The movie is and was wayyyyyyy overhyped then it should've been. The CGI was bad, the story was uninteresting, etc. This movie is way overrated.

The plot is too simple, which doesn't make it bad, just predictable. The characters are shallower than anything else, and they have made such an attempt to progress the antagonists so forcefully as to be unpalatable. Especially speaking ofThe plot is too simple, which doesn't make it bad, just predictable. The characters are shallower than anything else, and they have made such an attempt to progress the antagonists so forcefully as to be unpalatable. Especially speaking of "Killmonger", just another cliche villain we're already used to Marvel movies. One of the film's biggest sins is the attempt at such a forced insertion of social struggle, which the movie simply throws in the viewer's face that does not work well on such a reasonable plot. The soundtrack is relatively good (having specifically matched my musical taste and my view by marrying well with each moment.) CGI within average. A good movie, nothing more than that.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Slightly less than average Marvel movie. Same simple plot that is full of holes, canned acting, and good CGI. The action in this movie is so bipolar, going from throwing people into cars, to killing them on the freeway, a battle of submission, to slitting someone's throat and stabbing. Only for the little bit of blood being when everyone is out of suits making everything ridiculous and telling that this was intended for kids, but not written for them.
This is by far the least heroic hero Marvel has shown yet with T'challa killing people left and right with no concern or worry. The implications of Wakanda being effectively a tyrannical dictatorship that may have a happy populace (it's not possible to tell since we only really see the royals) is also kind of frightening. It will never come to that in-story, but the implications and people thinking of it being better is worrisome.
The music was okay. The set and costume design was bipolar going from amazing to silly and over the top just to be different. The inspiration it took from various African cultures was fantastic, but then there were times they threw it all together willy nilly. Things with intent and meaning now just meant African.… Expand

I know some people said it makes sense that the antagonists used nation destabilizing tactics on Wakanda, but he continued to use these tactics after he took over. On his own country. How does that make sense? The actor was good but I was hard-pressed to believe the villain had any intelligence. A lot of characters were unbelievably stupid now that I think about it.

Well as the African country only I thank to one material can bypass the rest of the world? The only "light spot" of this movie, is kind of ironic it did not sound - Martin Freeman.

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

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

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

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

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

It's the only African-American superhero movie in Marvel's universe.

And It's the highest-rated of all Marvel cinematic universe movies.
And honestly - it's a boring, cliche-ridden dullness.
And now that I've seen it, I have a theory as to why it's so overrated:
It's a correctional bias. Over-exaggerated political correctness. People are rating this movie highly, simply because it is the only all African American Marvel movie.
The plot itself is somewhat good. The acting is somewhat good. But the directing suffers from excruciatingly cringe-inducing exaggerated African accent.
I was unconvinced by the ridiculous mixture between Yoga, African tribalism, and technology. It's a bizarre line to thread - one that simply does not mix well.
Tribes are our past. Technology, modern sciences - all of these have eradicated tribalism, simply because that is the way of society. Attempting to create a convincing world of a "technologically-superior tribe" is simply ridiculous.
The movie tries to keep reminding us that these are "tribes" people, and all this mixture simply does not go down well.
From an honest, purely emotional perspective, the majority of other Marvel movies are blessed with much better moments than this one.
This is a ridiculous occurrence, in my opinion - if there were more than only-one African-American superhero, then this movie would see its deserving Metascore of 5. Anything more than five is, in my opinion, trying to make up for the fact that - there are no other African-American superhero-centered movies from Marvel.
And honestly - that's a shame, because indeed Marvel's superheroes tend to be White Males - in their vast majority.
This movie should serve as an eye-opener - but this doesn't mean it should be so highly praised. Lying to ourselves just further occludes the truth. It never really helps.… Expand

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

This 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.… Expand

Black Panther

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

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

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

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.… Expand

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. .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.… Expand

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—theWakanda 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… Expand

It is the definition of "Average". Average story, average acting, dull action sequences, prevedible and forced morals, average fx (mostly explosions), some likable characters (like M'Baku or Zuri) and more than some irritating ones (likeIt is the definition of "Average". Average story, average acting, dull action sequences, prevedible and forced morals, average fx (mostly explosions), some likable characters (like M'Baku or Zuri) and more than some irritating ones (like Shuri, Okoye, W'Kabi), plain villain, lots of un-necessary CGI, and it's...well...a little childish.
The only aspect that I liked was the introduction of Wakanda in the Marvel universe after a little glimpse in other movies
But I do not agree to all the praise that this movie received...there are tons of better superheroes flicks out there and I liked Age of Ultron version of Black Panther more… Expand

As boring and generic as Thor The Dark World and the plot makes the least sense of any Marvel film. Super overrated...

This movie is a waste of time. Generic stuff looks like any other comic-based movie, boring.

An overlong superhero dull-fest with wooden acting, underwhelming special effects and an incredibly stupid plot - even for the Marvel film series. Awful, just awful.

It's not a bad movie it's just not a marvel movie. I don't know why the critics said it's the best marvel movie of all time even though it's probably one of the worst, but of course nothing can beat the horrible Captain Marvel movie.

Хайповый фильм со скучнейшим сюжетом, совершенно невыразительными актерами, не принесший во вселенную Марвел ничего интересного, положительного и хорошего. Ощущение, что снят просто для галочки.Хайповый фильм со скучнейшим сюжетом, совершенно невыразительными актерами, не принесший во вселенную Марвел ничего интересного, положительного и хорошего.
