Review: Black Panther ★★★★★
So much anticipation was built up for the long awaited film, Black Panther and thank goodness it did not disappoint. This film has to be one of the best stand alone superhero films recently released by Marvel Studios. Many would argue Iron Man is perhaps the best, but Black Panther sure does come in very close to it.
The cast, the plot, the script, the action, the CGI… everything was perfectly well balanced to produce an exquisite and revolutionary film to please Marvel fans. It’s a true film that represents heroism and challenging characters and the audience to always do what’s right despite what may be at risk.
If you recall, we met T’Challa known as the Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), in Captain America: Civil War that was released in 2016; where his father, King T’Chaka (John Kani) of Wakanda was killed. This film picks up after his father’s death, where now T’Challa is to take the throne.
With power and ruling over Wakanda, comes bumps in the road and that’s just what T’Challa encountered when an old enemy reappeared, Ulysses Klaue (Andy Serkis) along with a new enemy, American mercenary (Michael B. Jordan) also known as the “Killmonger”. This new enemy appears with a a grand purpose and that is to take over the throne and everything that Wakanda has to offer.
Seeing Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) and the American mercenary (Michael B. Jordan) on screen together will definitely give fans a thrilling adventure and even have you clenching your seat through the film. Lets not forget about the women who empowered this film and most definitely left a lasting impression, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, and Letitia Wright each stood out in their own ways in Black Panther.
If you haven’t gotten your tickets to see this film yet, good luck! This film is sure to be sold out the first weekend. Marvel fan or not, you’re going to greatly enjoy this film.
