The movie delivers

Rating: 8/10 (16 February 2018)

This movie has been overhyped and arguably overrated no doubt but it does indeed deliver on what it promised, to add no film is above criticism. You really delve into the world of Wakanda a technological and cultural phenomenon. It is very well realised, the colour palette is great and there are some really nice shots.
Every single character is interesting and fun, although a few were one dimensional the actors somehow make up for it. Standouts were Chadwick Boseman, Andy Serkis and Winston Duke. When the tribal fights occur it just heightens the drama and I loved that. The Dora milage are also great too(okoye is a badass).
Not to mention this film had a spectacular soundtrack by Ludwig Goransson that stays true to African music while still having a twinge of hip hop beats. Best soundtrack since the winter soldier, had to stop my self dancing in my seat.
The 'villain' is compelling and presents an interesting discussion to be had in relation to Wakanda and sharing their wealth with others who need it. However, I did find the character of Killmonger tiring at times, he is a hot headed fool but eh.
My major gripes were really the CGI fight scenes and the first 20 minutes were almost awful, but when this film picks up boi does it pick up. The humour is also hilarious most of the time but a few jokes made me die inside *what ArE THooOse*
I genuinely don't understand how anyone can give this film 1s and 4s and in the same breath give other mcu films good scores and I love the MCU. I also can't help but notice a trend in the type of people who give it such scores, it's either that they are dc fanboys or right wing snowflakes just as there are left wing snowflakes. I hate to get into politics but it is a sad reality surrounding this film. Perhaps film is truly subjective?
