Black Panther Is The MCU’s Most Socially-Aware Film To-Date

The film does have its setbacks; more could be done with the talents of Andy Serkis (Ulysses Klaue) and Angela Basset (Wakanda's Queen Mother, Ramonda). That being said Forest Whitaker (Zuri), Martin Freeman (Everett K. Ross) and Get Out star Daniel Kaluuya (W'Kabi) are all fine in their roles. The integration scene between Serkis and Freeman is pretty cool as it offers a nod to their scene in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

While the acting is near-perfect the action scenes - and there are quite a lot - are absolutely flawless, the car chase in South Korea is particularly exhilarating and one of the best looking in the collection of standalone MCU films.

Black Panther is one Marvel's most important films in terms of social awareness, while it provides an intelligent, thought-provoking and oft-times visceral commentary about heritage and tradition it's also accessible enough for a wide range of audiences to enjoy and embrace.

That being said I am really looking forward to seeing how they develop the story of T'Challa and the sprawling Mecca that is Wakanda in May's Avengers: Infinity War and further Black Panther sequels.

WAKANDA FOREVER!

Black Panther is out now in cinemas across the UK, and in the US from February 16.
