People are going crazy for this recently emancipated American superhero film that won the hearts millions: Black Panther.

The movie starts with a backstory of five African tribes fighting over a mysterious rock that came from space, containing vibranium. After a long war, still ongoing, a warrior decided to put an end to this madness of a war so he ingested a “heart-shaped herb” that was affected by vibranium. The warrior gained superhuman abilities like acute senses, enhanced strength, speed, agility, stamina, durability, healing, and reflexes. This also gave him a connection with the Wakandan Panther God. After the warrior shows his powers, he became the first Black Panther and united the four tribes except one, the Jabari Tribe. The four tribes formed the nation, Wakanda. Over time, the Wakandans used the vibranium to advance their technology and isolate themselves from the rest of the world by posing as a Third World Country.

In 1992, King T’Chaka (Atandwa Kani) visits his undercover brother N’Jobu (Sterling K. Brown) in Oakland, California. T’Chaka accuses N’Jobu of assisting black market arms dealer Ulysses Klaue (Andy Serkis) with stealing vibranium from Wakanda. N’Jobu partner reveals himself, as Zuri (Denzel Whitaker), another undercover Wakandan, and confirms T’Chaka suspicions.

In the present day, following T’Chaka’s (John Kani) death at the hands of Helmut Zemo (Daniel Brühl), his son T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) returns to Wakanda to assume the throne. He and Okoye (Danai Gurira), the leader of the Wakanda military, extract his ex-lover Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) from an undercover assignment so she can attend his coronation ceremony, along with his mother Ramonda (Angela Bassett) and younger sister Shuri (Letitia Wright). At the ceremony, the Jabari Tribe’s leader M’Baku challenges T’Challa for the crown in ritual combat. T’Challa defeats M’Baku and convinces him to surrender rather than die.

After T’Challa hearing about Klaue and Erik Stevens steal a Wakandan artifact from a museum, W’Kabi, T’Challa’s friend, and Okoye’s lover urges him to bring Klaue back dead or alive. T’Challa, Okoye, and Nakia travel to Busan, South Korea where Klaue plans to sell the artifact to CIA agent Everett K. Ross. A huge brawl breaks out and because of it, Klaue attempts to flee but is caught by T’Challa, who reluctantly releases him to Ross‘ custody. Klaue tells Ross that Wakanda’s international image is just a front for a technologically advanced civilization, before Erik attacks and extracts Klaue. Later in the film, Erik Stevens announces himself as someone from Wakanda, and he wants to take everything from the T’Challa and take over the throne and will doing anything to do so even killing a lot of people.

The director of the film is Ryan Coogler who did an amazing job with the film. It’s already broken box office records just in three days and earning more money than Stars Wars: The Force Awakens, Justice League, Spider-Man: Homecoming and other movies. Huffington Post said that it is the new record holder for the largest February opening weekend and it’s the fifth-largest of all time meaning being fifth of top box office records. The cast is amazing in the film, the reason how good they did in the movie because they melted into their character like Chadwick Boseman who was in Marshall, Message from the King, Captain America: Civil War, Gods of Egypt and many more but Chadwick Boseman and the other actors and actresses made this movie a must see and it was powerful movie because it had a good powerful message/movement for women and African Americans and funny scenes.

Black Panther is out now and you will be getting your money worth of this recent Marvel movie because of the good scenes, the thrill and the hilarious scenes.
