![]() Danai Gurira was another great addition to the film, bringing this amazing women power feel. Although she was nothing more than a plot device, she was a really nice addition, bringing some fun laughs, and great wit to the film. With Letitia Wright as Shuri, having the best chemistry with Boseman, she was one of the most entertaining characters, the film had to offer. With how his character is written aside, Boseman puts on a really good performance as T'Chala/Black Panther, fitting the Avengers like a glove. His character development was very predictable, and fast paced, by the end of the film, it doesn't really feel like we know that much more about him. He has more than enough to do, but he doesn't do much at all, until the final act. Chadwick Boseman is a fine protagonist, that's easy to root for, due to his backstory, with a great heart and wits, but he can get kind of boring and bland at times. One of the biggest issues of the film, is that the Coogler and Cole did their best to make everyone equally important, but it doesn't carry much weight, because you lose a lot of the value in the main characters, that we should be worried about, so when it comes to a high stakes moment, that feeling gets somewhat diminished. All of the characters were really fun, bringing all their A-games to the big screen, but the creative team had a tough time trying to balance everyone. Sarah Finn had her hands full, again, by casting this wonderful group of talent. With the pace being one of the couple downfalls of the film, it brought the twist aspect of the film drastically downward, considering it was presented very sloppy and forceful. With just a couple of scene swaps, I feel like this film would've already been that much better. The way that Ryan Coogler structured and placed the scenes, just didn't flow right, having a real choppy pace, making it feel like two different films, on some occasions. The issue with the premise Yeah, it may have had a few enjoyable moments, and interesting ideas, but it felt exactly like The Lion King, just in a superhero format. Coogler utilized this huge cultural aspect, that worked well with the film's premise, while not jamming it down your throat, every opportunity they got. He made this more of a stand-alone film, but he tied in some nice, subtle references from the saga. With Ryan Coogler being one of the best up and coming directors in the game, he didn't really impress me here, but he still kept that Marvel vibe going, while adding in a lot of his own spices, sprinkled throughout the film. Coogler and the creative team set themselves up for a lot of clear nitpicks, due to the predictability, extra dose of plot armor, and a decent amount of plot gaps and filler. RIP Chadwick Boseman - WAKANDA FOREVER! Okay, I LIKE BLACK PANTHER I've seen it more than a handful of times, but this film is not perfect, by any meaning of the word! The hype around this film, almost gave it an impenetrable force-field for negativity.
