MARVEL's Lit Panther

Such is the attraction of a black lead in a Marvel movie, that I broke my rule again and went to the movies to catch Black Panther!

We had previously seen T'Challa in Civil War, where his father died. His Solo outing picks up exactly from there onwards. We see T'Challa return to Wakanda and being crowned the new King. Black Panther using realistic issues to stand out from the slew of Superhero movies. The main conflict, between our hero and the antagonist Kill Monger, is their ideology. Kill Monger wants to use Wakanda's resources to help other black people. While T'Challa wants to continue living in hiding.

Kill Monger's ideology is what makes the movie interesting, you feel for him. Because, of his reasoning, which seems just. However, the way he wants to execute his plans is what makes him the antagonist. Micahel B Jordan is killer and Andrew Serkis provides icing on the cake as Claws

The movie features an all-black cast. And the audience seems to mind that. People kept on shouting about the fact until the action began! The action scenes shut them up pretty nice!

The premise of the Black Panther movie is quite simple, T'Challa wants to be the king and Kill Monger does not want that to happen. It is the characters and the acting of the actors, who elevate this movie. Add to that the killer background scores! The female cast of the movie was also given significant screen time. T'Challa's sister as the geek stood out! She was a modern-day teenager and was really funny!

All in all, Black Panther is another strong movie from the Marvel empire and is an excellent teaser for the upcoming Infinite Wars!

Birds of Prey: Feminism done right

While the world is at a standstill due to the Novel CoronaVirus, I finally got time to return to watching movies and series. The first movie I saw? Birds of Prey and how I regret missing out on this in the cinemas. The movie is great! It is a self-aware, fourth-wall-breaking joy ride. It paints a new picture of Gotham city from the perspective of Harley Quinn and I love this vibrant new Gotham! The movie kicks off with our protagonist Harley, who has recently broken up with the Joker. She is trying to get by all alone and prove herself to the world. The plot of the movie revolves around Bertinelli's fortune, the key to which is in a diamond. Roman Stonis aka The Black Mask is behind the killing of the Bertinelli's’ and now wants their fortune. He hires Harley to recover the diamond and viola! We have ourselves a popcorn crunching, the edge of your seat, jaw-dropping female-led action movie! All the characters were spot on, be it Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn or my second fa...

Spiderman: Homerun

The third reboot of the Spiderman franchise is old news. So is the fact that it was a huge success, but I only got to watch it tonight, Now that I am done watching it, I am going to talk about it. Spiderman homecoming is a good movie. It has a simple story, stellar cast and a director who knows what he is doing. At its core, Spiderman homecoming is a simple coming of age teen flick. And that is what makes Homecoming so good! The movie has very little faults, so let’s get them out of the way first. It lacked action and the soundtrack was average. Done these are my gripes with the movie. Now let’s talk about the good stuff. The movie really fleshes out the characters . Supporting characters like Ned get a lot more screen time then they did on Spiderman’s last outing. Tom Holland is perfectly cast as the web-slinger and for me, he rivals Toby for the best Actor to portray Spidey! For the first time, Spiderman is an actual teen! He has school to deal with and his aunt is not hi...
