Just saw it today. Was better than the typical Marvel film. Still kind of a slog to sit through, like all of them. Michael B. Jordan is usually good but was the least interesting performance. His character was supposed to be different from everyone but I thought it was awkwardly done. Daniel Kaluuya's character was a complete waste non-character who could've been cut from the movie with no loss. Boseman was fine, the main characters in these standalone Marvel films are all milquetoast, cardboard cut outs. He was fine. The leader of the Jabari tribe was funny. Female actors on average were pretty good. The use of Martin Freeman's character as the 'token' white guy was one of the more clever ideas the film had. The messaging and subtext was painted with a broad brush but at least it was trying to say something, which is more than, say, Ant Man or whatever the fuck. The fact that Killmonger's whole ideology and the fact he did win the throne(argument) for a hot minute exists in a Marvel film is pretty cool.

The entirely white crowd in the Fargo theater did not fully appreciate the colonizer remarks.
