Black Panther

Regrettably, my journey to Wakanda was via Snoozeville. Never thought I'd be saying this but I couldn't get over how much this film reminded me of the god awful Star Wars Ep.1 the Phantom Menace. Slow pace scene after slow pace scene of people sitting around in circles talking, standing around...talking...with nothing interesting actually going on. Then to top it off, for the final battle to keep cutting away from the main protagonist's action to the supporting characters' generic, CGI shoot-em-up (a la Obi Wan and Qui-Gon vs Darth Insidious). Marvel needs to revamp their formula from quick quips then big punch em up as I think this is the point where we've had our fill. Don't get me wrong, this is not a bad movie. If it had came out a few years ago it could have been considered great and enjoyable. But we've been so beaten over the head with Marvel it is the straw that breaks the armoured plated rhino's back. A mediocre 2.5/5.
