Black Panther (2018)
King T'Challa returns home to the reclusive, technologically advanced African nation of Wakanda to serve as his country's new leader. However, T'Challa soon finds that he is challenged for the throne by factions within his own country as well as without. Using powers reserved to Wakandan kings, T'Challa assumes the Black Panther mantle to join with ex-girlfriend Nakia, the queen-mother, his princess-kid sister, members of the Dora Milaje (the Wakandan 'special forces') and an American secret agent, to prevent Wakanda from being dragged into a world war.

Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
CHANGE THE SCORE OF THIS BACK TO 7.5/10. I Love this movie so much, Black Panther is my fav superhero
An insult to black people. Also an insult to the viewer's intelligence. A breathtakingly offensive movie.
The way they cinematically weaved this Marvel Fantasy into today's (not widely talked about) Technological (nanotechnology) as well as futuristic technology will electrify-electrifying capabilities. I'm hooked! Waiting for the sequel, Black Panther: The Wake of a Nation.
This has to be the most Overhyped Movie I've seen this Year many saying this was the Best Superhero Movie, which felt like a pretty Bold Statement, but Therfore i was intrigued to see what all the Hype was about an... Boy was this Movie a Huge Letdown, now I really wanted to Like this Movie Black Panther was one of the best parts of Civil War an i was looking forward to where they'd take his character and they did Nothing with his Character he already had a Great Arc in Civil War as a Side Character yet somehow in his own Movie he feels Bland and That's the worst thing a Marvel Character can be cause they make Great Choices with the Actors that can Elevate the Material there Given, Chadwick Boseman who is a Great Actor was not good in this an I hate to say that cause his Scene in Civil War was some of the Best Acting I'd seen in a Marvel Movie, so for his First Solo Movie to be so Plain and feels empty which Sucks cause each Marvel Movie has a Distinct Tone an Vision the Director Brings, but Ryan Coogler who made Creed which is so Much Better than its Deserves to be, has made a Movie that feels like it has No Personality, its up there with Dr Strange or Ant-Man in terms of Style an even those Movies had Creative Action Scenes which all the Marvel Movies have done a pretty Great Job delivering, the Action in this besides a pretty Cool Car Chase which is elevated by the Music, any other action scene was Very Poorly handled from Terrible CGI and its not like the Movie doesn't have the Budget they just half-assed it when it came to the Action, Each Marvel Movie before has done a Good job with being Fun Popcorn that'll entertain, but this is one of the least Entertaining Movies they've put out in a while it was Boring in parts an that's the worst thing these Movies can be is Boring cause if the Action Sucks than the only thing you can Enjoy is the Story an Character's, Before seeing this I'd heard comparisons to Game of Thrones, and James Bond, besides the Normal Outsider comes to Dethrone the King that reminded me of The Lion King, it brings nothing New or Fresh to the Table besides a pretty Good Soudtrack, but other than that the Story was Generic you can predict where the stories can go, there was a Twist in the Movie that somewhat surprised me but that's pretty much it. The Characters in these Movies have had pretty strong Side Character's i can't say the same for this Movie, the Only Entertaining Character is Michael B Jordan as one of the better Marvel Villians but he feels like he's barley in the Movie he has his Introduction Scene, then leaves for awhile an doesn't return til the Low point Of the Story that Most of these Movies have an it was so Cliched an I don't get how People thought he was Dead in that scene, and if you ask me that scene should've taken place earlier in the Movie then we could see the Struggle of Black Panther coming back to the Throne but he just leaves for 10 mins an shows up then Beats the Bad Guy an everyone Wins, So Michael B Jordan is the Best Part of this Movie but he's barley in it enough so What are we left with... Well all of the other Characters are pretty Boring to watch not just the Character's but the scenes there in feel Pointless all they do is walk around and talk about unnecessary Stuff, the only interactions that where entertaining was Black Panther an his Sister who was a good Character until she became the "Comedic Relief" her Jokes didn't get a single laugh from me an besides making Cool Gear for the Hero she doesn't really have much of a Character, the Script feels rather Dry almost Like it was Written an Directed by a Machine it cause besides one Cool Shot nothing about this Movie felt Unique like everyone is Praising it to be, Before this Movie I had seen Thor Ragnarok an that Movie captures everything you'd Want from a Marvel Movies its Funny, its Creative, you can Feel the Director's Vision an Style it felt Different. This was a huge Downgrade over Ragnarok, an it is one of the Most Generic Superhero Movies I've seen in awhile so if your one of those People that Loves it cause you feel Empowered by having a Black Superhero Movie that's Great I just can't say i feel the same way, there are much better "Black Movies" out there as this is being called and Overall I'd give this a 4/10 it was very Dissapointing to Me besides one Cool Action scene along with one Good Performance this movie felt like one of the first Marvel Movies like Thor or Captain America but with a slightly better Budget but they didn't use it as well as they could've
