This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was not the worst in the MCU, but it was not great, low on action, which is disappointing because the main action sequence was awesome. Story line was good, but made the movie way to long. Hollywood needs to stay out of politics and make good art, this movie was almost ruined because of politics and the far left making this out to be some kind of revolution, when it was a about a comic book character and a MADE UP African nation. Coogler needs to stick with dramas like Apollo and away from these type action films, the cgi was almost as bad as Superman's non mustache and not far from Ang's Hulk. Not a bad film, better than Iron Man 3, level with the Thor 1 and 2, I'd put it around number 8. Would have been in my top 3 if it were a Netflix series instead of a box office movie… Expand

It wasn't a superhero film that was made for the sake of money. The problem with a lot of these Marvel movies is that they did so well with the Avengers that they just stopped caring about making subsequent films that actually had any real substance. I'm talking about films like Thor: The Dark World, Spiderman Homecoming, Captain America Civil War, Iron Man 2 & 3. They were nice to watch, but I couldn't be bothered to sit through them again. They were made to hype you up for the Avenger films and clean your pockets if I'm being honest. Black Panther, on the other hand, was very different from any Marvel film. Its nice to see a film that has a little culture in it. Its not just another superhero film with a bland cast and predictable plot lines. I loved the dynamic between the characters, I loved that the villain wasn't bad for the sake of being evil, and yeah, the film might have been influenced by the Lion King in some respect but who cares, who doesn't love the Lion King? The acting was amazing--the casting was perfect. I loved that the film wasn't afraid to go into some very real and dark subjects. I just hope that Marvel will see the importance of this film and continue to make heroes that showcase different communities.… Expand

This makes me sad, because although this movie has flaws, it is in no way deserving of the low user scores that it's receiving. It was honestly one of my favorite Marvel movies so far and to come up with a new unique story after so many other superhero stories have already been told in film and to do it in such fashion is really impressive.

There are some small parts where they drop the ball, in introducing too many different groups and too many story lines. But even dropping the ball on that one thing, the movie is leaps and bounds better than any, yes ANY DC movie, in story telling and in visuals. Oh my the visuals are stunning! So many colors and cool tech. I wish we could have more time in Wakanda to get a better sense of what Wakandan life is like!

The soundtrack is easily the best of any superhero movie out there and on par with any movie soundtrack save for TRON, which is easily the best soundtrack of all time.

I beg you to read this review as someone who has seen all of the Marvel movies twice that this might be the best one yet, no joke.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oh man was this movie bad and I love Marvel movies and I enjoy Black Panther the character. The actors for the most part were great. The writing was awful, story has nothing to do with the Marvel timeline besides showing of Wakanda. Cringe dialogue, totally predictable slow moving plot and lots of stuff that doesn't make sense. A hidden city the size of Atlanta in Africa, where no one reveals its secrets? Millions of people living in perfect Utopia in a modern society and the tech or secrets never get out(besides one person) for 100's of years? The action is so bad - ignores physics so many times. Turning a speeding car by reaching down from the roof and digging claws into the pavement lol? Throwing spears from the top of a speeding car, through the car in front of you to spike it, by a lady with no super strength? Falling from 200 feet to the pavement with just a Panther suit and no injuries(even the War Machine was almost Paralyzed when he fell). Just so much bad with this movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved the first act. The scene in the casino with that one dude that was missing an arm was really entertaining, and I was hoping for more action of the main characters fighting in other countries. But, they just kind of ended that abruptly and went in a completely different direction with the plot. The first villain was entertaining and had a funny personality. The second villain was stupid and his personality was just revenge. The love side plot was predictable, but not distracting to the story. They did a good job of explaining the backstory of the country and the whole deal with the father and his brother. The ending was **** and got confusing. I liked most of the characters, music, and design of the futuristic dealies. The ending was the main thing that ruined for me. I liked where it was going in the beginning, but over all...

MahbubAli92Feb 18, 2018

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. - The first structural problem with the story is that the first half up until Killmonger (LOL @ that name) shows up is a pointless head fake. We don't care about "Ulysses Klaw" or what he did 30 years before the movie starts, so hunting him and his 5lb slab of MacGuffinite isn't an interesting or constructive motivation. Its only purpose is to set up the Shocking Twist where Killmonger emerges as the real villain with a totally separate villain agenda of his own, at which point the real movie begins. Not an effective use of runtime.

- The second problem is that Chadwick Boseman (LOL at this name too, also I'm 99% sure this guy is just a palette swap of Chiwetel Ejiofor) doesn't really have a character arc or any internal conflict. On this front the movie compares unfavorably to the somewhat similar Thor, which was still pretty meh but at least forced its title character to grow and develop. The decision Boseman makes at the end of the movie to open Wakanda up to the world is arbitrary, and his very sensible initial reasons for refusing to do so are never addressed.

- The thing that jumped out at me most about the aesthetics is the way they deliberately avoided making the Wakandans sophisticated and civilized in any way other than their technology. Other than the sci-fantasy trappings they are 100% face-painted, ritual-scarified, garishly-dressed, bone-in-nose, ancestor-worshiping, ape-hooting (yes, Man-Ape is in the movie, though they never call him by that name) savages straight out of the opening of Zulu. It's very cargo cult, and leads to bizarre moments like the ending battle where some people are fighting with high-tech pulse rifles and fighter drones while others do melee combat with ordinary spears and yet others fight with RHINO CAVALRY. Ultimately though none of the Wakandan technology is any more impressive than the SHIELD helicarrier or the stuff Tony Stark has been building in his garage for the last 10 years.

- There's lots of blurry, weightless, underwhelming CGI, especially in the big final setpiece. Some of the Black Panther stuff didn't look much better than the original Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movie.

- Marvel heroes vary a lot in how powerful they are portrayed, and in this case the guy is just good at gymnastics and kang fu and has a bulletproof suit. Makes for stale fight scenes, especially since for 2 of them he doesn't even have his suit or powers available. Say what you will about Ant-Man and Dr Strange, they at least had visually interesting and creative action.

- "Killmonger" is one of the better villains the MCU has had (a low bar), mostly because he's just about the only guy in the movie with a personality. Still, Michael B. Jordan has yet to top the naturalism of his performance as a low-level drug dealer in season 1 of The Wire. In case you were curious his big villainous plot is to usurp the throne of Wakanda and distribute its technology to black folk around the world so they can use it to kill whitey (after he seizes power the rest of the noble, enlightened Wakandans just shrug and go along with his plan, because the script requires it). I can just about guarantee there are SJW types writing articles right now arguing that he is the true hero of the movie.

- There are snarky little digs at whites sprinkled throughout, but less than I expected. The main thing that sticks in my mind is the smugness that gets directed at whites who ignorantly mistake Wakandans for typical Africans and not SECRET CYBER-KANGZ. They also take a limp little shot at Trump in the final UN speech where a character talks about needing to "build bridges, not barriers".

- Final thought: the metaphysics of the Marvel universe are really screwed up at this point. Advanced galaxy-spanning alien civilizations are real, Norse gods are real (though they're technically just more aliens), ancient African animistic voodoo spirits are real, Eastern hippie stoner magic is real, superhuman AI is real, hyper-powerful reality-warping space gems are real, secret 80-year-old Nazi conspiracies are real, and of course Kangz are real as real can be, bigot. They've long since given up pretending any of this hangs together coherently. Compared to the painstaking way Nolan managed the setting of the Dark Knight movies or Snyder handled the Man of Steel movies, it really makes the unwieldy, spackled-over nature of the MCU stand out.… Expand

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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What is with all the hate for this movie from people who haven't even seen it yet? BLACK PANTHER IS OUTSTANDING!!! This movie is not unique because it's a movie about the first Black superhero ever created, or anything else of racial matters. Rather, tt has qualities that surpass many other Marvel or superhero films and makes a really compelling story with some outstanding qualities in terms of its characters, dialogue, tension, set design, and action .
Perhaps the most outstanding aspect that Black Panther has to offer is it's use and development of characters, and the well written dialogue. Like most other Marvel movies, it has some pretty funny lines, but many of the scenes and dialogue are serious and the tension you feel while watching it is great, even if there's no action going on, because the actors are doing a great job. And every single character is likable and useful to the story and none of them are pointless nor useless (*cough cough*Last Jedi). You really care about all these characters no matter what their ideals or motivations are, and they all fit perfectly in the story with their own set of unique purposes. And this goes especially for the main villain , Killmonger, who has very clear motivations and are developed and told in the story in brilliant fashion. You feel for and understand his struggles and is a much more important and outstanding villain than pretty much any other Marvel villain, who are mostly just disposable and forgettable. My personal favorite is Shuri because she's a very likable character being T'Challa's younger sister with her witty comments and you know how much she loves her brother when she helps him with her technological knowledge and assistance as he goes through his struggles and challenges to become the new King of Wakanda. Another aspect of the film that is also outstanding is the action sequences and set design . The set design and color palette are much more improved nd defined than a loth of other Marvel films, and there much to appreciate about the set up of Wakanda and it really feels like it actually exists in the real world. Sure, some of the green screen effects/CGI are kind of noticeable but for me that doesn't really doesn't distract me from how much amazing tension there is in the action sequences. Every fight/battle (especially in the climax) are thrilling and are done so well that it pulls you in to it's majesty. I felt some shivers and shakiness from these action sequences because they are brilliantly directed. And one last outstanding topic to cover: this movie does well on it's own and it not forgettable. Sure, it's the movie right before Infinity War and could've been just a set up movie for that .but no, it really stands out as it's own story, and with little to no ties to other Marvel movies and does not waste time setting up Infinity War or anything like that. In fact, you don't really need to watch any other marvel movies prior to this one because Black Panther works on its own as a great, almost game changing experience. Even though it's not perfect and it does kinda feel bland a little bit in the first act, it goes above and beyond towards the second and third act with all of it's action, tension, character development, and dialogue to make probably the most thoughtful and well-written/directed Marvel movies to date. Props to Ryan Coogler, the screenwriters, and all the actors who made Black Panther happen. Wakanda Forever!!!… 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

Start and ending are boring and generic although picks up well in the middle, cgi is fairly dated and the pacing makes this movie feel too long. Wouldn't recommend to anyone but for 3.50 it was OK, I'm sure Disney & Marvel will mage their money back.

Also the actors/actress in this film where all giving such amazing performances. Particularly Michael B Jordan's villain. Easily one of the best Marvel villains. ...The biggest issue with the film. Sadly being something that does still get stuck in the stereotypical traits of most Marvel Flicks. I wanted more culture, politics and internal conflict, almost espionage like thrills. Not intense over-the-top explosion battles. Also the cgi is really crap at a few moments.… Expand

After watching Black Panther, I thought..hmm...not bad...I liked.
But the more I read about it, all the controversies and hate around it just makes my memories of that movie be more foggy. Both political sides took this movie and threw into one another with stupid comments and statements. As a Marvel fan, superhero movie fan, a MOVIE FAN, I liked this movie as a movie, it had some issues like the CGI in the end fight and how dark the scenes where (a little light would have made it better) and some minor problems with movie logic/writing. but the cast is amazing! The villain is great. Cinematography and music is great and yet we see people on twitter saying "if you make bad review you are racist" or "if you are white you cannot watch this movie"...
how can you be a SANE person and take this as a normal behaviour? Anyways, 7/10 is a GOOD score and that's how i rate my enjoyment of the movie. This score is not affected by the politics surrounding the movie.

I will permanently move to Metacritic now for my reviews.… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

If I decide to see the movie instead of waiting for 20 minute action youtube cut, I expect to see the damn action. The visuals are nice, the production is high, but who gives a **** honestly, thats a marvel standard nowadays, the movie isnt gonna get a plus points for that.

As someone who doesn't like SJW's or BLM for that matter, I have to say this film was actually pretty good. I liked it quite a bit. And I think a lot of Republicans or Conservatives actually don't realize that Black Panther is actually quiteAs someone who doesn't like SJW's or BLM for that matter, I have to say this film was actually pretty good. I liked it quite a bit. And I think a lot of Republicans or Conservatives actually don't realize that Black Panther is actually quite a good role model for Conservatives, let me explain why.

Where the film is strongest is in these areas.

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

Where the film is weakest in areas.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

-Weakness

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

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really wanted to like Black Panther. I mean it's a marvel movie it has to be awesome! Right?!?

The intro starts out good, but the movie slows to a crawl story wise and between the laughable acting and horrible group choreography, I was left nodding off for the better part of the first half of the movie. Things finally pick by the time the movie hits the Korea sequence but the budget must have run out for the CGI as the last half of the movie looks worse than many Playstation 2 cut scenes and the laughter and chatter throughout the theatre about said CGI confirmed that it wasn't just me. Kill Monger was way over acted and everyone else other than Klaue literally seemed there just for a paycheck or fresh out of acting school.

To sum up Black Panther in one word though... It would be "Boring".… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Too bad that METACRITIC does not have review standards because the online trolls are out in force for this film. Although not quite perfect, 'Black Panther' is a certain game changer for Marvel Studio's future productions. Black Panther is a super hero film that was long overdue with a mostly all black cast and a structure that superbly portrays black African culture of the past, present, future, and the world of African myth. There is plenty of action for fans of fights, magic, and car chases, but there is also a lot fo exposition for those of us who like to think as well. It is the thoughtful script that should stick with you long after the action fades from your memory. A repeat viewing is almost a necessity to absorb the conflicting views of the 2 sides of the disagreement between the two factions of the royalty of Wakanda who see the role of the advanced civilization of Wakanda very differently. The film leaves out a lot of the plot elements and characters that the old Black Panther comic had but that should not bother most viewers. This film is still a stunning achievement by Marvel and certainly changes the studio's status among its peers as a major player in the business of film making.
My only real disappointment are the action sequences, which though well made, are somewhat too fast, too quickly edited, and too confusing for these tired aged eyes.… Expand

In case you didn't know it: Disney did not create the Black Panther, nope, they bought him (comparison to historical evils is intentional) and milked him for all he's worth. To make matters worse, if you are old enough to remember, the character was created in precisely the opposite spirit of this trite, overly-politicized nonsense. There are some decent performances, but otherwise this film is devoid of any merit whatsoever, even within the context of the MCU.

While it can be considered that both, Marvel and Disney are already abusing a bit of it is also fair to recognize that this is necessary in order to continue adding new characters to their franchise, especially considering all the actors who will end their contract with Avengers: Infinity War and its sequel.

But talking about the film, well I can say it's quite entertaining, it's fun, at last the humor flows correctly and not as overwhelmingly as it had happened in the last MCU films, especially in Thor: Ragnarok.
The cast is great, Chadwick Boseman has taken over the character and I can see him becoming the leader the franchise would need in the future. Michael B. Jordan makes a good villain but for me is not the best that the MCU has seen as a lot of people has been saying, although he has strengths that others do not, his formula is also very practical.
Of the rest, both Danai Gurira and Letitia Wright stand out as two strong female characters, especially Letitia Wrigh as Shuri, who achieves a funny and endearing character, if they allow her character to continue to grow, she can undoubtedly adopt the mantle of the Black Panther as she did in the comic books.

In general, I enjoyed it, Marvel continues to cement its huge cinematographic universe and continues to do so in a really good way. For me it's not one of the best movies of the MCU but without doubt it's quite pleasant, amusing and gratifying.

And now we've finally reached the crucial point, c'mon Marvel, surprise the world and give us the best superhero movie with Infinity War.… Expand

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

Acting was amazing, accents and all, and all the fight scenes were fell executed. The film struck the right balance between politics and action/superhero, and it didn't feel preachy, and the story was riveting and very interesting to watch. Waiting impatiently for the next BP movie, and even more so what happens in Infinity Wars (WATCH THE END CREDITS)… Expand

Jordan's character was said to rival Heath Ledger's joker. Okay. I really hoped the movie would be great and offer something different - especially since Black Panther was always a huge favorite of mine and I thought had some of the most creative writing and setting vs. the generic "Gotham" location. Instead we got a boring movie that is clearly only being hyped up because of the current political situation in the USA. The movie was bland, the fight scenes were boring. The acting was nothing special though Michael B. Jordan was clearly the standout - but to compare him to Heath Ledger is laughable at best. Honestly, I would have fell asleep if it wasn't for the constant clapping and cheering from my fellow millenials. For scenes we've seen before and a story we've seen before. But sure.

I wish we got a real Black Panther movie that was really something different. Not this watered down, cliche-driven movie we got.

To those giving this high praise because we "finally" got a black superhero movie (as if that makes a movie better), I'd just say that Spawn and Blade did it already. And they did it better.… Expand

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

The black community is not the only community to suffer racism. White communities, Asian communities, etc. In spite the fact that in this county that we still base everything on ethnicity is horrifying. I DO NOT consider myself Chinese-American only American. It is very sad to see this kind of movie and not feel connected at all to the characters. There is no inclusion or connection. It is about us versus them as per usual. Didn't exactly help there was media about how people are supporting children in poor black communities to see the movie. What about everyone else who may not be able to see the movie who are in a low income area. I didn't realize being poor was only limited to the black community. The only thing good to come out of this movie as the badass women who did a great job of being badass women. I clearly felt that women did not need to be protected or taken care of but it would be nice to have a partner in life not a requirement.… 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

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 also knew, hollywood critics would give it the Get Out treatment. Movies that portray women and blacks in a positive roll will automatically get perfect scores. 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. Im not giving it a zero because thats just ridiculous. But for me it barely held my attention so 5 it is.… Expand

A personal pet peeve is trial by combat, it was stupid to portray an advanced culture and a primitive practice; this is also a major plot point in the movie; did the writers get there jobs by trial of combat, it seems so. The action scenes were contrived, the scenes jumped around a bit, the music was all of dumb, the story was watchable but not "Gladiator", level.

My usual complaints with the MCU after like the first Avengers movie is that they lack any real voice and instead they are just standard, safe but fun movies that are shot rather blandly. And while Black Panther has the same look as a regular MCU film, Ryan Coogler's voice is heard! He adds a distinct style and layer to the MCU cannon, not just with some subtle social commentary, but also that it just feels like more effort was made for Coogler to have his spin on it than just some generic Hollywood director to be involved. The acting is great all around, with Chadwick Boseman being great as the main lead, Michael B Jordan is great as the antagonist, Killmonger (who is also one of the best main antagonists the MCU have, right up there with Loki and Vulture), and Letita Wright nearly stealing the show as Shuri, which is no easy task with Andy Serkis being gleefully menacing. The story is also well crafted too with themes of old vs. new of traditions, with the previously mentioned subtle social commentary sprinkled in there to give the story more weight to certain audiences. The comedy is great too, as instead of being overloaded with jokes like in Thor Ragnarok and even Spider-Man Homecoming, it's well balanced between the main story (although it does have a cringe worthy reference to "WHAT ARE THOSE?"). The only real complain I have is that the action is hard to follow at times due to quick cuts and the camera not focusing on what is going on, as well as the core soundtrack curated by Kendrick Lamar being underutilized.

This movie is fantastic and I would rank it highly in the MCU cannon.… Expand

There are some complex social political overtones mixed in, but it never feels heavy handed, and I feel that the over-all message is positive for humanity as a whole.

Ok,so before we start,I just want to say that,since i'm a good person at heart,i'm going to say what went wrong with this movie too,since this movie is not flawless,that being said...Enjoy!
With all the new releases from MARVEL StudiosOk,so before we start,I just want to say that,since i'm a good person at heart,i'm going to say what went wrong with this movie too,since this movie is not flawless,that being said...Enjoy!
With all the new releases from MARVEL Studios (Spider-Man Homecoming or Thor Ragnarok),it might be a clichè to say that Black Panther is a great movie,but I would mostly define it as 'the most intelligent movie in the MCU.
Don't get me wrong,I loved their previous efforts,especially the recent Spider-Man Homecoming,but after a 'BOOM!' and a 'KA-POW!',Ryan Coogler (Creed and Fruitvale Station) decides to stop and do something that I think 'X-Men (2000)' and the whole DCEU should've done better: Giving us a 'realistic' look at superheroes,how superheroes can sometimes be threatened by the Government. All of that while giving us a fascinating look at Wakanda,T'Challa's hometown,a city so technological Apple would really blush.
Accompained by an excellent Production Design and some impressive cinematography by the Oscar-Nominated Rachel Morrison,as well as the score by Creed's Ludwig Gorasson and the rather bombastic soundtrack by Kendrick Lamar,this movie tries its best to shine in detail,a thing that even Jordan Peele tried to do with Get Out (2017). And holy smokes,it does...
Of course Boseman gives a great performance as T'Challa,of course Serkis and Freeman are great in this,but I really have to praise Michael B. Jordan (Creed and Fantastic Four 2015) for giving us the best MCU Villain since Loki. With Erik Killmonger,we understand where he's coming from,we understand his motivation,and while he makes stuff go 'BADA-BOOM!' and 'BADA-BING!',you can sometimes side with him because,as said,his motivation was interesting,and I won't spoil it because it needs to be experienced by your own eyes.
Also I have to mention the women in this movie,because,just like the gals in Wonder Woman,they are a treasure in this movie,from Letitia Wright (who plays Shuri,T'Challa's hi-tech sister) to Lupita Nyong'o (T'Challa's ex-girlfiend) and Danai Guirira. They were as charismatic as ever and they had their time to shine in this movie.
Now,as I said in the beginning,i'm going to mention the flaws,because this movie isn't flawless etc...
During the final fight between Black Panther and Killmonger,the CG in the suits was easily noticeable,as if it was a videogame (unlike the entirety of Justice League,where everything was a cartoon),and it was disappointing to see Angela Bassett (Ramonda,T'Challa's mom) being not used as much as the rest of the cast.
Also,from an impressive opening sequence,you're in for a game of 'Where's Waldo?',since Killmonger rarely appears during the whole 1st act of the movie.
But aside from that,Black Panther was a great time at the movies. With an excellent Production Design,Ryan Coogler's impressive way of directing and,obviously,Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa,it was great to see that I can even have a real blast at a movie that isn't Spider-Man 2 (2004).… Expand

Does anyone remember the days when you could go see a movie and people didn't have to be political about it? I remember going to see Blade and Blade II and no one said anything racist or liberal about it whatsoever. I haven't seen this movieDoes anyone remember the days when you could go see a movie and people didn't have to be political about it? I remember going to see Blade and Blade II and no one said anything racist or liberal about it whatsoever. I haven't seen this movie yet but I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy it just like all the other Marvel movies I've seen besides Ghost rider and maybe a couple others. Will I think it's the greatest movie ever made? Probably not... Then again as much as I enjoy Marvel movies I can't think of one of them I would say is the greatest of all time, among all the movies I've seen. I really personally can't stand how racist people have become on both sides of the argument, It's rather pathetic. If a reviewer doesn't like this movie they are met with the brand of being racist or they are threatened. If certain African Americans or hardcore liberals see the movie they claim it as the greatest movie ever made to further some agenda. I don't mean every black person or every liberal by the way. Why are we treating Black Panther the movie like Affirmative Action the movie? We really have to start realizing that it's a fictional movie and the whole point of watching a movie is to try and have fun. Also before anyone attacks this with your agenda supporting comments like "you don't like to see a wealthy black person in a movie"...I really loved Coming to America and it was one of my favorite comedies growing up and if it's on TV I always watch it. If you say I can't stand a black person portraying a super hero... I beg to differ because I love the Blade movies with exception of the third, but I do in fact own all three of them. Funny enough when I was around 19 I sat in a theater to watch the movie "Friday" with an packed audience of 99.9% black folks and though there was a moment of awkwardness by the time the movie was going I was bumping elbows with a complete stranger and laughing my ass off. At that moment color didn't matter and that is the way it should always be. So for people that gave this a movie a 0 or a 10 to further some agenda through a Marvel/Disney movie, YOU are what's wrong with America. You folks are the racists. Now I know there are honest people who really liked this movie and to you I have no ill will and I'm sure there are going to be some who just didn't like the movie. Shouldn't people be able to have a simple honest opinion? I think so. Also I realize there are people that give 0s and 10s like they are handing out candy on Halloween and to those people I will always view you as just trolls or people who can't have rational thoughts but to each their own. As for my score for now I'm giving it a 7 because, well I have not seen it yet but I'm sure it will be at least a good movie considering it was the same guy who did "CREED" , another movie I really enjoyed and of coarse it's a Marvel movie and they have quite a good track record. I wouldn't doubt after seeing it I'll probably think it's a 8 or 9. Until then I ask that people try to understand how foolish you're acting and you may think you're making progress when you are actually further dividing everyone. Put your agendas aside and just go see a movie and enjoy it for what it's worth. If you want to get mad about something, get mad at how much you just payed for a ticket or a large soda. That my friends is ridiculous. I can't wait to see how many racists and trolls show how little they have to do in life and down vote my thoughts. LOL!!!… Expand

Do not trust critics! All positive? Not one negative review? This is not one of the best movies of all time! I've got to give it to Disney, they are on top of their game when it comes to propaganda.

I've got to give it to Disney, they are on top of their game when it comes to propaganda. If people keep spending their money at these formulaic,shat-out, over-hyped movies, they will keep making them! Start reading user reviews, after the movie comes out, and only vaguely watch the professional reviewers, as they obviously make their money from big corporations like Disney.… Expand

This movie is vastly overrated. Though the productions design and acting is solid, it doesn't make up for the terrible CGI and heavy handed political message. I really hoped the politics would just be in the commentary about the film, butThis movie is vastly overrated. Though the productions design and acting is solid, it doesn't make up for the terrible CGI and heavy handed political message. I really hoped the politics would just be in the commentary about the film, but sadly the film dives head first right into the discussion. I just want Hollywood to tell good stories without becoming over political hogwash...that would be so nice.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I came into the movie afraid that it would not live up to the Wakanda-sized hype built up around it. But wow, this was a great movie. Much props to Ryan Coogler because I'm not really a fan of the MCU except for Winter Soldier and Iron Man 1. This is definitely my favorite installment, hands down. The cast was picked out perfectly. Everyone from Chadwick and Lupita to Serkis and Freeman did a phenomenal job. Especially Micheal B. Jordan. They developed Killmonger so well that I almost found myself rooting for him -- not many movies (especially Marvel) have done that to me. Props to Coogler once again. The plot flowed well from beginning to end, leaving hardly any stone unturned. Except for the sneakers gag, I suppose, but that wasn't all *that* important at the end of the day. The world building of Wakanda was amazing. I really got a sense for what this prosperous, but reclusive kingdom was all about. Lastly, the seemless blending on contemporary American hip hop with traditional African sounds was marvelous.

The CGI was probably the weakest point in the film, but those scenes did not last more than 10 seconds at a time, so it was tolerable. I feel like there's hardly any excuse for that in 2018 with such a big budget, but I have certainly seen worse. Some of the humor was a bit off putting, but it doesn't approach the kind of forced humor seen in The Last Jedi, for example.

All in all, I loved this move. 9/10 and I will be seeing it again! As much as I hate following the prolonged MCU, I can say truthfully that I cannot wait to see the 2nd installment of this film.… Expand

This movie had a lot of potential given the material and setting, but the villain was still someone who wants to take over the world, and there were still tons of cheesy dialogue and corny jokes.
