Black Panther has aged beautifully. I truly rank it among the Top 10 movies in the entire universe.
I really enjoyed Black Panther when it first came out and I think it’s only gotten better with time.
Killmonger continues to be one of my favorite villains of the entire universe. I always enjoy “bad” characters with noble intentions and well developed backgrounds, because despite them bringing harm and destruction, they aren’t just plainly evil in a black-and-white way. Even if the way he went about it was wrong and unjustifiable, Killmonger genuinely did want to help oppressed people and support their fight.
I loved the action scenes in this movie, especially with Killmonger and Mbaku. The types of weapons used and the combat style looked so cool on screen.
The set designs were also so well done, I thought. The advanced technology mixed into the entire environment and wardrobes was unique and beautiful to look at.
All of the actors and actresses killed their parts. Obviously Chadwick Boseman (RIP) and Michael B Jordan were perfect casts as Black Panther and Killmonger but Nakia, Shuri, Mbaku and Zuri also stood out to me among a bunch of other stars.
I thought the story was also executed in a great way and I specifically enjoyed T’Challa having to reconcile with the past and his dad’s choices, along with the efforts towards isolationism and not helping out neighbors. It’s really impactful and I thought the conclusion they came to at the end when it comes to helping others felt real and not forced.
Overall I think this film has aged beautifully (can’t believe it’s already been almost 8 years) and it’s one of my favorite pieces of work Marvel put out!

It's a shame the sequel doesn't match that energy, but considering Boseman's death, they worked with what they could (and I do like that they gave him a proper sendoff instead of just replacing him, it adds some heart to what was obviously a difficult production).
Some of the CGI is poor and the museum scene just looked cheap for some reason so yeah it wouldn't make it into my top 10.
10/10 villian.
I don’t personally why everyone loves Killmonger as a villain either. He isn’t morally grey or well meaning. He wanted to murder countless people and just commit atrocities in the name of revenge and bitterness. It’s him more than anything else that puts me off the film.
You won’t find a sane activist or racial advocate that wouldn’t immediately condemn him as a madman.
He enjoyed killed people. He enjoyed killing innocent people and reveled in it, and wanted to kill many many more. There is nothing grey about that. There is no noble intentions or justice in his actions.
But please, do explain how he is right or justified, and not a villain.
Culturally, its the best movie in the MCU.
