Entertaining to watch but expected more

Rating: Null/10 (24 February 2018)

Black Panther was going to be a new and different entry into the Marvel film universe. A superhero and story we have not seen or heard before. The film definitely had its moments and plus points such as great CGI and effects. The fight scenes were a treat to watch and it had a great exotic feel to it.
However the story was very predictable and linear in that there were no surprises and nothing too original. The villain, despite a likeable actor, was a weak and uninspired one. The son of traitor who trained in the army and has returned to take the throne. There was a lack of humor and hence the drama felt forced and weak. The soundtrack was quite poor and there no strong supporting actors to help lift the film.
Overall a nice entry into the Marvel universe in the build up to the heavily anticipated Infinity war.
7/10
