Review:
Great characters, outstanding acting, wonderful soundtrack (those drums!) and emotional impact scores high with the feeling it gave me. They are the highlights of the movie. The story should have been in the same league of ten but regretfully have to ding it a point due to one or two slow scenes which could have been more interesting with better dialogue or perhaps conflict as all the other scenes. Production design could have been perfect as well but some CGI wasn't as tight as I'd like it to be at times and a bit distracting. The beautiful wardrobe spared it from losing another point from me. I'm still trying to take in some of the cinematography which I'm not sure I like yet or it could be genius work between Coogler & Morrison that I cannot quite process. It is unique which is what excites me though. Overall, this movie does not disappoint with its tight cast & crew, and a second viewing is definitely in order!
