BLACK PANTHER

BLACK PANTHER:  This latest film superhero from the folks at Marvel comics takes the genre to a new level, not because the hero is black, but because it recaptures the essence of superheroes, who for the most part are mythical.  Starring Chadwick Boseman in the title roll with a wonderful supporting cast that includes Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong'o, Forest Whitaker and Angela Bassett, this movie is thrilling in it's beauty as well as the expected action sequences.  I will  admit it was a bit hard to follow at times because of flashbacks and not knowing who was who.  And the plot is full of teleportation, a metal that has mysterious  properties (like restoring life), some robotic rhinos who appear out of nowhere and a conflict between warring factions.   All in all, I enjoyed it and (after the credits as the end) we get set up for a sequel.  So, if this type of film is a must for you, you won't be disappointed.  And it's nice to have a predominately black cast is a genuine epic film.
