How do you evaluate the movie "Black Panther"?

After watching Black Panther, I was slightly disappointed with this "Marvel's Best", which was my first feeling after watching "Black Panther". Of course, this is not to say that this film is bad. Including, I don't think this film is bad. Or, just a little disappointed. After all, before watching the movie, I still had very high expectations. The main reason is that the film's performance after its release in the United States was really good, not only in terms of box office success, but also in terms of media evaluation.

Another reason why I am looking forward to it is the director of the film, Ryan Coogler. Coogler was originally one of my favorite directors. He can be said to be one of the young directors in Hollywood who have been focusing on and filming racial themes, and his previous works have also maintained a relatively good standard. "Fruitvale Station," his debut feature film, focuses on the incident of a black civilian being shot dead by the police. He uses very documentary language to tell a shocking and even outrageous real-life story, and the spearhead also points sharply at the United States. racial issues.

His second feature film later, "Creed", the sequel to "Rocky", although it is a conventional sports inspirational film, this film also incorporates thinking about black identity, and One of the long shots of boxing in one shot is quite surprising. In short, it is not difficult to see some authorial labels in the director's previous works, which shows that he still has certain ambitions and ideas. In "Black Panther," Coogler was still trying his own authorial thinking, and even brought some interesting things to the movie.

The whole story still continues the traditional pattern of failure-growth-rise of the protagonist, and still gives people the sense of a routine that can be seen through the plot all the way. But it must be admitted that the film is a very rare attempt for the entire Hollywood film industry. The budget of this movie is 200 million US dollars. Before this, a Hollywood studio has never spent such a large amount of money to shoot a black movie, not to mention that Black Panther still has no fan base in the Marvel Cinematic Universe over the years. of newcomers.

After the film became a hit at the box office, "Rolling Stone" magazine published an article specifically mentioning that "Black Panther" revolutionized today's black culture, and to a certain extent, the film did it This. Because with such a large amount of investment and relying on the global popularity of superheroes, "Black Panther" has broken through the scope of previous black movies, and its influence is aimed at all races.

Overall, "Black Panther" has its own highlights and depth, and it also tries to achieve some different content in the largest space. But at the same time, I always feel a little regretful. If the film can get rid of the constraints of the usual routines and models of superhero movies, it may be able to achieve better and more authorial expression. As a prequel to "Avengers 3", "Black Panther" is undoubtedly a success.
