Forgettable

Rating: 5/10 (2 May 2018)

This movie kind of throws you into some world where some African village at some point found some kind of magic metal that can do anything and everything (read: plot device) and is now some secret technologically advanced city.
Short of knowing the name, and hearing people raving about it I went in knowing nothing about Black Panther. I don't know if I would have enjoyed it more if I knew more of the backstory before hand.
There was no real character development, short of the bad guy, and even then it's just a basic back story to explain why he's bad. The action wasn't really exciting. The CGI was pretty bad given the year and the money behind this.
Maybe I've been spoiled by the trend of super hero movies kind of making fun of themselves and being partially comedies, but I found this boring and completely forgettable.
It's not a movie I could ever see myself watching again, while most other recent Marvel movies I'd happily watch again. I was ready to give up 30 minutes in, but with the hype I assumed it would get better. It did not.
