Phenomenal movie. It was serious and touching without being preachy, entertaining without being needlessly filled with pointless action sequences. I cared for all the characters, even the bad guys. Visually amazing. Great performances all around. I especially want to single out Andy Serkis. He gets so much credit for his motion capture work but he’s been amazing as Klaue in his appearances in the MCU.
Huge props to Coogler and the writers for how they handled race, colonialism, poverty, war etc. Didn’t gloss over it or ignore it. Faced it head on and did a masterful job of it. As a Canadian 30 something white male i was impressed. I can understand why this movie is being so well received in black communities. I heard places like Atlanta had record numbers of screenings this weekend.
I praise quite a few of the marvel movies but this might be the best yet.
