these are the best and worst things about the new black panther movie alright everybody there will be mild spoilers for the film however if you saw the trailers you won't get any major surprises let's start off with the best things and number five is world building the Black Panther film is not limited to just what Conda the Black Panther is involved in events in several places around the world during the film this plays into a larger theme we'll talk about later the world is smaller and that's important back to Wakanda you've seen the imagery it looks unlike any other place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe but it still looks like it fits in number four awesome action scenes okay so it's a superhero movie there has to be action black panther manages to have some action scenes we've never seen before in Marvel films and for things like a car chase there are enough variants in this movie that make it stand out coming in at number three is a good balance of comedy there are a couple of characters who make wisecracks and they are very funny however a lot of humor comes from the situations so instead of getting a bunch of characters cracking jokes inappropriately you get to watch the characters react naturally to a ridiculous situation that makes you laugh out loud number two strong characters the performances by all the actors and the dialogue create incredibly strong characters one of the major gripes about Marvel movies is the lack of a great villain well Black Panther has a great villain Michael B Jordan is excellent in his role meanwhile each major character is fleshed out in a way that lets you understand their motivations minor spoiler ahead even Stan Lee's cameo feels more natural before we get to number 1 let's talk about the worst things about Black Panther these are quibbles so bear with me Black Panther does fall into that Marvel movie formula at times while it pushes what a Marvel movie is it is a tad safe I have more to say about this but I don't want to spoil anything major also you'd expect a Black Panther character to have some difficulties when facing rivals however with Black Panther already making appearances in the Avengers trailers it's hard to have a real sense of concern for the character you kind of watch the movie and wonder how they get them out of that the action may be exciting but stakes are low for the main character and lastly like a lot of movies there are some really helpful coincidences at times if these sound like nitpicks they are it's a solid film overall and the best thing about the Black Panther movie is the story when it comes down to it the Black Panther is about two chala learning how to be a king to his nation he also struggled with what obligations Wakanda has to its citizens on top of that there's the question of what Wakanda owes to the world as its technologies are extremely advanced as the world gets smaller these are serious themes to handle black panther manages to talk about these issues while still staying true to the Marvel movie mold what did you like or dislike over the Black Panther movie where do you think this movie ranks compared to all the other Marvel movies let us know in the comments Twitter wherever Amaya's after annal see you online
