Major disappointment

Rating: 2/10 (21 May 2018)

Super over-hyped in the press (just because its a movie mainly with non-white people, that barely touch on subjects such as immigration and isolationism vs. globalisation - ooh, how deep!)
The actors performed really well, they did the best they could with what was given to them. I blame the story writers who wrote up an attempt at substance and completely side stepped action (in the whole movie, you only see 2 action scenes including the Black Panther (in character), for the rest its just filler and "drama")
The antagonist appears out of nowhere and takes the throne he deserves, by winning all too easily in a non-super fight. To this T'challa thinks he is right to claim revenge and take his throne back .. even though he lost it fair and square (true, he neither died or surrendered, but he did black out and lost). But hey, apparently getting rid of 'the' immigrant seems to supersede honor. Am I the only one who noticed the parallel between the antagonist's plan of arming the globally disenfranchised with weapons and US foreign policy for these past many decades? Yet this seems to be a good enough reason for wanting him off the throne. That and he's a foreigner (something 'disturbing' enough that the Jabari tribe decide to come down from their mountains in order to help Black Panther).
I don't think the movie sends out the right messages.
Great potential but none of it was tapped, at all. Complete waste of time. The movie marks a clear difference in direction from previous Marvel movies which were more about bringing the Comics experience to the screen than this sad attempt at story building.
