I thought it was quite excellent. Loved the story and the characters. Michael B Jordan should be a star. Great charisma and a great bad guy.
The only thing I would be negative about is it did the same old all out battle scene at the end. I get it, they have an audience to serve but that sort of climax is getting to feel played out.
I enjoyed the characters and story more than I did the battles. But the two battles for ‘King’ were great scenes.
Fun movie. Marvel Studios is just on a marvelous roll right now. What a machine [Reply]

Yeah. This movie had to have some social/political commentary in it. To leave it out would be to shit all over the character. I think they did a good job with that. [Reply]

Had hoped they could somehow keep him in the universe to use in infinity war
He was superb. Killmonger was definitely one of the best villain roles in the entire MCU films. Its too bad he had to die, but i understand why they did it. It was a reason for T'Challa to change his stance on his countries isolationism. Loved the wrap around story and the way they tied it together at the end in Oakland.
That line by Killmonger too " My ancestors knew it was better to die by jumping off the boats than live a life in chains" was great. I cant believe that made it into a Disney 4 quadrant movie. [Reply]
