An action film which truly fulfills the hype and excels beyond the limits of the genre. Before the obligatory fisticuffs and explosions there is real depth and storytelling. Superb world-building in terms of combining high tech with the African diaspora. Engaging and entertaining, every character here has dimension. This may reflect a patriarchal hierarchy but the women of the tale have strength and contribute to the film's arc in substantial ways. Societal messages are interwoven in a clear but subtle way and backstory is done through flashbacks to limit exposition. Stan Lee, of course, makes a final and bittersweet cameo. I could wax on for a good bit but there is little more to say. It's amazing. See it.
