NEW THIS WEEK
One of the year’s biggest movie’s finally comes home! Set in
the secluded African Utopia of Wakanda, Mravel’s latest, Black Panther picks up
after the events of Civil War, with T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) returning home to
accept the throne and become king. Unfortunately for him, Killmonger (Michael
B. Jordan), a mysterious mercenary with shadowy ties to his family’s past, arrives
and upsets the balance of Wakanda, testing T’Challa’s place as king — and as
Black Panther – in a conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire
world at risk. Brilliantly directed by Ryan Coogler (Creed), Black
Panther is the blockbuster of the year that you don’t want to miss.

We Said: “Black
Panther is a comic book movie like no other. All props to Blade,
the Marvel film franchise Wesley Snipes carried and laid the groundwork for a
lot of what we see today, but Black Panther is a completely
different animal that explores topics the genre has never scraped the surface
of. Colonialism, racial identity, technology vs. legacy, nativism, all of these
and more are tapped into by the brilliant, complex script by director and
co-writer Ryan Coogler (working with Joe Robert Cole). Some of these themes are
familiar to Coogler from his breakout drama Fruitvale Station, which
he then brought into the mainstream with Creed. Now on the biggest platform
of his career Coogler has set out to education and entertain, while staying
firmly, and sometimes frustratingly, within the Marvel framework.[…] Black
Panther proves that you can make a movie that is significant to the
black audience, and just a damn good superhero movie that everyone can enjoy.
Marvel has a new ruler on the throne. Long live the king!” Rating: 4 out of 5
