觀後感:
世人對非洲地區的感覺是落後貧困的,我們很少聽到別人會選擇地區內的國家作休閒度假的用途;筆者覺得這個地區十分神秘,一般報導只會放大當地人民苦不堪言的生活,裡面到底是否存在一些隱藏的秘聞?這齣電影融合漫畫中的虛擬情節,締造一個意想不到的先進國度,滿足觀眾對系列的預期。當年非洲民族造就第一代Black Panther的出現,繼而使用當地特有的金屬元素建立Wakanda這個國家,並將這個世外桃園與世隔絕。二十年前國王發現親信犯禁對外走私軍火,整頓後回復一輪的平靜,直至T'Chaka死後的王位爭奪戰再掀起風波。T'Challa(Chadwick Boseman飾)擊倒另一部族的領袖M'Baku(Winston Duke飾),順理成章地世襲王位;後來獲悉放置於倫敦博物館的武器被黑市軍火賣家Ulysses Klaue(Andy Serkis飾)和Erik Stevens(Michael B. Jordan飾)盜竊,T'Challa跟兩位戰友Okoye(Danai Gurira飾)和Nakia(Lupita Nyong'o飾)到韓國釜山進行追捕,期間配合中情局探員Everett K. Ross(Martin Freeman飾)扣留Klaue。號稱Killmonger的Stevens強行救走Klaue,T'Challa決定放棄任務折返。讓妹妹Shuri(Letitia Wright飾)醫治身受重傷的Ross。Killmonger來到Wakanda挑戰T'Challa的王位,成事後馬上拓展對外售賣武器的業務;Nakia一行人尋求M'Baku的協助,發現他的部族把身受重傷的T'Challa拯救回來,眾人出盡全力殲滅為非作歹的Killmonger,T'Challa最後殺死了這位為父報仇的戰士。自此T'Challa向世界展示Wakanda的先進文明,並加入復仇者聯盟守護世界。

Chadwick Boseman是一名美國男演員,他擁有出色的編寫才華,最後選擇成為一位演員;他在事業上的起步十分迅速,大部分所獲得的角色都是有很好的發揮機會,代表作有The Express、Get on Up及Marshall。他的角色早在去年的Marvel系列電影中出現,當時觀眾對角色不太熟悉,焦點自然落在其他超級英雄身上。筆者很喜歡他為角色設計的獨特口音,整個角色的形象是智慧及勇氣的化身,有別於一般只著重異能的英雄人物;他有深厚穩固的演戲根基,於之前幾部傳記片的表現已經證明了這一點,而他為了這部賣座電影做了很長時間的準備,亮眼的演出效果沒有白費多年來付出過的努力。他的下一部推介是Avengers系列的第四部曲,上集已消失在人間的他將再度登場,究竟各位英雄會如何撥亂反正對付Thanos,筆者跟其他影迷一樣急不及待明年電影的上映。

電影雖然屬於Marvel系列的英雄電影,今次卻得到影評人及觀眾的一致讚賞,全因整個劇組主要以黑人為主,打破美國電影多年來的自我優越感;隨著時代不斷的進步,種族的分野在藝術範疇上已經變得不太重要,當然不同地方的作品仍有著各自的特色,只是膚色的不同並不代表素質的優次,對歐美電影業界帶來與時並進的衝擊。電影的主要演員表現十分突出,筆者要特別稱讚飾演反派的Michael B. Jordan,他是首次讓筆者同情他的Marvel反派,因為他將角色的故事滲透在演繹之中,而不是單純地挑釁英雄的能力,三位女演員的演出也令人留下深刻印象。電影的技術水平維持一貫水準,優秀的視效製作並沒有甚麼突破,音效、攝影、造型及場景等相輔相成下帶來不錯的觀影享受,只是觀眾的著眼點放在重要議題上,導致作品獲得十分正面的評價。人生的長短不由我們決定,但我們可以選擇如何度過幾十年的時光,到世界各地增廣見聞一直是筆者的心願,相信終有一天可以踏進這個神秘的非洲國度。
