That Ryan Coogler shows a glimpse of what could be possible with these movies just heightens the feeling of disappointment that comes from watching great potential squandered by obsequious mediocrity. Watching the movie is like watching a great artist coloring inside the lines, doing his best to push the boundaries without being able to do anything too risky or original in deference to the mandated design he's working within. With Creed, Coogler proved that he could breathe life and a fresh perspective into stagnant intellectual property, working his magic within the confines of studio product. With Black Panther, the MCU proves just how resistant it is to the intelligence and artistry of a filmmaker like Coogler. Coogler at least manages to maintain much of the film's dignity and strong sense of purpose, largely avoiding the self-reflexive slapstick and one-liners that have rendered lesser Marvel fare into patronizing pantomimes. At its best, the movie slows down enough to focus on its characters and themes, with the good, but uneven, cast doing its best to imbue personalities into thinly-written ciphers that are never allowed a full range of emotion beyond "good," "petulant," and "dignified." At its most crowd pleasing, the film pays homage to James Bond and Star Wars/Star Trek, influences that are not far from the actual comic book source material. At its worst, the movie goes out of its way to deflate any sense of suspense, tension, escalation, or subtext to the point where the plot becomes repetitive and predictable, marginalizing the promising story and trivializing what should be an epic conflict with emotional stakes. The distinctive production design, eclectic score and better-than-average cinematography goes a long way to building an enticing new world, but as the film barrels on through its checklist of studio demands, it all starts to seem like nothing more than a theme-park trinket given a fresh coat of paint and passed off as a priceless artifact. As one of the many exposition-heavy characters states in the film’s typically banal dialogue, "It's not magic. It's technology." A decade into the MCU, this now seems like a corporate mission statement, as the potential magic inherent in cinema is relentlessly drowned out by the whirring of studio machinery. Ultimately, Black Panther is an exercise in compromise representing a huge step back for Ryan Coogler but a small step forward for Disney/Marvel. If you liked the 15 or so Marvel movies that preceded this one or don't expect much from the genre except for fun-for-the-whole family spectacle, you'll probably like Black Panther. If you feel the franchise has been hit-or-miss or has lost its luster through sheer force of repetition, there's nothing here that will likely change your mind. If anything, watching Coogler strain against franchise formula will serve as a reminder of the inherent flaws in this seemingly foolproof design.… Expand

But I feel it was very by the books, generic and extremely predictable. Most of the humor in this movie was off, just a few really worked for me and the audience it seems. Since there was very few people laughing in the theater I was in, and that is rare for these MCU movies. The dialogue in general was also not that good, they should have made a smarter script with more interesting dialogue. It lacked nuance and personality in my opinion.

The movie had some enjoyable action sequences, but most of it was nothing that blew me away really. I feel the action with Black Panther in Civil War was better, more focused and clear. Personally I think Okoye had the best action scenes in the movie, and if I am not wrong, she even had her own theme. Her action scenes was a high point in the movie for me.

And I have to say I don't get the praise for Killmonger. For a villain he had reasonable motives for once, but I felt his character lacked any real depth too. I really hate it when they have to give us a big list of exposition to give us an idea of how strong he is, instead of showing how strong he is throughout the movie. I really think they should not have had two villains in this movie and just focused on Killmonger. And character Ulysses Klaue was wasted in this movie. I don't know much of the comics for Black Panther, but I thought he was like his main nemesis.

That being said, I still enjoyed the movie. While the dialogue was so so, the actors did a good job. I loved the world building and most of the visuals in this movie was breathtaking. Besides some iffy CGI here and there. The music was excellent and some scenes in this movie was a perfect blend of scenery and music. There was a few moments where everything truly clicked and it was cinema perfection.

Overall I think the movie is a flawed diamond as it has moments of perfection, and for the most part it is truly gorgeous to look at. But it has some rough edges that really could use polish.

So I am not sure where I would rank this movie on the MCU scale. I think it lands somewhere in the middle as it is not among my favorites, not even close. But I am excited for the future of Black Panther as I do want more of Wakanda. I am excited for his part in Avengers Infinity War.… Expand

As much as Chadwick Boseman is to be admired for his previous stellar efforts, he's in over his head here, coming across as one of the blandest action-adventure figures in some time. Of course, it probably doesn't help that he and the rest of the cast are working with a script full of cookie cutter predictability, an insufficient back story for the protagonist's alter ego, underwhelming special effects and excessive earnestness that borders on implausibility. For a movie that's been drawing raves, I expected a lot more than what it actually delivers.… Expand

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).… Expand

So this is kinda late since the hype for Marvel's latest entry is slowly dying down, until 'Infinity War' hits and everything else will be history. Black Panther is a good movie, but sadly not a great one. There's a lot of great things about it and boy was it a joy to watch. The problems on the other hand aren't something to overlook.

Ryan Coogler is an excellent director with his previous work on 'Fruitvale Station' and Creed''. While I think he stumbled a bit with this movie since it's a much bigger movie and the studios breathing down his neck, but at least he brought a brand new superhero in style.

Chadwick Boseman is a great actor and the portrayal of T’Challa/Black Panther was pretty good. I do think he got overshadowed by everyone else, mostly from the supporting actors. After the death of his father, T’Challa goes through a dilemma when being face with taking over the throne and rule his land. However, not once do you feel his struggle and wasn't presented as a challenge. If I have to be honest, he was more interesting in 'Civil War'. Still this is just the beginning for him. Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, and Letitia Wright all three serve as supporting characters, but in reality are what glues the movie together and really hold their own in this big budget movie. Even Andy Serkis and Martin Freeman hold their own as well.

Michael B. Jordan as Killmonger is the best villain in the MCU so far. What makes him so compelling to watch isn't because he wants to take over the world or has any magical powers. Just like the Joker, you can't disagree with his arguments of honesty and truth, which is best served cold. Not saying Killmonger is up there with the Joker as the best, but pointing out an example of what separates him from bland. I'm glad Marvel is improving.

The villain problem being solved isn't just one thing, but the score as well. Taking influences from Africa cultural for it's score. Having a little touch of 'The Lion King' in the mix. I liked the technological side of Wakanda and how it blends with the costume designs which had a unique presentation. From any other superhero franchises out there, this is the most refreshing in terms of style. I'm starting to see a difference now.

For problems: The fight scenes are either too dark or anything memorable. Maybe both. The visual effects were shockingly bad and looked unfinished. There wasn't a single frame that I would call 'good'. Looking like cut scenes from an old video game. Wakanda itself didn't feel like a real place in this cinematic universe, because I'm just assuming there only used two build sets for the movie (that's not CGI), where you see characters walk around a street on repeat.

There's literally a scene in this movie where a character yells "what are those!" and I almost sunk into my seat from cringe. The plot is predictable, like most Marvel movies. There's a fake out death that last for 10 minutes, acting like they are gone forever. The reason why this doesn't work is not once do you buy into it and since it's a major character who's going to be in 'Avengers Infinity War', if you've seen the trailer.

Overall rating: Just a reminder, I enjoyed the movie a lot and I don't hate it. Heck, just forget what I just said right now. This is just another home run for Marvel and there's nothing stopping them. I mean, it's been 10 years guys, like wow.… Expand

Wanted to see 'Black Panther' for a while, one of my most anticipated films of this early half of 2018 and as somebody who likes to loves most of Marvel's films. The idea was interesting as was what the film was hyped up to be, the trailerWanted to see 'Black Panther' for a while, one of my most anticipated films of this early half of 2018 and as somebody who likes to loves most of Marvel's films. The idea was interesting as was what the film was hyped up to be, the trailer looked great and the high ratings and critical acclaim promised even more.

My thoughts were that 'Black Panther' was a decent and intriguing film with a lot of very well done to great elements, but it didn't blow me away and left me disappointed after the hype. As indicated, far from hated it, didn't love it. Actually saw 'Black Panther' on opening weekend in a sold out showing (it was touch and go as to whether a ticket could be gotten), but had to properly form my thoughts for a while and was nervous seeing the very divisive IMDb reaction and the condescension on both sides (mostly negative), which has slightly died down since to feel less nervous.

Starting with the good/great things, 'Black Panther' is mostly impressive visually. The special effects were variable, but there were some spectacular ones, while it's beautifully and stylishly shot, slickly edited and sumptuously costumed. It's the extraordinary production design that was most note-worthy. Loved the use of technology, which was really cool. The music has the right amount of haunting intensity, energy, dignity and pathos, so a fine score on its own but not always utilised right in the film, a few ill-fitting moments mood-wise.

Much of the action is exciting, though there could have been more, and there is a good deal of thought-provoking script-writing with some nicely injected humour. One is immersed in the world of Wakanda, which is a fascinating world in thematic terms. The story does grip once it gets going and doesn't feel as confused and jumpy, with timeline and location changes needing to be clearer, like it did to begin with and a lot of it even when turning our everyday struggles on their heads is surprisingly relevant.

Personally thought that much of the acting was good, with a very charismatic lead performance from Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan bringing a self-loathing conflicted edge and swagger to Killmonger and Andy Serkis relishing his role with aplomb. The women are just as good, with a dignified Lupita Nyong'o, regal, no-nonsense and feisty Danai Gurira and particularly a funny and endearing Letitia Wright. While his role is small, Daniel Kaluuya is great fun in it. Direction is above competent, if not innovative, and really appreciated the film making Killmonger more than the standard Marvel villain, here one with questionable personal motives but one where one can see his point of view and empathise. Although his actions are inconsistent and don't always make sense and he could have been more threatening, generally he is one of the better Marvel villains and the most developed character in a film too full of stock ones (the titular character being the other exception).

'Black Panther' has faults however. Most of the characters are stock and clichéd, while some of the first half is too talky, the film is a little slow-going and confused to start with and some of the political elements are laid on too thick. Adding to the general feel that, even with the splashes of humour, the film takes itself too seriously and with the amount of predictability it has doesn't do enough new with a novel concept.

There are exceptions to the cast. Forrest Whittaker is wasted as a non-developed character with too short screen time, on top of the scene being rushed his final scene has no impact as a result. Martin Freeman is too fish out of water as well.

Although some of the effects are spectacular, others are very ropy. Especially in the final action scene between Black Panther and Killmonger which resembled a very early days/years video game. That scene also felt rushed, sometimes vaguely choreographed and anti-climactic, though the whole climax felt over-stuffed and too busy.

Overall, decent and interesting but was expecting more. Personally don't think it's the best Marvel film, while a long way from bad let alone terrible, for me it's one of the weaker ones. 6/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

"Black Panther" is so ridiculously overrated by fans and critics alike it's incredible, although I can see why. The film makes such a great statement in the celebration of African culture, that it's not hard to see why critics like it so much. However this does not a good movie make, and the fact that a large number of fans would consider those who dislike the movie "racists" is absolutely outstanding to me. The first half of the movie is so unessacary and boring, that the majority of it could have been completely removed from the film without making any difference to the main plot whatsoever. In fact, the movie technically starts about halfway into the running time, as that's when the actual story kicks in. The special effects are very average and under-par, which was rather dissapointing for me considering this is a Disney movie, who recently released quite possibly one of the most stunningly beautiful movies ever- Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The green screen is painstakingly obvious at points that it made me forget what was actually going on, and it actually ruins one of the most emotional moments of the movie for me. A lot of the acting is rather poor, and even the main cast (except one who I'll mention later) are surprisingly average. However, the movie really picks up speed towards the second half of the movie, there are a lot less unessacary jokes and the story actually becomes rather interesting. I want to watch the movie again just to see the second half, as that is the most exciting part of the production. The finale is thrilling and although the choreography wasn't great it was still amazing to watch. The second half is also when the best part of the movie comes into play- Michael B.Jordan. He puts in a stellar performance, and I was so much more interested in his character than I was with almost everyone else. He is the most developed marvel villain in a long time. Other than that there weren't very many positives, and although this movie is a fantastic celebration of culture it has many issues unknown to blinded fans and critics.… Expand

It's amazing to view the fictional Wakanda country in film, a technologically advanced african state isolated from the outside world and posing as a 3rd world country. Black Panther's tech and gadgets rival those of Iron Man and Batman. And certainly it's refreshing to view elements of african culture.

Unfortunately Black Panther is a film more concerned about not sparking any kind of controversy and appealing to SJWs than telling a captivating story. Marvel movies have usually been average in the storyline department (except for a few great movies like Captain America: The Winter Soldier) but Black Panther suffers in this respect. It's not just the SJW undertone which I dislike. It's a story a bit too similar to Disney's The Lion King, and everything's predictable. The street car chase in South Korea is fantastic but battles are underwhelming, and the final one is a big mess. The Black Panther vs Killmonger fight is really bad. Other than Black Panther's throne there was not really anything bigger at stake, despite the efforts of the writers to add a sense of danger because Wakandan weaponry may spread out of the fictional country's borders.

Also the Black Panther movie is not really connected to the wider MCU, aside from the inclusion of Agent Ross from Civil War and the return of Ulysses Klaw from Avengers: Age of Ultron.

I like Chadwick Boseman posing as Black Panther, but the movie was a slight disappointment for me. I hope his next solo movie will be better. Now he's set to come back in Avengers: Infinity War.… Expand

For once, the MCU entertainment formula didn't serve its purpose in a movie where the absence of formulaic comedy would have been gladly taken.

As opposed to Thor: Ragnarok, The Avengers or Iron Man, Black Panther had several opportunities to make the jump from 'everyday comic book movie' to Sci-Fi Must - as 'Star Wars' Must, the kind of must where you can picture yourself wandering in Wakanda, a fictive country with a universe bigger to discover than all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole.

So what can we say about this movie? Well, obviously the missed opportunities to reach higher grounds. Which appears more and more frustrating as the movie goes on.

Is it true to the MCU? Yes, sure.

Too much? Yes, as the limit can be seen from the moment when the plot is given straight forward, just like every other MCU movie where this formulaic template follows. From then on, the magic you felt up to the second half of the movie is slowly fading away.

So much potential going to waste yet again, thanks to a cinematic universe.

If you are a Marvel fan, watch it.

The actions scenes are okay, but not much; they use too much CGI on the fighting scenes and it leaves you disappointed on the quality of it.

پس از دیدن بلک پنتر و رکورد شکنی ها نمره هایی که در مقایسه با سینمایی های امروزی مارول و دی‌سی و همچنین نظرات مساعد از سوی طرفداران ، باید از این پس به‌طور کل سینما ی ابرقهرمانی را از سینمای هنر تمیز بداریم. امروزه فیلم های ابرقهرمانی را هنرمند(ان) نمی سازد(ند) تا شاهد یک نمایش هنرمندانه از قهرمانان مورد علاقه‌مان روی پرده سینما باشیم. بتمن های تیم برتون و سه گانه نولان نمایش هنرمندانه ابرقهرمانان تخیلی است که مشخصه اصلی آنها تعلق به کارگردان است ، تعلق به کارگردان هنرمند نه به استدیو فیلمسازی و یا حتی توزیع کننده اش است. فاصله گرفتن این دست فیلم ها با سینمای هنری را می توان با مقایسه جدیدترین کار این سینما (شاید اونجرز و بلک پنتر) و مقایسه آخرین ساخته کارگردانی مثل همین نولان (دانکرک) فهمید. یکی برای اسکار می جنگد و دیگری برای راضی کردن مخاطب وفاداری که به اصطلاح سالهاست با آن سفید امضا کرده و در آخر هم از پس آن بر نمی آید و عاشقانش منتظر فیلم بعدی می شوند. بلک پنتر در میان این بحران سعی می کند بی نقص باشد اشکالات تکراری ساخته های مارول را نداشته باشد ، جلوه های ویژه و بودجه 200 میلیونی با رنگ ها در جلوی دیدگان ما بازی کند و با ایستراِگ مخاطب را به ورطه های شگفت انگیزی برساند.
بلک پنتر می خواهد خوب باشد اما در نهایت یک دروغ گو ست که می خواهد ما را امیدوار کند.… Expand

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.… Expand

The story was ok, but I didn't like the tie-ins to America. They should have kept it local, in the surrounding countries, where there's real tyranny that needs addressing, even now.

Klaue was a pretty cool antagonist. His character received much more development than the main antagonist, Killmonger... which makes little sense.

Jordan did a fine job, playing the role he was dealt, but I couldn't stand the self-entitled ****

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

Black Panther was an awesome movie in general.

But ultimately inBlack Panther was an awesome movie in general. Built out the character more than was expected, as in introducing some back story to him, and expending on a piece of the Marvel Universe that many people wouldn't know about. But ultimately in the hype and general build up towards it's release, it does fail in living up to the character that should have been shown. Without going into too many spoilers, as a King of a nation, genius, enterpeturer and all round good guy, one would expect that a person of this calibre, who has shown foreigners in the past and present much respect and forgiveness, who has shown general wisdom throughout the Marvel plot line, would actually shown their own citizens more respect and thoughtfulness. The story does seem to meter out after the first half boiling down to a generic "The sins of the father are to be laid upon the children" fiasco, while being somewhat good, it does become too clean cut. Also in my own preference, there should have been scenes in the "language" of Wakanda in the movie throughout, not just when a change of country occurred or they didn't feel like speaking the native language within the Capital of their own city, this did break the authenticity of the narrative to a degree. It's another feather in the cap of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, do with it as you like.… Expand

I was very excited to see the movie, but it just doesnt hold up to the promising character from Civil war, I really liked the actors and casting but so few of the characters get fleshed out. It really is a big step back for marvel and feels more like a later Sony Spiderman or Xmen movie-actually A LOT like an Xmen movie with the political tone of the movie. I thought the Jabari tribe and the early scenes with Killmonger and Klaw were great, the ridiculous rhinos at the end and the vibranium mountain trains were terrible, but the movies biggest flaw was the lack of acknowledgement of the Avengers, as if Killmonger's plan wouldn't be stopped by the other Avengers.

I typically get all fanboy over any/all Marvel films. And this one, based on the character, the dynamics socially and MCU related, the trailer and the early buzz, I went into this with too much expectation. If Black panther came in under the radar, maybe it gets bumped to a 7. But the landscape has been set before this and it should have known better!

Boring film overall. Lazy script. Too long a run time. Below par CGI. Uneventful fight scenes. It's not the worst Marvel MCU film to date, but it's down in the bottom 5 for me. I compare what we should have gotten out of this movie to what Dr Strange brought to the MCU. -Introduce a secondary character (to the public not Marvel fans). -Introduce a gift to the MCU that hasn't been explained in prior films (Mystic arts / Vibranium technology). -Give us a villain with a twisted perspective on the respective gift (using mystic arts for immortality/vibranium tech to lift up a culture from oppression). -Build on the MCU to get us excited for what's to come. I left Dr Strange with such joy and thrill from the ride. I left Black Panther bored and thinking, what a waste of 3 hours. I could have gotten to the same place in 1.5 hours and with far less resistance if presented to the audience in a much more fun way.

Shame... Moving on to Infinity War.… Expand

The Good:

Visuals and art direction were amazing. 10/10.

Acting was excellent. 9/10.

Homage to comics.

The Bad:

Plot was bland. It did nothing that hasn't been seen before. On top of that, some threads went nowhere, others could have been resolved by better communication (which is a lazy tactic used far too often in a lot of films). When things were introduced, you could immediately predict when and how they would come back later in the movie as a plot point or setpiece every time. I did appreciate the more serious tone. 4/10.

Overall, I wished I was watching the characters in any other movie. The done before plot dragged the entire movie down. It's hard for a movie with great acting, likeable and diverse characters, and great visuals to feel boring, but Black Panther did. It showed enough promise to earn a sequel, and I hope it will build on the successes of this movie with a more interesting story.… Expand

Black Panther is set a few months after Civil War, which is what I understood from the movies marketing. The movie follows T'Challa and his friends and family. T'Challa is a young prince tasked with becoming King of Wakanda after his father's recent death. This gives T'Challa a very deep moral conflict between being a good king like his father once was and making smart decisions in the ever-expanding world. The character development in this film is shaky, but I got a basic idea of the roles of each character. The CIA outsider character was extremely underdeveloped, however, with his role just being to be the guy who has no idea what is going on, but doing a few heroic acts along the way. The villain is one of the best parts of this film, with his character being developed beyond just "evil black panther". This film touches on some very real issues, such as poverty, neglect, and racism, with some subjects blown up a little more than I would've liked. The character development could've used some work, but you don't just go see a Marvel Movie just for the characters. You go to see them for the action, and oh boy is there a lot of that. The action sequences were phenomenal well executed, and the talented cast along real martial arts moves and fighting help bring these to scenes to life. I never felt disoriented, wondering who was fighting who or who was winning, which is an astounding accomplishment many movies strive for. The Marvel movie formula demands that there is a lot of crunching stabbing, and of course table-smashing. Along with the action sequences was the comedy, which was a little underwhelming, but enjoyable none the less. As far as the movie goes, it was very predictable and there was no genuine surprise in what happened next. The movie has by the numbers progression wise, with a seasoned Marvel fan being able to tell what the next step the movie will take. Overall, the movie was a rather enjoyable experience, even if it is dubbed down with a predictable plot and some shaky character development, I would still say it is worth a watch just for the excellent action scenes and wonderful art style and costume design, as well as a gripping emotional journey through the hidden land of Wakanda.… Expand

We are introduced to the technologic and advanced civilization of Wakanda very early on. Then we are introduced to it again when Everet Ross enters Wakanda. Why not start with that instead of doing it twice? Wakanda is the most technologically advanced society of the world and it is wasted when we first experience it. We as the audience should see Wakanda as a outsider like Everet Ross. 99% of the world views Wakanda as a 3rd world country. Why not take advantage of that throughout the first half of the movie? As a alternative to viewing it in Everet Ross's perspective, we could also experience it the same way as Killmonger arrives. Michael B Jordan arrives as Killmonger in Wakanda halfway through the movie thinking that no one will allow him entry unless he's does some grand deed, yet no one seems to know who he is. None of this is relevant. Again, we should experience the wonder of Wakanda through one of two people who have never experienced it.

With that being said, several of the characters stand out. Winston Duke is one of the best characters of Black Panther as well as the MCU. I love him in the beginning, and I love him when he decides to help out in the final battle. Letitia Wright is also a stand out. She is fun, and never takes anything too seriously, yet plays an important part in the finale. Now for the bad part. Lupita Nyong'o and Angela Basset never get any time to shine until it is too late. Both are fine actresses, yet they don't add anything to the plot. Forest Whitaker is absolutely great (especially in street kings), but any depth that is given to him is ended quickly. I would have loved to see him more in the MCU.

With all that's been said I would love to experience Wakanda as a outsider and not just be thrust into the plot. As for Marvel, Black Panther is just average, but it could have been so much more. It is bogged down with too many villains, as well as too many protagonists. In the final battle, It is hard to root for anyone. Maybe that is the point.… Expand

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 plotI 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.… 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 film would have been AMAZING if only people like the film for the contents of the characters and not the race of the characters.… Expand

Giving this movie an almost perfect score is absolute non-sense. Chadwick Boseman is a fantastic actor and I liked his portrayal of Black Panther in the other Marvel movies (Civil War and Infinity War) but his role in his own movie fell flat. Not because of his acting, but he wasn't given much from the writers. The coolest characters were the villains and side characters. The Dialogue was flat and the humor was pretty much non-existent. The action scenes were OK at times but fell short because of the bad CGI and lazy choreography. The last fight scene looked like something out of 2008. I own all the Blade movies on VHS and I was happy to see a new black super hero for a change. It just didn't do it justice and Black Panther deserves better. Overall, it wasn't terrible and I would rank it right in the middle of the rest of the Marvel movies out there so far.… Expand

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.

There were times during this movie that we're just straight-up cringe. For example, I get how Tony Stark could become a genius. The prodigy son of a famous inventor who was already extremely wealthy. And spent a lot of his lifetime trying to live up to his father.

The whole premise of the young lady who is basically Tony Stark 2.0 was just unbelievable. You can't expect the audience to buy into this type of character. And the same goes for Shuri. How do you bypass so many other qualified women and men and then choose to make Shuri BP. And then overnight she suddenly a master of martial arts....

At this point why not just Mass produce that flower if it can be made so easily and give those powers to everyone in the kingdom? You apparently don't need any prior qualifications.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Black Panther, dirigida por Ryan Coogler, es una película que rompió barreras y dejó una huella importante en el cine. Con una representación poderosa y un impacto cultural significativo, esta película trajo consigo una historia importante y personajes memorables.

Uno de los puntos fuertes de Black Panther es su reparto excepcional. Chadwick Boseman brilla en el papel principal como T'Challa / Black Panther, llevando consigo una presencia carismática y una determinación inspiradora. El elenco de apoyo, incluyendo a Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Letitia Wright y Michael B. Jordan, también brinda actuaciones sólidas y creíbles, aportando profundidad y complejidad a sus respectivos personajes.

La película presenta una visión visualmente impresionante de Wakanda, el reino ficticio de Black Panther. La dirección de arte y el diseño de producción son exquisitos, capturando la riqueza cultural y la tecnología avanzada del lugar. Además, la banda sonora de Ludwig Göransson, que fusiona ritmos africanos con elementos modernos, complementa perfectamente la estética visual y añade una capa adicional de inmersión a la experiencia cinematográfica.

Black Panther también destaca por su mensaje poderoso sobre la identidad, el legado y la responsabilidad. La película aborda temas como el racismo, la opresión y la lucha por la igualdad de una manera audaz y significativa. Al situar la narrativa en el contexto de un país africano rico y avanzado, Black Panther desafía los estereotipos y ofrece una representación positiva de la cultura africana.

Sin embargo, a pesar de sus logros, Black Panther presenta algunas debilidades en términos de desarrollo de personajes y ritmo narrativo. Algunos de los personajes secundarios podrían haber sido más explorados, ya que parecen subutilizados y carecen de una motivación clara en la historia. Además, la trama a veces se siente desequilibrada, con momentos de ritmo lento que contrastan con secuencias de acción más emocionantes.

Aunque Black Panther se esfuerza por ofrecer una historia sólida y equilibrada, algunas decisiones narrativas y la forma en que se resuelven los conflictos pueden resultar predecibles. Aunque la película tiene momentos impactantes y emotivos, no logra mantener una coherencia narrativa constante en toda su duración.

En resumen, Black Panther es una película que dejó una marca importante en la industria cinematográfica y en la cultura popular. Con su representación inspiradora, su visión visualmente impresionante y su mensaje poderoso, la película se convirtió en un hito en la historia del cine de superhéroes. Aunque presenta algunas debilidades en términos de desarrollo de personajes y ritmo narrativo, sigue siendo una experiencia valiosa y significativa que vale la pena ver.… Expand

Regarding Marvel movies, seriously almost all of them are overrated. Knowing nothing about the Black Panther comics, the film doesn't introduce the characters to someone who doesn't know who they are. I was lost the first half of the movie. On top of that, it just didn't make sense. How does vibranium, a metal, create all the tech advancements in Wakanda? The suit I get. Hard metal = bulletproof. But Marvel treats it like its the cure all - medical remedies, magnetic railways and future tech. Thats just lazy. If anything Wakanda could trade it and make a fortune on it boosting their economy and creating their futuristic metropolis. But thats not the case. Its kept a secret, which brings me to the message of the movie - Wakanda hiding while blacks across the world suffer. That is true, they are kinda bad for not helping their neighbors when they were being put in bondage. I won't spoil the story but its kinda like the Lion King. The visuals in this movie are pretty cool and the acting is good but the fights were just meh. I actually was bored most of the time. Just wasn't my cup of tea.
