Decent movie, should've been better

Rating: 6/10 (10 March 2018)

When you see the Marvel comic flipping through to start a movie, you get ready for a beast movie. Black Panther did not reach that level. The movie was very slow for a large part of it. They tried to give a lot of background and that's fine, but the problem was they ended up rushing through the good part of the movie because they spent too much time on pointless stuff.
You have a nation that was ruled by generations of Kings from the same family this is great. So all the future kings grow up in the same nation. Wakanda is a very advanced, happy nation. The old king dies and the new king fights for his right to the throne against the one challenger and wins.
Now the story completely gets turned upside down in what feels like 5 minutes. A young man shows up with a dead body of the man he killed in a bag, with an old sob story, a lip tattoo that is basically a passport that he could've used anytime in his life to get to wakanda, but chose to be a world wide killer instead and then shows up one day and basically becomes the new king in 1 day and launches the country in a civil war. Let's go through those again: a perfect society, a new king everyone knew and loved his entire life, gets removed in 1 day by some kid from Compton and the new king is respected and fought for even when the other king people thought was dead was still alive and never conceded. So they just threw out their laws to follow a new guy who just got there yesterday who was gonna lead them into world war and probably ruin their utopian society.
I think the better story, which we've seen a thousand times (Thor for example), would have been two brothers who grew up in the same nation fighting for the crown or even extended Klaw's role in the story and made him the main villain who acquired vibranium and found a way to conquer Wakanda and expel the real king only to have the real king come back and destroy him. That would've made much more sense.
The story they had for this movie just didn't hold water. Could've been so much better.
