It completely does away with a lot of the tropes that homogenize most Marvel films, the villain is excellent and well layered, the female characters are there to be more than the Hero's girlfriend and/or a damsel in distress and Black Panther himself is a refreshing change from the sarcastic 'witty' one liners machines that most Marvel heroes are. I loved the fact that this film had a real message to it as well, the only bad part of the film for me was Martin Freeman's character who, like in Civil War, was completely pointless here and only served to ease the suits and certain closed minded white people's concerns about an all black superhero film.
It's a 9/10 otherwise.

I dunno, I feel like with it being quite different to the other films they also probably felt the need to include a "thread" linking Black Panther back to the wider MCU... given that he's going to be in Infinity War pretty soon. Though based on what I remember of the trailer for that, it seems like Cap is hiding in Wakanda somewhere? And we know that Winter Soldier is there in stasis. But still, they were probably trying to fit in little connections.

If you pause it at just the right second, it says "bugger off Alf this film is for young, hip people not you".
