I really enjoyed it. Only complaint was early demise of Klawe as Serkis stole every scene in a Alfie from Peaky Blinders way. That being said, by ridding the white antagonist quickly, they stayed away from the low hanging racial fruit. Anyone complaining about SJW and racist shit in this movie is just looking for an axe to grind. The movie explicitly moves away from that and critiques the shit out of the Black power movement.

I agree 100%. I think people are complaining that the HYPE for the movie is overblown by liberal critics who are more willing to say nice things because of the race aspect. I could see how that may be true (I can't read minds so I won't offer a definitive opinion on the matter) but that has nothing to do with the quality of the movie itself. It's yet another solid outing by Marvel. At no point did I feel the movie was pushing any sort of agenda.

Maybe not overhyped?

The king of Wakanda roared into theaters.

“Black Panther” has*grossed an estimated $192 million*at movie box offices, including Thursday night early showings, surpassing the opening weekend numbers of all other Marvel films except for the first “Avengers.”

The figure also gives “Black Panther” the fifth highest opening weekend gross of all time.
The film’s total take over the President’s Day weekend is expected to be around $218 million, eclipsing the films $200 million budget.”

As*3-day weekend totals go*for Marvel films, “The Avengers” made $207.44 million in 2012, “Avengers: Ages of Ultron” followed that with $191.27 million in 2015, and “Captain America: Civil War” grossed $179.14 million in 2016.

“Black Panther” is a big-budget superhero film helmed by an African American director ― Ryan Coogler, who also co-wrote the script. It also features a nearly all black cast, including Lupita Nyong’o,*Michael B. Jordan, Angela Bassett, Daniel Kaluuya and Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa, aka Black Panther.
Historically, this isn’t something we’re used to seeing out of Hollywood. But you can’t argue with these numbers. Or the glowing reviews from critics.*

Again, I don't think people are saying it's anything other than a good if not great Marvel film. I think people are saying that the critical response (aka hype) is overblown due to racial factors. I would be interested to see the reviews from the critics who have been notorious for bagging on Marvel films. If those same critics are giving glowing reviews for Black Panther then I tend to want to call shenanigans.

Again, this part of the discussion is about critical hype not at all about the movie itself.

Civil War though not dark in visuals like Synders stuff is a pretty dark story. The villain won after all.

A movie with a strong first weekend at the box office can still be overhyped...just proves the hype worked. This was made out to be by many critics as not only the greatest Marvel movie but one the best superhero movies ever. Its not even close in my opinion.
