Rating: 9/10 (3 March 2018)

It's been a while since I went for a movie and the release of the last Marvel movie before the big release of the final chapter in Avengers - Black Panther - is a great reason for a movie night.
Usually, I watch a movie with few expectations based on the trailer or teaser, however, Black Panther is a one off case. I didn't watch the trailer but just was following up on the release of the movie.
Right from the beginning, the tone of the movie was set as slow and dark and it is evident that it is not going to be a run of the mill super hero movie. In my view, Chadwick Boseman is the perfect fit for the role of Black Panther. Yes, you might have seen him in action in Civil War, but, when you watch this movie, you will also accept what I just said - Puhfut fit for the role!!!
The antagonist Micheal B Jordan, is also a perfect match to the role and I always believe that any movie will be great success if the antagonist has a meaty character and performs well.
Since the movie is an adaptation of a comic book, the imagination of the director is unlimited. Be it the technology, weapons, vehicles - the movie showcases unimaginable concepts that are weaved into the screenplay to look believable. Kudos to the screenplay writer(s) who have ensured to show the mixture of advanced technology + the cultural diversities among people. The story-line is pretty much simple, one you would have seen it in multiple movies and whatever the director thought would create a surprise never really was there. In-fact, we were able to guess the next scene or sequence without much of a problem. But, as I usually say, guessing a sequence is easy but looking at the way it is conceptualized and taken to the big screen deserves an applause.
One of the negatives that I felt about the movie is that many action sequences lacked clarity, especially the initial sequences - introduction of the Black Panther - was too dark. Also, the climax sequence - could have been a lot clearer if the action would have taken place elsewhere, just my thought.
However, being an adaptation from a comic book, you just have to sit back and enjoy the movie and do not try to defy logic. There is no room for any logic in any super hero movie and it applies same to Black Panther as well. That's why, I have titled this article as Unlimited Imagination and I am sure after watching the movie, you will also agree to my view.
Overall, on a Friday night, after a hectic week (be it at work or school), you can definitely watch Black Panther and enjoy the 140+ mins of Wakanda!!!
