This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Black Panther, dirigida por Ryan Coogler, es una película que rompió barreras y dejó una huella importante en el cine. Con una representación poderosa y un impacto cultural significativo, esta película trajo consigo una historia importante y personajes memorables.

Uno de los puntos fuertes de Black Panther es su reparto excepcional. Chadwick Boseman brilla en el papel principal como T'Challa / Black Panther, llevando consigo una presencia carismática y una determinación inspiradora. El elenco de apoyo, incluyendo a Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Letitia Wright y Michael B. Jordan, también brinda actuaciones sólidas y creíbles, aportando profundidad y complejidad a sus respectivos personajes.

La película presenta una visión visualmente impresionante de Wakanda, el reino ficticio de Black Panther. La dirección de arte y el diseño de producción son exquisitos, capturando la riqueza cultural y la tecnología avanzada del lugar. Además, la banda sonora de Ludwig Göransson, que fusiona ritmos africanos con elementos modernos, complementa perfectamente la estética visual y añade una capa adicional de inmersión a la experiencia cinematográfica.

Black Panther también destaca por su mensaje poderoso sobre la identidad, el legado y la responsabilidad. La película aborda temas como el racismo, la opresión y la lucha por la igualdad de una manera audaz y significativa. Al situar la narrativa en el contexto de un país africano rico y avanzado, Black Panther desafía los estereotipos y ofrece una representación positiva de la cultura africana.

Sin embargo, a pesar de sus logros, Black Panther presenta algunas debilidades en términos de desarrollo de personajes y ritmo narrativo. Algunos de los personajes secundarios podrían haber sido más explorados, ya que parecen subutilizados y carecen de una motivación clara en la historia. Además, la trama a veces se siente desequilibrada, con momentos de ritmo lento que contrastan con secuencias de acción más emocionantes.

Aunque Black Panther se esfuerza por ofrecer una historia sólida y equilibrada, algunas decisiones narrativas y la forma en que se resuelven los conflictos pueden resultar predecibles. Aunque la película tiene momentos impactantes y emotivos, no logra mantener una coherencia narrativa constante en toda su duración.

En resumen, Black Panther es una película que dejó una marca importante en la industria cinematográfica y en la cultura popular. Con su representación inspiradora, su visión visualmente impresionante y su mensaje poderoso, la película se convirtió en un hito en la historia del cine de superhéroes. Aunque presenta algunas debilidades en términos de desarrollo de personajes y ritmo narrativo, sigue siendo una experiencia valiosa y significativa que vale la pena ver.… Expand

There were times during this movie that we're just straight-up cringe. For example, I get how Tony Stark could become a genius. The prodigy son of a famous inventor who was already extremely wealthy. And spent a lot of his lifetime trying to live up to his father.

The whole premise of the young lady who is basically Tony Stark 2.0 was just unbelievable. You can't expect the audience to buy into this type of character. And the same goes for Shuri. How do you bypass so many other qualified women and men and then choose to make Shuri BP. And then overnight she suddenly a master of martial arts....

At this point why not just Mass produce that flower if it can be made so easily and give those powers to everyone in the kingdom? You apparently don't need any prior qualifications.… Expand

This movie is alright. The script is kind of just The Lion King but with superhero stuff. The CGI is some of the worst I've ever seen in a big-budget production like this. Again, it isn't bad, but an 88/100 is a bit much. I'd say it's a 7/10 at best.

Wanted to see 'Black Panther' for a while, one of my most anticipated films of this early half of 2018 and as somebody who likes to loves most of Marvel's films. The idea was interesting as was what the film was hyped up to be, the trailerWanted to see 'Black Panther' for a while, one of my most anticipated films of this early half of 2018 and as somebody who likes to loves most of Marvel's films. The idea was interesting as was what the film was hyped up to be, the trailer looked great and the high ratings and critical acclaim promised even more.

My thoughts were that 'Black Panther' was a decent and intriguing film with a lot of very well done to great elements, but it didn't blow me away and left me disappointed after the hype. As indicated, far from hated it, didn't love it. Actually saw 'Black Panther' on opening weekend in a sold out showing (it was touch and go as to whether a ticket could be gotten), but had to properly form my thoughts for a while and was nervous seeing the very divisive IMDb reaction and the condescension on both sides (mostly negative), which has slightly died down since to feel less nervous.

Starting with the good/great things, 'Black Panther' is mostly impressive visually. The special effects were variable, but there were some spectacular ones, while it's beautifully and stylishly shot, slickly edited and sumptuously costumed. It's the extraordinary production design that was most note-worthy. Loved the use of technology, which was really cool. The music has the right amount of haunting intensity, energy, dignity and pathos, so a fine score on its own but not always utilised right in the film, a few ill-fitting moments mood-wise.

Much of the action is exciting, though there could have been more, and there is a good deal of thought-provoking script-writing with some nicely injected humour. One is immersed in the world of Wakanda, which is a fascinating world in thematic terms. The story does grip once it gets going and doesn't feel as confused and jumpy, with timeline and location changes needing to be clearer, like it did to begin with and a lot of it even when turning our everyday struggles on their heads is surprisingly relevant.

Personally thought that much of the acting was good, with a very charismatic lead performance from Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan bringing a self-loathing conflicted edge and swagger to Killmonger and Andy Serkis relishing his role with aplomb. The women are just as good, with a dignified Lupita Nyong'o, regal, no-nonsense and feisty Danai Gurira and particularly a funny and endearing Letitia Wright. While his role is small, Daniel Kaluuya is great fun in it. Direction is above competent, if not innovative, and really appreciated the film making Killmonger more than the standard Marvel villain, here one with questionable personal motives but one where one can see his point of view and empathise. Although his actions are inconsistent and don't always make sense and he could have been more threatening, generally he is one of the better Marvel villains and the most developed character in a film too full of stock ones (the titular character being the other exception).

'Black Panther' has faults however. Most of the characters are stock and clichéd, while some of the first half is too talky, the film is a little slow-going and confused to start with and some of the political elements are laid on too thick. Adding to the general feel that, even with the splashes of humour, the film takes itself too seriously and with the amount of predictability it has doesn't do enough new with a novel concept.

There are exceptions to the cast. Forrest Whittaker is wasted as a non-developed character with too short screen time, on top of the scene being rushed his final scene has no impact as a result. Martin Freeman is too fish out of water as well.

Although some of the effects are spectacular, others are very ropy. Especially in the final action scene between Black Panther and Killmonger which resembled a very early days/years video game. That scene also felt rushed, sometimes vaguely choreographed and anti-climactic, though the whole climax felt over-stuffed and too busy.

Overall, decent and interesting but was expecting more. Personally don't think it's the best Marvel film, while a long way from bad let alone terrible, for me it's one of the weaker ones. 6/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not every movie has to appeal to a mass audience, and Black Panther certainly does not. Black panther appeals to a very specific demographic, and does so incredibly well. It's just unfortunate that the rest of the movie was such a confusing, mediocre mess. To all the critics whomst called this movie a shocking masterpiece I agree with one part of what you've said. It certainly is shocking. A high budget, marvel blockbuster, funded by disney celebrating both african and african american culture so heavily is truly a shocking thing to see. Every single scene taking place in wakanda is dripping with culture, from the building designs, to the costume designs, to the music every single part of Wakanda feels like a celebration of a very rich and ancient culture.

And that's exactly why I feel as if I can't enjoy it. It's made and designed for people who know that culture, and I don’t. I just blatantly don't know anything about that culture. I have more respect for the movie for leaning so heavily into it and not dumbing it down for outsiders, however that does come with the trade off of turning away potential audience members. That and at times this movie is just outright racist. Having the only white man in wakanda treated basically like complete trash right up until the end of the movie. When he is first brought into wakanda, and he wakes up he's greeted by the one child calling him a “colonizer”. That's just straight up racist, it would be the same as Captain America waking up seeing Nick Fury for the first time and saying “hey slave”. The depiction of african culture truly is the only thing black panther has going for it, because the plot, characters, and action scenes are all some of marvel's worse. Actions scenes lack both tension and steaks as the black panther suit trivialises everyone our protagonist fights. Youtuber Filmento made a great video about this and if the action scenes felt lacking to you this offers a very solid explanation. The only character with any amount of depth are the two villains who I will get into later. Chadwick Boseman, may he rest in peace, plays a very boring character. His motivation and central driving force was introduced and explored more thoroughly in Civil War, leaving Black Panther with nothing to chew into. Side characters range from inoffensive to down right insufferable. I'd rather watch renowned scientist Johnny Sins do nothing but clean test tubes then spend any more time with Shuri. Overconfident, smug, arrogant she's got it all. When I said that the cultural depiction was the only bright spot of the movie I lied, the villains are actually pretty decent. Killmonger for lack of a better word, works quite well in this movie. However, quite under-appreciated Ulysses Klaue was the best villain of this movie. In a bubble he’s nothing special, crazy murderous russian psycho obsessed with a macguffin in a action movie might as well be a windows shortcut at this point. The only reason he shines so bright is the cast around him. Everyones so serious, and in comes this kill happy goofball blowing **** up and spouting off conspiracy theories about wakanda. As much as I critique Black Panther I must reiterate, I have a lot of respect for director Ryan Coogler and everyone who worked on this movie. They didn’t bend to the whims of Disney and the mass market. They made what they were clearly inspired to make without compromise, it's just a shame that I can’t appreciate is as much as many other people clearly have.… Expand

Giving this movie an almost perfect score is absolute non-sense. Chadwick Boseman is a fantastic actor and I liked his portrayal of Black Panther in the other Marvel movies (Civil War and Infinity War) but his role in his own movie fell flat. Not because of his acting, but he wasn't given much from the writers. The coolest characters were the villains and side characters. The Dialogue was flat and the humor was pretty much non-existent. The action scenes were OK at times but fell short because of the bad CGI and lazy choreography. The last fight scene looked like something out of 2008. I own all the Blade movies on VHS and I was happy to see a new black super hero for a change. It just didn't do it justice and Black Panther deserves better. Overall, it wasn't terrible and I would rank it right in the middle of the rest of the Marvel movies out there so far.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Slightly less than average Marvel movie. Same simple plot that is full of holes, canned acting, and good CGI. The action in this movie is so bipolar, going from throwing people into cars, to killing them on the freeway, a battle of submission, to slitting someone's throat and stabbing. Only for the little bit of blood being when everyone is out of suits making everything ridiculous and telling that this was intended for kids, but not written for them.
This is by far the least heroic hero Marvel has shown yet with T'challa killing people left and right with no concern or worry. The implications of Wakanda being effectively a tyrannical dictatorship that may have a happy populace (it's not possible to tell since we only really see the royals) is also kind of frightening. It will never come to that in-story, but the implications and people thinking of it being better is worrisome.

The inspiration it took from various African cultures was fantastic, but then there were times they threw it all together willy nilly. Things with intent and meaning now just meant African.… Expand

I don’t get the hype. It was basically the same Marvel plot and characters except they’re African. It’s cool to see some different culture for a change but the story is fairly derivative.

Anyway the plot is fine I suppose. The only character I liked throughout the film was T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman) he was likable for the most part. My problem is that there was no scene that really stuck with me like all the other films in the MCU and for that it was pretty boring. The acting is brilliant however. They made the scenes a lot more believable. I did like the idea of Wakanda being technologically superior surrounded by third world poverty and the moral dilemmas it could bring up (However unrealistic) It's a lot like the comics in some ways but despite everything good, the clear political agendas really take away from the experience. This film would have been AMAZING if only people like the film for the contents of the characters and not the race of the characters.… Expand

Black Panther

Coogler's incense stick burns slow but has an enchanting fragrance that teases our speculations with thought provoking familiar themes. With Ryan Coogler, the director, on the realm, he has a politically correct film as the crown, it may not age well, but it definitely is the headline of the today's newspaper. The up rise in the rich culture that it sparks is unfortunately a double edged sword, as much as it is essential to shine the light on the other side of the door, it also is necessary to be nuanced in that very speech, unfortunately at a certain point it grows loud- the forced humor is probably the dullest of the franchise- and undermines the quality. Chadwick Boseman as the king, never feels like the "king".

He may have all the James Bond-alike gadgets but his body language isn't flamboyant as his competitor Michael Jordan. But then, to be honest, it is Jordan's film from the start. With a ferocious provocative performance his leadership has much more jarring impact than Boseman could ever cast. And Jordan single-handedly carves this film like his appealing figure, the film grows three dimensional when his opinions come alive, only because every other character is given a baggage, except for him, and then he too is cooked with those same ingredients.

This middle act is where the film wins all the credit and as much as gritty this very act is, the last act shucks that earned respect as it gets reduced to a fist fight in the end- the commercial aspect once again anchors the flight of another bohemian chapter of the MCU. Coogler offers enough to ponder about and enough to exhale for, the gold that it digs for, comes with a price that as an audience we are paying for unknowingly, it is not manipulative but an inadequacy to cut deep, for the time the myth, the king, the Black Panther is their reliable protector.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is shockingly bad, considering how late it comes into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I have a lot to go through, but the short version is that if you're looking for anything other than a time-killer this will probably disappoint you.

Let's get one thing out of the way: while Black Panther is undeniably cool and sets a standard for diversity, the entire premise of Wakanda is troubled. I can't knock the movie too much for this, considering they must have wanted to stay true to the source material. But it would all have gone down a lot easier if Wakanda's timeline was shortened to a few generations. It is simply too big a pill to swallow to believe a super-advanced society has existed for millenia while Africa has been getting **** over. Your mileage may vary on this, but personally I hoped the movie would make this aspect more palatable.

The first thing I noticed was the movie's poor cinematography and awful CGI. The opening action setpiece takes place at night, and you'll just have to imagine what is happening because no amount of adjusting the picture will let you see anything. Obviously it's a challenge to portray a man dressed all in black stealthily taking out some bad guys at night. But a more gifted filmmaker would have found a way to at least imply BP's movement (i.e. muzzle flashes or moonlight glinting off the shiny parts of his suit) in the scene. This is by far the worst example, though the final battle against Killmonger is also a bit confusing. However, the movie in general has a lot of static shots that just don't bring any dynamism. The CGI in the entire movie is poor and really sours the amazing choreography. By comparison, the opening CGI story of Wakanda and the scenes in the Ancestral Realm fit those scene much better.

The story isn't awful as a whole, but it clearly needed a rewrite to focus all the elements. As it is, the movie is part origin story, part coming-of-age, part social commentary, part comeback tale--but not one element feels satisfying. It's good that the movie is ambitious enough to give each of its plotlines room to develop, but in the end nothing bears fruit in a movie that is overlong.

The acting is generally fine, at least as much as could be with the poor writing. None of the characters have much depth, so each scene relies heavily on plot to move it forward rather than any human elements that engage the audience. The only exception is Michael B. Jordan, who seemed to really get into his character's head. Unfortunately his villain makes some pretty outlandish leaps in logic by the end and it's hard to sympathize with him. The two other standouts were Letitia Wright as Shuri and Andy Serkis as Ulysses Klaue. Both seem to be having a lot of fun with their respective roles and light up the screen when they're on it. Chadwick Boseman, unfortunately, falls short of being charismatic, rarely stepping beyond "noble hero" territory.

Black Panther isn't the worst movie ever made, not even the worst MCU movie out there. But considering how much the MCU has matured in 10 years, it is surprisingly devoid of nuance and originality. I hope future entries in this character's story find their footing and boldness since the potential is clearly there both in the source material and the assembled cast present here.… Expand

The fact that this is up for best picture is an absolute shame and warrants an apology from the academy. It is nothing more than just another hype train of a film escalated by the fact that it did something as "different" as have a predominantly black cast lead it. It's "Moonlight" all over again!

Now for the more controversial part; "The Black oppression myth" as I like to call it.

Hang on, I do know the history of slavery in the Americas, but it's not about that. Black Panther has a black superiority and victimhood complex. The characters of the movie joke around with words like "colonizer" and "white boy" (to make them look immature) frequently. They (the villains) aren't shy about talking of a global white genocide either.

Basically; this movie's plot is of a prince becoming king of a fantastical hidden african country with super strict border controls and tribal culture together with alien like technology...… Expand

For once, the MCU entertainment formula didn't serve its purpose in a movie where the absence of formulaic comedy would have been gladly taken.

As opposed to Thor: Ragnarok, The Avengers or Iron Man, Black Panther had several opportunities to make the jump from 'everyday comic book movie' to Sci-Fi Must - as 'Star Wars' Must, the kind of must where you can picture yourself wandering in Wakanda, a fictive country with a universe bigger to discover than all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole.

So what can we say about this movie? Well, obviously the missed opportunities to reach higher grounds. Which appears more and more frustrating as the movie goes on.

Is it true to the MCU? Yes, sure.

Too much? Yes, as the limit can be seen from the moment when the plot is given straight forward, just like every other MCU movie where this formulaic template follows. From then on, the magic you felt up to the second half of the movie is slowly fading away.

So much potential going to waste yet again, thanks to a cinematic universe.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have to say, while it is an entertaining movie, it is not the monstruous marvel most people are claming it out to be. I don't know if it was the fact that the Black Panther was teased and introduced in Civil War in a way that made me heighten my expectations, but I came out heavily disappointed.

The visuals are good, taking out some details here and there, but while I was expecting them to elaborate more on T'Challa's character, I found out it was just an empty shell when it came to character development and an engaging plot. I honestly expected a lot more than I've got, and there wasn't a single redeeming quality throughout the film that could save it. It seems that it was placed to glorify black actors that, while they have been underappreciated, it just was made in such a way that turned overall ridiculous, like a sort of 'empowerment' and 'coolness' that just wasn't there because the writers didn't bother with a well-developed script. They could have made a much more interesting story out of what they had to work with, and instead it just felt like a b-side to merely set some background for what's to come (infinity war).

T'Challa's character was bland and uninteresting, lacked a backbone and depth. A major disappointment, since he was depicted differently in CACW. Nakia was plain as well, which I found unfair for such a talented actress, and while they tried to make her more at some points, I felt like their efforts fell flat. Her kiss at the end with the king had as much chemistry as the one between Sharon and Steve in CACW. I wish they stopped pushing pointless 'romantic' relationships and focused more on the characters as complex people and their development.

Shuri was so-so. I feel like I would have liked her more if they'd worked more on her, but whatever. The villain's motivations where aimless and clichéd, and I feel like everyone is trying to make him more than what he really is. A resented child in a disfunctional home who thinks it's okay to bend everyone to their will because he says so. Boring.

The rest of the characters... don't even ask me. When you make the secondary characters be as uninteresting as they managed here, despite having good things to work with, you know you're doing a **** job.

(By the way, Okoye and W'Kabi's relationship? Pointless, unnecessary, they tried to add depth to their actions by taking this shortcut. No wonder it failed).

Overall, it was entertaining, the kind of entertaining you find a movie on a sunday when you're home bored and have nothing else to watch. Eat some popcorn, watch some mindless entertainment. I think actually some movies should be made for the sake of entertainment alone, but not all of them. And honestly? This sort of crossed the line.… Expand

2) critics that would love any movie with this type of cast
3) critics paid (not literally) by Disney
4) people that laugh at "what are thooooose" type of jokes

this movie was going to be overrated.

The villain COULDve been great. It wasn't. It just was better than the average Marvel villain. I get why. He had a point, so by making it a psycho (kills anybody that gets in the way and cant form any kind of relationship because he's broken and all he has is hate blablal) makes it easier to relativize the revolution ideas.

The hero could've been great. He couldve been this guy which needed tons of help to lead his people, but at least he was strong.
NOPE. He's weak and without the help of his little sister he would be dead. GREAT!

And then the scenes in the ethereal world. MY GOD. What a boring waste of time (except the last scene, which should've been the only one there).

Other than that, typical funny movie!… Expand

پس از دیدن بلک پنتر و رکورد شکنی ها نمره هایی که در مقایسه با سینمایی های امروزی مارول و دی‌سی و همچنین نظرات مساعد از سوی طرفداران ، باید از این پس به‌طور کل سینما ی ابرقهرمانی را از سینمای هنر تمیز بداریم. امروزه فیلم های ابرقهرمانی را هنرمند(ان) نمی سازد(ند) تا شاهد یک نمایش هنرمندانه از قهرمانان مورد علاقه‌مان روی پرده سینما باشیم. بتمن های تیم برتون و سه گانه نولان نمایش هنرمندانه ابرقهرمانان تخیلی است که مشخصه اصلی آنها تعلق به کارگردان است ، تعلق به کارگردان هنرمند نه به استدیو فیلمسازی و یا حتی توزیع کننده اش است. فاصله گرفتن این دست فیلم ها با سینمای هنری را می توان با مقایسه جدیدترین کار این سینما (شاید اونجرز و بلک پنتر) و مقایسه آخرین ساخته کارگردانی مثل همین نولان (دانکرک) فهمید. یکی برای اسکار می جنگد و دیگری برای راضی کردن مخاطب وفاداری که به اصطلاح سالهاست با آن سفید امضا کرده و در آخر هم از پس آن بر نمی آید و عاشقانش منتظر فیلم بعدی می شوند. بلک پنتر در میان این بحران سعی می کند بی نقص باشد اشکالات تکراری ساخته های مارول را نداشته باشد ، جلوه های ویژه و بودجه 200 میلیونی با رنگ ها در جلوی دیدگان ما بازی کند و با ایستراِگ مخاطب را به ورطه های شگفت انگیزی برساند.
بلک پنتر می خواهد خوب باشد اما در نهایت یک دروغ گو ست که می خواهد ما را امیدوار کند.… Expand

Hugely overrated. Mediocre acting and directing, slow pace and nothing spectacular in the action department. A testament to how crazy the world is in 2018 that this movie received universal praise from the MSM.

Screenplay adapted from Iron Man 1 (for the umpteenth time), deficient CGI and pitiful action scenes. Chadwick Boseman made me sleep the first hour.
Undoubtedly, one of the worst movies of the MCU.

I don't understand what all the hype and super praises are about. It's an average Marvel movie and, quite honestly, to say this is the best marvel movie ever sounds like way too much.

The movie is ok and here's why I think so: 1 - this plotI don't understand what all the hype and super praises are about. It's an average Marvel movie and, quite honestly, to say this is the best marvel movie ever sounds like way too much.

The movie is ok and here's why I think so: 1 - this plot has been exploited time and again;

2 - the villain is uninteresting and his character development (if we can call it that) feels very rushed;

3 - the movie tries to be too much for its own good: a super hero movie, a political dilema, social justice and equality. I mean, nothing wrong with all those, but the mix just didn't blend well here. Sure the message is amazing, the feminine empowerement is fantastic and the cast overall is very strong. Too bad it's wrapped in a slow-paced, mostly predictable movie.

4 - the action scenes - the few ones as the movie focuses more in story telling and slow-paced drama - are lackluster. It's a super hero movie and as such I believe people expect to see action and cool fighting/action/adventure scenes. Black Panther's moments in Civil War are much more exciting than most of this movie. Also, he looks much more powerful, interesting and on purpose there than here.

The mid and post credit scenes are awesome. Marvel never lets us down in those.

6 sounds really fair here: 4 for the social message it conveys + 2 as a movie that doesn't fit it's category and that doesn't honor the universe it comes from.… Expand

Culturally important. Not an innovative plot, dialog brutally stilted. Worth seeing, but don't expect great cinema.

Average score for an average movie.

The story was kinda boring, the characters didn't have much character, the CGI was iffy.

The definition of mediocre. Bland, poorly acted villain; exceedingly boring plot; forgettable soundtrack. Little character development for protagonist.

Glad I waited to rent this.

CGI is poorly blended and it sticks out like a sore thumb when the cast is clearly standing on the green screen during several scenes throughout the film. The plot is pretty basic as well and does nothing to be even slightly original. TheCGI is poorly blended and it sticks out like a sore thumb when the cast is clearly standing on the green screen during several scenes throughout the film. The plot is pretty basic as well and does nothing to be even slightly original. The cast is rather so-so as well. I enjoyed Boseman and Jordan as the leads, Freeman and Serkis played wonderful supporting parts but everyone else seemed kind of awkwardly out of place and it didn't really click well on-screen. There was no real chemistry and it shows. The action scenes were probably the only real enjoyment this film had to offer and even those were kind of boring at times and again, The CGI painfully out of place.

Honestly, This has to be one of the most overrated films in recent years. I think the fact that it's the first black superhero film to come out during the superhero film kick (not ignoring Blade) really overhyped it. And the user reviews show that IMO. You don't have a near 2 overall score drop out of over 2000 reviews if that wasn't the case. It's an alright movie worth renting but not worth owning because there honestly isn't one real stand out thing about it, Aside from the superhero being black.… Expand

This has to be the most over-rated, over-hyped film I've ever seen. The story is flimsy, deeply unoriginal and you can tell what is going to happen every step of the way. The plot is so formulaic and obvious its ridiculous.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of the most overrated movies I've ever seen. Everyone treats it as this cultural phenomenon. The truth is, actually, that its very mediocre. Compared to other MCU films, this is one of the worst. T'Challa is extremely boring and uninteresting in this movie. The character motivations don't make sense at all. Michael B. Jordan's Killmonger (the highlight of this movie) has good intentions and wants to treat poverty in the rest of the world. Black Panther wants to stop him. The motivations are flipped. The side characters are stale and their jokes don't hit at all. The movie does a good job of using Andy Serkis's and Michael B. Jordan's acting skills but forgets about the rest of the cast. Also, the CGI. What the **** was that **** A movie with a $200 million budget shouldn't look like someone drew it in "Paint". It is absolutely embarrassing.… Expand
