And let's take a moment to appreciate that car chase. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed a car chase that much.

Hell I've always thought he'd be a great James Bond.

I kinda hated how the entire conflict centered around a government with a bad succession policy.  The bad guy had his big win through a loophole.

Its monarchy is no worse than Asgard's.

I'm happy to toss comic book politics/history into the same bin most of us place "comic book physics" . . . it's a nice tool to set up the premise for an entertaining story, but it falls apart fast if you look too closely and spot the unavoidable nonsense and contradictions.

In fact, plenty of media outlets take such things quite seriously and regularly accuse countless artworks of promoting all sorts of evil, including racial supremacy . . .  so it's more than a little amusing to see them line up to praise a movie about a sovereign country that is at once 100% racially homogeneous and viciously anti-immigration.  And those are the good guys.

And how the hell did T'Challa get a good enough look at the ring Killmonger was wearing anyway?

The herb drink probably gives him super senses in addition to strengh/speed.

This film is indeed a bomb, I certainly like the political tone and how relevant the women in this film is. Its the car chase seen that is so memorable, CGI can definitely be improved.

Yeah definitely some shonky CGI. Particularly the last fight with the 2 of them going at it.

I noticed that too. But I did like that we could still see what was going on, and tell who was who, even though they were both wearing black suits in a dark cave.

Can someone tell me if this movie is inundated with rap and/or hip-hop? I absolutely can't stand either one. I'll consider seeing it in the theater if I don't have to listen to any of that garbage.

I don't like rap either, and I didn't notice any.


Cyrusso

Yeah I don't recall even one second of rap music in the film myself either.
