MIX UP REVIEWS:
Jan (Age 12): ★★★★1/2
"Brilliant film! I really enjoyed watching it. T'challa and T'chaka were played perfectly. Most characters were great, but Klaue was weird. Killmonger was amazing, his personality was weird but it became clear in the end who he exactly was. Agent Ross was okay, Nakia was mid, Shuri was pretty good, and M'baku was kinda confusing, but he still was great.
I loved how wakanda was a hidden metropolis, how they hid themselves, and how reluctant they were to share all of their vibranium.
Overall, it was an amazing film, with few strange characters, and a brilliant superhero at the center of it all. Next I'm watching Avengers: infinity war."

There's plenty more sci-fi action in the MCU, meanwhile the director, Ryan Coogler teamed up with Michael B. Jordan previously with boxing drama, Creed. There's another tragic villain in The Empire Strikes Back and Inception provides more thoughtful but explosive action.
