BLACK PANTHER (2018)
Featuring: Chadwick Boseman; Michael B Jordan; Forest Whitaker
Director: Ryan Coogler
The Black Panther character made its big screen debut in Captain America: Civil War (2016). There we meet prince T'Challa for the first time when his father, the king of mystical land Wakanda, is killed in a bomb blast at the United Nations. This movie picks up the story from there.
Back in his own country, the prince (Chadwick Boseman) must face the challenge of the other tribe leaders in order for him to ascend to the slain king's throne. However, once he finally succeeds and is crowned as the new king, he has to face a new challenge from a most unexpected and dangerous source. This time it is a foreigner, aptly named Erik Killmonger, who claims to be from noble Wakandan blood himself.
Overall, this is a good film in all aspects and well worth all the accolades heaped on it by critics and audiences alike. Only one thing bugs me. And that is the obsession of comic book stories of late with resurrection. First there was Superman in Justice League (2017) and now that of the Black Panther in this movie. Gee wiz, can't they come up with something a little more original?
Be that as it may, I still rate this one at 3 out of 5 stars.

It must not have been easy to act in this suit...
