A good movie

I already saw this movie but since I just bought an awesome brand new TV, I thought I might as well check it out again. I remember the first time I saw the damned thing though. Indeed, since I kept hearing some great things about this flick, I was really eager to check it out and I had some rather high expectations. Well, eventually pretty much like with ‘Thor: Ragnarok’, even though I really liked the damned thing, I didn’t think it was so revolutionary though. In my opinion, the main issue was that, after already 18 movies, the MCU has become too big and it has become a shore to link all these movies together and make sure they don’t break the continuity. In this case, as a result, at least half of the movie was spent on explaining why Wakanda and Black Panther were not involved before in the MCU and why they will be involved from now on. I mean, it was rather well done but it wasn’t really compelling and I hope that, after ‘Infinity War’, Marvel will stop to link all their movies together and provide some much needed flexibility to their directors (after all, it is not like all their 1000’s of comic-books have been tightly linked together in the past). Anyway, beside this point, it was still a really cool super-hero flick, no doubt about it. In fact, it will probably be a milestone in motion picture history as being the first major black blockbuster ever made, not less than that. Indeed, Ryan Googler delivered a gorgeous movie with a fascinating fantasy African world. On top of that, they gave us an all-star black cast and 2 of the best bad guys in the MCU history (Erik Killmonger and Ulysses Klaue). In fact, I wonder if it wouldn’t have been better to focus only on one of these guys but it wasn’t a big deal. Anyway, to conclude, even though it might be slightly overrated, it is still impressive that Marvel keeps delivering some quality blockbusters after all these years and the damned thing is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
