Black Panther, directed by Ryan Coogler, is one of the better MCU efforts. It's dramatically and thematically rich, fueled with an amazing screenplay, beautiful cinematography, polished direction and wonderful performances across the board -- especially Michael B. Jordan, whose Killmonger is arguably one of the best, most menacing and badass villains in an MCU film to date.
The final confrontation between T'Challa and Killmonger is arguably slightly underwhelming, as is the battle that surrounds it -- it feels very MCU, very run-of-the-mill. But still, this is an incredible film with a whole lot to love.
