Black Panther Movie Review TITLE

Recently, I watched the Black Panther movie on Netflix. It is a superhero movie INTRODUCTION
based on a comic book. The blockbuster movie is about T’Challa, a young king of
an African Country who possess great superpowers which is known as Black
Panther.
Initially, the plot starts when T’Challa who, after the death of his father, the DESCRIPTION
King who of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced (PLOT)
African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But
when a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king and Black
Panther is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of
Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the
young king rallies his allies and release the full power of Black Panther. The plot
reached climax when he finally defeats his foes and secures the safety of his
people and their way of life.
Additionally, the thing I like best about this movie is the fast-paced action. DISCUSSION
Car chases, explosions and combat scenes keep me glued to the screen. Another (LIKES)
positive aspect of this movie is the main character. He is a brave and responsible
leader who saves the world. He has incredible fighting skills which is natural. I will
rate his powerful acting skills as a 10/10.
However, the film contains a lot of violence. Some scenes are also very DISCUSSION
graphic which is not suitable for children to watch. Furthermore, the story is (DISLIKES)
about saving the world so why should so many lives be lost in the movie. In
addition, the costumes should be improved. For instance, the costumes of the
hero and the villain look almost the same.
All in all, Black Panther is entertaining to watch with fast-paced action and RECOMMENDATION
marvelous characters which is bound to be a box-office hit. Although it has
violence but not more than most other superhero movie. I would highly
recommend this movie to my friends and family. It’s a must-watch!
