Best Picture? Not so much.
I agree completely. I happily went and handed over the money to Disney and the Cinema. I did not feel ripped off. But, I havent watched it again. Not because they are black, but because I thought the story and characters were meh.
One of the things about the superhero movies is that there is often a moment or two where it is clear they are not being as serious. Not so in Black Panther. If I was saving the world, I am sure there would be a laugh or two.
Best Picture? Not even close.
It was a good movie better than most. But hardly the type of movie the academy normally would nominate.
It got an affirmative action boost.
