Incredible movie! 3D made it even better. Captivated from beginning to end.

Rating: 10/10 (22 February 2018)

I've been excited to see Black Panther for a while but had no idea just how much I'd enjoy it. It's hard to decide which details to praise first. This film was strong but graceful. The fight scenes were intense. In every scene, the visuals had my full attention. Everything from the color schemes of the outfits to the contrast between the real Wakanda and what the outside world sees, was so well thought out.
Hairstyles were so intricate on some characters but the women who didn't have hair wore their baldness so beautifully. Seeing the deep strength of the female characters sent a surge of energy through me. It was nice for once to see women on an equal plain to the men and not to be silenced when speaking boldly. The mixture of high tech/ modern gadgets and tribal outfits/rituals seemed to send a message that holding on to traditions while moving forward is important for strength and survival of a nation. I've been very careful to avoid spoilers but it's been pretty hard considering the many details that stood out to me. Whether you're a comic book/superhero fan or not, I would recommend this film to just about anyone who loves a powerful story with a subtle laugh every so often.
