My son, 14 next week, usually has no interest in superhero movies. He saw this today and said it was terrific!

I saw Black Panther on Friday and thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I am not a fan of all super hero movies but some of them are well done and a fun movie ride - this was one of the good ones in my opinion.
While the vast, vast majority of super heroes movies made in the USA feature white stars (well, actually almost every one of them), this one featured a black super hero. Seemed to me it was about time. Apparently it is good business, too, as the movie has already done $192 million in the USA and is projected to do $216 by the end of this holiday weekend here. Worldwide the movie is projected to do $361 million total this weekend.
The movie had great special effects and wonderful settings - the action scenes in Seoul were incredible and alone worth the price of admission.
In the end, the message of the movie was hopeful. It was a fun 2 hours and 15 minutes.
I thoroughly enjoyed the movie yesterday with my family. I thought the set and costume design was better than anything I have seen. True artistry here especially since it accomplishes its job of supporting the film's premise.
Diving into geek territory this film and the purchase of FOX Studios (X-Men) by Disney has me very excited. Vibranium has been mentioned in Disney/Marvel movies as the strongest metal in comic book land, there are two. Vibranium has the energy absorbing and release properties and Adamantium (Wolverine's skeleton and claws) is the hardest material. Cap's shield has an Adamantium rim AND a vibranium surface. This is just one area where the separation of the two universes based on split rights can get fixed. Moving down the line, the purchase opens up the possibility of T'chala getting with his comic book wife, Ororo aka Storm, played in the first 3 X-Men films by Halle Berry.
Best of all, the purchase can finally sweep aside the very poor attempt to replace all things mutant with the In-human, Terigen mist arcs so disastrous in Agents of Shield and the super flop In-human movie turned series.
Back to Black Panther, I can see now how his character and his country will be of great import come Infinity Wars. It's too bad that the purchase came late because Professor Xavier and Reed Richards (both Fox characters) were key in the comic book story where they joined Strange and Stark as the blokes with the Earth's greatest minds.

My gf and I did not like this at all. Hollywood movies have been getting much worse than even Bollywood recently.
Time to try to catch some foreign language films
