It is unclear whether this is in remembrance of Boseman's passing. His version of Black Panther brought new audiences to the character and now Comixology has currently made dozens of Black Panther comics free to download. And the second post-credits scene is worth waiting for.The death of Chadwick Boseman, who played Black Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, shocked the world recently.Ī man who, throughout his Marvel career, was battling cancer but didn't let that stop him bringing Black Panther to the big screen, helping create one of the biggest movies of all time and a superhero for a new generation of fans. As for the usual Marvel elements, Stan Lee's cameo doesn't disappoint. The action sequences are exciting, but the camera work is a bit shaky in places. The visual effects, like most superhero movies, are impressive, but sometimes over-the-top. The production design and costume design carry bits and pieces of originality and uniqueness. Ludwig Gorannson's score cleverly mixes African beats with some orchestral pieces. This makes veteran actors such as Angela Bassett and Forest Whitaker have less screentime than people might have hoped for. There are a lot of characters to keep up with, however. Movie fans and 'Lord of the Rings'/'Hobbit' fans, may be excited to see Martin Freeman (reprising from 'Civil War') and Serkis together again in an interesting scene. Lupita N'yongo gives a memorable performance as the kind Nakia.

As for Boseman, he aptly provides the heart and soul of the strong but gentle-hearted character. Jordan gives an energetic performance that adds a layer or two more than what you might expect a villain to have. He's given interesting reasons behind taking over Wakanda.

Speaking of the villain, he's one of the most interesting villains Marvel's put together. There are several stabs at humor (not unusual for a Marvel flick), and thankfully the jokes are very good-natured and funny. Until then, we are entertained by a more minor villain named Ulysses Klaue (Andy Serkis). He doesn't really play a big part until close to an hour into the film. Perhaps the biggest is in how the villain is represented. 'Black Panther' follows some typical superhero plot points, but it does make a few changes along the way.
