Another Marvel superhero outing, but with a bit of a twist. The superhero comes from a highly technologically advanced, but hidden, country in the African continent.There's a curiously stilted feel to the production at times - and the bright lighting drains it of atmosphere and gives it the feel of an 80s TV show. Boseman as the titular lead lacks charisma. I'd have much rather have seen Jordan who plays his rival in his place. Nyong'o and Wright provide good support.
On the plus side, costume and set design is excellent. I particularly liked the Maasai inspired all-women special forces. It also deals with themes of inclusion, historical injustice and imperialism intelligently.
