Bad. By every metric and consideration this is bad. Perhaps the worst movie in this genre since Green Lantern.

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

While not a white-majority superhero movie, Black Panther does not exactly exceed any other Avengers film, but simply a combination of repetitive actions that we've all seen before.

Chadwick Boseman was great in 42 and I own that movie on Blu-ray, Dania Girira is great in TWD and Angela Bassett is great in 911 and AHS. Also I didn't think that Martin Freeman felt right in his part, it seemed a little forced. So many Marvel movies are better than this, like Iron Man "2008," X Men "2000," X2 "2003," Deadpool, Doctor Strange, The Avengers "2012", Guardians of the Galaxy "2014" Captain America Winter Soldier and Civil War. All of these movies listed are better, in my opinion, but Black Panther is better than Thor "The Dark World" and X Men "the Last Stand" but it is nothing special and Definitely Not Worth A Score of 88, AT ALL...… Expand

All in all a poor representation of what could have been done with this set of characters. I came away feeling 'let down', especially given all the glowing reviews I'd heard.

The movie has an AMAZING cast, which they totally send to waste with bad dialogue and quick deaths. It starts in an amazing way, fooling you in believing that you will see a quality movie; but it ends up being a Marvel movie, and one on the low level. It has a weak story and a villain that ends up not living up to the expectations. 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. Everyone hope to see a strong statement on racism or even a good superhero introduction, but it shows us again that Disney does not knows what to do with its movies.… Expand

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

Like my review's first few sentences, they just seem like they could be worded in a more coherent fashion. Fight scenes were definitely fun to watch although i did not enjoy some of the scenes filmed at night because the camera work was too shaky and it was hard to tell exactly what was taking place on the screen. Third act had some great camera work and great fight scenes however. The story was quite linear; you knew the entire time where story would lead, what the "twist" would be and how it would be resolved. All in all, it was another decent entry in MCU. One thing i always complained about when it comes to MCU movies is their color contrast or rather lack of it. This movie did have moment of vibrant colors mixed into its cinematography which made it more fun and appealing to watch. Comedy was present as it always is in MCU but this movie was able to go a good job keeping the tone serious since it was warranted considering the plot. There were a couple of points in the movie where it felt a bit slow and felt dragged on especially in the second act but picked up near the end which made up for it. It doesn't necessarily have to be seen in theaters but def is worth a watch if you are action movie genre fan and especially if you are a superhero/mcu fan.… Expand

First, the bad news
After watching this movie twice one thing is really bugging me, the fight scenes.What a missed opportunity. Civil war set BP up as a martial arts bad ass with a fighting presence similar to Bruce Lee. The BP movie kinda strips that cool factor away with poorly shot fight scenes.In a way, it's like TDK cus the fight scenes were **** in that but the story was superb.

Now for the good news
Killmonger, killmonger, **** Loved Killmonger! Not only was he sympathetic, he was right about EVERYTHING. If BP and Kilmonger could work together somehow it would have been beautiful. 2 panthers! 1 like MLK and the other like Huey P Newton both complimenting and balancing each other. I liked all the characters and personalities in this film. I liked the different tribes and their colors and outfit. The art direction and costume designs were off the **** CHAIN! if they don't win an Oscar for that it will be a blatant snub. The Dora Milaje were amazing and hot and I never thought Michone from walking dead was hot, but "damn." Umbaku was fun and I liked his sense of honor. Everyone did a great job even Martin Freeman even tho he didn't really need to be there. Back to Killmonger. He delivers a line in this movie that made me tear up cus it was true and it was tragic and that's his whole character. I just can't say enuff good things about Micheal B Jordan in this movie. I loved the relationships between the characters they all felt real especially between BP and his sister Shuri. I'll be re-watching this film for the rest of my life.

...and now for the ugly news
Too much CG. Practical effects should have been utilized more and the cam shakes too much.

...and the weird

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

You won't see anything new in this movie that Marvel hasn't already done. Acting is poor, CGI is the worst in MCU. You could predict what will happen in the end after seeing the first 15 minutes of it.
Black Panther was much more epic in Civil War.

The Black Panther is a good film but, afterFollowing T'Chaka's death his son T'Challa returns to the advanced, but secretive, African nation of Wakanda to assume the throne. Unfortunately this transition is not going to be a peaceful one.

The Black Panther is a good film but, after seeing so many extremely positive reviews, I couldn’t help but come away a little disappointed. The significant use of African culture and traditions does make a pleasant change from the over familiar New York setting, perhaps doing more than anything else to set it apart from other Marvel movies. There is also no shortage of interesting characters, including one of the most interesting ‘bad guys’ in Micheal B Jordan’s Erik. Personally however I found the pacing to be a little uneven at times and there was more than one occasion where a felt a little disinterested in proceedings. Overall the action scenes were also somewhat lacking compared to the best the Marvel movies have offered in the past and it was actually a little difficult to see what was going on during some of the fights with so many quick camera cuts. A good movie but not as entertaining as the best Marvel has offered over the past decade or so.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unfortunately I found this movie sub par in pretty much every respect. The story line was slow and dragged out. The action was really hit and miss, with laughable power differences between characters (an armoured rhino was considered the hidden "power" weapon of the movie). Additionaly they killed of the two most interesting characters of the black panther Universe in this film "Killemonger" and "Klaw", easily the two most charismatic and well acted roles in this movie. The storyline was oddly racist towards people not of African descent, I know I know its a ficitonal African country, but still, its an odd message to have as the major plot point of the film.

The only major posoitive that i found i had for this film were the visual effects, the "sand/Dust?" hologram tech was really well done.

Apart from this you can easily give this film a miss, as it contibutes next to nothing to the MCU, part from taking away two of its best characters. (Literaly nothing happens, the end of the film leaves the story in the same palce as the start of it)… Expand

When I say "theIn most movies, there is a point (or three) when I look at my clock, hoping things will end soon. There was no such boredom-point in Black Panther. The visuals were gorgeous, the action exciting, and the world intriguing.
When I say "the visuals were gorgeous," I mean jaw-dropping. It was a huge part of why the movie worked so well for me. The plot and characters were fine, but the look was what made me invest emotionally. Colorful, exuberant, textured, and sleek.
The only thing I felt was a real problem with the movie was the main villain. They tried so hard to make him hip and relatable that it frequently felt like he didn't belong in the movie. That may have been intentional, playing up the outsider vibe, but it broke the immersion for me. Also? There were times it felt like he was pandering, sort of a "We cool, and I'm'a spout lines that let you know we deserve awards." He almost brought my rating down to an eight. (But the movie did give me war-rhinos, and those are worth almost a whole point by themselves.)
Warning: the fight scenes, battle, and car chase and such are kickass, but you may grow bored if you aren't also interested in seeing another culture. Parts of the Thor movies take place in Asgard, but it's only a backdrop rather than something that matters... in contrast, Wakanda feels very present and relevant within Black Panther. Somehow, this movie made me feel like a participant in the ceremony and affairs of a mythical/sci-fi African kingdom. Weird, but awesome.… Expand

One on hand, the critics are raving for this movie, saying it is a "game-changer" and things of the sort, but on the other hand, we have regular people saying the movie is "decent". I, like the majority of those that have seen this film, would have to agree that it is simply...decent. I cannot disagree more with the critics when they say that this movie is "game-changing" and "revolutionary", because if you get past the nice visual effects, this film is rather dull, not to mention cliché.

Not even half an hour into this film, I found myself wanting it to end, or at least begin living up to the hype, but the unfortunate truth is that something of the sort never came around. The action was really the only thing keeping this movie afloat, that and the visual effects which seem to be the best part of this production. At times I was simply in awe of how beautiful some of the scenery was, only for that admiration to be decimated by your classic superhero-movie-moment, or, perhaps even worse, a very cheesy joke. In my opinion, the dialogue is so bad, it rivals the Star Wars prequels, and that is an accusation I would never take lightly.

So, if you're like me and have been a huge fan of the MCU, definitely see this film because you won't feel like you wasted time on this film. Keep in mind, however, no matter what the critics say, there is nothing that this film does that has not been done in nearly every single superhero film to date. Not revolutionary, simply entertaining.… Expand

Fights are lame, way behind Winter Soldier and Civil War, it's very sentimental and naive. I liked Wakanda, costumes and cast, but the story is just... boring, a lot of talk but nothing going on generally.

But, even seeing this a week after it came out, I loved BP. The world-building was terrific and the cinematography absolutely beautiful. Unlike some recent superhero movies, I found the entire cast of characters compelling (Serkis was far better as Klaue (Klaw) in this than in his brief cameo in Age of Ultron). The action scenes were underplayed, if anything, but effective. There were a few bits of clunky dialog, but it really didn't matter. This was the freshest Marvel movie for me since the first Avengers.… Expand

I honestly think it's one of the better Marvel films and is, for the most part, visually astounding. The writing is pretty standard for a Marvel film, it's formulaic but it gets the job done well enough to entertain the intended audience. This film wasn't so much created to be a statement or offer a different outlook on life or the world around us. This film isn't Logan, which took the concepts of death and depression and used them in various aspects of the narrative. Nor is it as fun and offensive as Deadpool. It's meant to make money while entertaining a broad audience, which it does. Some of the visuals in this film were taken straight out of the comics and look almost watercolor at times, which I thought was really interesting. There are many other aspects of the visuals that I thought were honestly astounding while there were a few (more specifically the rhinos) that looked like they were right out of an old PS3 video game.

The soundtrack is comprised of a mixture of rap, hip-hop, and traditional African music. I honestly really liked this soundtrack and it was honestly great to see something original rather than having them use licensed music.

Will I be buying this for myself when it comes out? Probably not, but I wouldn't be disappointed if I received it as a gift or a birthday present.… Expand

Another broken black boy to fix. Doesn't sound so great, does it? This is what "comedy" we get out of BP. Although towards a white guy.

This is what "comedy" we get out of BP. Although towards a white guy. I'm not calling it racist, I just feel some things should be left out all together. I found this movie to just be so/so. It felt very drawn out and slow paced, and I feel like Klaue should have been utilized a little more than what he was. Whatever your feelings, I don't enjoy movies that feel like they are pushing an agenda, and this one felt like it did. Just like with Wonder Woman. Its an okay addition to super hero movies with scores that are puffed up by the media.… Expand

Black Panther is honest to god, one of the best superhero movies ever made. Everything about this movie just worked. This movie has been getting a lot of hype, as well as a lot of hate, and going in, I was hesitant. Getting to excited about movies like this can lead to disappointment, which can really suck. This movie is not disappointing, this movie is exceptional. Ryan Coogler brings his all to this film, and it shows. Just like Creed, his love for long take fights shows through an incredible casino tracking shot. The best thing about this movie is the characters. We all have been hearing about how amazing Michael B. Jorden is in the movie, and I can say that they are right, damn right. He is by far the best MCU villain. I don’t really want to give anymore away, so all I’ll say is that this is a near perfect movie, and I god damn loved it.… Expand

Whilst the majority of the actors where phenomenal, I was questioning Martin Freeman's role in the movie throughout and although Chadwick Boseman was good, it didn't feel like to me he was much of a lead. Having said that, it is definitely one of the best movies Marvel has yet to offer, and its powerful energy makes a grand entrance for Avengers Infinity War.… Expand

OK and good characters but at end of day the plot and politics didnt hold together. Why didnt the Wakanadans share their material at the start. Why did they always assume that the world was out to get them?

I can't get over the hysteria surrounding the film. I understand these-days investors need that sort of drama to promote and perpetuate the films success - a controversy, but I find it incredibly off-putting. Seems like a cheap trick.

Maybe if ten years from now, I was a child binge watching super-hero films, I might take it at face value. But, as an adult now, I can't let my finances support these political edge movies are requiring I.e. Wonderwoman - Feminist Movement, The Danish Girl - Trans movement.

For the record, I'm cool with women. I'm cool with blacks. I'm cool with trans LGBTQ+++. I just don't want to buy a ticket to prove I'm cool with people. Theses outside associations are super seeding the quality of the film and how we make films. There's something for everybody, I guess. Can't we just make movies without the additional angle?… Expand

Look, I’d look past that issue if it weren’t a SUPERHERO MOVIE. Show me super heroes! Acting was okay— CGI was awesome and that’s why it gets a 3. If you’re expecting a totally action packed marvel movie; be wary. The action is scarce in a wildly confusing and long boring plot with a pretty boring villain. Sad the SJWS HAVE to like the movie because of its black cast. It just objectively a bad film. Stay away.… Expand

Sadly didn't live up the hype for me. It was just an alright pretty good beautiful film with pacing issues and sometimes a lack of focus problem.
