I Didn't Expect This From Marvel

I had no plans of watching this Marvel movie until it gets a nomination at the Golden Globes. I must say that it was not as brilliant as everyone would say it was, and when I say "everyone" I meant the Marvel fans. I am not a Marvel, of all its movies, only Thor got my interest. But I should say that this film actually makes sense. Its fictional world is not far from the reality that actually needed attentions. I like how it deviates (to some extent) from the usual action-fantasy films by the Marvel studios. It introduced characters that could stand individually. I even liked the villain (Michael B. Jordan's character) which is something that I like in movies, villains have reasonable explanation of why they do what they do. Cinematic speaking, there are rooms for improvement. I liked the production design but I wish the editing was smoother. Overall cinematography is just fine. The direction was decent but what was really off for me was when the Wakandas are pumping their chest before the Challenge for kingship (Daniel Kaluuya looks like he is not an academy award nominee on those scenes).
