Reviews & comments
Flicks, Liam Maguren
flicksWith his regal demeanour, noble disposition, and unquestionable ability to kick an ass or 20, Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa proved himself worthy of the Black Panther suit in Captain America: Civil War. Had his solo film expanded on these three qualities, while delivering the necessary fights and funnies that define the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it would have made for a good film. Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther does much more.

In general you might say there are two ways to review a movie. In its cultural and historical context, and as a movie. Often it’s hard to disentangle the two. It can take years. Decades.

Yep yep yep another marvel masterpiece, they know how to entertain and delight. I mean it was 'avengers' universe I was so going to see this even if the reviews had been rubbish. It deserves every accolade it has gotten. Its so stunning just the sheer visual world of Wakanda is enticing. The male characters are all very fine but this is a film where the...

pressA giddily enjoyable, convention-bucking 134-minute epic that somehow manages to simultaneously be a comic-book blockbuster, a pulsating espionage thriller and an Afro-futurist family saga.
