Going through the reviews and recently-released full plot synopsis (which I won't link, don't worry), here's what to expect from Black Panther without going into spoiler territory. People love the representation of colored people in this movie, but in a different way: they actually love how it flips expectations of the world's perception of Africa, and uses Wakanda as an allegory for the world. On that note, people seem to really love the themes of this movie, which are about anti-isolationism. People also are giving high praises to the performances of Letitia Wright and Michael B. Jordan, the latter of whom happens to avoid Marvel's "villain problem". There are three negative reviews thus far on Rotten Tomatoes, but they all highlight one thing: there's a much greater focus on dialogue than action in this movie, and when there is action, it's not as well choreographed as we have come to expect (thanks, Russos). However, others have been giving these people flak for not understanding the purpose of the film, so I'm just going to see the movie and make up my mind from there.
