BLACK PANTHER NOT THAT GOOD

Black panther the movie was overrated and over hyped movie due to the fact the movie is mainly comprised of great black actors and actresses. But they all didn’t mix well together; the acting is ok but nothing to write home about. I am not saying that the movie is terrible; Black Panther is still a good and enjoyable movie, but you shouldn’t go into this movie expecting too much. It’s just a typical Marvel movie, good once but on multiple watchings you start to see the cracks (its like most Marvel movies). I’ll start with the good things of the movie. The movie has many highlights like the setting of Wakanda. Wakanda is a beautiful city within the movie. It is colorful, and feels lived in. Another good part of the movie is the character Kill Monger. Kill Monger is the antagonist of the movie. His character is interesting and well thought out, his motivations are also interesting. He wants to give Wakanda's technology to all the people who are oppressed. I was unclear of whether Kill Monger was giving weapons to all people being oppressed or just to black people in America. These are some of the good things of the movie, but there is also a lot of bad things of the movie. Black Panther the movie is not perfect (no movie or anything is perfect). One of the bad parts of the movie was the character Everett K. Ross. Everett K. Ross was an uninteresting and unnecessary character for the movie; he didn’t add anything to the movie’s story. Everett K. Ross was only there to tell us about Wakanda, but we already knew about Wakanda at the time. He was also there to connect civil war and Black Panther, but they could have done that by talking about Black Panther’s father. Another pointless character was black panthers pointless love interest. She so pointless I ever forgot her name. She was also had done nothing to add to the story, in all the scenes she was in she was just boring. She was added in to the movie to give T’Challa a reason to fight for Wakanda, but he already had a reason to fight for Wakanda. Like his mom, sister, and for his father’s honor, and also plot convenience. Another boring character was please don't shoot me Black Panther. Despite being the main character black panther felt super dull in the movie more so than he was in Civil War. What I mean by that is he was boring. His performance felt like he was be held back. In the movie Civil War T’Challa had a great arc of revenge, but in the movie Black Panther all that was lost until the very end of the movie when he is talking to his father. But the rest of the movie was was just him walking and talking about nothing with random people. On a different note Black Panther the movie had some bad special effects in the last act especially. Like when T’Challa is fighting Kill Monger it looks like a bad video game cutscene. The fight had some weird camera angles and inorganic character movement. For a different movie in the early 2000’s it would not pass for good, especially for a marvel movie, Which is known for great special effects (have you seen infinity war). In conclusion if Black Panther wasn’t so over hype it would be a better movie. Although the movie was over hyped it was still an enjoyable movie. 6/10 this is all my opinion please don't shoot me.
