So many great superhero films out there, but this one gets nominated for "Best Picture"? WHY?!

Rating: 4/10 (14 February 2019)

DISCLAIMER: Before you read my review, I want to ensure all of you that I am 100% not racist. I don't like this movie, it has absolutely nothing to do with the race and culture. I love the superhero Black Panther, and I enjoy the African people and learning about their culture. This movie does establish the sets/Locations, and special effects well, but nothing else. Any way, back to Black Panther. When I first found out he was joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe I got excited. Black Panther was great in "Captain America: Civil War", and Chadwick Boseman is a perfect actor to play this role. Then came the solo movie "Black Panther", and..... Well, just read my review below.
"Black Panther" (2018), there has been a lot of hype surrounding this "movie", even before the first trailer was released! Many Marvel fans had a lot of hope and expectations, was it worth the hype to me? To be quite honest, no. I was very disappointed with this "movie". Why? The "movie" is an overall dull and boring experience from beginning to end. I kept checking my watch to see how much time was left, and I also fell asleep numerous times! I almost walked out of the theater. But, this is not the first Marvel movie that I've absolutely hated. There are other Marvel movies, along with some other different films not related to Marvel where I almost walked out of the theater. However there are positives for this "movie", but very few. (I ALWAYS TRY TO SALVAGE ANY POSITIVES OUT OF ANY MOVIE I SEE.) First off, the special effects are first-rate of course, Chadwick Boseman is a good actor, and a perfect choice for the Black Panther character. But, I think Black Panther works better as side character, or a team player in other movies. Also, the sets and locations in the "film" gave it an interesting atmosphere. But sadly, those variables did not help the "movie". I'm struggling to give this "film" a 2 out of 5 star rating on my personal scale. On IMDB, every two stars count as 1 star on my scale. So, that means it gets a 4 out of 10 on the IMDB scale. Unless you're a fan of the Marvel films, I suggest skipping this "movie" and saving your money. I am kind of happy I saw it though, I just don't think I'll be seeing it again.
