"Black Panther": I'm not going to ride the HYPE TRAIN, but I enjoyed this movie.

Rating: 8/10 (20 February 2018)

I'm going give the GOOD, BAD, and VERDICT.
GOOD: Characters- To be quite honest, I thought it was extremely spot on with the casting for this film. Everyone brought their A game to do their character for this film. This is one of the few marvel movies that every single character has a time to shine and has a purpose for being in the movie.
Humor - It does a great job with its humor for the most part for not making it feel forced. It flows extremely well in this movie. They used it in a way to not put a joke in there to take a character's behavior out of place. It's in a way that they use the character's personalities as tools to set up and make a joke, which is fantastic and real.
CGI (PART 1)- The CGI they use in most of the scenery was really nice to look at. They make Wakanda look so beautiful and alive, also the way they use it for the technology in the movie is extremely impressive.
Action- The action in this film might take a turn for some people, because it's really different and unique compared to some past MCU movies. It goes more towards a "Raw, Brutal, Tribal type of fighting style." I first it took me awhile to get used to it, but then I ended appreciating the way they did it after the movie.
Villains- Everyone probably heard that Erik Killmonger played by (Micheal B. Jordan) is one of the greatest villains in the MCU, tied with Loki. I'm here to say: ABSOLUTELY!!! His character has a presence about him that he is really threatening. You also get a feel towards him that you say: "I know that your methods are wrong, but on terms of what your goal is, you have a point." You understand his reasons for what and why he is in the movie. Klaw was very entertaining to watch on screen as well. He was very enjoyable to watch with Andy Serkis' energy for the character.
Score- The music in this film is great, I enjoyed every single song that came with each scene. (I might end up buying the album.)
BAD: 2 MAJOR ISSUES:
1. the third act, kind of lost it's way and it became "Let's stop the bad guy" rush mode.
2. I think the movie should have been a tad bit longer. To put a little more depth for the third act. Also to give Erik Killmonger a little more screen time for his presence was a key to keep the flow of the movie going.
VERDICT: But overall I had blast watching this film for it's great development, characters, unique style, overall story, and understandable motives. I highly recommend watching if you are a huge Marvel fan!!! 7.8 out of 10
