More bland, by the numbers Marvel trash. It's not bad per say, it's just spectacularly boring & predictable. A totally pointless movie.

I have a dream that someday moviegoers will at last notice the awful acting in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While Spider-Man: Homecoming delivered some strong performances alright, Marvel otherwise fails time and time again in humaneI have a dream that someday moviegoers will at last notice the awful acting in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While Spider-Man: Homecoming delivered some strong performances alright, Marvel otherwise fails time and time again in humane believability, including their latest effort in Black Panther. It still occasionally assumes the same mentality as Marvel’s three projects of 2017: Most of the confused stars attempt seriousness scene until somebody suddenly explodes in a snarky one liner the next to ruin the emotive flow.

The key player, Chadwick Boseman, proved his onscreen believability in 42, except here, the identity in his sleepy eyes mimic everyone else’s. The second-hand man, Michael B. Jordan, got his earned universal acclaim in Creed, but here puts on a forgettable mannerism any idiot could play to the same results. Then T’Challa’s love interest, 12 Years a Slave’s Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o, expresses no memorable active girl power besides her first scene wrongly swinging a gun like a club. These indistinct portrayals appear very distanced by the way they talk at each other rather than to each other, as if they just glanced last-minute at the script before the camera rolled.

Unlike Malcolm X’s famous statement, “a man who stands for nothing will fall for anything,” several female characters should’ve fallen out of the final draft, because they stood for nothing other than the hero’s plot importance. The screenwriters chose even greater wrong turns in the dialogue because they were too fearful to take risks, resulting in bland morals pulled out of Intro to Screenwriting 101. Such morals included: “No man is perfect,” “You get to decide who you will be,” and, “Fight for what you love.” Uninspired, much? Heck, even the Stan Lee cameo turned out dull!

Onto Wakanda, a friend of mine said he saw Wakanda’s political decisions as the negative ideas between Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X mixed together. Honestly, it is a neat observation, but the little sense the world makes turns any political agenda it attempts ineffective. In its essence, Vibranium, the strongest substance in the universe, fell from the cosmos millions of years ago to form the whole African civilization, which now somehow features high-tech buildings coexisting alongside traditional African walkways. Did nobody think of including the apparently endless Vibranium supply in the clothes they wear?

Wakanda’s visual style also essentially insults Africa’s old traditions by making it look hip under overused bad CGI, especially since modern slang made its way into this culture trapped in the past: “wazzup” and “antelope in headlights” to name a couple. A creative visual choice includes expositional Wakandian text, except after the first twenty minutes it goes away forever—leaving the established African culture to get outshined by a rock music fueled car chase tainted hot pink by South Korea.

Although, plenty of strong emotional elements in the picture’s scope still pay off, including some Oakland Black kids who shoot hoops into a milk crate to contrast the massive crystal clear futuristic city seen shortly after. Surely Black Panther might help Black audiences feel inspired from the tribal drums pounding to the heartbeat of a tense battle on top a steep waterfall, spears gradually closing in on the combat. Topping off the roller coaster ride in the climactic fight, the immersive sound of a train built by the Wakandites glides across your scalp to force your attention on what’s important. At a more melancholic level, Ryan Coogler’s direction evokes sorrow in his symbolic use of violet, found primarily in the heart-shaped herbs grinded into spiritual liquid. I would love it if Coogler soon took on greater projects under a more social responsible studio.

Now look back at Black Panther’s blatant political agenda. The focus is not only on empowerment towards African Americans, but makes those who historically enslaved them look bad, this makes its way into the film, purely for the sake of brief laughs, when White people call Blacks “savages,” only to be in turn called “colonizers.” Once the racist backlash seems to be over, a first end-credits scene literally screams Black Lives Matter with no sign of being subliminal about it, setting off a second last end-credits scene that throws in one last unnecessary joke degrading a White guy. People suffer in many ways, so rich nations and poor nations must choose to take responsibility in global financial sustainability, a healthy mindset Marvel slaps right in the rump.

Seriously, we live in a time when a Black man can sit in the president’s seat, yet still sense the need to stress about diverse representation?!… Expand

Some of the best actors of all time are black so why do we have to put up with this cast? Chadwick Boseman, Martin Freeman, Andy Serkis, are the only good actors here. 3 out of a dozen main characters. It really seems the only reason they made this movie was to add ethnic diversity to Infinity War. That being said Black Panther in the movie Avengers Infinity War was awesome.

At best, Black Panther is a subpar superhero movie. No aspect of the film, be it the acting, writing or music are anything more than simply adequate. Black Panther is possibly one of the least creative films I have ever seen when compared to brilliant stories such as Spawn or Blade.

Then you have wishy-washy click-bait based 'news' articles online saying that in order to be able to grow as an individual, white people "need" to see this film in order to be able to disconnect from themselves. What a load of BS.… Expand

After the excellent introduction of both the 'new' Spider-Man and Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War, the subsequent solo movies were inevitable.
Whilst Spider-Man: Homecoming was a decent enough film, the one I was looking forwardAfter the excellent introduction of both the 'new' Spider-Man and Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War, the subsequent solo movies were inevitable.
Whilst Spider-Man: Homecoming was a decent enough film, the one I was looking forward to was Black Panther.... And I was bitterly disappointed.

The whole film seems like a rush job, as if it was made with a second draft of a rough script. The characterisations are bland and two-dimensional, with little or no effort put into creating empathy or depth. The dialogue is laughably bad, and the accents just make all the 'African' characters come across like those Nazis in war films who all speak English but with a Germanic twang.
The film does make reference to different countries having different languages, but why is the secret nation of Wakanda full of people who speak English?? The film makes a point about it being isolated etc, so it makes no sense.

But back to the script... The storyline is simply stupid. Nothing makes sense, and to be honest I felt more understanding for the film's main villain and his point of view than I did for those of the Hero..
And yes, we come to the worst aspect of the film, the villain and the whole 'hidden past' narrative element of the story.
The villain is introduced at the beginning, but then just vanishes from the movie for over an hour, while we deal with the right of succession of Black Panther to the throne, and the machinations of a South African arms dealer (with only 1 arm... Geddit!!). By the time the main villain comes back, it's just a tired cliche of the forgotten member of the royal family etc, etc, etc.. Ritual combat, in which the new king is simply thrashed in about 2 minutes (despite, apparently, training his whole life to be some amazing warrior)... It's nonsensical.

In fact, it's borderline patronising. Like the film-makers just said something like 'oh it's ok, it's simply another braindead Super Hero movie... Just throw in some more CGI and it'll be ok..'
But, unfortunately, someone said this was a film that breaks new ground in the genre. Black main character (completely forgetting Marvel's earlier trilogy of Blade films) and conscientous arguments about conservation, spiritualism, religious allegories....
No, no, and thrice no... We get some vacuous nods towards how humanity only exists to inevitably destroy itself, wrapped up in a heavy handed morality tale that has been told a million times better in a hundred other movies.

It's not like the action scenes are good either. The big spectacle set pieces are CGI snooze-fests, and the one on one fight scenes are badly choreographed and most are filmed in near darkness.

I can't recommend this movie. However, so many people will pay to see it, it doesn't actually matter. The Billion Dollar MCU will keep on rolling and, as we've seen, for every Iron Man, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Thor: Ragnarok and Ant-Man... We'll get crap like this and pretty much all the other movies in the franchise...… Expand

The story seems to be written to pander to fantasies of social justice, the movie even ending with Wakanda (an African country) providing technological foreign aid and support to the United States. Cringeworthy puns (the 'sneakers' joke for silent running shoes, really?) / jokes (the vegetarian joke). Every character acting irrationally. Special effects that look like video game cutscenes.

The "action" is very terrible, the dialogue is trash, and the whole development of Wakanda as a culture is absurd and bordering on parody of legitimate African culture. I think these films are so big and splashy that the studios have forgotten how to first craft a compelling story and then support that story with beautiful film-making in every single shot of the film. Black panther is just not a good movie, and it seems like a lot of people feel duped by the glowing reviews. This movie is VERY mediocre, if even that.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The film is very weak in many areas namely acting, editing, music and story. There is much to comment on, but the exaggerated portrayal (over acting) by the sister of Black Panther is perhaps the most noticeable. They accents grate, the line delivery and often dialogue is spongy and shallow. The sound design and music may well have been fantastic but it was buried in the centre of the screen, mixed low and non impactful. The scene where the Black Panther “arises” after being thrown to his death is built up then ends abruptly like it never happened. The fight scenes are cut in such a way they don’t often make sense. The city is confused... why with all the tech do they still have spears? Why is there a portal as African life being so tribal and simple? It was also noted that Wakanda is a walled city with a big wall and that no immigrants are permitted. This was all an opportunity to be open and present a world that is better than our own. And it just fails. The world is small and bigotted. The central plot has our hero come back from certain death claiming he is the rightful king. However he lost a fight and the rightful king went to someone else. His claim that “I did not submit” is not strong enough because he was thrown over a waterfall and stopped fighting. So his claim is false. A key point of the film seems to be that The Black Panther rejects the ceremonial traditions of Wakanda in favour of a coup. He is not the rightful king and we are expected to agree that he is, just because he’s a nicer guy. It’s such a gaping script/plot hole. Unforgivable in a film with this support. I’m baffled why so many are saying the film is good. It’s truly terrible.… Expand

The logical ties in the universe make no sense at all, if you take all the other movies together. The acting could have been better (especially that of the main actor). The bad guys are all jokes or even worse versions of young Annakin Skywalkers in black. The story itself makes not much sense either, nor does the depiction or imagination of Wakanda. Its like an insecure 10 year old wrote it.
It honestly boggles my mind how this movie gets such high reviews. Just because its mainly black actors? I dont get it. If I was black I would see it as an insult, because the movie is that bad and cant compete with "white movies". It felt tedious to get through it.
Spawn, Blade or Hancock deserved that much hype much more than this movie, if you just look at the "black".
Seriously, normally I can see a pattern in seemingly senseless high ratings (or even low for that matter), but this time... If I would have to guess, the reasons for these high ratings are actual racism and virtue signalling only. But that cant be, can it?… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unfortunately I found this movie sub par in pretty much every respect. The story line was slow and dragged out. The action was really hit and miss, with laughable power differences between characters (an armoured rhino was considered the hidden "power" weapon of the movie). Additionaly they killed of the two most interesting characters of the black panther Universe in this film "Killemonger" and "Klaw", easily the two most charismatic and well acted roles in this movie. The storyline was oddly racist towards people not of African descent, I know I know its a ficitonal African country, but still, its an odd message to have as the major plot point of the film.

The only major posoitive that i found i had for this film were the visual effects, the "sand/Dust?" hologram tech was really well done.

Apart from this you can easily give this film a miss, as it contibutes next to nothing to the MCU, part from taking away two of its best characters. (Literaly nothing happens, the end of the film leaves the story in the same palce as the start of it)… Expand

I rented thisI am not sure what kool-aid the critics are drinking or what movie they watched, but this is no inception, star wars, matrix or avatar. It is a poorly acted, predictable, fake looking two hour bloated mess of constant clichés. I rented this on Itunes as I wanted to see what all the fuss is about. I was honestly bored for the 1st half of the movie and stopped watching it, as it was almost too painful to watch. The only thing redeeming was Anthony Serkis. I watched the 2nd half a day later and it got more interesting. I am happy that some people love it. I would rank it above Fantastic Four and well below Dead Pool. As for the critics. What a joke. A score of 88? Seriously? This movie is plagued by all the things you rip other movies apart for. So you all are a bunch of hypocrites. Are you giving affirmative action bonus points to justify your score? I am all for Black Super Hero movies, but they should be good. Hell write an awesome superman who is black and let him save a city by fighting to the death. I will pay to see that. But I don’t need him ever talking about slavery and oppression or hearing the racist words like “white boy”. No thank you.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Typical reactionary BS from Marvel, thinly disguised as somehow progressive. Let's get this straight--in a film called Black Panther, our hero teams with a white CIA agent to kill the one radical/revolutionary figure (and the film's only African-American character, who's from Oakland no less--home of the Black Panthers). He defeats the latter's plans for militant resistance to the current oppressive racial system and instead basically opens a string of charter schools in Oakland. Uh huh.… Expand

I can't get over the hysteria surrounding the film. I understand these-days investors need that sort of drama to promote and perpetuate the films success - a controversy, but I find it incredibly off-putting. Seems like a cheap trick.

Maybe if ten years from now, I was a child binge watching super-hero films, I might take it at face value. But, as an adult now, I can't let my finances support these political edge movies are requiring I.e. Wonderwoman - Feminist Movement, The Danish Girl - Trans movement.

For the record, I'm cool with women. I'm cool with blacks. I'm cool with trans LGBTQ+++. I just don't want to buy a ticket to prove I'm cool with people. Theses outside associations are super seeding the quality of the film and how we make films. There's something for everybody, I guess. Can't we just make movies without the additional angle?… Expand

Holy Jesus, how many times are we gonna see that scenario.. It's OLD, it's CRINGY and most of all, BORING! As for the cast, Killmonger's actor was terrible. I wish black people would drop that street/thug wannabe attitube, talking with their mouths bending on the side in order to look cool etc. The rest of the cast and the whole attitube of Wakanda was great, but this guy was just ass.

Lastly, CGI can f*** off thank you. The fight scenes of this movie were absolute trash. Is it too hard to have a real hand to hand combat sequence without lame CGI? It looks bad and it looks fake AF. 3/10 for me and a shame because after Infinity War, my hype for Marvel came back and I decided to start watching the movies I missed. I guess I started with the worst one (probably). Black Panther, DareDevil and Spiderman are my top 3 Marvel Superheroes, so another reason for me to be dissapointed at this mess of a movie.… Expand

Ironically Black panther doesn't commit anything heroic in the movie. He endangered civilians in car chasing scene. He attacked terrorists in the beginning of the movie - only because his girlfriend was there. Killmonger's motivation is stupid, he is easily one of the worst villains in MCU. Secondary villain was better than Killmonger. Wakanda's tradition is very dumb. Just random criminal comes to country, kills the king and takes the seat. And the wakandans just...accepted it. There is no any loyalty. The dudes from Border tribe are the worst traitors.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am rating it a zero to help balance out the clear biased scores. The truth is there is nothing that stands out as terribly bad. A lot of people complain about the political agenda of the movie, however it seems to be something that is relevant to the black community which makes it a very logical topic to be the driving point. That said, there were quite a few things that seemed to break immersion for me. It seemed that the primary goal was to have as much african influence as possible so they would have advanced wakandan tribes with brutal mutalations like lip discs and scaring tatoos. This was out of place too in the way that they act like all of africa has a similar culture. Africa has 1.2 billion people and if feel it odd that they want to boil it down to such a degree. That said it did a great job in making me want to see more films exploring spacific African culture.
OK now the film, The effects were not ground breaking, it was visually pleasing. Acting was not too bad for what was given, however the characters were written very flat, The villian is upset for having been left behind but that is pretty much it, they did not do well to develop the main character, He was the same guy as when he started. It suggested that he is more willing to share their technology maybe but that doesn't seem so out of character for the guy when first introduced. There was no real apotheosis.
The plot was driven by the writers not the characters. Somehow an advanced civilzation is going to let an outsider with no interest in the good of Wakanda be the king of Wakanda. it was cringe worthy. The movie is full of serious cliches to the point that You can guess what happens next with 100% certainty. There was not anything technically wrong with it, It just leaves you yawning and bored half way through the film. Not worth the money… Expand

There was no tension, no suspense, no exciting mystery to unravel. The first half of the movie is a painful slog to sit through, lots of talking about family issues which aren't compelling due to a lack of conflict between those involved, that is until Killmonger shows up. He is one of the better characters in the film. T'chala is very stoic and reserved and shows no charisma. I also don't appreciate comments like "colonizer" directed towards the white character as if today's white americans are somehow responsible for slavery. Many of the whites living in the usa came from immigrant Eastern European families that moved to the states in the 1800s, and most certainly did not have African slaves in their native countries and historically played no part in the African diaspora. On top of that, they weren't even considered "white" when they first immigrated and were treated poorly. I wish Hollywood would get their history right if they are going to make politically charged movies. I'm Black and I know this. I wish to see a film where whites, black, asians, etc. are all treated with respect and guiltless. As a black woman I am disgusted to think Hollywood thinks I must be a bigoted racist with an axe to grind against all white people.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I never was interested in Black Panther when the comic was out, I was a little curious on the movie and wow... I want my time back. Terrible CGI. Afrofuturism really used in such a terrible way it sounds like false Black Empowerment. Thinking they're the master race or something. None of this movie I can find that remotely makes sense. (I know it's a super hero movie but come on, at least other ones you can find reasons to understand it, it's too ridiculous and to the point where it's just plain unbelievable to enjoy.) Did you know that the original comics was based off of black stereotypes too? I know many characters were in the past during that time but holy crap these choices were bad. I'm guessing a good change being the women aren't sex slaves like the original?

A gift that fell out of the sky and landed. Nothing but black people had thousands of years to build around it, create a dictatorship with slaves and normal people still living in huts, taking drugs to worship animals and fighting to the death with spears. Wakanda definitely sounds like a crappy tribe with false empowerment, in fact it kinda sounds racist. Technologically advanced, Culture? Not really lol. It gets really funny when Wakanda suddenly knows all languages lmao.
If that scene where they bring a white person to Wakanda for medical attention was all white, there would've been so much backlash. Since it's black I guess that's ok though.

It's really hard to look at Wakanda and not compare it to real world history but uhh... nah that's not gonna stop. It's stupid.

I really don't want to write anything about this movie anymore so I'm ending this review early.

In short:
Half finished plot with hollow characters. The only good thing I guess is it's a low standard action movie.… Expand
