A movie with heart and soul

Rating: 8/10 (29 May 2018)

When a script is written with passion and heart, you can feel it..a satisfying feeling after finishing the movie..truely a storyline with a soul. I can't help but comparing this with Star Wars Last Jedi. The villain Killmonger is how the character of Kylo Ren should have been written. Even though Killmonger is the villain, he is still one of my favourite characters in the movie. He is a tortured soul that acts out of hatred and ends up on the wrong path, even though he thinks his actions are righteous. I also like the fact that they chose to play the Marvel Studios logo after his introduction in the start. It was a unique and different way to place the logo, compared to other Marvel movies. At first it seemed weird, but after watching the movie you understand the intention. As the camera zoomed away from the kids looking up at the sky, the logo plays, which marked the birth of the future villain Killmonger. That was the turning point, and when rewatching that scene, it just plays out perfectly. Such small details are true movie art, unlike Last Jedi which tries hard, but ultimately turned out pretentious. The rest of the cast are also terrific, and I like the fact that they didn't add any unnecessary humour. Two big thumbs up for this one.
