Overall: 14
Another solid addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Better than the 76% rotten tomato user rating. It felt like a Marvel Superhero version of the Lion King a couple of times, but it was entertaining. I like the Lion King.
Writing: 4 (Like)
The writing was decent, with a well thought through and delivered backstory. That said, I didn't see a major character arc happen for T'Challa or anyone else, leaving the overall story feeling a little soft. Also, the primary antagonist (though really well acted [see below]) felt a little one dimensional with unclear reasoning for his motivations.
Presentation: 5 (Strongly Like)
The visuals in the film were good--consistent with previous MCU films. As in previous movies, Boseman brings T'Challa to life. Also, Jordan was so good at Killmonger it seemed like he must actually be a bad person. He brought that character to life for me, even though there was limited depth and explanation of the character's thought process.
