‘Black Panther’ Is Groundbreaking, but It’s Shuri Who Could Change the World (fivethirtyeight.com)

I found the studies showing the impact that movies actually have a significant impact on career choice to be interesting.

I never thought the effect would be that large.

As a means to break down racial barriers and increase representation the movie nails it. As a movie, just a movie though? It’s just fine, very Marvel, very predictable, but not bad. The acting and cast are fantastic, it has a killer soundtrack, and the action is solid. The plot is basically something you could follow in your sleep though, which has been an issue with MCU for a while.

It might change the world, but that doesn’t make it s great movie, sadly.
