Looking for a movie experience that will have you buying your second ticket before it is over? Check. Ready for a movie that will make you think and damn near cry over a villain? Double Check. Black Panther exceeds all expectations in this beautifully created film from the visions of Marvel Comics, Ryan Coogler, Nate Moore, Ruth E. Carter, and a slew of other talents. I cannot talk about this film without talking about the connection and love story of family and community. Black Panther covers an array of topics in the film from technology and how it is used to why no one should be left behind in the community. All of this is done through a near 2-hour experience of visual and special effects that will keep you literally in Wakanda, forever. Or at least yearning to go back and visit.
