The basic components of the film are all poor-average, with the only real 5+/10 aspect being the aesthetics of Wakanda and its people. Overall I think this is probably one of the weaker Marvel movies, avoiding honest criticism because of the hype surrounding it.

As it turns out I was wrong, Black Panther was extremely average, I have no idea what these critics/review bots are talking about when they say that it is the best Marvel movie and worthy of 'critical' praise (as not just a super hero movie but as a movie in general.) With all the hype surrounding this movie (excellent trailers, Kendrick-curated soundtrack, all-African cast) I thought I was in for something special with Black Panther, as while they aren't remotely the highest quality movies, the Marvel cinematic universe movies are generally pretty entertaining. I can only hope the bubble will burst sometime soon, and bring back true standalone movies which don't need a cinematic universe. Overall, I believe my dissapointment for this movie is fuelled by the marvel cinematic universe, as I feel sick of the movies they are pumping out like an industrial machine, as they all feel the same with little originality. For example, the CGI was awful in the action scenes: whenever someone was even prodded, they would go flying across the screen in the most outlandish fashion, and the plot was torn straight out of the Lion King, as well as having the biggest waste of Martin Freeman since those Vodafone adverts. Littered with all the boring Marvel clichés I have come to know and hate, such as their inability to kill off any hero's to add gravitas to their story, or the one dimensional villain who only exists for one movie so you know they will kill him off before the next, Black panther is also plagued by new problems no one but me seemed to notice. The critics have vastly overrated this movie due to its groundbreaking cast, but the movie itself is not at all groundbreaking.

However, following the showing we were all dissapointed by a mess of a movie with little plot and little thought which only served as a pit stop for infinity war. I went to see Black Panther along with my friends, and following the hype train we were excited to see it.
