Aside from the aforementioned CGI issues, Black Panther is packed with thrilling action sequences, most memorably the frantic South Korea car chase featured extensively in the film's trailers.

Considering how brilliantly Ryan Coogler directed the fight sequences in Creed, it's little surprise he keeps things visually diverse throughout, even when the fight in question might be nothing more than two men slugging each other with the most basic weaponry.

Elsewhere, he does fine work exploiting the more outlandish, futuristic tech possessed by the Wakandans, delivering gorgeous, over-the-top spectacle, which again confirms that auteur filmmakers can bring artistic flair to Marvel's superhero movie conveyor-belt.
