After the events of Captain America: Civil War, King T'Challa returns home to the reclusive, technologically advanced African nation of Wakanda to serve as his country's new leader. However, T'Challa soon finds that he is challenged for the throne from factions within his own country. When two foes conspire to destroy Wakanda, the hero known as Black Panther must team up with C.I.A. agent Everett K. Ross and members of the Dora Milaje, Wakanadan special forces, to prevent Wakanda from being dragged into a world war.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

On Monday, the cast and filmmakers of Marvel Studios' Black Panther debuted their film at a lavish red carpet premiere in Los Angeles, while preview audiences in LA and New York got the first look at one of the buzziest movies of 2018. The response has been nothing short of ecstatic, elevating what was already one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year to a level of breathlessness enjoyed only by movies with Star and Wars in their titles.
How breathless? On Wednesday, Fandango announced that advanced ticket sales for Black Panther are currently outpacing every other superhero movie on record. On Tuesday and Wednesday morning, the film was site's top seller, two weeks in advance of its Feb. 16 debut.

Just got home from the movie... loved it! Humor, bad a$$ chicks, great fight scenes, beautiful visuals, great acting, and good story. It’s one to watch again. My favorite part was the first post-credit scene (there are two), best laugh was when he brought a CIA agent to his sister for medical treatment and her response was “Great, another broken white man to fix.” #nodtoBucky

Lil Science Dude's favorite line was "Nah, I'm just kidding, we're vegetarians." You'll chuckle when you see it.
I'm a little disappointed that there wasn't a trailer for Deadpool 2, I guess that was only for opening night.

Broke box office records. And you have to know there will now be a couple of sequels. Above average superhero movie with a deep plot that was straight forward with a great origin tale.
