Man, it feels like I’ve waited forever for this one! [Minor spoilers ahead]
I still don’t see why some detractors keep saying all Marvel movies look the same, or that we’re getting superhero fatique. If films keep being as unique, original and different as this one, this can go pretty long. It’s the bad ones that make people say stuff like this.
Anyways, onto Black Panther itself.
The story was bold, fun and such a great colorful scifi film!
The action scenes were pretty intense. While I always find the Panther pretty fun to look at and incredibly badass on real life-screen, it was two “powerless” fights atop a waterfall that impressed me the most. Those fights were so tense and captivating, I was on the hedge of my seat!!
The entire cast was pretty amazing!
I didn’t follow much of the spoils, trailers and announcements, so I was pretty pleasantly surprised to see Forest Whitaker turning in another solid performance in the film. Danai Gurira impressed me a lot, she’s not just TV material. Lupita Nyong'o was, of course, amazing and as captivating as always. And I ended up enjoying quite a lot this very young take on Shuri, played by Letitia Wright unlike what I feared at first.
Some surprises, like the way they smartly incorporated the other tribes/Black Panther rivals in this MCU version.
I liked seeing elements of classic Kirby Black Panther as well as modern elements from Christopher Priest’s run.
And a special mention to White Gorilla and how randomly funny and enjoyable this character (and his BADASS tribe) turned out to be.
I didn’t wanna leave Wakanda there, at the end. (Specially leaving the theater to a pretty gray-sh rainy day over here..)
The music was A-MAZING! The visuals GORGEOUS! The humor was present, but not overblown either. The tech - impressive!
I can’t wait to see a lot more of Black Panther and Wakanda in future films.
The post-credit sequences were prety one-note (hello, Bucky!).
Oh, and also...
