Black Panther

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Panther_(film)#/media/File:Black_Panther_film_poster.jpg

For the newest film I went to see in the cinema when it came out was Black Panther 

First off, we have the story which has new king T'Challa having to protect his kingdom from arms dealer Ulysses Klaue and Eric Killmonger. I thought the story was very entertaining with the old way vs the new way of thinking for a rising country being brought up and the beliefs behind the characters add to it as well.

Next, we have the characters which overall, I thought were compelling with strong motivations behind them which made them more interesting with the obvious standouts being T'Challa and Killmonger who have ideals and motivations they want to pursue for their country.

Now we have the action which was very entertaining and thrilling with the standouts being the trials by combat when Black Panther pits himself against a member of a tribe who would wish to take the throne as well as the fights with Killmonger. As for the visuals I thought the film looked stunning showing off the country of Wakanda a technological advanced city with how it is used as well as the potential with their precious metal - Vibranium. The action sequences were also shot well showing off the fighting styles of the warriors of Wakanda and how they fight on screen, particularly Black Panther himself. Moving onto the tone of the film which I thought was balanced well between the bits of comedy as well as the drama that unfolded. I also thought the world and characters suited the tone nicely. I thought the soundtrack of the film was amazing with the use of varied African tracks as well as famous tracks from black artists.

Overall, I thought this film was another standout movie and proves Black Panther is another fine addition to the roster of the Avengers and looking forward to seeing him in Infinity War.

I give Black Panther a score of 8/10
