Black Panther Movie Review

Black Panther was the most awaited movie of the first quarter of 2018 and it is also the last Marvel movie before the most talked about movie of the year, Avengers Infinity War, releases later this year. Black Panther had too much riding on its shoulders and it has not let down on its expectations.

Black Panther is not a superhero movie in the true sense but is about characters fighting for their homeland, which is Wakanda here. The movie's story flows like a bollywood movie with father son relationship and revenge woven into the movie's plot. Where the movie deviates from being bollywood is in its action sequences and showcasing of Wakandan technology. The action sequences are very innovative and keep you glued to the ongoings in the movie. The other innovative thing is the Wakandan technology that has been shown in the movie. It is difficult for a normal man like me to imagine such technologies and to make it look so exciting was a difficult task which has been done very well. The screenplay of the movie also looks flawless as no scene in the movie seems pointless. Thus the movie has been very well written and translated into celluloid. The movie has mind blowing stunts and visual effects, which together with the innovative style is great to the eyes. Wakanda city also looks visually stunning

Chadwick Boseman as Tchala and Michael B. Jordan as Killmonger are the stars of the movie. However all the actors have done a good job in their respective roles. The actors have also been given their due as all the roles are important to take the movie ahead. However special mention has to be given to Martin Freeman who has done a commendable job in a short role.

 

Ryan Coogler has both written and directed this movie. He has done a commendable job in directing this movie and has given the movie a very modern look. This movie looks refreshing as Ryan got a chance to introduce the world of Wakanda to the audience. He has also been roped in to direct the next instalment of the franchise and it will be intersting to see what he has to offer in that movie. The movie truly speaks volumes of the directorial style of Ryan Coogler.

Overall this movie has brought in freshness to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and one can't wait to see what Black Panther adds to the Avengers Infinity War. All MCU fans should go and watch this visual and creative masterpiece.

Rating - 3.5 / 5
