Hi JFK,
I saw it, and liked it. I didn't love it. As far as Marvel movies go, this one isn't my favourite movie. (Nothing beats "The Winter Soldier" in my mind).
When I saw it, it received a standing ovation. Really!
But I have to admit that I don't understand why some people loved this movie. To me, it's about as good as Spiderman, which is "ok" in my opinion too. And the Black Panther story is also really close to the story in Thor Ragnarok. I think I need to watch it again. I didn't like "Captain America: The first avenger" when I saw it the first time, but it really grew on me when I wantched it a 2nd and 3rd time. Now I think it's one of the best in the series.
However that aside, it's an important movie in the MCU because in Avengers:Civil War, Bucky freezes himself because he can't trust that he can't be re-activated by Hydra. But in the end you see it was frozen in Wackanda. Then at the end of Black Panther, you see he is thawed out, and has a new arm. ooOOooo.... this of course is a part of a setup for Avengers: Infinity War, coming out May 8th.
(Yes, I have Infinity War in My iCal. Can't fucking wait. The movie is said to cost almost $1B to make and have something like 72 MCU characters in it. WOW.
