Although i think it's an incredibly important film, and i really like the character and the actor who plays him, i wasn't a huge fan of the movie.
I felt the exact same way about Aquaman .. and i cant help but draw so many parallels between the 2 films. Hidden advance civilisations, the hero is royalty, a lot of flash and dash but nothing unexpected .. etc.
Black Panther is technically a good movie and as i said - a huge cultural landmark in cinema history - but i couldn't connect to it. Never saw the comic as a kid either .. which is probably a huge contributor to how i feel about it.
I do like the character/actress who plays his scientist/sister .. she's a lot of fun.

I thought Black Panther was ok, but I thought they went a boring route. It's been a few years since I've seen it, but basically I thought the best part of the story was Erik Stevens/N'Jadaka abandoned in America who returns home take the throne and plans to share Wakanda's technology with people of African descent around the world to help them conquer their oppressors. If the film had him do that for an extended time, and not just be some kind of arms dealer, that would have been a very interesting main story, but instead it was this side story that didn't fit so well.
