Don't Listen to the Hype

Rating: 4/10 (20 February 2018)

Black Panther is really just another predictable and average Marvel movie. Most Marvel movies I find enjoyable to a certain extent, and would usually rate a 6 or 7/10, but this movie falls short. The characters are weak, the writing and story are quite bland, the acting is whatever, and Black Panther himself is meh. The entire movie is really just a whole bunch of average and boring series of events that follow the cookie cutter format of any other superhero movie. What makes this movie slightly worse than your average superhero movie, is that the humor is terrible and it takes itself far too seriously. We are even treated to a "What are those?!" joke near the middle of the film. Overall, Black Panther is a slighlty below average film that you really don't have to watch.
P.S. There is no meaningful political commentary in this film. Don't listen to the people that say there is.
