I have seen Black Panther, and I'll be editing this message over the next hour or two with my thoughts and my non-spoilery notes. But I'll post this first to get across the main two messages we want to hear.
 * Quality - It's really good! Flawed in the second half and slightly too simplistic in its story for me, but cultural and beautiful and has really great characters.
 * Timeline - Mostly alright. Nothing contradicting a 2016 placement, aside from two similar vague lines of dialogue which would imply that we're a couple of years later than 2016 but a) it's not very specific and b) it's not really a problem. The film begins a week after T'Chaka's death, so June 29, 2016, and spans only a few days. I'd have to, from memory, write down the events to work out exactly how many, but it's about 4, taking us to roughly July 1, 2016. There's lots of mentions of "tomorrow" and "yesterday" and "hours ago" and things which I remember working out while watching left no gap at all, except for the last scene and then the credits scenes.
