BLACK PANTHER

Black Panther was directed by Ryan Coogler and stars Chadwick Boseman and Michael B, Jordan and an amazing cast of characters and tells the story of t'challa played by Boseman. Who is about to be crowned king of wakanda a secret City in the middle of Africa. That's completely shielded, that's thriving and yet no one knows about his existence. And what at first seemed like a responsibility, he could easily step into, he eventually learns there's a lot of hardships with being a king of this nation and a lot of problems arise. When his kingship is challenged by kill Monger. I was excited for black panther for a lot of reasons, but specifically because coogler directed it. I really like Fruitvale Station and I thought Creed was one of the best films of the past few years, for a seventh film in a franchise, to be that good. And the fact that Ryan coogler is basically, hugely inspirational to Young filmmakers out there. It's so cool that someone done this in Hollywood. His future is so bright, and he proves that he is once again, a very good director with this film. Black panther is a really good time. I had a blast with it. However, I do not think it is a Flawless film, and we're going to talk about some of the issues I have with the movie. That being said, there's a lot to praise and I'm very excited about the fact that this film did not just Make another Superhero Movie. Marvel didn't just take this material and say, okay. We're going to make a movie where some people fight stuff. Blows up. There's a message behind this film and one that's very relevant. The best Marvel movies. Thus far, have all been like that.

For instance, Winter Soldier is not just about Captain America fighting the Winter Soldier. It's about war. It's about the differences between freedom and fear and what the implications of that, could mean for humankind, which is one of the reasons Black Panthers hands out a special because this is also not a movie about characters just fighting. It's a film that has very relevant social commentary. Sure. There's a lot of action sequences and stuff goes boom. And there's cool costumes and gadgets. But I also don't like when a film preaches to me. I don't want to go to a movie and necessarily be taught a lesson that the film assumes. I didn't already know, which is why I was so relieved to find out that this film's commentary relies on the characters in it looking. Inside themselves, the characters in this film are really thinking about their viewpoints and what was wrong about their lives or their Nation before t'challa took the crown. Because almost all of t'challa's development, relies on him, realizing the sins of the previous generation and how he can make them better. It's not just about walking into this perfect Nation, where his kingship is unchallenged, and everything is thriving and amazing. 

It's actually about how damaging his previous generation was. And all of the problems that came from, that this is not something I expected. And by far, my favorite aspect of this movie is how these characters eventually get to the point where they are looking at themselves and trying to figure out how they can make their lives and their friendships and the world better as a result. And a lot of that has to do with this film's villain. It's one of the reasons why Michael, B Jordans character kill Monger is so damn good. Because his appearance in Universe is, what starts this needed change for this nation and although he's a villain and he's doing things like killing innocent people and you look at him and you think, no, I don't agree with that. You can almost side with kill mongers beliefs because you understand where he's coming from.

He's someone who wasn't raised in this protected, shielded environment. That is wakanda. He was raised in the United States. He dealt with all of these problems as a youth and now as an adult, he standing there like, Oh, hey, you guys have all this technology. Why aren't you sharing? Why aren't you helping everyone else? And these characters have to stand back and think about that and that's one of the reasons why kill Monger is such a great villain beyond the fact that Michael B. Jordan gives a charismatic performance. That's one of my favorite Marvel villains. Thus far and the best since Loki. The reason his villain is so good is because just like all great movie villains, their appearance in the film is what causes the heroes to look within themselves and realize their weaknesses. The worst villains in films. Are the ones that are just thoroughly evil guys. And you gotta stop them because they're going to blow up the world. Kill Monger is not like that. He's the type of person who comes on the scene and it's like I have these beliefs and I hope you all understand that there are totally relevant. I might be kind of evil and I might be killing innocent people, but listen to what I have to say and they do and it's one of the reasons why kill Monger such a great villain. So beyond the Thematic issues that are prevalent in Black Panther. I also like a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff. Kubler, once again, enlist the same composer from Creed who makes a fantastic score. I loved it particular. The percussion the color in this movie is vibrant. Everyone in the city of wakanda has amazing costumes. It's a gorgeously shot movie. It looks incredible and wants to T'challa starts to look within himself and realize the change that has to happen. I thought Boseman did a really great job leading up until that he's a very kingly presence. He purposely does not have a lot of charisma necessarily

Although he is really great in this role. The character of t'challa is one of the most intelligent in the Marvel Universe and he carries himself that way, He's an extremely intelligent person and that can make some of those earlier scenes with him, feel a little bit dull, because you're waiting for him to realize some things because from the very beginning of the movie, you recognize that, eventually some development is going to occur within this world and once it starts to occur, the film becomes very interesting leading up until that development.

It's awesome. And from the beginning, I was pretty riveted but then it becomes a Marvel movie for a while. There's a chase scene involving SUVs. That's well done enough.

Overall, Boseman's best performances and become a huge fan of him since the beginning.
