This film is beautiful and a visual masterpiece. The characters were all flawlessly acted and the performances were perfect. Michael B. Jordan's character, Erik Killmonger is easily the best character in the film. I only one minor problem with the film and that was the monorail fight. The CGI just looked a bit cartoony but it was still enjoyable. In the end, this film is getting a well deserved 9.8/10. PS, Black Panther: The Album just adds on to how amazing this film is.… Expand

"Black Panther" is a Marvel movie with director Ryan Coogler’s stamp all over it. No BTS puppeteering here.

An excellent Marvel movie with great acting and special effects. Some of the physics is unbelievable, but overall the action scenes and fight scenes are very well done. The characters are excellently fleshed out. Highly recommended.

Great action sequences, solid directing, and a decent villain for once. I'm glad that the movie avoided most of that "Disney syndrome" where you can barely make out the director's style and themes. Coogler not only managed to represent his depictions of culture and society elegantly, but he also was able to incorporate some of his own directing style as well. That breathtaking single shot from the fight scene in Korea keeps popping back into memory. The characters were all well rounded, and the actors all captured them flawlessly. The excellent score also helped propel this movie further, and helped generate this enchanting aura. I'm also really relieved that they included less of that Disney humor, although there were a couple of tension killers and joke that make you vomit uncontrollably. But moving on the the bad stuff: I felt that the pacing of the movie was slightly off, especially in the first act of the movie. I also thought that MBJ could have gave more effort in his performance, and I never believed that he fully sold his role. Other problems included some of the writing, visual effects, and lack of screen time for some characters, especially for the villains. Overall, I thought this was an action packed movie filled with a decent story and inspiring characters, and its welcome arrival into the MCU bring it something that it was missing for a long time.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. May contain spoilers....
This movie met and exceeded all my expectations. The lead, Boseman, is superb and believable. He plays an compassionate but troubled leader (King) of the technologically superior but aloof Wakanda. His supporting cast of strong female and male actors is also strong. He has a fun relationship with his little sister, a respectful but nonromantic one with his all female spear wielding warrior bodyguards, and sort-of-there love. It is basically King Arthur's court set in Wakanda, an imaginary African nation. He is defeated in single combat by an abandoned descendant of the royal family and loses his Kingdom. The usurper, Jordan, then proceeds to immediately declare war on the world for past wrongs to the inhabitants of Africa, and off we go! Of course as Jordan will find out, it's not all in one man and the women of his life come to the rescue as well as an old rival who helps out because of his grudging respect of the the newly made and usurped king. The acting is good, there is character development in the lead, who learns that tradition is useless if it has lost it's purpose; strong female leads; great action sequences; political statements; and you even can feel something for the usurper, even though you know he has to go down. Go see it, people will be talking about it Monday at the water fountain.… Expand

The story is more about Wakanda and the royal family in general. The decisions they made and how it impacted their future and past. This is pretty much a story about the ethics of powers, personal choices and political agendas. I didn't realized how much the music was good. Of all the cultural african reference that went into the movie, the music surely stands out. The FX were good. I must say I was frustrated in the cinema theatres about the lack of contrast and clarity for the night scenes. However on my TV the Black Panther night scenes are much more better. There was fun jokes all along the movie and I like the humour in general. It was the kind you do when you are between friends and family. I though it was the most personal story to date, bringing very close to Iron Man 1. Apart from the strange Rhynos, I like a lot of this movie. I give the movie a 78%. And just like Spiderman, it put the responsibility of superheroes powers as something to not take lightly. And when you think about it, he is the only superhero with a country to manage. I think Marvel did exploit that fact very well.… Expand

What this film shares in common with those two is a strong directorial voice: it's not a coincidence thatAs a fan of MCU films, I'd place 'Black Panther' in my top three, along with 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' and 'Thor: Ragnarok'. What this film shares in common with those two is a strong directorial voice: it's not a coincidence that these are the three least 'MCU formula' films in the canon. 'CA:TWS' was a straight-up spy thriller with visceral, grounded action sequences that also offered a commentary on state surveillance, while 'T:R' was a more purely escapist fantasy adventure-comedy. Both were great. 'Black Panther' also takes the MCU in a new direction: it's an afro-futurist science fantasy, a shakespearian tale of dynasty and betrayal, and an unabashedly political statement. Let's be clear: this is a superhero film produced under a Disney-owned banner, but it also has things to say about our world aside from "bad guys ought to be punched". If you're the kind of person who thinks that, say, singers should "shut up and sing" when their songs don't fully agree with your worldview then you might be annoyed by this movie.

The dynamic in Black Panther is distinctly different from other Marvel films. Unlike most of the other rebellious super-vigilantes, BP is a hero, but he's also the king. His nation, Wakanda, is dizzyingly advanced but also overwhelmingly traditionalist. And it is also an *African* nation, and that is a major point of discussion within the film. Given the history of colonialism and slavery, what would a hyper-advanced African nation owe to people outside of its borders? This issue, and BP's journey to answering it, provides the central tension of the film. Frankly it's (unfortunately) bold for a big-budget Hollywood film to engage with 'sensitive' issues like the historical/current oppression of black folks. But for the most part this is handled really well. Some reviewers have accused Disney/Marvel of 'shoehorning' a political agenda into this film, and I couldn't disagree with them more. The story of Black Panther simply *cannot* be un-political. The Thor movies can afford to be apolitical because Thor himself wouldn't be touched directly by anti-black racism. Black Panther and his kingdom wouldn't have that luxury. It's useful to have a movie address that.

PRO: This film does a fantastic job of establishing Wakanda and its people. The cast is honestly incredible - BP has the current best dramatic actor on TV in a minor supporting role, for cripe's sake. Boseman is solid as T'Challa, but Letitia Wright as Shuri, Winston Duke as M'baku, and especially Danai Gurira as Okoye are all scene-stealers. Michael B. Jordan as Killmonger ultimately stands out the most for me. He's menacing and charismatic. Also Andy Serkis seems like he's having a legit great time. The costumes are fantastic. The humour isn't overdone and works really well in places. The prominence of the female characters is a big plus - after so many movies starring white dudes named Chris (8 of them, if you don't count the Avengers films!!) it was refreshing to see an MCU film that foregrounded both black characters and women. The Wakandan tech shown in the film was inventive and interesting. The hand-to-hand fight scenes were well-done, as was a particular big battle scene. But ultimately the journey that T'Challa makes toward defining his rule, and his conflict with the main antagonist (who was ruthless but also at times sympathetic) really provided the meat for this film.

CON: There were times when the CGI looked a bit on the rubbery side - especially when figures (mostly T'Challa himself) were flying through the air. And it would have been nice to have the film acknowledge the romantic relationship between Ayo and Okoye that has been established in the comics (but this won't be an issue for the average MCU fan, obvs).

Black Panther is a great superhero film. I'd really suggest taking with a grain of salt any of the low-score reviews that claim that it is 'just another cookie-cutter Marvel film' or call it 'formulaic' (they haven't seen the film at all) or make any reference to reviews being bought by Disney (they are almost certainly DCEU fans with an axe to grind). And don't be put off by complaints about "identity politics". I'm a white dude and I loved the film. We've had literally *every single other* MCU film led by white guys - it's refreshing to mix up the formula for once and get some different perspectives. Check it out, for sure.… Expand

Did anyone else get lion king flash backs when they go into the spirit world? Just me?

In all seriousness though this is a win for proving that minority casts with strong female leads can still make money and good films. Can we give Danai, Lupita and Letitia a spin off? Worst thing about the film, CG is a little off at times, not terrible but takes you out of the action at times.

While the rest of the movie is not your typical Marvel movie, the first-hour certainly is. Killmonger is completely underused, he shows up and then doesn't come back in the film until 20 or 30 minutes before it ends. The CGI is inexcusably bad for a movie like this, to the point where it distracts me from enjoying the finale, which is an OK finale to begin with.

They all start to look and sound the same after a while. That’s probably why they were more effective on comic book pages then on TV and movie screens. However, when something like the recent Wonder Woman film or Black Panther comes along I’m forced to rethink my attitude about the genre. Great storytelling, compelling characters, and visually captivating. More superhero movies like this, and I won’t be so quick to trash them.… Expand

Just saw this movie yesterday in 4DX. Really enjoyed the background story and to see so much African culture in it. The action scenes were awesome and the villian ( Killmonger ) is probably on of the most interesting characters in the MCU.

The negativization campaign promoted by DC fanboys and Alt-Right is USELESS. Everyone already knows that they are trying to lower the average movie rating at all costs, which may not be great, but it's at least great.

Das erste Zeichen seiner Doppeldeutigkeit ist die Tatsache, dass die Comic-Verfilmung über das gesamte politische Spektrum hinweg begeistert begrüßt wird: von den Verfechtern der schwarzen Emanzipation, die in ihm die erste große Hollywood-Manifestation schwarzer Macht sehen, über genügsame Linksliberale, die mit seiner vernünftigen Lösung sympathisieren – Bildung und Hilfe statt Kampf –, bis zu einigen Alt-Right-Vertretern, die in der Behauptung einer schwarzen Identität und Lebensweise mühelos eine weitere Version von Trumps "America first" erkannten.

But if you go into this movie with an open mind you will not be disappointed. The action, costumes, character development, humor and overall acting is top notch. My only nit pick was the CGI at the end was a bit jarring and inconsistent. Is it a perfect movie, nope. But what movie is? The director cherry picked the very best things from the source material and brought it to life. You will have fun at this movie. This was the perfect roll out for King T'Challa. Wakanda Forever!!!… Expand

Sadly being something that does still get stuck in the stereotypical traits of most Marvel Flicks. I wanted more culture, politics and internal conflict, almost espionage like thrills. Not intense over-the-top explosion battles. Also the cgi is really crap at a few moments.… Expand

While the formula remains the same, the atmosphere and locations are simply a joy to watch. Some of the acting and chemistry falls flat, especially with some of the more prominent roles, with the exception of Andy Serkis and Micheal B. Jordan KILLING it as the main antagonists, even if the script didn't do them any favors. The plot felt more like two separate episodes in a Netflix series, which isn't a big deal as long as you are aware of that going into the theater. Overall, I had an absolute blast with this movie and felt myself wanting to see more of Wakanda and its inhabitants. 7/10, needs improvement in the plot organization and script.… Expand

The biggest disappointment I have with this movie is that it doesn’t really differentiate itself from any other Marvel movie. I wouldn’t mind so much, but this movie is directed by RYAN COOGLER, aka the man who directed Fruitville Station and Creed. I almost never felt his distinctive vision for direction in this movie. All the times I did centered around Killmonger, the villian. One this movie DOES do differently from other MCU films is that the villain is the best part of the movie, which is usually the complete opposite in almost every other MCU film. Michael B. Jordan is both charismatic and heartbreaking in the role, and he was far and away the single best aspect of the movie. Every thing else ranged from good (the story and performances) to bad (the **** CGI). Like most MCU movies, it’s pretty average. I would give it a pass if it wasn’t for the fact that Ryan Coogler was directing, but because he was, I left the theatre very disappointed.… Expand

I liked it quite a bit. And I think a lot of Republicans or Conservatives actually don't realize that Black Panther is actually quite a good role model for Conservatives, let me explain why.

Where the film is strongest is in these areas.

-Visuals
-Story
-Revelations
-Role Models (This section is for Republicans and Conservatives, Especially)

Where the film is weakest in areas.

-History
-Racial Issues
-Side Characters (Particularly Villain Elements) -STRENGTHS

-Visuals: Visually I enjoyed all the purple and wild colors all over. The paint on the masks, the paint on the walls, the faces, the Art. This was just so well done that it was very atmospheric. It literally felt like we were in East Africa or Wakanda. The giant lips, the Rhinos, the people using the shields as cloaks. It was simple yet elegant. The only visual Marvel movie that would be better is Guardians of the Galaxy. And who could forget the dirt ancestor ceremony! That was just sheer coolness.

Simply put. Credit goes where credit is due. The artists did one hell of a job. The body markings were just cool.

-Story: Although I kind of got a vibe of Scar vs Muffasa from the Lion King. I actually found the motivations of the characters to be quiet tragic and well motivated. I'd be pissed to if someone killed my father and just left him there, only to find out that it was my uncle. Although I would be pressed to think that my fate would be fighting my fathers battles. Although I thought the tension of being a monarch was rather missing, but that went away when the villain showed up.

-Revelations: One thing I enjoyed about this movie was not revealing deaths or certain key plot points till later in the film. I think what a lot of films fail to execute on is actually showing how certain past events unfolded as certain present events unfolded. I like that quiet a bit.

-Role Models: This was actually a positive role model for black people. Why? The main character is show to care for his people more than himself. Put's his nation, family and traditions, first. While the villain is show to be aggressive, controlling, unhinged in his emotions, vengeful, and a warmonger. Black Panther represents what people who are conservative are all about. Family, Nation, Protecting Borders, helping the world when needed but not too much, tradition, honor and mercy. He marries into a black wife, lives in a very homogeneous society where all the people have the same values.

Ironically, the whole black liberation non-sense really isn't historically accurate, but the villain is pretty much a BLM supporter. He wants to wage war against non-blacks, wants to put them on top, etc. He's pretty much Black Hitler with daddy and racial issues. He dies, he is finished. He is not the strong one. That's all that matters.

-Weakness

History: It's kind of redundant, but hearing the whole “were slaves by white men” thing just kind of gets old after 160 Years. Also, it never made sense to me when the sister of black panther would call an American a colonizer, when they had no colonies in Africa. They also never touched up upon how Blacks sold other blacks, or how Jewish merchants profited from the Atlantic Slave Trade. There are numerous historic inaccuracies, but it's not a major weakness, because the film is technically fantasy. -Racial Issues: “White Wolf, Colonizer, Saving Another White Boy.” I mean clearly there were jabs at being white in this movie. I only ask if Captain America would say, Blacky, Slave or Black Bull, would it get the same treatment? Also his sister was kind of a rude, flicking his brother off and being just downright indecent at the start. Although later she gets better, not really a racial issue, but I just hate snarky rude arrogant women. What I'm trying to say is: CALL 1800 CHOKE DAT HO

-Side Characters (Villains) I really don't get how the main leader of the blue tribe just easily stops supporting the Black Panther, all over not killing the merchant villain. It just seems forced and lame. I mean, they're pretty much like really good friends, and all of a sudden that just goes out the window because some foreign prince killed a merchant. Also the white villain merchant died to quickly, was hoping he would actually be better. But he was also a throw away character for the most part. Overall I would give it an 8/10, and is about 100000000000 times better than Star Wars the Last Snowflake.… Expand

It breaks so many barriers and records simultaneously that it would be foolish not to notice that it's more than just a marvel movie:it's a seat at the table. This Oscar nominated (and winning) superhero story has a majority black cast ,set mainly in a highly evolved hidden African nation. It's brave inclusion of a reworked African dialogue, accents and afro-futurism is allow for a somewhat clichéd tale of a kings defense of his throne,family and country in the face of a righteous threat. Sure the story does rely on the marvel ordinary story formula but it does so in a never before seen context.… Expand

While the idea of this character seemed great on paper, specially looking at the performance of Chadwick Boseman in Civil War, the movie fails of a hero that doesn't shine as bright as the antagonist of the story.

This is one of the rare MCUWhile the idea of this character seemed great on paper, specially looking at the performance of Chadwick Boseman in Civil War, the movie fails of a hero that doesn't shine as bright as the antagonist of the story.

This is one of the rare MCU movies where the villain is more charismatic than the main character.

T'Challa in this movie is surprisingly bland and the character development that it went through in Civil War seems to not be there anymore.

Weak CGI effects and the glorification of what is essentially an absolutist monarchy based on a quasi-medieval society with Vibranium-based tech doesn't portray Wakanda as a "good country". The main story of the movie acknowledges this with a villain more empathetic to the viewer than the nobles of Wakanda.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Black Panther is a true masterpiece and has a finesse to it that we haven’t seen in any Marvel movie period since Spider-Man 2. The film pushes the race barrier of superhero films to much success, considering that in the whole movie there are only two substantive white actors. It’s filled with visual splendor and takes us on a fantastic journey into the technologically advanced nation of Wakanda, which was teased in the mid-credits scene of Civil War. The cultural approach of the movie is unique and not something other MCU installments have really done. Rather than simply take us on a tour through Wakanda, the filmmakers walk us through its history and how it came to be what it is at the time of the movie, which gives us an amazing lens through which to view this nation that we’re being introduced to. The action, which is superb, also has strong cultural roots, giving us fights that are intended to happen and unavoidable in a way that they’re not in other movies. Black Panther has some hilarious dialogue that is supplemented by the phenomenal cast performances, and makes some references of its own that teenage viewers are sure to understand. Killmonger is one of the best villains that we’ve seen in the MCU because he’s given a great backstory, some truly emotional moments, and actually convinces the hero to change his mind and take actions based on that that will forever alter Wakanda as a nation and civilization. T’Challa even tries to help Killmonger at the end of the film, creating an amazing hero-villain dynamic that we don’t see everyday. Despite having no powers of his own, Killmonger is a very intimidating and convincing villain and sets a possibly unbeatable bar for future villains and big-baddies. Through all of this, Black Panther is a superhero film and icon that can be looked at through multiple different perspectives: blockbuster entertainment, culture, academics, technology, etc. Black Panther has some of the best of what Marvel has to offer and I strongly recommend it to anyone who is a Marvel fan in general.… Expand
