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

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.

There are some political motives sticking out from here and there but whatever.

The main plot was pretty run of the mill, thought Michael B was definitely an above average Marvel villain. Mostly I really enjoyed the characters and the world-building of the different tribes. Black panther himself wasn't really that interesting of a character, but the supporting cast, especially the sister and general were very well written and acted. Nothing crazily creative or surprising narratively, but what it did, it did well. Expand

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.

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.

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.

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.

Now, that's not a great way to start a review, but the critics have absolutely adored this movie and hailed it as the greatest superhero movie of all time. It certainly is not. This film has some very amazing messages and the best MCU villain up to date (for now), the problem is that it seems like the critics have been caught up in both of those that they overlook the film's flaws. 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. Still, Black Panther is a pretty great Marvel film, filled with amazing messages and characters. It's just not as great as the critics say it is. B+ Expand

Although delved in all its greatness, at the end of the day it does kind of feel like just another entertaining Marvel flick. But other than some nitpicks, "Black Panther" comes out on top as one of the better Marvel movies. It's not just a good movie, it's a great one. Expand

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.

Auf einen Film wie Black Panther haben wir gewartet, wenn auch Black Panther nicht der Film ist, auf den wir gewartet haben. Wie das? 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. Wenn sich alle Seiten im selben Produkt erkennen, können wir sicher sein, dass dieses Produkt Ideologie in Reinform verkörpert.

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!!!

Not intense over-the-top explosion battles. Also the cgi is really crap at a few moments. Expand

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

After a flashback to the past the story deals with T’ChallaOne of the best Marvel solo movies. It has a good cast, an interesting story with a relatable moral dilemma and a strong villain that could be a great hero if things were different. After a flashback to the past the story deals with T’Challa becoming the next king of Wakanda. This is not granted as he has to fulfill a ceremony and not all groups / tribes in Wakanda are satisfied with the status quo. As sidenote: Wakanda is pretending to be an average African country but in truth they are far technological superior than anyone else and this is because of their Vibranium metal (Fictional metal with amazing properties far stronger than titanium). Meanwhile a strange soldier named Killmonger has a plan that can change everything. I am sorry to be vague here to avoid spoilers. The story is amazing. It deals with sins of the past, what makes a leader and responsibilities. Also the villain is really strong. His motives are understandable, he is intimidating and awesome. Like I said he could be a great hero if his past was different. For the actors we got a strong cast. Chadwick Boseman is the perfect choice for T’Challa. Michael B. Jordan as Killmonger is equally good and a favorite choice after Thanos for best MCU villain. I think I shorten it a bit a praise the whole cast and team behind the screen as it is well earned. The costumes, set and special effects were excellent too. Overall I think the praise is deserved and I also give a 10/10. Would recommend it for all MCU fans and even outside for the story as it is relatable. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Now that I'm far distanced from all the social media vitriol circulating from both fans and critics of this film (which in its time was horribly damaging and hurt a lot of friendships and race-relations, let's not forget), I can view this film a bit more objectively. For me, this is one of the better films of the MCU. It has a complex villain with motivations that aren't cliche, and the film touches on real-world issues that are relevant. That said, they do this rather clumsily at times and there are moments that really hurt the film's maturity level and could easily alienate viewers, as they have some jokes and comments in there that really feel like cheap jabs at white people from the filmmakers. The joke "another broken white boy for me to fix. this should be fun" presents a double-standard where if it was a person of another race and their race was mentioned like this, it would offend people. Maybe they should've just stuck to "American" instead of "white boy". It's demeaning to call a grown man a "white boy". I don't think the MCU is an appropriate venue for racial humor. I might have laughed at this in an adult-targeted film. I can take a joke, but in a film that is seen by general audiences this feels misplaced and irresponsible. Same can be said for when one of the protagonists calls the white guy a "colonizer", and that horribly cringey scene where the white guy gets censored by Wakandans barking like apes who will not allow him to speak. It's just plain weird and doesn't even really make sense in the context of the movie.

Aside from that though, I feel like the film has a lot of heart, poses challenging questions, gives, for the most part, reasonable answers, and has a lot of visual wonder and charm (though the quality of art and effects definitely wavers between astonishing and made-for-TV looking). A good film in the MCU, but with some problematic moments, but mostly good. One of the bigger weaknesses may be that the title character is a bit bland in comparison to some of the film's other more vibrant characters, but it does set up his sense of duty and morality, and shows his perseverance, so maybe we'll see some more growth from him in the next one.

I thought it was a joke! This is a good movie, I won't deny that, it actually has some social commentary about racism that superhero movies don't really have too often, it's competetively shot, it has some cool action scenes, solid acting for almost all the cast, but almost every other aspect was just bland and pretty standard, like the writing, the cinematography and the score (Many people seem to love the score but I thought it wasn't anything special even if it's good).
It has that basic superhero movie formula, the movie felt pretty predictable at times and the message about racism, while it's good to see a superhero movie talk about this topics, it's really standard and generic, nothing that changed my mind or anything.
And the CGI, oh my god it's maybe the worst CGI that a MCU movie has ever had, there was CGI that felt straight out of a PS2 game, it's shocking.

I mean this is a pretty competent movie, a pretty good one, but why is this nominated? Why was this nominated for best picture over other way better movies like Eight Grade or First Man, or even a superhero movie like Spider-Verse, in that case, Spider-Verse could've been nominated for that award! But nope, let's give it (the nomination) to Black Panther.
When I saw it I liked it but I never thought it was Oscar-worthy and I was shocked when I saw the reviews.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A terrific addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
This movie brings to the viewers subjects never seen before in the whole Marvel franchise. And it manages to be refreshing despite some same predictable old codes. Tackling some subjects did surprise me but it was made a certain finesse and strength that let the movie breathe without making it too serious or awkward. It gets political without making this fact the whole center of the film.

The soundtrack is the best I've ever heard in a Marvel movie. In addition to that it competes with others movie soundtracks that I may consider as perfect. Ludwig Göransson did an amazing job from A to Z with these orchestral fusions of trap and traditional drums to symbolize the subtle mix of high-level technology and old rituals that characterize Wakanda. Drums may sound a bit repetitive from time to time but I found that they evolve to some intensity in accordance with the pace of the movie. Of course how can't I mention that these pure tracks are embellished by Kendrick Lamar's typical touch and mastery. If few songs did appear in the final cut, they still remain as notable as powerful.

That pace remains a black point in my opinion since 'Black Panther' asks more than two hours to showcase multiple plots reuniting many characters in different timelines and with various objectives. More focus should have been helpful to me as the first half sees the storyline struggling to get going while the second half focuses mainly on fights that enventually interrupt the valuable and so far very interesting development of many characters.

CGI and special effects are another questionable aspect sinc I found there was few to be noticed. T'Challa's armor don't evoke much to me, starships are a bit ugly, weapons feel like toys and some scenes let us easily imagine the green screens. Fortunately these effects were very good on environment, skies and towns. Colors are not to my taste as I found the look of some artefacts too shiny some times (as the necklace) or just to plain and forgettable (as the hand of Andy Serkis).

Michael B. Jordan & Chadwick Boseman's acting skills are quite impressive, even if the last shares more his iconic face and prestance rather than actual acting skills. The presence of so many powerful and involved women is truly agreeable and definitely bring some fresh air in the MCU we know nowadays. In extension to that, the casting is really solid.

What I especially love is the evolution of characters that are moved by meaningful and meaningful values and desires, which tends to make us easily understand why they act or think the way the do.

Thank you for that and RIP Chadwick Boseman.

Enjoyed that!

'Black Panther', the 18th MCU film, is very good. I really like the world building of Wakanda, as well as the cinematography and costume design. The cast are, as expected, excellent as well.

Chadwick Boseman is terrific as T'Challa, as I knew he would be based on the glimpse we see of him in 2016's 'Captain America: Civil War'. He is the best actor here, but Danai Gurira runs him close. I'm a huge fan of Gurira's due to her performances in 'The Walking Dead' so knew I'd rate her here too, she's fun to watch - it's cool to see her weapon-wielding once again.

Elsewhere, Lupita Nyong'o is good and so is Letitia Wright; she's great in 2015's 'Urban Hymn', which I had seen her in previously. It's a fairly stacked cast, with the likes of Forest Whitaker, Andy Serkis, Daniel Kaluuya and Michael B. Jordan also appearing; Jordan's character isn't the best, but he himself is more than solid.

Why couldn't this be about white people with lots of money like my hero Donny and Iron Man. Waaah, a SJW ruined Marvel for me and now I have to rate a film I've never seen because that'll change EVERYTHING. #releasethesnydercut

It was only after the release of that movie that I saw everyone talking about it all the time, and that I had to watch all the movies before I could start watching IW. I had to watch all the movies so that I could catch up in time before Endgame. I had heard a little bit about some random guy named Black Panther getting snapped out by Thanos, but I really didn't care because I had never even heard about this guy my whole life. So after all the movies I had watched, Black Panther was next. I wasn't really interested in seeing this movie because it seemed so much culturally different, but I thought that if I had watched Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man without having known anything about them before, so I can do the same here also.

The first thing that strikes differently about this movie is that this is not exactly a character origin story. Black Panther was already previously introduced in Captain America: Civil War where his father had died, but he was never explained as to why or how he's the superhero. This is the movie which finally explains that part. The world thinks Wakanda is a poor country while in reality it is a powerhouse of vibranium. T'Challa is a leader and the saviour of the people. The king of Wakanda gets to be the Black Panther, for which they have to take the heart shaped herb that helps them acquire knowledge from all the previous Black Panthers.

Other than the superhero himself, N'Jadaka ie Killmonger believes he is the rightful ruler of the kingdom, because of which he challenges T'Challa. From Killmonger's point of view he should be the king because he wants to take revenge fromT'Challa's father T'Chaka for killing his father. The movie spends a good deal over it, such that it allows the viewer to sympathise with him, even though his actions are clearly wrong. Finally N'Jadaka beats T'Challa in the ceremonial fight which allows him to be the Black Panther instead. There are multiple moral dilemmas faced by the protagonists, as to whether let their kingdom be governed by someone who lets his emotions get the better of him or dare to overthrow their own king.

The moral dilemma is actually a very important point in the story, since in the scene where T'Challa, Shuri and Okoye are talking about this, Okoye says it's her duty to serve whoever sits on the throne no matter how the person is. That is a stark contrast from both T'Challa and N'Jadaka, since both of them see beyond their rules to see whom and what to fight for. The Wolf Tribe led by M'Baku is ready to help Black Panther, in spite of having previously faced a humiliating defeat by T'Challa in the Black Panther ceremony. While T'Challa makes allies along the way, N'Jadaka eliminates his allies.

Although the CGI was a bit off in some places, overall it was good. Since I had no idea what I was heading for, I didn't expect to see a Wakanda having such a high technology (I didn't watch any trailer before watching the movie or read any comics). The fight scenes were also pretty fun to watch, except for the Busan one. I didn't like it for some reason which I myself don't know. The acting was also very good. This movie absolutely deserved the Oscar for the costume design. I think it has the best interpretation of the suit as depticted in the comics (only Iron Man comes a close second since it's not as comicbook accurate).

Although this movie is not one of my favourites, it did leave some huge impacts on me. First of all, I have purchased almost all Black Panther comics. Secondly I have become a lot more open to watching movies from Africa, since now I won't be afraid of not understanding anything. And thirdly, it's something I will always remember Chadwick Boseman for. Rest in peace hero, you did a pretty great job.

It's the first Marvel film with a predominantly black cast and a black director. I also like a lot the African themes and motifs throughout the movie because I had never something like this before. This movie was a nice breath of fresh air. And it goes without saying the action scenes are amazing, especially the car chase scene. Killmonger is one of the best villains in the MCU because he's sympathetic to a degree. He makes certain good points, just like Thanos. And when you compare him to someone like Malekith from Thor 2 (I had to Google the name because I couldn't remember it) who is simply evil for the sake of it, it's obvious Killmonger is a good villain.

Chadwick Boseman is a fantastic Black Panther and I can hardly imagine anyone else in this role. I was so sad when I heard he had passed away. Rest in Power. Also, all these racists who spammed 0/10 reviews for political reasons because the movie features black people are laughably pathetic.

I wouldn't consider it a masterpiece, but for a Marvel movie, this one truly stands out amongst the rest. The fight scenes, the story, the soundtrack, and the characters make this completely different than any other superhero film I've watched. The movie visually looks amazing and the CGI is not as bad as I thought it would be. I love how they illustrated Wakanda and all the tribes and people within it. The characters are very likable and the actors who portray them did a great job. Although, like almost every other film, it does have its flaws. Despite the cringy jokes, some scenes and dialogue feel unnecessary. As if you took them out, it would make no difference or even matter to the original cut. Overall, this is a joy to experience and I would say that this is definitely worth your time and money. Expand

Killmonger was the villain I really respect. He is one of the few bad guys I feel sorry for death.

and cgi could be better.

If you hate on this movie it's most likely cause you're racist. The CGI was amazing besides the end but makes sense they were running out of budget. Beautiful soundtrack and visuals, unique interesting characters too.
