Black Panther

CHASE ***
In "Captain America: Civil War," we were introduced to two new characters that made me want to see their individual movies.  While I don't think it's as good as "Spiderman: Homecoming," "Black Panther" it pretty solid.  Taking place in the fictional land of Wakanda, T'Challa (the Black Panther) becomes the new king while some villains arise that could potentially tear the country apart and it is up to Black Panther and his crew to stop them.  The best part of the movie is the dichotomy between the main hero and the main villain.  T'Challa is a cool character that has a strong sense of dignity and heroism that make him very likable.  The main villain reminds me of someone that would come out of a Greek tragedy.  He's despicable, but I understand where he's coming from, making him more sympathetic than most villains.  The movie is also one of the more unique superhero films because it is not just about the hero, but features the people of Wakanda in a significant way, which makes it fresh.  However, the movie doesn't have the same kind of polish that other great Marvel movies have had.  Some of the humor is lacking and even some action scenes felt a little clunky.  It also felt a little slow in the beginning, but it did pick up and ultimately became a very enjoyable movie.  This is a cool movie and a good one to watch.
