*In-Depth Review*
The film opens up EXACTLY like Wonder Woman
a 3D rendition narration about the past and the Kings, vibranium, Bast and past Panthers, it was cool but yeaaah. Dianna Prince out here influencing Wakanda
*Story*
Pros:
*Visually it was BEAUTIFUL seeing an advanced African nation brought to life, the music and attire almost brought tears to my eyes
*Erics arc stood out to me the most, you could feel his pain and his reasons didnt actually make him a villain cause technically he had a RIGHT to the throne and his hatred was validated from what happened in the past
*The Dora Milaje's were FUCCIN AWESOME.. MY GAWWWWD they were fierce and a force to be reckoned with, Okoye held the fuccin shyt DOWN !!! she was on point from start to finish, Ayo didnt get much role to play but she was dope when she was on screen.
*Klaue and Ross didnt take any shine from the flick, they played their role well and Klaue was a very good advancing plot to the film, loved his accent
*The ancestral plane was beautiful to look at, seeing the panther transform into his dad and give him words of wisdom was beautiful
*The first and second ritual fight scenes were WOW... JUST WOW, Killmonger throwing T'Challa off the cliff was right from the comics, i loved it (he beat the fucc outta T'Challa yo looooool), and physically he was actually bigger, like damn my man bulked up nicely
*Ooooo, in the Royal court when Eric was brought in and they were questioning him, one of the court dude asks him who he was cause they didnt believe who he said he was... my gawwwwd the whole place went silent when he shouted out his family lineage in the zhosa language, i got chills maaaan, that was NICE !!!!
*Erics theme song was one of my highlights all throughout, it felt menacing
*M'Baku and his Jabari tribe were so dopeeeee, the noises they made loool and they were all huge like damn, these dudes could've been gorilla sizes lol
*Erics whole speech about black people and colonisers
*There were a LOT of racial undertones and everyone of them HIT HOME, from the Korean woman calling black people trouble, to M'Jobu saying Wakanda will view his son as lost, to T'Challa saying Wakanda doesn't need to help other black people outside the borders
*Erics speech and the emotions after beating T'Challa's ass
*T'CHALLA's RETURN
Cons:
*T'Challa was outshined in his own film, i didnt like it
*The CGI was fuccin appalling, in the 3rd act it looked like a PS2 game, im not even hating but even throughout the movie, the cgi was VERY telling
*Ramonda was just THERE, she didnt feel like a Queen mother from the comic who was always advising and keeping her son in line.
*W'kabi's arc wasn't really closed upon properly, mans was loyal and was hoping T'Challa killed Klaue cause K killed his fam, T'Challa didnt and when Eric did he switched sides mad easily, then during the mini internal beef we dont get told what happens to him
*Action scenes could've been FAR better, the first action scene in Nigeria happend in the dark and all we saw was quick cuts, then in all the other fight scenes it looked like they were pulling punches, basically there wasn't any Winter Soldier bridge level action and the DAMN WAS NOT any BvS warehouse scene type action, if this was mean to be the Marvel Batman-esque character, this film didnt do him any justice at all
*Technology*
Pros:
*The communication beads
*The scarf shields
fuccin
*The tear away suit tech
*The wifi remote tech controlling any vehicle
*The anti gravity vibranium trains
*Invinsible jet
Cons:
*The vibranium plated rhino armour looked
*The flat pad transforming into a sneaker
*The 3rd act fight
*portable hologram tv
*Jokes*
Pros:
*EVERY M'Baku joke was FUNNY AF !!! ''yawwwn, are you done ???, are you done ??'' ''i'll feed you to my children
, juss playing we're vegetarians
''
*Okoye saying the wig was uncomfortable and it was a disgrace for a woman not to wear her natural hair
*Eric telling the curator ''the way you people stole it
''
Cons:
*Shuri had some TERRIBLE jokes
''what are thoseeeeeeeeee'' ''i call them sneakers, because you know....''
Character Highlights: The characters who SHONE bright throughout the film in order:
1. OKOYE !!!!!!
2. Eric Killmonger
3. M'Baku
4. T'Challa
5. Bucky
Overall:
Its a good watching EXPERIENCE..
and all the critics saying it breaks the mould of marvel films, ermmm DUHHH. Its dealing with Africa, which has culture and pain and depth and history, something you damn unseasoned craccas dont, so of course you'll think so, I however didnt think it broke any mould.. it was superior in Depth and story telling, but was lacking in some parts..
LINE OF THE YEAR: ''
My people were smart enough to know jumping off the boats was better than being locked in bondage'' TEAR JERKER !!! WOW
7.5/10
