Black Panther is more than just another entry into the MCU; it's a gripping story surrounding T'Challa and his struggles to become not only a good king, but a good man as well. It comes as no surprise to me that the two best MCU movies toBlack Panther is more than just another entry into the MCU; it's a gripping story surrounding T'Challa and his struggles to become not only a good king, but a good man as well. It comes as no surprise to me that the two best MCU movies to date were directed by POC and contained some of the most human interactions I've ever seen. Both Thor: Ragnarok and Black Panther are incredible watches, and are currently at the top of my list for best movies I've ever seen. If you haven't seen Black Panther yet, I highly recommend it! See it twice, see it three times, even. I cannot sing the praises of this movie enough. Expand

It explores family bonds and culture. The connections between the members of the royal family and their loyal friends and allies are a beauty to behold, as are the sets and designs that bring Wakanda to life. The touches and inspirations from the African culture into the film will impress any viewer, no matter their heritage. While it delivers with action, humor and stunning imagery, its the darker and more serious themes in the story that make it stand out. Exceptional work by Marvel and possibly one of the greatest additions to the genre. Expand

As a fan of the marvel cinematic universe and a fan of movies in general, everything really worked for me in this film. Director Ryan Coogler did a great job adapting this beloved comic for future generations. The film had some social commentary on real life events, which I felt enhanced the story and was not just pidgin holed in. It added a realistic backdrop to help flesh out the heroes and villains of the story, a line that we find is not always clear cut. Also, a nod to the actors & actresses in this film who all put on a top class performance. I really enjoyed everyone in this film, but my standouts were Andy Serkis, Letitia Wright and Michael B. Jordan. This was a very solid action adventure film that had the right amount of seriousness in it to make me feel invested in the characters. If you are a fan of the marvel cinematic universe I highly recommend this film. Expand

Like my review's first few sentences, they just seem like they could be worded in a more coherent fashion. Fight scenes were definitely fun to watch although i did not enjoy some of the scenes filmed at night because the camera work was too shaky and it was hard to tell exactly what was taking place on the screen. Third act had some great camera work and great fight scenes however. The story was quite linear; you knew the entire time where story would lead, what the "twist" would be and how it would be resolved. All in all, it was another decent entry in MCU. One thing i always complained about when it comes to MCU movies is their color contrast or rather lack of it. This movie did have moment of vibrant colors mixed into its cinematography which made it more fun and appealing to watch. Comedy was present as it always is in MCU but this movie was able to go a good job keeping the tone serious since it was warranted considering the plot. There were a couple of points in the movie where it felt a bit slow and felt dragged on especially in the second act but picked up near the end which made up for it. It doesn't necessarily have to be seen in theaters but def is worth a watch if you are action movie genre fan and especially if you are a superhero/mcu fan. Expand

First, the bad news
After watching this movie twice one thing is really bugging me, the fight scenes.What a missed opportunity. Civil war set BP up as a martial arts bad ass with a fighting presence similar to Bruce Lee. The BP movie kinda strips that cool factor away with poorly shot fight scenes.In a way, it's like TDK cus the fight scenes were **** in that but the story was superb.

Now for the good news
Killmonger, killmonger, **** Loved Killmonger! Not only was he sympathetic, he was right about EVERYTHING. If BP and Kilmonger could work together somehow it would have been beautiful. 2 panthers! 1 like MLK and the other like Huey P Newton both complimenting and balancing each other. I liked all the characters and personalities in this film. I liked the different tribes and their colors and outfit. The art direction and costume designs were off the **** CHAIN! if they don't win an Oscar for that it will be a blatant snub. The Dora Milaje were amazing and hot and I never thought Michone from walking dead was hot, but "damn." Umbaku was fun and I liked his sense of honor. Everyone did a great job even Martin Freeman even tho he didn't really need to be there. Back to Killmonger. He delivers a line in this movie that made me tear up cus it was true and it was tragic and that's his whole character. I just can't say enuff good things about Micheal B Jordan in this movie. I loved the relationships between the characters they all felt real especially between BP and his sister Shuri. I'll be re-watching this film for the rest of my life.

...and now for the ugly news
Too much CG. Practical effects should have been utilized more and the cam shakes too much.

...and the weird
I got thru a review without spoiling anything :) also the stingers were not good or interesting

If you haven't already, go see this. If you've seen it already, go see it again. Marvel never lets me down and continues to surprise me.

...one more thing, "Killmonger" that is all.

Following T'Chaka's death his son T'Challa returns to the advanced, but secretive, African nation of Wakanda to assume the throne. Unfortunately this transition is not going to be a peaceful one.

The Black Panther is a good film but, after seeing so many extremely positive reviews, I couldn’t help but come away a little disappointed. The significant use of African culture and traditions does make a pleasant change from the over familiar New York setting, perhaps doing more than anything else to set it apart from other Marvel movies. There is also no shortage of interesting characters, including one of the most interesting ‘bad guys’ in Micheal B Jordan’s Erik. Personally however I found the pacing to be a little uneven at times and there was more than one occasion where a felt a little disinterested in proceedings. Overall the action scenes were also somewhat lacking compared to the best the Marvel movies have offered in the past and it was actually a little difficult to see what was going on during some of the fights with so many quick camera cuts. A good movie but not as entertaining as the best Marvel has offered over the past decade or so.

In most movies, there is a point (or three) when I look at my clock, hoping things will end soon. There was no such boredom-point in Black Panther. The visuals were gorgeous, the action exciting, and the world intriguing.
When I say "the visuals were gorgeous," I mean jaw-dropping. It was a huge part of why the movie worked so well for me. The plot and characters were fine, but the look was what made me invest emotionally. Colorful, exuberant, textured, and sleek.
The only thing I felt was a real problem with the movie was the main villain. They tried so hard to make him hip and relatable that it frequently felt like he didn't belong in the movie. That may have been intentional, playing up the outsider vibe, but it broke the immersion for me. Also? There were times it felt like he was pandering, sort of a "We cool, and I'm'a spout lines that let you know we deserve awards." He almost brought my rating down to an eight. (But the movie did give me war-rhinos, and those are worth almost a whole point by themselves.)
Warning: the fight scenes, battle, and car chase and such are kickass, but you may grow bored if you aren't also interested in seeing another culture. Parts of the Thor movies take place in Asgard, but it's only a backdrop rather than something that matters... in contrast, Wakanda feels very present and relevant within Black Panther. Somehow, this movie made me feel like a participant in the ceremony and affairs of a mythical/sci-fi African kingdom. Weird, but awesome.

But, even seeing this a week after it came out, I loved BP. The world-building was terrific and the cinematography absolutely beautiful. Unlike some recent superhero movies, I found the entire cast of characters compelling (Serkis was far better as Klaue (Klaw) in this than in his brief cameo in Age of Ultron). The action scenes were underplayed, if anything, but effective. There were a few bits of clunky dialog, but it really didn't matter. This was the freshest Marvel movie for me since the first Avengers. Expand

I honestly think it's one of the better Marvel films and is, for the most part, visually astounding. The writing is pretty standard for a Marvel film, it's formulaic but it gets the job done well enough to entertain the intended audience. This film wasn't so much created to be a statement or offer a different outlook on life or the world around us. This film isn't Logan, which took the concepts of death and depression and used them in various aspects of the narrative. Nor is it as fun and offensive as Deadpool. It's meant to make money while entertaining a broad audience, which it does. Some of the visuals in this film were taken straight out of the comics and look almost watercolor at times, which I thought was really interesting. There are many other aspects of the visuals that I thought were honestly astounding while there were a few (more specifically the rhinos) that looked like they were right out of an old PS3 video game.

The soundtrack is comprised of a mixture of rap, hip-hop, and traditional African music. I honestly really liked this soundtrack and it was honestly great to see something original rather than having them use licensed music.

Will I be buying this for myself when it comes out? Probably not, but I wouldn't be disappointed if I received it as a gift or a birthday present.

This movie is not disappointing, this movie is exceptional. Ryan Coogler brings his all to this film, and it shows. Just like Creed, his love for long take fights shows through an incredible casino tracking shot. The best thing about this movie is the characters. We all have been hearing about how amazing Michael B. Jorden is in the movie, and I can say that they are right, damn right. He is by far the best MCU villain. I don’t really want to give anymore away, so all I’ll say is that this is a near perfect movie, and I god damn loved it. Expand

Black Panther has become the ultimate blockbuster, almost reaching the Avengers Age of Ultron as the 3rd most successful comic book film of all time. Is it worth the hype? Yes and no. Coogler on one hand created a passionate super hero film with a great perspective on the African continent. On the other hand, it is a 'Marvel film' and its basic plot is derivative of another Marvel flick about 'kingdom and princes'( which title I will not spoil here). Its success rest though on Marvel / Disney's uncanny marketing ability. Who knows that the African American community in the US 'hungers' for a film representative of them and bet a $200 million budget for it? Well Disney did and they got a $1.3 billion plus movie. Their dominance at this point on the cinemagoing experience is so 'severe' that I found that the only 'worthy' tentpole films to watch first day on the cinema are released by them. Expand

Also, too bad that the coolest dude in the movie prays Hanuman, the white monkey, who is an Hindu God and has nothing to do with Africa at all, nice one Disney, who cares, as long as it's not a caucasian God, right ? Not to mention that destroying the idea of El Dorado is kinda a show of disrespect towards latin america and Aztek / Mayan cultures.

Not the best Marvel movie by far (Deadpool, Logan, Thor Ragnarok, last guardians...) but not the worst either.

The "What are those" joke sucks ass, the acting is acceptable, the action is acceptable but somewhat bland at points, Kilgrave is definitely better than most Marvel villains in movies (except for Vulture, Loki, and **** Hydra.) This movie certainly meanders at points, especially in the beginning, but at least it sets up scenes later in the second half. Daniel Kaluyaa is fine, his character is so ignorant it hurts, but his acting's fine. None of the characters really act like they're related to each other...

So why did I give this a 7... I don't know, it just doesn't suck ass if you don't think about it too much. Although this is definitely within the bottom half in terms of quality for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it's not the Incredible Hulk, it's not Thor 2, and it's certainly more memorable than Age of Ultron... personally, I do think the movie presents some interesting ideas at certain points in the plot, especially towards the end when I thought it was about to become something quite unique in the superhero genre... then rhinos show up and the same stupid **** happens yet again. (By the way, I actually give this more like a 6.5, it's just that I have to round up since it's a 6.5 and not a 6.49)

Is this movie flawed? Yes. Is this movie better than anything DC has done within the last four years? Also yes... Wonder Woman is just as overrated as this movie, I hate to break it to you, but try rewatching that action scene in the alley, and you'll realize how poorly coordinated that scene in Wonder Woman actually is (or just watch RalphtheMovieMaker's review on it, he'll sum it up in a way that my stupid mind can't explain.)

The music in action scenes and tension ones was really great, also the plot had a taste of traditional African traditions which was breath of fresh air in the MCU. The humor was above average and it got a few really hilarious moments as well, due to it's humor. But the real show steal-er was the plot's simplicity yet interesting. Which made for immersion and entertainment at the highest value. It's a really fun movie to watch and it does not fault in the pacing of the plot and unfolding the story.

This one is no different as far as the plot goes and is predictable. I am giving it high marks for the look of the movie, however. Pretty people, pretty costumes and make-up, pretty places, good special effects. Fight scenes are just OK with the standard fast editing so you can't tell what's going on, and of course we have the ubiquitous boring car chase that I wish movies would stop doing. There is one flawed scene towards the beginning of the movie where the space ship flies into a bunch of trees and exposes the futuristic city. The city is completely lifeless! No cars, trains, people, other flying machines, etc. Weird. Did they run out of money for the effects? Overall a visual feast but not much else. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First I gotta say is not as good as everyone says it is it is a good movie but it has problems. First Micheal B. Jordan great actor well cast as Killmonger but it didn't feel right as to this point Micheal B. Jordan had portrayed the protagonist. His character was well written and I felt as he should not have been killed off he should have been kept around for the sequel. A positive is its limited amount of action scenes the movie is mostly about Waknada and its politicians and it does knot have a lot of action scenes but when thy come there amazing this movie has great effects, great directing, great cinematography, I definitely recommend this movie but dont let the hype get to you Expand

+ Killmonger is a really good MCU villain with an actual sympathetic backstory and believable motivation with a great performance by Michael B Jordan

- Killmonger does not have enough screen time and it takes half the movie for him to actually make a presence
- The action scenes apart from the casino/Korea are all bland and forgettable which is really bad especially for a superhero movie
- The CGI is really noticeable and is absolutely terrible in the final fight

Minor Nitpicks
.The first after credit scene really should've just been the ending though it is understandable to end where the film began
.Since this film is set right after Civil war, it is kind of weird how they brushed over T.Chaka's death

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Black Panther offers a fresh, new perspective from the washed down, mediocre genre Marvel is famous for. It is directed by Ryan Coogler, known for his previous movies Creed and Fruitvale Station. The movie follows the main protagonist T’Challa, played by Chadwick Boseman, who is both king and the legendary Black Panther, protector of the fictional African country of Wakand

The opening scenes feature much needed exposition, explaining how millions of years ago a meteorite made entirely of “Vibranium” struck Africa, giving the flora unique properties. One such fruit gives the user Black Panther’s superhuman abilities. As such, the Black Panther is tasked with protecting the nation of Wakanda safe from outside influence. This leads to conflict later on as the Black Panther of the modern world is tasked with either keeping traditions or embracing outside contact to the modern world. The second exposition sequence features a flashback of T’Challa’s uncle living in Oakland and getting mixed up in urban gangs. This scene sets up the hard hitting underlying theme of urban struggles minorities face. Next, the movie cuts to T’Challa being coronated king of Wakanda, setting up his struggle with his close advisors and even his own family members.

Black Panther broke many boundaries with its almost entirely black main cast. This is especially fitting as he was Marvel’s first black superhero, being first introduced in 1966. The acting, for the most part, was everything you would expect from a multi-billion dollar company. The acting by Andy Serkis as Ulysses Klaue, one of the main protagonists, and Forest Whitaker’s role as T’Challa’s mentor Zuri especially stood out to me. The acting had both Marvel’s light-heartedness and natural weight when it needed to. Coogler’s directing was the best thing to happen to Marvel’s ever expanding universe. If you have seen 2015’s Creed, you will understand Coogler’s unique directing style emphasizes the character’s motivation and sense of reality.
In Black Panther, there is almost a sense of two movies being put together into one. The first one being the classic Marvel movie, action-packed and thrilling to watch. And the second one having a genuinely distinct sense of authenticity in Coogler’s directing. If someone were to edit all the action out of the movie, you would not be able to tell it is a Marvel movie. It was honestly disarming to be able to feel real emotion coming from a Marvel movie. It has a more realistic, grittier tone than any other Marvel movie, it almost felt like a Dark Knight Movie, and I liked it.

The themes established early in the movie are clearly resolved by the end, which is rare for any superhero movie to get right. This is arguably Coogler’s biggest achievement with the film. In the end, after the main antagonist is defeated, T’Challa does the right thing. He opens up Wakanda to the world and establishes social outreach programs throughout the world. It offered a perfect ending to the film.

Marvel took a risk bringing on Coogler, and it paid off, big time. I don’t think any other director could have made a better adaptation of Black Panther. It is definitely a film to check out, or atleast watch on Netflix in a few months. I look forward to see what Coogler does in the future, hopefully Marvel brings him back to work on their other movies.

Wakanda Forever!

Marvel’s Black Panther will forever hold a place in Academy Awards history as the very first superhero movie to be nominated for Best Picture. It is also only the second comic book movie to be nominated for Best Picture—the first was Skippy in 1931 (which was my favorite of the Best Picture nominees for that year). Black Panther is also notable for being a major studio movie that features a predominantly black cast and crew. It was the highest grossing film of 2018, received critical acclaim, and now has been nominated for 7 Academy Awards. Despite all of that, Black Panther is most notable of all for standing out amongst the din and spectacle other superhero movies and giving us memorable characters and a new and exciting country: Wakanda.

The fictional African nation of Wakanda is a feast for the eyes. The costumes for its people blend traditional African motifs with a sleek futuristic sensibility with creative and impressive results; it’s no surprise costume designer Ruth E. Carter has received an Oscar nomination for her work. Production designers Hannah Beachler and Jay Hart have received much deserved Oscar nominations for creating the look of Wakanda. The visuals of both interiors and exteriors are exciting and dazzling. The design for the snowy mountain homeland of Wakanda’s reclusive Jabari tribe alone deserves an Academy Award. Most of all the production design creates a high-tech futuristic place that feels like it could be a part of the real world.

Of course, Black Panther is woven into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The African superhero first appeared in Captain America: Civil War, where the king of Wakanda was killed by terrorists making his son, Prince T’Challa, unexpectedly king. T’Challa also became the Black Panther, protector of Wakanda, aided by a super suit and magical potion that gives him super strength. The brilliance of the screenplay by director Ryan Coogler and co-writer Joe Robert Cole is it does not require you to have seen other Marvel superhero movies to enjoy or understand the characters or plot. This might be the most accessible film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe aside from the first Iron Man back in 2008.

Chadwick Boseman plays T’Challa/Black Panther and he does a good job of playing not just a believable superhero but also a believable leader of a country. Though T’Challa is the main character, the stand out characters and performances are in the supporting cast. Michael B. Jordan as Killmonger is easily the most memorable and interesting villain of any Marvel movie. Killmonger is a living breathing person (not just a big CGI bully like Thanos) with understandable though not admirable motivations. T’Challa’s allies are the mostly female and all badass warriors and scientists of Wakanda. Letitia Wright plays Shuri, T’Challa’s younger sister. She is the Q to his James Bond, inventing cutting-edge, high-tech gadgets and since they’re siblings the characters have a lively back and forth banter. Lupita Nyong’o is T’Challa’s ex-girlfriend and Wakanda’s chief spy, Nakia. Danai Gurirais Okoye, Wakanda’s tough and unflappable general. Martin Freemanis good comic relief as a fish-out-water CIA agent awestruck by Wakanda.

I think part of the reason for Black Panther’s success with audiences and critics and the reason it doesn’t feel like just another superhero movie is its story follows the template of a James Bond movie rather than a superhero movie. There is even a memorable action scene set in a posh casino followed by a car chase. The rest of the action sequences are not as jarring or bombastic as those from The Avengersmovies. You can follow what is happening and where and who it is happening to; you can actually be engaged in the action. Moreover, there’s reason for the action. Killmonger’s sincere but villainous motivations and T’Challa’s dilemma in being both a protector and a leader add substance to superhero spectacle

When you see Black Panther, you are treated to an all star cast who brings their game that's better than A. Chadwick Boseman kills it at T'Challa, and is able to bring the emotional moments of the movie to the forefront. Michael B. Jordan should be praised for not only playing the second/third best Marvel villain, but for playing a complex character that brings the alagory of racism and hatred to life. I would say things about the rest of the cast, but you should honestly take my word for it as trying to say anything else would spoil the movie for you. The music from both Kendrick Lamar and composer Ludwig, fill the atmosphere and embrace African culture to the fullest extent possible, provide a soundtrack that is onpar with Guardians. The cinematography is amazing as a whole, but that is what you should expect from cinematographer Rachel Morrison. Everything in Wakanda feels authentic and embraces the vibrant culture of African people and does so in a way that is aethestically pleasing, and true to who the people are. It's unique and yet familiar. Plus, they don't hammer in a message so hard like how you'd expect a film like this to be. It takes its time with telling a story in a way that the message can unfold naturally to the viewer, rather than Whiplashing like J.K. Simmons. And all this is made possible thanks to writer/director Ryan Coogler, who has given the best stand alone Marvel movie since Guardians. Without him, this movie would not have worked the way it did. I love Black Panther, and I personally don't think you have to be black or white to love it too. Because if a movie can just stick with you after you left, and you'd be willing to watch it, then watch it again, then that's all that really matters. I love this movie and I hope you will too.

Just that it wasn't worth all the hype. The only thing it has to be a unique MCU film would be that it had was the majority of people from black community as its cast members. I am not criticizing that, but that's NOT a legit reason to hype it up so much. .
.
Good : It was whatever the first Thor movie couldn't be. In other words, it was "Thor" (2011) on Wakanda and better. It has some fantasy elements regarding the "Black Panther formula" and at the same time, it is quite of a sci fi too, and on the sideline it's also a crime film. These themes hold together very cohesively and make the movie a solid piece of art, on the whole. For the first time in an MCU movie, a villain was good. Killmonger is probably my second favorite MCU villain till date, the first one being Thanos. That character was well written to say the least. We knew where he was coming from, his motives, what he is up to and why. He is the best part of this movie. Many of the heist and crime film vibes it had was very interesting in the scenario they set up for this movie. The character interactions and the dynamic between various characters were good. Some funny scenes and dialogues land properly (while some don't, it's an MCU movie, after all). While watching this film, you won't want to skip any part of it, even though, in the end, you might be saying, "is that it?! Dafuq?!!" But most importantly, it gives you a really good introduction to Black Panther. We can get behind this hero for good. The character arc they give to him is excellent. .
.
Mixed : A lot of it feels like parts of Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy. The "sci fi" part feels quite like the stuff going on between Batman and Fox. The establishment of the character of Killmonger was (in a subtext) similar to how we got introduced to The Joker in "The Dark Knight" or to Bane in "The Dark Knight Rises". Also, some scenes are quite similar to interrogation scenes of "The Dark Knight". I am not saying that it was a ripoff of Nolan's films. It might be the same in the source material they adapted, I don't know. But noticing those themes being dealt in a similar way, makes it kind of a mixed bag. The movie, also, apparently "kills" off a character, which doesn't feel so compelling because they were to be back in future films (which had already been announced or were seen in the trailer of Infinity War). Not saying that the way they killed off the character was bad. If we didn't know about him being back in Infinity War, it would've made a solid impact. But, we know about him being back. So, it wasn't much interesting. .
.
Bad : Many fights and scenes in the film are super clichéd. Not only that you can predict what will happen, you can even predict what kind of a dialogue will close that scene, and what will be the immediate consequence for the character who gave that piece of dialogue. The third act of the movie was just plain generic third act of a superhero movie with a lot of clichés and dumbed down "Captain America: Civil War" conditions with some of kind of "Lord of the Rings" vibe. .
.
Conclusion : "Black Panther", for me, was some kind of a mixed bag. It was surely overhyped, but wasn't so bad of an overhyped movie. On the whole, a solid entertainer. Not something like Infinity War or Iron Man or Avengers or Civil War that will be talked for a long time. .

It feels weird when battles go on and there's no blood on sight. The thing that makes this movie great it's the story, it came in a great time and the moment it had to. When you leave the theaters you feel for Killmonger, you get him the most, and other political messages hidden here and there between the dialogue are great too. Humor was very minimal, but it was great. Overall, it's the 1st Marvel Studios film to care about the whole cast and that's a step in the right direction. Expand

For a characterI have to agree with the critics - Black Panther is definitely the best MCU movie so far. Truly well written characters, great camaraderie between them, and very heavy underlying themes, unlike your typical comic book movie. For a character that I was never familiar with via comics, Black Panther is an instant fan favourite, and that's not an easy task. It's so much easier to make Spider-Man or the Hulk or Wolverine likeable. To an extent, Iron Man had a similar task on it's hand as he wasn't really an A lister for casual,non comic fans and RDJ just blew our minds. Chadwick Boseman has that same effect minus the eccentricity. He's more Captain America than Iron Man clearly, principles, valor and all that. As a movie, I've never seen anything like it in the MCU, if not for the introduction of Black Panther in the hero heavy Civil War, it might be a rather difficult task reaching casual audiences - that was a masterstroke marketing wise. The connection to MCU (as well as being a run up to Infinity War) is a big advantage and will bring in the green, but not to take away from the fact that it's just a very good standalone movie and an excellent origin story. I wish the villain had more screen time but Michael B Jordan does well with the little time he has and isn't a typical one dimensional villain. I just wish that conflict between them was fleshed out more. Is this my #1 Marvel movie? That title still belongs to Iron Man, but while Iron Man was fun, Black Panther is just stellar. Since it's comic book movies you can see why my # 1 doesn't have to be the best one. Bottom line is, I can't wait to see Black Panther in Infinity War strutting it out with the rest of the Avengers.

Sure, the highly-publicized aspects of this film are innovative: an almost all-black cast from a rich, technologically advanced African country, the fierce female warriors and the villain who has close ties to the good guys. But what was mostSure, the highly-publicized aspects of this film are innovative: an almost all-black cast from a rich, technologically advanced African country, the fierce female warriors and the villain who has close ties to the good guys. But what was most impressive cinematically was the magnificent art direction: the imaginary locations are spectacular, the sci fi elements are cool and the costumes are fantastic. The surprise was how much drama is involved. Sure, there are the requisite action scenes, but there's a lot of talk about pride, moral responsibility and other lofty subjects. The cast is loaded with top notch actors, who turn in serious, dedicated performances. Ryan Coogler is one of the most promising directors today and he's brought his socially conscious vision to bear, while still managing to entertain. (As usual, stay thru the credits for a coda, then a teaser.) Expand

Black Panther picks up right after the events of Captain America:Black Panther may not be the first leading African American star in a superhero movie but it by far one of the most impactful and memorable ones to ever come out and exist. Black Panther picks up right after the events of Captain America: Civil War following Chadwick Boseman (T’Challa/Black Panther) and the rise of a new king and the struggles that come from the responsibilities of it. Performance wise everyone did a flawless job, between the accents of the Wakanda people to the beautiful, Blade Runner like city designed to the artistic fight scenes and tightly written dialogue creates a movie worth watching. Every character, even Stan Lee with his famous cameo, just come off with such power and leaves the viewers with such impact and lots to think about from each line of dialogue delivered. Both Boseman and Jordan make the ranks of fans and critics favorite characters in the MCU to date along side with the array of supporting actors (Freeman, Gurira, Nyong’o, Whitaker, Kaluuya, and Serkis). Action wise this movie is visually stunning. With Coogler transferring his use of beautiful follow cams from Creed and using the same Cinematographers from Creed and Kingsman: The Secret Service and Kingsman: The Golden Circle to choreograph the fights and film them so flawlessly and beautifully makes Black Panther one of the best action movies of the year by far. Special Effects look beautiful with the Kinetic Suits and the Vibranium infused weapons used by the Wakanda warriors and Boseman. Each site of the city gets more and more beautiful with its subtle yet so appealing to the eyes. By far my favorite was the kinetic energy used when the Black Panther suit was charged up. Ryan Coogler gave it his all with Black Panther and didn’t hold back a single bit with is beautifully written film that was directed so perfectly. I was a fan when I saw his work with Jordan on Fruitvale Station back in 2014 and loved his work even more with yet again Jordan in Creed and how Coogler has cemented himself in with the MCU as being one of the best directors working to date. My overall Score for the film has to be a 9.5/10 Expand

Just look at any of the positive reviews & see all the downvotes on every single one of them. Any other film does that have that issue, and that's because it was decided well before this movie came out by certain people that it was "racist towards white people," or "propaganda," just because of it being a primarily black cast.

In 2018, people literally cannot see past race. This movie was destined to be called "racist" regardless of what it did. The MCU has been around for 10 years, yet because one movie has a primarily all black cast it's "leftist propaganda?" Riiiighhttt...I'm not a leftists in any way, nor am I black (I'm white), but it was clear in the comments of every article leading up to this movie that people just can't be civil about stuff like this. They see faults in EVERYTHING, thinking it's all some elaborate conspiracy to remove white people from movies (or other idiotic similar ideas). As if the MCU isn't FILLED with white people, yet ONE movie that stars a black guy is to much? The character has been around for decades people... How is every other character ok, but having a movie staring a black one "pandering?" It's not. It's just your inability to move out of the political realm & think everything is some "war" on your stupid ideology. It's a friggin' movie...get a life & stop being triggered by anything that's not all-white. The best way to know they didn't watch the movie? Complaining about "oh the evil white people!" Yeah...that wasn't a theme whatsoever. The main villain is black, and he happens to be one of the BEST villains in the MCU. Including the non-movie side of the MCU, Loki, Kingpin, Kilgrave, Vulture, Ego (somewhat) & now Killmonger are some of the best baddies Marvel has put out there. The movie is set in Africa, and in a fictional country called Wakanda. Customs & traditions are based on African tribal culture mixed in with highly advanced technology hidden away from the world. Are there certain themes black people can relate with more-so than white people? Sure, that's to be expected. And what's wrong with that? There are endless movies with themes I relate with already and others couldn't, so why should I care if not 100% of the movie connects with me on some deep level? The overall message of doing the right thing, reaching out to help others, and uniting in the face of hardship & struggle instead of isolating yourself and only looking out for you alone is great.

And that's the exact thing we were taught in church, in school growing up and by our parents, yet suddenly now that we're adults we're supposed to be only concerned with ourselves? When others are hurt, hungry, helpless, bullied, sick, poor, etc. it's better to come together in times of crisis, lift each other up, and extend a helping hand...not cut yourself off & isolate yourself from your neighbors & hope the crisis doesn't affect you. Historically it ALWAYS backfires & makes things worse, and eventually you will suffer in some way from it. That's what this movies primary message is. That's what most every religious prophet in the judeo-christian religion teaches as well. And as I said, historically that's what we've learned too...World War 2 was only 75 years ago, and look what happened when everyone didn't want to intervene & stop the Nazi's rising to power. We tried to ignore them, appease them, and excuse the obvious red flags & warning signs. And people kept thinking "as long as it's not us, we shouldn't get involved!" Didn't work out so well...

And no, this movie didn't propose interfering in everyone else's lives. It literally said if you're able to HELP (key word) your neighbors & fellow man, you should do so if possible. The dialogue, the acting, the action, the pacing & the storytelling was all top notch for a comicbook movie. There were flaws like the CGI not being very good in several parts, or the short screen time of a certain character, but there weren't any movie-breaking issues. The movie wasn't as formulaic as many MCU movies, but it didn't break new ground in many areas either. Overall, it was a very well-told story that did justice to a great comic book character. I'd give it an 8.5 if possible, but if I had to pick between an 8 or a 9, I'd lean 9 since there weren't any glaring issues anywhere in the movie. Definitely recommend for REAL comic book fans & MCU fans.

If you're thin skinned & easily inflamed by trying to approach everything as if it were speaking to you on a political level, just stay home. You'll surely find something to get triggered about, just as anyone who looks hard enough can twist everything into whatever they want to think.

Yes, it's well made with great visuals and good characters, but I feel that's it's still a little bit too run-of-the-mill with it's story telling. The plot and story feel incredibly cliche and predictable and I was a little bit disappointed with the lack of storytelling risks. Yes, the movie takes some risks not usually seen in Hollywood like having a superhero movie take place in Africa and exploring/incorporating traditionally african culture, but the unique aesthetics are effectively the only major risks. The villain was probably the best part. Much more flushed out and understandable than most other Marvel villains. Also, I LOVED that T'Challa wasn't your typical wise-cracking snobbish MCU hero like Iron man, Thor, StarLord, and Dr. Strange who constantly make quips and comedic one-liners. I like comedy, but at times it can get too annoying in MCU films. Made T'Challa much more tolerable and likeable.

So yes, this movie is entertaining and it does more things right than it does wrong, but it's just a bit too generic. 7/10

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a really well made movie with some deep political messages- but the reason it is not a 10 is due to its tone. Part of me wanted it to stick to being a kids movie and another part wanted it to get darker and more gruesome. A lot of kids will not get the scenes that are inverted iconic moments from Roots or the references about "the sun never setting on the Wakandan Empire." Also, there a couple of CGI moments that don't look the best. But it is certainly one of the best marvel films that I've seen due to its acting, writing, the nuances, and how it is unapologetically political. I'm really glad this movie has all the success it has, while some of the critics heralding it as the second coming could check themselves a bit, one should not let that diminish the fact it is a great movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of my favorite Marvel and superhero movies and one of my favorite movies of all time. The writing and screenplay were stupendous. The acting from Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Letitia Wright, Danai Gurira, Lupita Nyong'o, Winston Duke, Martin Freeman, and Andy Serkis was outstanding. The costumes were phenomenal especially Chadwick Boseman's, Angela Bassett's, Letitia Wright's, Michael B. Jordan's, and Danai Gurria's. The sets were excellent especially Wakanda. The soundtrack was terrific especially the songs All the Stars and Pray for Me. The visual effects were great but sometimes they weren't to real looking. This is a A+ movie. Expand

The characters in the film are full of depth and their relationships with each other are developed and written really well. Each character is given time to shine in the film with heartfelt motivation and genuine depth. The script in the film is great as well, creating some excellent dialogues and remarkable scenes that are emotionally powerful. The production design is also great, with brilliant use of colour and impressive mix of tradition and technology in the settings of the film. Combining the amazing production design and the fantastic costume design, a highly realistic nation and culture of the fictional country Wakanda is created. The cinematography, acting and music are solid in the film. The film also successfully explores political, social and cultural themes with just the appropriate emphasis within the fantastic narrative. The action sequences are competent, but they are flawed with occasional over editing, and some CGI that look unfinished. Fortunately the action scenes contain great emotional weight from the characters. Another flaw of the film is its pacing, which makes the film feel like it’s split into two, and the pacing of the second half of the film sometimes feel too quick. The pacing issue also caused some cliched moments. Ultimately, Black Panther contains obvious but minor flaws, nevertheless the film is an immensely satisfying film that is certainly one of the best in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 8.6/10 Expand

T'Challa is the hero I've been hoping to see for a long time in these movies. He's strong, brave, complex without being dark or a jerk. The supporting cast is awesome, with his sister Shuri (who almost steals the show), his ex Nakia, CIA agent Everett K. Ross, and guard Okoye make up an awesome team. They are fun to watch and each gets real stand out moments. Okoye getting my personal favorite action moment of the whole movie. The action feels fresh and exciting. Focusing on smaller fights over grand confusing CGI spectacles. It all looks very cool. There's a car chase midway through the movie with Claw that is particularly awesome. The story feels much more adult than most superhero movies. Dealing with the complexities of how to be part of a world that may not like you but you have to do your best to make better anyway. The corruption of power and how the powerful manipulate the fears of others to gain more power. It also stands alone. You will not need to see the past 10 years worth of Marvel movies to understand anything (aside from one post credit thing). Okay, let's address it. There is a lot of alt-right hate out there against this movie. It's a movie about black people who are strong and independent. It shines a light on the damage caused by white colonialism. So, of course, they will hate it, say insane untrue things to try and stop people from liking it. And this is how they will be as long as they get their marching orders from Infowars, fox news, and Trump. Ignore them, decide for yourself. Remeber it's only a movie, so breathe and calm down. If superhero movies aren't your thing, this might not change your mind but if you've liked them but wanted something more mature then this is it! Expand

Following Chadwick Boseman’s character T’Challa as he returns from the location of Civil War, we are introduced to the bustling world of Wakanda, which is undoubtably the most colorful place in the entire MCU. The immersion is incredible - a grand introduction via a flyover of the entire city, accompanied by a terrific score from Ludwig Goransson (those drums are amazing). The way Coogler goes about exploring the culture of this world is invigorating, and he devotes the entire first half to this. When it comes to the action, it is largely hit or miss. It is quite noticeable, at specific points, when a character changes from a stuntman to a CGI model, which can get quite distracting. The majority of the fights don’t provide enough of the satisfying elements of other Marvel outings, and, honestly, the direction of the action could be better (Nothing against Coogler). Also, the seemingly poignant messages expressed throughout the film’s runtime sometimes come across as hamfisted, which was kind of a set back. All in all though, Black Panther makes up for its somewhat disappointing action sequences with a charming story, incredible characters, the best Marvel score to date, and terrific performances. And, most importantly, it’s a lot of fun. Expand

Money talks, and right now the film's box office dominance is sending a powerful and culturally important message to Hollywood and beyond. Stories of all colors and stripes are waiting to be told, and cinema fans are pining for fresh takes and innovative ways to convey those tales.

However--one way or the other--box office results should never be mistaken for a barometer of a film's quality. 'Black Panther' brings the fictional nation of Wakanda to life while shining a bright light on a handful of social justice issues that desperately need to be addressed. I particularly like their bad-ass female version of the Praetorian guard. But in end, those highlights aren't enough to overcome the handful of illogical moments scattered throughout the plot, the hewing of action scenes towards a more juvenile audience, and the frequently lame dialogue in which Michael B. Jordan's character is easily the worst offender.

It is one of the best Marvel films and a fresh instalment into the cinematic universe. However, it still falls short in many aspects that the average blockbusters and Marvel properties always do... The writing is a bit better than usual, in that it has one character with purpose and a satisfying arc, and certain story elements carry more weight than usual. Still, the film falls into the usual trap of inconsistent characters, logic that the film explains but then contradicts all the time, and a predictable narrative with poor pacing, evolution and too much lazy exposition. The costumes and soundtrack were better than expected, but the visual effects are terrible considering the standard of recent films in the franchise. The direction overall was slightly more aware than average but felt bland at times with a lack of technique and intelligence. Most of the performances were competent and the score was surprisingly good. Overall, it is somewhat better filmmaking and writing than most Marvel films, but was elevated by the politics and social influence it had. Expand
