This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The hype for this movie turns out to be completely unwarranted. The story seems to be written to pander to fantasies of social justice, the movie even ending with Wakanda (an African country) providing technological foreign aid and support to the United States. Cringeworthy puns (the 'sneakers' joke for silent running shoes, really?) / jokes (the vegetarian joke). Every character acting irrationally. Special effects that look like video game cutscenes. Even Bucky Barnes in a post-credits scene looked super bored with this movie. 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

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 action sequences are done quite well, though.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yes, the film is too long, as are the action sequences, but that's how movies are made nowadays so clearly my opinion is in the minority.

It forgoes the more traditional superhero approach in favor of a more personal conflict. While there areHeavy is the head that wears the crown. After a fantastic introduction in Civil War the Black Panther standalone film is finally here. It forgoes the more traditional superhero approach in favor of a more personal conflict. While there are still plenty of connections to the larger world of the MCU surrounding Wakanda, this is the most self-contained Marvel film in quite some time. There's no world-ending threat looming over the protagonist's head. It's just a man dealing with his new position of power and the sins of the past while trying to decide the future of his people.


The representation is fantastic. Black Panther opens up a culture we don't often get to see portrayed onscreen and never at this grand a scale or wide-reaching capability. Wakanda is a fantastic place and the costume design is spot-on. There are a lot of small touches that make it one of the more memorable corners of the MCU. A shame about that CGI though. I noticed around Civil War that the special effects in Marvel films have started to get decidedly less special. All the CGI costumes are quite obvious and you can notice the occasional green screen. Black Panther is another unfortunate victim of this. Although the movie is largely gorgeous, moments like the final one-on-one conflict look really bad. Marvel needs to get it's act together in this area again.


Director/co-writer Ryan Coogler wears his inspirations on his sleeve. This doesn't feel like your typical superhero movie. The grand sci-fi elements and plethora of characters give it a vibe and appearance similar to that of the Star Wars prequel films. The battle for the throne complete with family treachery calls to mind The Lion King (so no, not just because of the setting). Then there's that scene where T'Challa is introduced to his new gadgets that's ripped straight out of a James bond flick. With so many different styles of film on display Black Panther brings some needed diversity to film in more ways than one.


I was kept engaged by the likable characters, cool Wakandan culture, and the solid action sequences. Unfortunately the plot didn't do as much to entertain. Things really don't pick up until Killmonger finally takes center stage and drags the attention away from Andy Serkis (who by the way is cool to see in person for once). Before that everything feels like what would be the opening sequence in any other Marvel movie. Only here it's like they couldn't choose just one, so they decided to cram all the different takes in and pad out the running time. Not only does Jordan give a fantastic performance, but his character's arrival gives the story some much needed focus, an actual threat, and bumps things up from the initial snail's pace. Killmonger's motivations and backstory also allow Black Panther to talk about some social and political issues. As per the norm with the MCU though, he's still an underdeveloped villain.


Ultimately, Black Panther was a little harder to dive into than I was expecting/hoping it would be. There's are so many new things, concepts, and people introduced that there's not enough time for all of it to breath. The majority of the supporting character's go painfully underdeveloped. A shame as many of them are portrayed by fantastic actors and actresses. We never get to experience the full depths of their relationships to and with T'Challa or find out their place in the world. Something that makes deaths noticeable less significant. Then there's what a dull ride it can be at first. However if you get past this there's a remarkable culture on display and the typical superhero movie fun to be had. It's just of the more uneven entries in the MCU overall. Surprisingly the most interesting aspects of Black Panther are the ones related to the throne. Boseman's performance does a good job of capturing the character's internal conflicts and watching the character struggle with what kind of ruler he's going to be gives the film it's heart and makes it worth watching.

In all the excitement about the way Disney has found a way to mine the metal in African-American pockets, with a movie all about Africans and superheroes, the first category of which exists and the second of which doesn't but the targetIn all the excitement about the way Disney has found a way to mine the metal in African-American pockets, with a movie all about Africans and superheroes, the first category of which exists and the second of which doesn't but the target audience is assumed to be feeble-minded enough to be 'empowered' by it, let's look at an opening scene which says all you need to know about this film.

The snooty white woman in the supposedly chic gallery devoted to showcasing African art pieces doesn't know as much about her gallery's own pieces as Eric, the cousin of the Wakanda king, who is however planning a heist. On moral grounds of course. The piece he has his eye on was stolen "by British soldiers" so he's taking it back. Because "how do you think your ancestors got their hands on this piece" as if the woman, though white, is a descendant of the looting soldiers. As added justification, he, being black, notes that she has had him "watched by security since he came into the gallery", an experience every African-American male with a top knot and dressed in jeans, T-shirt and necklace has had in every uptown art gallery they have ever frequented. The woman huffily objects but then discovers that Erik has poisoned her, creating a disturbance in which two accomplices posing as ambulance attendants rush in. They cap the scene, literally, by then butchering all the white folk who have crowded around to help. This scene is not racists at all however because the two ambulance attendants are played by white men.

And that is how this vile nonsense begins. If white teenagers feel empowered by Spiderman then black ones will probably feel empowered by T'Challa, as the main character - "a strong black man" (as if Denzel Washington hadn't been invented yet) - is called. If teenagers need this puerile comic book pap to feel that their personality has been enhanced it indicates yet another failure of the modern education system.

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

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

Black Panther is most definitely an above-average superhero film, but does it deserve the "universal acclaim" that it has received from critics? In my humble opinion, no.

The strongest point of the film is in its story. Although all the twists and turns it takes are thoroughly predictable, the political tensions and personal vendettas make for more than enough drama and action to keep viewers engaged for the over two-hour runtime.

The performances are all great, as the cast consists of actors who have proven themselves to be beyond capable time and time again. They are equally matched by a solid script that makes for a fast-paced, fun film. That being said, while the acting and dialogue are good, nothing really stands out to make it memorable. In the sense of these things, it not much different than whatever else Marvel has to offer.

The weakest part of the film is in the visuals. Once again, while perfectly fine and suitable, there is nothing that has not been seen before. We have seen the CGI cities, the advanced aircraft, the alien weaponry, etc. many times before. And in addition to this, the fight sequences are disappointingly dull. There are a couple of cool surprises here and there, but the climax feels like it just sort of comes and goes in an utterly predictable fashion.

Black Panther is certainly enjoyable and certainly worth a viewing, but it's not a film that I was incredibly excited to discuss after seeing it and it hasn't really stuck with me.

Story: 7.5
Acting: 7
Script: 6
Visuals/Sound: 7
Entertainment Value: 7.5

MY RATING: 7/10

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

Each character has a personality that is developed and showcases the many actor's talents in front of the camera. I enjoyed the story, but it was easy to predict even as they tried to twist you around. Overall if you want to keep up to date in the path Marvel has laid out this is an important part. 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

Objectively, its a bad superhero movie, compared to others (even the bad ones). I loved Danai Gurira, shes a really bad ass actor and that role fit her very well. But the rest?
The logical ties in the universe make no sense at all, if you take all the other movies together. The acting could have been better (especially that of the main actor). The bad guys are all jokes or even worse versions of young Annakin Skywalkers in black. The story itself makes not much sense either, nor does the depiction or imagination of Wakanda. Its like an insecure 10 year old wrote it.
It honestly boggles my mind how this movie gets such high reviews. Just because its mainly black actors? I dont get it. If I was black I would see it as an insult, because the movie is that bad and cant compete with "white movies". It felt tedious to get through it.
Spawn, Blade or Hancock deserved that much hype much more than this movie, if you just look at the "black".
Seriously, normally I can see a pattern in seemingly senseless high ratings (or even low for that matter), but this time... If I would have to guess, the reasons for these high ratings are actual racism and virtue signalling only. But that cant be, can it?

The overall effect is just to jump the shark and begs the question, where the hell were these guys/gals when the world was about to be destroyed the last few times?

I went into this movie with high expectations due it's critical acclaim...i was severely let down and i think it hurt my viewing of the movie.

I really don't understand what the critics were watching compared to what i watched. I can see this movie got only positive reviews? nothing neutral or negative? critics afraid to give the users their true review? even masterpieces like the Godfather and Lord of the rings have their naysayers!

This movie isn't as groundbreaking as the critics would have you believe. I don't understand the CGI...at times it looks pretty good then other times it looks like they ran out of budget? not consistent and really drags down the film as panther himself is mostly CGI (during action scenes).

I had Star wars phantom menace vibes during the Wakanda council meeting!

Overall the movie isn't bad but it isn't great either. The one great thing about this movie is killmonger. Michael B. Jordan is amazing bar his not so fantastic four reboot.

User scores should have more weight than critics as it seems not all critics are genuine (please see Ghostbusters 2016, Star Wars: The Last jedi 2017). That can be said about user scores as well BUT as you can see from the numbers, there are maybe a few dozen critics, so each score is weighted more and when you look at the users, those trying to sabotage or praise to high are often offset by the majority (1800+ user reviews for black panther).

The trailer for the movie was uninspiring and lacked to convey a cohesive storyline. I didn't plan on seeing this at the theater, but all the hype and rave reviews made me doubt my initial instincts. Were the positive reviews due to the movie portraying a black superhero and an advanced intelligent African race? Did everyone lower their standards in the name of diversity, equity and inclusion?

The Black Panther character wasn't likeable in the Avengers movie, and he was not likeable in this one either. Maybe it has everything to do with the actor and not the character?!?!

The Black Panther isn't really your typical superhero, not at all, and it really represents black culture and what they have been through a litte. My favorite Character in the movie was definetly the Villian who wasn't really a villian but was battling some real demons and didn't just want revenge. He was in a dark place and didn't really know what to do, but in the end he finally got throgh it. Great movie, loved it, would definitly like to see more of this from Marvel, in the future. Expand

We may well could be in front of "The Movie" of the MCU, by virtue of its coldness by man-made entertainment or fantastic narratives as a plot base, placing a homogeneous criticism on race, social chaos, feminism, power, politics, technology, honor and human demons, an unusual maneuver hitherto by the company that works perfectly in the ideal story, as T'Challa, king of Wakanda, becomes a milestone in the history of comic film adaptations, because of it's the first one that manages to blur that unresectable concentration by comedy and action in order to enter a field of more realistic, moralistic and compelling treatment, of course, without relegating an exciting, kinetic and fearless process to reach that stage. Another of its many strengths, which is present in the solid screenplay, is the important participation of women in the storyline. Just like "Wonder Woman" did, this film proudly represents what it means to be a woman of color, an impressive achievement — even if it's sad to mention: what differentiates white and black women? —for those "minorities", since each one of them receives a virtuous development, each one treasures a coherent and exciting dramatic background, daring individuals with hopeful characteristics; courageously intelligent believers, figures who honor two of the least respected groups by a society that grows in machismo and vanity: women and black people. In addition to writing rich and electrifying stories and foundations for them, the fighting scenes, which lies on the shoulders of the Dora Milaje, are superb, very close to Patty Jenkins' spectacular combats executed by the Amazons, the relation is valid thanks to the impact of these gigantic set-pieces that ends up being inspiring, getting to raise another important analogy. Visually, Coogler's feature film is a glorious feast. It can claim to have the same bravery and power in the pictures as the most recent release of the company, as it represents a radical color and style opposite with respect to Taika Waititi's colorful ode, here sobriety leads to sublimity in many of the scenes that enroll with honor in the best of the MCU; it's impossible to believe how the studio is surpassed by each new entry and this is no exception. Wakanda is as beautiful as complex thanks to the hard work of Rachel Morrison, the art & production department and anyone involved in the creative and artistic process. There are many people agree that Ludwig Göransson's score will be a strong contender for several gold awards. In addition to a lot of praises, the accompanying melodies and specific compositions that nourish fight sequences, moments of tension or a trivial talk are spectacular, his score has a great influence by African culture, drums and instruments are compactly intermingled with the vitality and extravagance of heroic melodies, a necessary choice as thanks to this important effect, the film manages to be what it is, a representative marvel. It should be noted that the soundtrack created in the name of the film by Kendrick Lamar goes very much in the style of his songs and is concordant; especially "Pray For Me" included in one of the most stylistic scenes, where The Weeknd's stunning vocals shine on their own.

And finally: Ryan Coogler. It's not odd that the film opens in Oakland, California, because the filmmaker is from there, he knows the ailments of his people. The film works in many fields, it's perceptible the effort in the idea and it's perceptible that the director knew how to portray what on the paper seemed so difficult, here, he's not limited to using a fantastic language because he also mixes culture and diversity in a film that will serve as a catapult to fame and opportunities. The American director and screenwriter presents one of the most interesting visions put on the genre, because it's one with foundation and purpose: to reach the heart of minorities, giving a message of peace, union and equality, symbolized by a hopeful ending very similar to "The Last Jedi's" final scene, a little boy starts dreaming.

"Black Panther" by Ryan Coogler transforms what a superhero movie must be, delivering children of color an idealized model with which they can dream now. In the long run, the film from the "Fruitvale Station" director and screenwriter works in many fields at the same time, it serves as a social commentary on the selfishness of the white people, politics, vices and discrimination while coherently produces a novel and unusual journey among Wakanda's technological and fascinating landscapes. Somehow, it's the "Get Out" of Marvel Studios, and reverses the comic-adaptation formula, placing its hero in harsh situations that can be compared to the real-life difficulties of a normal person. By far, one of the most different and original superhero flicks to date,

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here are some reasons why you should watch Black Panther:
1) The Cast - It is filled by some fantastic performers. It is a shame it is necessary to identify it as a people of color's representation come to fruition film to begin with when there was this much talent to deal with. I mean they have Forest Whitaker, Angela Bassett, Sterling Brown, Letitia Wright (who got to answer one of the most empty questions I have ever heard in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rskukzUgAs), Daniel Kaluuya and even Martin Freeman and Andy Serkis, who despite being 'tolkien white guys' showed more caliber in the few minutes they had than most actors in MCEU if the same standards are concerned.
2) The Suit, The Power and The Metal - It is seriously some cool vfx work
3) You saw the trailer and you love the music 'Bagbak' by Vince Staples and you need to see the movie. I will spoil this for you, it is not in the movie and leads to the sensation that the trailer was way more enjoyable than the whole movie. That is not wholly true and if you really want to watch it, you should. And if you do watch it, write a review about it even if it is just for yourself. I have a feeling that it might be a watershed moment for your politico-personal reality.

BP is a bit like BP. It is all about moderation and it's message, mercifully does just that. Advocate rebuilding a better world instead of spreading hate on the basis of injustices that happened long past and will do us no good to punish ourselves and others over now.
Unfortunately, whole black cast and representation and women in power **** made it in the movie peripherals through the casting and what it meant to make this movie. Hearing people ask questions about race-based questions that won't affect the movies or the people in any good way is not healthy. Art is seriously not a democracy and people will not stop casting their favorites in movies, irrespective of this people of color induced messages and whatnot. If you want a story told and seen in your particular style, make it yourself and let the audiences judge it out with their views. This movie has done more to polarize its audiences, using the political climates of its targeted audiences as an impetus to publicize its popularity. While there is nothing legally or logically wrong with that, it does make me a bit sad since most superhero movies are archetypal stories that unify with a common goal.
It is not that this movie didn't try. Except it didn't stick because the character, T'Challa who gives this message of making the better choice has no way to reaching to you. Why does he believe that? Why should we believe him? Should we just root for him because he is the main character and he wears the Black Panther suit?! Probably, only because of Boseman's amazing voice and the Wakanda accent being used to say, "...I never freeze."

Michael B. Jordan's acting career definitely got a new lease of life because of Erik Killmonger(sure would have been nice to get some backdrop on how his past life with a surname like that) and his story. He speaks the truth about pain and suffering, both about the personal and the community life he's had but he also repeats a fundamentalist lie as he is biased and messed up and nobody (except in superhero lore) goes as far and as haphazardly as he does to get revenge. Weirdly, i found a parallel between Spider-man: Homecoming as I watched these two movies back to back. Tony Stark says, "If you are nothing without the suit, you shouldn't have it(the suit)." While Peter Parker rises above that assumption and comes home to the best suit of his lifetime, T'Challa seems far too much with the suit than without it, as he gets ass handed to him by Killmonger in the battle for the throne. Whether that in itself is too much of a burden to pull down the Franchise by itself is a question every viewer must decide by themselves. What the main character desperately needed was a more deeper look into his story and perhaps a bit more time to make as a big as he does. But nonetheless, I respect Boseman. He is 40 and still has worked for his first huge break (Let's be honest, even Denzel Washington only recently realized that the man he invested, monetarily but without return clauses, in has hit big).

I am somewhat happy that Black Panther exists. I have some small bits of its comic representation and creativity involved in the art of things that vibrantium is associated with is beautiful and this movie brings that to the visual medium. I am grateful for that and for the Wakanda accents, which is so much fun to listen and to speak, it is rough and welcoming. BP is flawed and over-simplistic story given too much credit but maybe the world has been starving for this for too long. You have to watch it to make your mind.

And it is a good movie. The action is solid, the story is interesting, and it's, well, it's a Marvel movie. It's exactly what you expect it to be. I will say that the world building around Wakanda is incredibly interesting and probably my favorite part of the movie. However, while Killmonger may be one of the better villains in the MCU as far as relatability goes, he's just another typical MCU villain in the end. Black Panther will provide you with a satisfying theater experience and is probably one of the more entertaining MCU movies, but don't go in expecting it to be groundbreaking or anything. Expand

Good but not great. The African theme is great but the story itself is no better or worse than other superhero movies. I think this movie is getting more positive press because of political correctness.

Humor in the movie was oftentimes forced. Overall, good movie. Not ground-breaking or novel. Expand

If you’re expecting a totally action packed marvel movie; be wary. The action is scarce in a wildly confusing and long boring plot with a pretty boring villain. Sad the SJWS HAVE to like the movie because of its black cast. It just objectively a bad film. Stay away. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have been a Black Panther fan for many years, having first enjoyed him in comics in the 80s, so I was looking forward to this MCU adaptation with great anticipation. Unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed. The story was a generic tale of revenge and the CGI at times was of a sadly low standard compared to other MCU films. The acting was passable, but the pacing was often too slow for my liking, and the characters too politically cliched. T'Challa’s sister began to grate very quickly. Andy Serkis is the only thing that drags it out of the mire, and they kill him off far too soon. Some of my other main criticisms were of the setting: the idea that a secret, isolationist country could exist on the African continent is frankly ludicrous. Not only that, but the fact that they have hidden away with their precious magical Vibranium technology while the rest of Africa suffered hundreds of years of war, famine, disease and exploitation is also ridiculous. I am all for people celebrating their culture and traditions, but for a technologically advanced society to allow trial by combat to decide their ruler, would be like the Queen of England being challenged to a joust by someone who felt they had a claim on the throne, or the President of America being challenged to a gunfight by his political opponent. Also, for the political leaders of a faction to shout down a visitor by making ape sounds (their totem animal), would be like a visitor to the French senate being silenced by rooster crowing (their national animal). The movie also has too much of a political agenda, and I believe that many of the high ratings here are based on virtue-signalling instead of critical opinion. Overall, a mediocre addition to the MCU that does not move the overall story arc anywhere, and the hijacking of a beloved Marvel character for political purposes makes this film far less than it should have been. It receives a +1 for Andy Serkis’ performance. Expand

While not terrible, it is abhorent. It's like mashing up a superhero, with political correctness and white guilt, the result is a sub par movie not worth watching.

The premise of a VibraniumA decent movie fueled almost entirely by its cast. Black Panther features plenty of special effects and a fair share of action moments but it ends up being one of the slower Marvel movies I can remember seeing. The premise of a Vibranium manufacturing site on Earth feels somewhat underscored and the movie's best villain isn't as cool as he could be. It's hard to put it in to words but I just didn't love Black Panther. It checks most items off the list of an excellent film but its execution almost seems fumbled at times. It's not boring but it's not usually attention-grabbing. One odd thing that stood out was the heavy attention paid to arming black people on Earth to fight what I have to think is white people (and any other people that might be perceived as oppressors). There are some social cues that aren't bad to consider within Black Panther but the racial justice undertone is unbecoming of a Marvel film and it has barely any nod to the Marvel universe. So Avenger shows up anywhere, no alluding to anything going on in the universe elsewhere, no significant tie to where things are going. With the upcoming Infinity Stone, that feels like a major failure to connect. It's good but I think it could have been so much better. Given the cast that it had, I'm surprised that it didn't shine - there's a lot of good talent on screen throughout. Expand

Every actor did a great job especially Michael B. Jordan who played one of the best villain in superhero movies ever; his motivations are so compelling that make you sympathy with him. The dramatic moments were touching and they are clearly inspired by The Lion King. Unfortunately, the action scenes are very very bad especially with the use of such poor CGI; the characters seemed as they were fully animated in some kind of a computer game. The major issue I have with this movie is the ending; it's so rushed and clichéd. I think the movie should have been separated into two parts because it ends weirdly, I feel that the ending came out of nowhere; it's very misplaced. I hoped to see King T'Challa more stronger as he was in Civil War but they made all the women in the movie stupidly strong that their fight scenes overshadowed Black Panther's. Overall, I had so much fun watching this movie but I think it's so overrated.

(7.5/10)

It’s too bad the screenplay is so weak, because the actors are giving it their all with some great performances, and many of the special effects are strong—although undermined by the handful are embarrassingly badly rendered. Great soundtrack too. But the screenplay? Yes, it’s a superhero flick, but this needed a rewrite. Expand

However calling Black Panther JUST a superhero movie is a lie. What works for Black Panther is that it works as a political action thriller as well, it changes a lot with the "basic" superhero movie formula. The film plots in consequence and how much small things can affect the story. The visuals are amusing and lovable. Michael B Jordan kills it as Kill Monger and for me is by far the best Marvel Villain to ever be shown on the big screen. You can feel for him and understand what is going through his mind. In the end of the film a lot of watchers will question whether Kill monger was in the wrong and that his actions were actually justifiable. You will FEEL empathy for the character. The OST is great, the Kill Monger theme with the flute especially sticks out. Also the Soundtrack from Kendrick Lamar is one of the best albums for rap that I've ever seen. The stakes feel realistic in this film, similar to TDK Or TDKR. Verdict:

Black Panther is one of the best Superhero films ever, It sets a new bar for Marvel Films. Coming into my TOP 5 Superhero films of all time

1. SM2: 9.7/10
2. TDK: 9.5/10
3. Logan: 9.3/10
4. Black Panther 9/10
5. SM: 9/10

Verdict: 9/10
