Amazing

Rating: Null/10 (24 October 2018)

I watched it and was floored at the ridiculousness of this. It's every cliché from all the other superhero movies from the last ten years buuuuuut it's based in Africa. Next will be China. Basically there's a country with no immigration, that frowns on intermarriage with outsiders, and with a technology-based wall around it to prevent outsiders from getting inside (yup) that somehow becomes the most highly-advance country in the world where everyone is as smart as Tony Stark but most people still choose to live in huts while the monarchy lives in a palace and no one resent this. Whenever someone else discovers the secret, the military (all female, of course) gently gets the outsider to keep the secret. Despite THEIR poverty, the outsiders agree to let the wealthy Wakandans keep their secrets and their wealth while the outsiders continue to live in poverty. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created a guy in a spandex suit fifty years ago who was athletic with elevated strength (not super). Now BP is basically wearing a suit of armor (like the new Spider-Man) that absorbs energy and sends it out again and uses gadgets like Batman and Iron Man. The new production team decided to cobble together all the witty banter and clichés from the last ten years and package it as something new. Sorry but this was one of the most underwhelming superhero movies since any of the Fantastic Four or X-Men films.
