How empowering to show blacks as incompetent and unable to built an advanced civilization without magical material from space! And they are also riding rhinos and fighting with spears because it´s such an african thing to do! The CGI is awful. The bratty sister of the main character is just a rotten sherry on this sh***y cake.

The movie has many problems. The character of Tchalla´s teenage sister is annoying Mary Sue who is a tech genius but acts like a totally irresponsible silly teenager. Okoye is unlikable "strong woman" who behaves like a sociopath. Tchalla himself is quite boring and doesn´t really move the plot forward, the plot rather moves him. CGI is often bad.
The biggest problem is how openly racist the Wakanda people are. Mary Sue calls a white guy a colonist. Wakanda is closed and they have never helped anyone in the world but they think they can moralize with insults like this. They have the magical all-problems-solving vibranium but they did nothing to prevent the slave trade. Also it´s simplified to "whites bad, blacks poor victims", while in fact the black people captured other black people and sold them to the white slave traders.
Tchalla´s final anti-racist speech about unity is put in the middle of the final credits. Obviously for purpose. Less people will see the only part with a good message.
If the races were reversed and the dialogues would stay the same, there would be riots. Wait, there ARE riots. And this movie just encourages them. It could be executed much better and the message could be against racism but it is done poorly and it´s obviously done this way for a purpose.
If you want to see real anti-racist movie with main black hero, watch Django Unchained.

I loved this movie! It's originality, costumes, story plot as well as the superb characters and cast were all outstanding! Captured my interest from being to end!

The problems with marvel b-characters are the lack of memorable villains. For all the gadgetry and technology, black panther is actually a "TEAM" hero with his bodyguard(s) and family. Very polarizing. Either you like or not. I wish I did but I didn't.
