something new

Rating: 9/10 (4 March 2018)

I had never heard of the Marvel character Black Panther before the movie got released, so that made it even more of a surprise. What an experience. I don't think that I would go so far as to call the movie a masterpiece, but it's to see a superhero movie unlike the ones that we're used to seeing. Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker and Andy Serkis put on some impressive performances, and I especially enjoyed hearing all the different languages spoken. With any luck, "Black Panther" will lead to a more complex focus on Africa in cinema in the coming years.
