Say his name
I was a bit surprised when I saw Jordan Peele name roll up at the start as a producer and writer for this and it has his hallmark all over it. I loved @Get Out (2017) but you don't expect a strong political message about racism and racial injustice in a Candyman film. Sadly its so prominent that it dominates the story too much.
Working as a sequel to the original it starts OK with some nice back story and scenes about the original told by shadow animation. Although really lacking in the horror department. The film looks good and stylish but it is the wrong vehicle for the message being thrown at you.

The last time we saw Black Panther was in Captain America: Civil War, when we were introduced to the character and now we finally have the character-based movie that brings us more about the new King of Wakanda and his families history, we also get to see Wakanda and it is pretty stunning in RealD 3D.

It seems that Marvel has certainly found the key to making superhero movies that just look so great and Black Panther is no exception to their continued success, the movie looks great, it has a superb cast, the soundtrack is superb and the action is all in the places it needs to be, oh and the 3D is done in such a way that it has depth without any of those in your face moments.
