reminded me of an old 70s Blaxploitation movie or a Kung Fu film where you might see one or two token white guys show up to help 'sell it' to white audience. [Reply]
I thought it was a really good movie. Kudos to the actors as others have praised. Well deserved. But, one of the top MCU movies? Sorry but not in my universe. [Reply]

This is what worried me. I thought "this movie is going to surprise a lot of people. It will be better than people think."
Then came the hype.
The hype around this made me think of TLJ - critics all knelt down to praise it and didn't seem able to find any negatives.
This I find odd because much of the CGI of the Panther looked very early Spiderman-ish. Not up to the level of a Marvel film at this point. That said the cast is solid and from what I hear this sets up Panther to be a big player (similar to his role pre-Secret Wars II.)
I know I'll end up seeing it at the theater but I'm hoping the insane hype doesn't ruin a really solid flick... [Reply]
Amazing film! I thought the little sister stole the show actually. Love her from 'Black Mirror' and 'Humans'. Fight scenes on the waterfall and at the casino were epic in terms of the camera work. [Reply]

I thought the casino fights were shit really. Hard to tell what was even going on. I did like the waterfall fight scenes but they were short lived. I like the movie but not so much I was in awe or anything. I would definitely give it a solid 7 or 8 out of 10.
Spoiler!
One of the other things I didn't like, when Killmonger(sp?) breaks Klaue out of prison, The Black Panther takes one shot and doesn't continue the chase although they went to all this trouble just to capture him.

uhhhh
Spoiler!
he cant be captured by Klaue. He's a plot device to create division between the tribes. Now they could have easily wrote in a more legitimate reason for his get away

What do you mean he can't be captured by Klaue? I understand the value of why he got away, they just made it to easy. Panther took one blast from some gun that Warmonger had that knocks him down. He proceeds to get back up but never makes chase. Uhh... oh well, we just flew half way around the world and tore up a casino and endangered a bunch of peoples lives only to lay down the moment someone blast me with some sort of pulse cannon even though I can get right back up after being hit by it.
Anyone look at Rotten Tomatoes score recently? It says it has a 77% audience score right now. If you look under the audience reviews they have the "There are no featured audience reviews yet. Click the link below to see what others say about Black Panther!". I have never seen anything like that for a movie of this nature. If you click the link it is taking you to some reviews but then you also see a lot of five stars stating things like "man, can't wait to see this!" and "The trailer looks amazing!". It looks like it is counting people who are just saying they want to see it. [Reply]

There are actually groups out there intentionally giving it 1 star ratings because they are racists. This is a known phenomenon based on social media.
Of course there are also I'm sure a lot of people rating it higher because it stars black people. Social justice and all.
Not sure if these groups cancel each other out or not. At the end of the day, it seems to be regarded as a good movie by most people, and I'm not sure why anyone would expect much more than that from a superhero/comic book movie.
I have my IMAX tix for Friday, and can't wait to see it. [Reply]

yes, it’s becoming a problem. I can show anyone here how to build a bot in an afternoon. Program it to make thousands of posts every day under hundreds of different names and you don’t have to do a thing. Ever again.
If you motivated for political/social/racial reasons, those numbers go up. [Reply]

That's sad, honestly and if you've followed me on here - I mesh very well with the black man - It's sad in this day and age. [Reply]
