The film had a generic story with a generic villain. The fight scenes could have been much better like in Civil War. Don't bother watching, Thor 2 is better surprisingly.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wakanda is not the typical African country from the outside of the country. As seen to the outside world Wakanda is a very poor country and one the poorest countries in whole world. It is fortified by mountain ranges and has rainforest all around the country. All of these things is to trick the eye of what is really inside of wakanda. Wakanda has some of the best technology in the world but they do not share it with anyone else. Wakanda has the shield that covers over the whole country so no one can really see what is inside. Once you enter the shield you can really see how beautiful the country it is.At the beginning of the movie it describes how the country became so technology advanced and how the black panther rules over Wakanda. Only the people in Wakanda know the true power of its country and they do not want to receive add from anyone else.… Expand

Director Ryan Coogler’s addition to the MCU received acclaim from critics and audiences alike, as well as breaking an impressive $1 billion at the worldwide box office. Perhaps key to the success of Black Panther is the way that it thrills both fans of the superhero flick but also transcends the usual bounds of the genre, in its characters, design and themes. This is a film that subverts the typical Marvel formula, something which is long overdue.
Chadwick Boseman comfortably leads the film as the eponymous hero, venerable monarch by day and suit-sporting vigilante by night. T’Challa rules the nation of Wakanda, a futuristic and technologically advanced utopia shielded by a mask as a third-world nation. T’Challa’s ex-lover, Nakia (played on expected brilliant form by Lupita Nyong’o) fights the case for Wakanda’s moral duty to share the truth of their wealth; this is one of many surprisingly complex questions which weave their way satisfyingly into the narrative. Taking this even further is the film’s villain, Erik Killmonger, a Wakandan isolated from the kingdom, calling for a revolution by black people against their oppressors. Michael B. Jordan is a charismatic villain, wonderful shades of humanity embedded within his performance, providing a fitting and scarily relatable foe for the Black Panther. A spunky ensemble (though prone to spouting exposition) completes the mix, Letitia Wright’s Shuri acting as the Q to T’Challa’s Bond and Martin Freeman delightfully Watson-esque as an obliging CIA agent.
For the most part, Black Panther is a stunning movie to witness, embracing its Afro-futurism with a colourful and vibrant design. The film feels very much buried in its cultural roots, which gives some understanding to the film’s significance. Ludwig Goransson provides a luscious and innovative score and rap numbers courtesy of Kendrick Lamar complement the action. The action sequences in the movie are also riveting; “I never freeze” pronounces T’Challa coolly in an early scene… and neither does the film itself. Pace never lags in relentless and sharp action sequences, gripping the audiences to their seats and, at some points, providing a strong emotional pay-off. The final act is certainly where the film is at its most disappointing, descending into an increasingly loud and banal CGI-fest, which, whilst not uncommon in a Marvel flick, is certainly beneath the calibre of Black Panther. Visual effects are also dodgy at certain instances, oddly plasticky and unfinished-looking. For the most part, however, Black Panther delivers soundly for popcorn moviegoers, never allowing its themes and cultural statements to overtake the pure entertainment.
One only has to see Black Panther to understand the reasons behind its sensation and the whisper of Oscars floating around. Ryan Coogler has crafted a visually staggering blockbuster, which manages to tell an engrossing story, with plenty of popcorn thrills, yet also a remarkably deep cultural message that boasts great relevance. Black Panther is without a doubt one of the most exciting and inventive Marvel outings yet.… Expand

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

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

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

The stench of racism and agenda pushing is blatant and ain't fooling ####.

All for a movie that although has general positive message most would agree with, really doesn't get too political and is actually pretty safe.

With that out of the way, now to the movie itself. Was this the best marvel movie now to date? Probably not. Was it still a fun and refreshing movie to catch? Without a doubt. There wasn't anything groundbreaking with the storyline, however everything you would want at least in an action movie checked all the boxes. Character motivation was believable, there weren't any annoying holes in the storyline, and the villain was reputable. The action scenes weren't on Civil War level, but not many movies are, and they were definitely not void of originality and excitement.… Expand

The whole cast works so great together, especially with Chadwick Boseman's strong lead performance, and Michael B. Jordan's equally strong villain. The story, action, and visuals are all top-notch, and it never gets too silly or carried away with itself like most of the Marvel films do (even though that's what makes them fun either way), but it definitely is refreshing to see a bigger breath of maturity in this film than what I'm used to with most of the other Marvel films. Overall, yes it does have important social commentary behind it too that may seem to take precedence over the actual story and everything else, but really if you ask me, I thought that it blended very well with the rest of the film's aspects.

Marvel president Kevin Feige announced late last year that there will be a noticeable difference between Marvel Films Pre-Infinity War and Post-Infinity War, and the latest release from the studio quite clearly proves this point.

BlackMarvel president Kevin Feige announced late last year that there will be a noticeable difference between Marvel Films Pre-Infinity War and Post-Infinity War, and the latest release from the studio quite clearly proves this point.

Black Panther, mistakenly labeled as the first African-American superhero in cinema: Blade, Storm, War Machine, even Frozone from the Incredibles, has turned into the banner for diversity in the Marvel universe.

Yes, the culture and political standpoints that the film tackles are very relevant and downright powerful at times, yet the mass media seems to want to pigeonhole the film to serve its own political agenda.

The fact of the matter is, Black Panther is a great film because it is a well-executed, well-acted, heartfelt genuine film – that’s all.

The film follows T’Challa who returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation of Wakanda to become king, but when a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk.

One of the first elements that draw attention is the film’s beautiful color palette which is chock full of vibrant African colors, patterns and ultimately captures the African tradition and weaves it throughout the film’s visual landscape and narrative.

Veteran costume designer Ruth Carter’s designs are immersed in the African custom while reflecting the fantastical elements inherent to the mysterious country and culture.

On a visual level, the film is the epitome of an epic, transcending every Marvel film that has come before: from landscapes to costumes, colors, and cinematography.

Ryan Coogler ensures that his paw-prints are all over the film with many of his now established cinematic language clear in Black Panther, which is another first in the MCU.

Utilizing his signature long takes, and a hand-held camera, Coogler enhances the Marvel experience by truly placing the audience in the middle of the action taking place.

However, some of the CGI work in some of the fight sequences, and the warrior rhinos was noticeable and felt a bit like watching a computer animation film – this may have been an effect of budgetary purposes due to the film’s high production value.

The second most powerful element in the film was its narrative.

Taking on narrative beats that are more akin to Greek Mythology and Joseph Campbell’s The Hero’s Journey than typical superhero tale, Black Panther again breaks out of the formula that its predecessors had established.

It trades in two-dimensional heroes and villains, global threats, and rushed weighty moments, with complex characters, focused inner threats, and earns every beat it delivers whether it be a laugh, a tear, or a whoop of excitement.

Yet some of the ideologies within the film to cater to the globalist, let’s all join hands and sing Kumbaya mentality, which is fine in a feature film, but much more complicated in real life.

The dialogue smooth and fun also uses African dialects to enrich and ground the film in the world of Wakanda, though two or three lines did refer to real world YouTube jokes (the “what are those” moment) and political situations (refugees and barriers) which in a way is a bit jarring.

Xhosa, one of the official languages of South Africa, was the language of the fictional Wakanda and subsequently, the Xhosa culture lent itself as a touchstone to the Wakandan citizenry.

The decision behind the language choice was made during the filming of Captain America: Civil War, when celebrated South African actor John Kani, who portrayed King T’Chaka, used his native accent and Chadwick Boseman who plays T’Challa, in turn, picked it up.

Building off of that, the film’s cast is then given enough material to truly dig deep into their performances.

This leads to the third powerful element: Black Panther has one of the best performances from an all-star cast ensemble in a Marvel film.

Both Chadwick Boseman and Michael B. Jordan carry the film as protagonist and antagonist, respectively, and give it their all – Boseman as the tortured new ruler of Wakanda, and Jordan as the revolutionary violence prone forgotten son of Wakanda.

The score, a team effort from Kendrick Lamar and Ludwig Goransson, is a vivid audible masterpiece due to its fusion of African culture and instruments.

Overall, the film is a much more than a super-hero film. It is a film about family, duty, and country. Black Panther is a most-welcomed new direction for the MCU and does bring a new level of excitement for the new entries to come.… Expand

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

The strongest point of the film is in its story. Although all theBlack Panther is most definitely an above-average superhero film, but does it deserve the "universal acclaim" that it has received from critics? In my humble opinion, no.

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

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

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

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

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

Villain (The best MCU villain besides Loki)
Wakanda (city, traditions)
Last battle
Amazing actors
Music
Story

Cons:
Most fight scenes were too confusing
CGI

I truly and honestly believe that movies with all black cast should not be centered around money, sex, drugs, slavery and gang violence. That was the vibe I was getting in the beginning, however as I sat back and let it all sink in I was astounded at the way we as a black race was portrayed. Just walking in to the AMC theaters in Tallahassee, Florida on fan night, I saw all black who had shopped at black owned stores for their Dashiki's and Ankhs this really put a smile on my face. It opened up so many conversations were movie goers, black movie goers were stating that if they had this much variety in the movies that they wouldn't resort to watching Madea Plays and 12 years a slave or even Snow in the Bluff. I hope the directors and writers are paying attention to their audience. With the movie itself I give it a 10 due to its creativeness of the villain and humor. There wasn't a moment in the film where I wasn't fully invested, my only problem with film is that there weren't that many African Americans from the states with feature roles and spot light.
To conclude, it is a must see for all and an eye opener of how prosperous the black community could be if we all work together. Wakanda Forever!… Expand

Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan), the villainBlack Panther is a breath of fresh air in massive Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). As good points: The comedy is present in the film, but it's not the principal aspect like it was in Thor: Ragnarok. Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan), the villain has a lot of presence and his motivations are very realistic. Also, Ulisses Klaw (Andy Serkis), Shuri (Letitia Wright) the Agent Ross (Martin Freeman) and General Okoye (Danai Gurira) have their own special moments. Despite some CGI issues that I saw, the special effects for Wakanda or the Shuri's toys are really immersive and enjoyable. The best point of the film, as a lover of Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore...is the soundtrak which sounded really good.
Negative points: Well, I'll start with T'chala (Chadwick Boseman). He was great as Black Panther, but sometimes I had the sensation that he was overacting.
Aswell, as I said before, some CGI moments were to low for what we are used to in the MCU. And for the last, sometimes the rythm of the film is a bit slow, not enought to get bored, but enought to realize it.… Expand

These are the kinds of things in this day and age people bring up and get all offended about. The story takes place in Africa, and it's main hero is black, what would you expect? I loved the movie, it was entertaining, the villain was done well, and the underlying political message wasn't shoved down our throats, it wasn't screaming for attention but it wasn't going unnoticed.

Jordan) who he will come up against as the movie progresses.Noteworthy are Production Designer Hannah Beachler’s lavish Wakanda set and Rachel Morrison’s sweeping cinematography of the fictional country’s landscape.Moreso Ruth E. Carter’s richly colourful costume design for the movie’s characters including T’Challa’s nicely embroidered Kaftan from northern Nigeria with cuffs made from Ghana’s Kente cloth and Ramonda (Angela Bassett), T’Challa’s Mother’s South African-themed outfits. The coronation ceremonies were unnecessary and off-putting.The African accents used in the movie are of two types; the very poor, used by Boseman, in portraying T’Challa, and Forest Whittaker, Sterling K. Brown and Daniel Kaluuya in their respective portrayals of the characters Zuri, N’Jobu and W’Kabi. Then there are the better sounding and convincing accents of Letitia Wright as Shuri, T’Challa’s tech geek sister, Lupita Nyong’o as Nakia, Danai Gurira as Okoye, Winston Duke as M’Baku, as well as John Kani and his son, Atandwa who play the older and younger T’Chaka, respectively. The standout performances are from Wright in her role as the excellent comedic foil to T’Challa and Gurira’s portrayal of the steely tough Okoye who commands the Palace Guard. All said, Black Panther is a job well done by Director Ryan Coogler, and a bold statement on black identity, history and ingenuity for which Marvel must be commended.… Expand

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

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Black panther is one of those movies that you are confused by the whole movie but by the end of it its much better. The plot was a bit dizzy, and mostly in one place, which is a main problem. For a movie to be entertaining at most, it must be in multiple settings across the globe or in a galaxy far, far away. However, the time the setting is changed, it is one of the best thrills in the movie. Another slight problem with the movie was the cliche. It seemed do ordinary that T'Challa lost, looked at inspiration, and got the throne back (by force, or course).You want to know what was one good thing about the movie? The woman. And no, im not saying that because i'm looking at them with lust (god no). It because they are so engaging in their roles, just that can make the movie worthwhile. Of course, there more good things about it. Another positive from the movie was the action. Despite the few action in the middle of the movie (plot development), Black Panther has thrilling action sequences, and not too plain, but not too chaotic and the same time. The comedy was light, the exact opposite of plain (to be honest, I let my guard down with the WHAT ARE THOOOOSE meme), and it works perfectly. Last but not least, Micheal B. Jordan and Chadwick Boseman nails their place perfectly. The villain is terrorizing, and it doesn't really have issues. Chadwick Boseman (Chad for short) nails his throne of the king, like he is one in real life. Last, but not least, the CGI. This one is kind of mixed. In the beginning and middle, the CGI is not too sen, and the whole movie looks realistic and dazzling. However, towards the end of the movie, it goes into full OVERDOSE. In the end, Disney manages to make a full movie (great by the way) with a single cliche, and succeeded terrifically. 7.0- Not Bad… Expand

The cast is outstanding, they all shine in one way or the other. Kudos to Ryan Cooglar, he directed"Black Panther" is an incredible film and in my opinion the crowned jewel of the MCU.

Kudos to Ryan Cooglar, he directed his ass off in this movie and he and Robert Cole wrote a fantastic script. Very powerful, beautiful and moving film. Definitely an easy 10/10 from me.… Expand

Marvel's Black Panther is in itself a cliche from the fact that it utilises every trick in the book of super hero movies. Nothing special going on...

Nothing special going on... A generic love story, one interesting and one boring villain, an apocalypse kind of story mixed with cringeworthy dialouge and bad CGI.

Now for the more controversial part; "The Black oppression myth" as I like to call it.

Hang on, I do know the history of slavery in the Americas, but it's not about that. Black Panther has a black superiority and victimhood complex. The characters of the movie joke around with words like "colonizer" and "white boy" (to make them look immature) frequently. They (the villains) aren't shy about talking of a global white genocide either.

Basically; this movie's plot is of a prince becoming king of a fantastical hidden african country with super strict border controls and tribal culture together with alien like technology...… Expand

Damn, this film was by far my favourite MCU outing yet. It really succeeded where in my opinion all other Marvel films have failed.

It really succeeded where in my opinion all other Marvel films have failed. As I haven’t been a huge fan of any of there other films, Marvel really made this one feel not like Marvel. This surprised me in the best sort of way as the real emotion and dilemmas the protaginist faced felt so human and like a real film, not just a blockbuster. The acting was quality mainly for Michael B Jordan for his role as Erik Killmonor but the entire cast was great. Special effects were pretty great too and once again the action scenes were pretty great. It never really goes beyond great though, but i really love what its done for black rights in society and the portrayal of Africa in modern films. Overall Black Panther is definitely worth a watch and i cant wait for the sequel.… Expand

Well here goes nothing, Black Panther is another chapter in the MCU and it is a great addition. This movie has great story telling, there is a lot of origin story that is easy for comic and non-comic fans to follow. All in all the movie was great, sometimes in these films they rely on comedy relief to save the film but this one perfectly blends serious moments with some comedy. The 3D version is not very exciting I would definitely recommend standard definition but if your adventurous by all means see it in 3D. Good Luck and Have fun on your adventure in Wakanda!… Expand

A decent movie fueled almost entirely by its cast.

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