I was very excited when this movie was announced. The ratings were over the top, so I had higher expectations than I usually have.
Unfortunately I was very disappointed. I hate to say it, because I am a very fond Marvel fan and I've seen every Marvel movie over a dozen times, but this one will not be one of those. I am also glad I didn't have to pay for it, because I was invited. That says a lot.
The plot was dull. I didn't get what Killmonger wanted to achieve and why. First it looked like revenge because his father was killed by T'Chaka, then it was disappointment that Wakanda kept all the power for itself and didn't help others - outside Wakanda - to fight oppression. He wasn't very impressive as villain as well. Maybe he should have had more screen time?
In Civil War Chadwick Boseman excelled as king and BP but in this movie he wasn't very convincing as weren't the other actors.
I thought to see more of the African and Wakanda's culture and high-tech. There was only Shuri who was outstanding but wasn't portrayed very well either. All was done so fast, nobody has been shown more than a few snippets at a time. It was a come and go of characters but there was no conviction, no suspense.
I'm sad that the first Marvel movie that was made with nearly all black people, was so poorly made. It would have deserved so much better.
It nearly breaks my heart to say it, but it's not worth watching.
