Excellent story and storytelling

Rating: 10/10 (18 February 2018)

Black Panther is both bold and nuanced, features about a dozen unique major characters and makes you care about each of them, and runs through an amazing story with thrilling narrative turns, all without feeling overcomplicated. And it's visually beautiful. It's a delight, simply put.
Reviewers kneejerk-calling this film 'divisive' can only be explained by an ignorance of both world civilization history and current events, and an oversensitivity to topics they have the luxury of otherwise avoiding. The story and characters are NUANCED. Sometimes people do bad things while trying to do good things. This isn't new and it shouldn't be controversial in a story for adults. All stories have a political stance. Black Panther handles its own positively and well.
