Black Panther - Movie Review

As a family we recently watched Black Panther and loved it! It was nominated for 7 Oscars and won 3 of them and they were all well-earned. As with all superhero and supernatural movies, one has to set aside the incorrect science to enjoy the movie. Obviously people don't have superpowers. Set that aside, and you have a very enjoyable movie.

Black Panther follows the life of T'Challa and the technologically advanced kingdom of Wakanda. After the death of his father, T'Challa is the heir to the kingdom. Although Wakanda is not unknown in the world, their technology is an unknown as Wakanda keeps it hidden. Some in Wakanda desperately seek to keep their technology unknown while others want to use their tech to help the world. This creates a deep divide among members of the community and conflict is inevitable. 

In addition, Black Panther consists of an almost entirely black cast, a very welcome change from the far too white and and far too male cast of heroes seen in most movies.

As I stated above, my kids loved the movie and we are now on a quest to watch all Marvel movies, a long list that keeps growing!

The link above takes you to a Wikipedia list of all Marvel movies. It's quite the list and grows by two, three, and sometimes four movies a year! We've got our work cut out for us, even more so now that we've started watching some of the movies from the DC universe!
