Saw Black Panther tonight. Enjoyed it. It's not the best movie but it is good. Massively overrated but still good.
The storyline is predictable and nothing that hasn't been done in a thousand other movies. The early fight scenes feel like they were recorded by Michael J Fox. The camera shakes so much that it gave me motion sickness, and I never get motion sickness. On the plus side the scenary is great, the characters are interesting, I thought they were going to make it all American rap music even though it was set in Africa, but it was actually decent music that worked well. There's even some good reflections on the culture. While they're effectively making this groups of black people look like the most advanced and intelligent people there are, they cut them down a few rungs in how they treat other people. And there's very little instances of white people being stereotypical racists like I expected. To the most part it's the black people who are racist but it doesn't touch on it much.
Overall I'd give it a 7.5/10
