God damn what a gorgeous, powerful movie. Boseman and Nyong’o are elegant and badass. Shuri steals the show. Killmonger’s the best villain Marvel has had yet. Michael B. Jordan absolutely killed it. It’s a real ass movie about deep, painful conflict that’s festered for generations. The scenes in the ancestral plane are touching and tragic. It also has a sense of humor and Andy Serkis is maniacally entertaining. Loved it.
Here’s my stab at ranking all of the 18(!) Marvel movies up to this point.

- Iron Man
- Captain America: The First Avenger
- Thor: Ragnarok
- The Avengers
- Doctor Strange
- Iron Man 3
- Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

- The Incredible Hulk
- Thor
- Iron Man 2
- Thor: The Dark World
God damn. The fact that there’s 18 movies on it alone is incredible, and that 75% of them are at the very least, good, is just astounding. I’ve enjoyed all of the Marvel movies to some extent, except maybe the last 3 or 4. Winter Soldier and Guardians are two of my favorite movies period. And I’m fully expecting Infinity War to blow them all out of the water. As a Marvel nerd, this is really special.
