This is the best Marvel movie so far. Which is not saying much, I'll admit, but still. As you can expect from Marvel, the scenario in its broad lines is predictable and mostly uninteresting. What makes this movie is a combination of strong characters (especially female) and a really interesting African fantasy. I've always felt that there was more than enough material in African myth and culture for such a fantasy, and Marvel delivered here. In particular the urban vistas of Wakanda are stunning, with a great use of sub-saharan motifs and architecture modernized the way CGI designers know how to do it. The trained armored rhinos was a bit too much for me, but apart from that it was a really enjoyable movie. In summary don't expect anything other than a superhero movie, with all that entails, but as far as that goes, it's definitely one of the best if not the best so far.
