Ok,so before we start,I just want to say that,since i'm a good person at heart,i'm going to say what went wrong with this movie too,since this movie is not flawless,that being said...Enjoy!
With all the new releases from MARVEL Studios (Spider-Man Homecoming or Thor Ragnarok),it might be a clichè to say that Black Panther is a great movie,but I would mostly define it as 'the most intelligent movie in the MCU.
Don't get me wrong,I loved their previous efforts,especially the recent Spider-Man Homecoming,but after a 'BOOM!' and a 'KA-POW!',Ryan Coogler (Creed and Fruitvale Station) decides to stop and do something that I think 'X-Men (2000)' and the whole DCEU sould've done better: Giving us a 'realistic' look at superheroes,how superheroes can sometimes be threatened by the Government.
All of that while giving us a fascinating look at Wakanda,T'Challa's hometown,a city so technological Apple would really blush.
Accompained by an excellent Production Design and some impressive cinematography by the Oscar-Nominated Rachel Morrison,as well as the score by Creed's Ludwig Gorasson and the rather bombastic soundtrack by Kendrick Lamar,this movie tries its best to shine in detail,a thing that even Jordan Peele tried to do with Get Out (2017). And holy smokes,it does...
Of course Boseman gives a great performance as T'Challa,of course Serkis and Freeman are great in this,but I really have to praise Michael B. Jordan (Creed and Fantastic Four 2015) for giving us the best MCU Villain since Loki. With Erik Killmonger,we understand where he's coming from,we understand his motivation,and while he makes stuff go 'BADA-BOOM!' and 'BADA-BING!',you can sometimes side with him because,as said,his motivation was interesting,and I won't spoil it because it needs to be experienced by your own eyes.
Also I have to mention the women in this movie,because,just like the gals in Wonder Woman,they are a treasure in this movie,from Letitia Wright (who plays Shuri,T'Challa's hi-tech sister) to Lupita Nyong'o (T'Challa's ex-girlfiend) and Danai Guirira. They were as charismatic as ever and they had their time to shine in this movie.
Now,as I said in the beginning,i'm going to mention the flaws,because this movie isn't flawless etc...
During the final fight between Black Panther and Killmonger,the CG in the suits was easily noticeable,as if it was a videogame (unlike the entirety of Justice League,where everything was a cartoon),and it was disappointing to see Angela Bassett (Ramonda,T'Challa's mom) being not used as much as the rest of the cast.
Also,from an impressive opening sequence,you're in for a game of 'Where's Waldo?',since Killmonger rarely appears during the whole 1st act of the movie.
But aside from that,Black Panther was a great time at the movies. With an excellent Production Design,Ryan Coogler's impressive way of directing and,obviously,Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa,it was great to see that I can even have a real blast at a movie that isn't Spider-Man 2 (2004).
