REVIEW SUMMARY
"The hype surrounding Black Panther is real! This movie nails the casting, soundtrack, visual design and cultural world building -- just to name a few. Michael B. Jordan’s villainous character Killmonger is perhaps the MCU's best yet (yes, better than Loki). However, I will warn you not to go into this film expecting it be just like other Marvel superhero yarns. Black Panther is thematically very different in that the story is quite political and the action scenes are not the highlights. This movie is all about the characters and their respective arcs - and that's not a bad thing. And while it is light on humour (a far cry form Thor: Ragnarok's laugh a minute), Black Panther surely packs a mighty punch that deserves to be seen!"
