Caution; Spoiler Alert

T'Challa, the king of Wakanda, rises to the throne in the isolated, technologically advanced African nation, but his claim is challenged by a vengeful outsider who was a childhood victim of T'Challa's father's mistake



Staring;
Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa/Black Panther
Michael B Jordan as Krik Killmonger
Lupita Nyong'O as Nakia
Danai Gurira as Okoye
Martin Freeman as Everett K. Ross
Daniel Kaluuya as W'Kabi
Letitia Wright as Shuri
Winston Duke as M'Baku
Sterling K. Brown as N'Jobu
Angela Bassett as Ramonda
Forest Whitaker as Zuri


Storyline;
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, Wakandan special forces, to prevent Wakanda from being dragged into a world war.



Thoughts;
I am glad that I saw this movie, I wish I would have been able to watch it before the previous Avengers movie as it would have made much more sense.



This received strong good ratings and it was a good movie. There were just some parts that I had gotten lost at, I think it may have to do with some of the names of characters.



Since in the beginning there was so much, real world/wakanda swapping I am not sure exactly where everything started, but the characters were great and the action was awesome!



The CIA operative was also a character that really wasn't needed, it was a weird thing to have him in there.



The king of Wakanda is killed, his son is to take over the throne. There is a ceremony and people I guess can challenge him. Someone does and he wins. Then someone who says his is from Wakanda makes his way there and challenges for the crown, fights dirty and wins.



Soon, everyone thinks that T'Challa is dead but he really isn't, he was saved. Once he is healed with the help of his mother, sister and the CIA agent, he is able to take back Wakanda

Dr. Paul Kersey is an experienced trauma surgeon, a man who has spent his life saving lives. After an attack on his family, Paul embarks on his own mission for jusice.



Staring;
Bruce Willis as Paul Kersey
Vincent D'Onofrio as Frank Kersey
Elisabeth Shue as Lucy Kersey
Camila Morrone as Jordan Kersey
Dean Norris as Detective Kevin Raines
Kimberly Elise as Detective Leonore Jackson
Jack Kesy as The Fish
Beau Knapp as Knox



Storyline;
Dr. Paul Kersey (Bruce Willis) is a surgeon who only sees the aftermath of his city's violence as it's rushed into his ER -until his wife (Elisabeth Shue) and college-age daughter (Camila Morrone) are viciously attacked in their suburban home. With the police overloaded with crimes, Paul, burning for revenge, hunts for his family's assailants to deliver justice. As the anonymous slayings of criminals grabs the media's attention, the city wonders if this deadly avenger is a guardian angel...or a grim reaper. Fury and fate collide in the intense action-thriller Death Wish



Thoughts;
I had never heard of the original, I wasn't aware that this was a re-make.



Bruce Willis plus a shoot em' up movie usually is good and this movie did not disappoint. The plot was good. I wish Elisabeth Shue played a longer role, however it was still great!



The movie starts out a little slow, with Dr. Kersey at work, as a trauma surgeon. After a bit it cuts to the family eating dinner and Dr. Kersey paying the valet for his brother. He notices the tattoo on the valets arm and comments on it. When the valet then goes to get the Dr's car, you see him take a picture of the GPS showing where their home is.



Later Dr. Kersey is called into work and the daughter and wife set out to make a cake for Dr. Kersey's birthday. Lucy asked Jordan to get her Ipad from upstairs, she then notices a window open and is calling for her daughter to come down, of course teenagers don't listen and before you know it, a man comes out and brings her downstairs with a gun to her head. Lucy agrees to open the safe and give them whatever they want. While she is taken upstairs the other two are told to tie up Jordan. One lays his knife on the counter and goes to the garage for rope. The other man starts to get handsey and Jordan takes the knife and stabs him in the face, once he takes off his mask you know it's all over.



From here Dr. Kersey goes rogue when he figures out that the detectives aren't doing anything, or not enough. He seeks out his wife's killer.
