There’s a lot of people who want Ready Player One to be an awful movie.
Black Panther
Black Panther on a surface read is a nearly flawless film. The style and storytelling are refined and focused. The pacing is crisp. The humor is balanced. The story is grounded in the archetypes well known to most familiar with stories, yet this time its told by a new story teller, thus giving it a fresh and welcomed perspective. It has a diverse cast and important roles go to people who don’t traditionally get them, and the acting and characters the portray are great. And this story that it tells is told in a way that is complex is enough that it can be spoken of as having both a surface and deeper readings. Unfortunately, any the problems that the film have began to be apparent below the surface.
