I Don't Get The Hype, But I Liked It

Rating: 7/10 (28 December 2019)

I just watched Black Panther
I enjoyed it at the cinema, but truthfully it has not held up for me on repeat viewings. Whilst I appreciate the cultural significance of the movie, a Best Picture Oscar nomination it did not deserve. It wasn't even the best Marvel movie of the year (That honour goes to Logan).
Chadwick Boseman is slightly over shadowed by a ridiculously charismatic turn by Michael B Jordan. Forest Whittaker and Angela Bassett are both good, as are Danai Girira and Lupia Nyong'o It is Letitia Wright who steals the show as Shuri however, she is a delight.
The action scenes are all well done, but the final fight left me a bit bored as two faceless CGI characters slugged it out
Overall I liked it, I just do not get why it was so over praised.
