extremely disappointed

Rating: 3/10 (27 March 2018)

After all the hype Black Panther got, I was expecting a more interesting storyline, but I found the storyline to be very generic. On the brighat side, the movie did try to convey deeper messages in a creative manner. For example, at the start of the movie, they clearly addressed the history of slavery and the civil rights movement in the US. They also portrayed strong female characters, which I think was great.
On the other hand, the jokes they had in the movie felt so out of place and they were too cringey. I feel like the jokes might have been more acceptable if the movie was comedy, or if the storyline and characters weren't too serious. The jokes just felt out of context and irrelavent.
I feel like if the movie was from the villain's perspective, it would be more interesting because then you would see how he discovered more about his father and how he came about to be this "villain". I honestly believe that his perspective wouldn't be boring like the king's perspective.
I also hated how they made one of the kidnappers say "wallahi I will kill you" as this portrays Muslims negatively like most media sources nowadays. I found it extremely repulsive and so offensive to many people.
I could go on about what I didn't like, but there are too many things.
