News:: Review: Black Panther

The fact of the matter is you don't see movies like Black Panther made. I'm not talking about the groundbreaking facts you already know about the movie: it's almost entirely black cast, with an almost entirely black creative team leading, given the budget of a film that usually reserved for movies with predominantly white casts, directed by predominantly white men. You know that, and if you don't, guess what: Black Panther is a black movie. Shock! Awe!

A million people far more qualified than me, are going to talk about how important this film is in that way. No, I'm talking about a different way in which Black Panther is a movie you don't see made that often. It's an MCU movie that stands on its own in almost every way. The film doesn't need the MCU to bolster it up, and it completely ignores it (except for the obligatory stinger at the end). Not since Ant-Man has a Marvel film actually been about the hero in the title, but Black Panther is and it makes it all the better.
