Way too much hype

Rating: 4/10 (24 February 2018)

There was a ton of CGI used in Black Panther. So much so that it was getting annoying. Standing structures look really good in Wakanda (Asgard and the Amazons Island looked great in the marvel universe as well). It's the mixing of live action and CGI that don't Jell, hopefully they get better using CGI and fix this in later movies (for example the fighting rhinos just looked ridiculous).
Every motivation and jibe thrown in this movie was clearly pandering to the left. This made me sad, to me a superhero movie is supposed to be good fun for everybody. I don't need to site examples of the politics in play they're just so blatantly "there" you can't miss them. Unfortunately not even superhero movies are safe from politics anymore....
The plot of the movie was weak, there were no surprises to be found. Everybody knew T'challa was still alive and that he would be back (T'challa losing that fight to Warmonger and being tossed over that convenient waterfall was easy to forshadow). Why this society let Warmonger take over and remain in power after his first decree was to burn all of the black panther plants was amazing. At that point everybody should have just agreed to kill him, but they didn't because, movie.
Wakanda was pretty, (the invisible jet was pretty cool), I also enjoyed the performances of Warmonger and Smiegel so I'll give this movie a 4.
