They finally did it. After seventeen movies with no diversity in the leads Marvel finally gave us a superhero who isn't witty. Down with witty!

A whole lot of cool and refreshing elements trying to distract from the fact we're watching a very basic, predictable story. T'Challa kinda gets sidelined to focus on more interesting/lively characters, but I'll be damned if I didn't enjoy the hell out of Jordan, Gurira and Serkis. More interesting for its place in our current socio-political cinematic landscape than anything else. That goofy Phantom Menace-like final battle won't be what we remember about this, at least.

I was excited when I heard Ryan Coogler was directing this. He did not disappoint. Like his previous movies, this is sharply directed and shot. This one also boasts really good effects, costuming, and make-up. The culture of Wakanda was very interesting. I loved what they did with T'Challas character and Killmonger as well. He was a villain who was sinister and really well fleshed out. Overall, really good directing, writing, and acting. I can't ask for much more. Definitely worth watching.

This looks great, and it pops with imagination, science, kinetic action, drama and humour. The casting/acting is spot on, and the film has a whole load of character and an identity that both feels fresh and fits neatly in the Marvel universe. A few CGI missteps don't really harm it. Lots to enjoy here.

A welcome expansion to an already humongous universe, but "Black Panther" is too serious for Marvel, it's too serious for itself. And the titular character is basically a black Superman or Jesus, someone with a burden of responsibility and little humanity or flaws. It's this one big point that makes this movie just not quite as enjoyable as many other MCU movies. On the other hand the exploration of Wakanda, and vibranium are pretty satisfying. Flat character, decent movie.

Suffered quite a bit from a heavy Marvel fatigue for myself. I liked it when Andy Serkis' arm opened up into a laser thing. This feels like the safest comment I'm willing to make. Better in a lot ways than I expected and disappointingly worse in others. It was, in fact, a movie.

An accomplished movie that's improved by the strong focus on African culture as well as the majority black cast. Production design is exceptional throughout, especially the traditional African garment designs of the Wakandans. The main flaw is that some action sequences aren't that great, particularly the ending which is just two CGI Black Panther suits fighting. Out of a terrific cast Michael B. Jordan is the standout as antagonist Killmonger while Andy Serkis as Klaue is regularly entertaining

I may, unabashedly, call this a masterpiece. This gave me every inch of what I wanted, short of Killmonger beheading Ulysses right in front of W'Kabi. Once the movie got going, I wanted as much of the delightfully-insane Andy Serkis performance as I could get (so I was left wanting more there), but I couldn't have been more invested in what I watched. This linear story is as isolated as Wakanda itself, clearly leaving some fans feeling detached from the bigger picture. Different. Refreshing.

A black superhero in a hidden super culture was interesting and had the flavor of a bond movie. The characters were lacking and the plot was sometimes tedious. A few nice graphics but CGI was generally overused, leaving much of the action less than satisfying. The messy plot meandered a bit too much. Overall it was fun to watch and it was nice to see a black superhero, but problems with the writing, the divided culture and poor action brought it down several notches.

The story follows the familiar beats of the tried-and-true Marvel formula, but the techno-Africa environment is refreshingly different, and all the performances are strong and engaging. Solid, but definitely not the game-changer the overly-enthusiastic pundits make it out to be.

Best reviewed Marvel movie ever? Ridiculous. JUst an ordinary movie of superhero genre that does not add anything new to the genre. Predictable story, uninteresting and low developed characters with no depth of each own. All in all, just another Marvel movie that plays on the same card as all before them. Except GOTG and Logan, those 2 stand out.

Film's motto: "Hey black folks, you can be free and affluent as we the white westerners, but only so long as you rely on your reason, develop technology and stay peaceful demonstrating your worthiness of civilization. If you demand retribution and payback (Erik Killmonger, what a cliche bad-man's name), we will crush you with the help of our CIA agent, as we did in Bolivia, Nicaragua and elsewhere". A representation of inequality doesn't suffice to cover the inequality of representation.

Exceeds even the absurd amount of hype. The world-building, along with the costume and production design, is excellent - Wakanda feels so vibrant and alive - while the characters are all well-drawn and perfectly-cast. Coogler's inexperience with blockbusters occasionally shows, but for the most part it's gorgeous. And the script is incredibly thoughtful and intelligent with a depth no other Marvel movie has even touched, shown mostly via Killmonger, easily the best MCU villain yet. A triumph.

Surprisingly boring for a superhero movie. Tech is completely fanciful to the point where anything is possible and a Mary Sue (Shuri) controls it all. Characters are weak, dialogue is bland, and the story just does what it likes. CGI is quite weightless and the last big fight is horrible.

For me the film's weakness may be T'Challa himself, who kind of ends up getting lost in his own movie, Boseman's performance overshadowed by more interesting others in virtually every scene. Michael B. Jordan as Killmonger clearly steals the show. The movie has a ton of fun genre-hopping though, Star Wars-influenced in much of its sets and design and technology, turning into James Bond for a while in the middle, and then becoming African Game of Thrones/Lord of the Rings toward the end.

The people, sets, and costumes of the fascinating Wakanda are a fantastic breath of fresh air, and the supporting characters especially (Nakia, Okoye, Shuri) all beg for further fleshing out. As an action film it worked better with Serkis' simpler villain (see the awesome South Korea sequence) than Jordan's more complex one, as the good vs. evil nuances he introduced deserved a slower drama instead of a sudden civil war and typical superhero climax (though the epilogue was of course touching).

Comparable to Guardians of the Galaxy for how it successfully carves out its own franchise territory within the Marvel universe. It shows us new wonderful places and characters that I want to return to in future sequels. I feared another Wonder Woman - an over hyped rehash of an origins story - but this felt fresh & fun, and had some of the moral complexity of a good X-Men movie. I'm genuinely amazed that this lived up to, and even exceeds, the heavy expectations on it. Top grade entertainment.

I really had my hopes up for this movie, but I was utterly disappointed. The story was nothing like I expected, too many characters and very weird combinations of hi-tech and undeveloped tribal behavior. The character of T'Challa's sister Shuri was very annoying and it felt like actress Leticia Wright was exaggerating all the time.

Kudos to Ryan Coogler for delivering a truly impressive film about a superhero who, like Wonder Woman, isn't allowed the kind of relatable imperfections that make for a great character but is written to serve as a symbol for an entire demographic & the embodiment of its virtues. It does this with an A-list cast who could make multiplication tables compelling, a great villain whose motivations are human in scale, fantastic supporting characters & a script that's thrilling, resonant & even moving.

Black Panther isn't good because of the context it was released into, but the timeliness certainly doesn't hurt. The Shakespearean story, top-notch performances, and carefully curated direction from Ryan Coogler propel the film to great heights that are furthered by the questions it unexpectedly poses regarding racial conflict, isolationism, and even reparations for slavery. A definite must-see and quite an original film for the MCU.

Far more underwhelming than I expected. After being one of the highlights of Civil War, Boseman's Black Panther character was far less charismatic this time around. Also why is the most technologically advanced nation in the world selecting it's ruler via primitive trials by combat? The climactic face off between BP and killmonger was incredibly bland as well. I loved the setting, culture and cast, but those alone couldn't combine to make this live up to the expectations I had for this movie.

Marvel movies are often closer to formulaic television episodes than actual cinema. But this film breaks that tradition. Yes, it features the normal Avengers story: a plotting hero faces a villain that's actually a weapon they created to beat an invisible enemy. But Coogler's usual tropes elevate it: like a strong son/mother relationship, a love of a homeland, flashbacks at a moment of despair, absent dads, and hit-or-miss sentimentality. Those latter points make this the coolest MCU flick yet.

Its many compelling elements and storylines were not given much room to breathe, which diminished their cohesive appeal, and much of the CGI was dodgy, but the badass women, the great cast, and the exciting colour and fresh imagery still lifts this film above much of its peers.

Holy Bast what a cat turd of a movie. It shows glimpses of what it COULD'VE been, but it is mostly a bad cocktail of equal parts Fast & Furious, Inspector Gadget and FX that belong on bad sci-fi made for TV like Stargate SG:1. It tries to build the tension but it never seems like there's anything real at stake. The obvious symbolism is laughable. Women good. Men bad. Black good. White bad. That having been said It IS better than Howard the Duck, so not the worst Marvel movie I've seen.

Black Panther seemed to understand, at every creative stage, just what the stakes were - and then they raised those stakes, and matched even these. For me the film represents precisely what makes film so special: here, underneath Hollywood vibranium, is a formative journey that provokes, empathizes, and ultimately inspires, forever creating a shared experience that bridges histories and cultures and circumstance. With the right aim, film is a unifier, and much more than the sum of its parts.

There are some thorny questions. For instance, does a hegemonic African-American culture, embodied in a villain self-consciously using American vernacular & played by Michael Jordan's son, represent a new form of imperialism vis-a-vis Africa? There's also some uncomfortable questions regarding exotic or fetishistic representation. But, mostly, per Marvel's modus operandi, there's just mechanically created fight scenes, no stakes, and laborious handwaving to suggest a larger universe.

Woah guys, chill out. This isn't great, it's OK. It has some cool ideas, elements and sequences for sure but way too much of it is heavy handed, poorly executed and not very well made - honestly the most fake looking Marvel movie yet. The villain gets more and more one dimensional as the film goes on, and the whole ordeal is hard to be completely on board with. That said, it is cool and fairly fun I guess.

Marvel really loves writing villains who are paradoxically driven by a desire to correct societal injustice while not valuing human life. It's a transparent way to have the hero (in this case a rich monarch who's never seen engaging with common people in any meaningful way) protect the awful status quo of the modern world because the only people trying to change it also LOVE murderin' and are really just motivated by selfish vendettas (ex: Vulture & Ivan Vanko). Marvel also loves attack drones.

More like "Black Pander" Marvel just stole a billion dollars from the African (American) audience, playing up the "all black cast" and "finally a superhero for black folks" angles to perfection. Come on now, take off your ebony colored glasses and take a big sniff. What you'll smell is a supreme con job. Not only is this not the best superhero movie, it's not even the best "black" superhero film (looks over at the "Blade" DVD sitting on the shelf) This film is as average as Iron Man 2. Mic drop!

I enjoyed a lot about Black Panther. It set the tone early for me with Too Short being used to introduce the movie. When I heard that, I knew I was going to like this movie. The story is well done. It talks about some real things without making people too uncomfortable which for a AAA movies is important. As someone who has been bored with most Marvel movies recently, Black Panther was a resuscitation for me and my enjoyment of the Marvel universe. The acting was the best part of the film.

Black Panther is another fantastic movie from director Ryan Coogler--one that sits near the top of the MCU, and one that feels like it only somewhat belongs, which is part of the point, I think. It does a wonderful job of building its world and its characters, its acting is fantastic, it's got interesting themes, most of the action is great, and it's got a more hefty, serious tone than most of these things.

Best MCU movie. And even better than any DCU movie (only contender for this position is Wonder Woman). Great cast, Great usage of side characters. Very clever idea to hide killmonger in Klaue's act for first half of the movie that cuz his entrance was epic and powerful. Visuals , Decors, World Setting, Cinematography was "A" level. There was some poorness about the plot of the antagonist. Never explained why T'Chaka have to kill his brother after deflect the bullet or why he left that child.

It fills out every inch of the limited scope of the superhero genre without expanding on it like Logan did. It's stuffed full of plot-lines and thematic chewiness, though never retains any much needed focus as it drifts between one to the other. All these flaws stem from the ambition the film has, to be a fully involved and economic superhero film that dishes out the entertainment and the (admittedly overhyped) cultural resonance. And, wow, those costumes!

Yeah, no, this didn't work for me, at all. BP starts out quite well, but degrades quite fast into a meandering mumbo jumbo of political idiocy. I was wondering, while watching this Marvel film (mind you), whether I should be entertained or if I should be subjected to even more 'black lives matter' propaganda. The film lays it on there, nice and thickly. To me it felt like an odd mix of James Bond and Coming to America, with poor pacing and a silly script, mind you. Meh.

Fairly standard Marvel stuff here; if you like the rest of their films, you'll probably like this. What makes it stand out a bit from the pack is the insistence on giving the characters real motivations based on real issues, and letting emotions play out instead of covering everything up with quips. Where it lacks is that it seems (especially in the middle) that Black Panther is a bit of an afterthought in his own movie. Still, you'll be entertained for two hours.

Somehow I managed to miss being swept up in the whole cultural/social phenomena around this film and finally just got around to watching this Best Picture nominated film. However, subsequently I let the hype around this MCU movie be built up enough for it to ultimately be a disappointment. Unfortunately it felt like Disney dumbed-down the dramatic Wakanda aspects to shove in surprisingly cheap looking average to mediocre superhero popcorn fare to make for an entertaining mixed-bag blockbuster.

Black Panther does follow a typical Marvel formula, and its kinda expected they all have a certain way to do them, they all hit the same beats, you see things happening a mile away, and overall you come out happy. However, Black Panther does follow this path, but Michael B. Jordan's villain is perhaps the best yet, the visuals are stunning, and I find myself more invested in Panther lore more than other characters as there still so little explored. I'm already awaiting a sequel.

I was very surprised by this movie. I don't really care for The Black Panther character, aside from his suit he's just another super strong hero, which there are dozens of. so, I'm glad that this movie was not combat heavy. It had a real story happening, one with flawed characters and great world building. Its a movie about redemption, privilege and heavy secrets. This movie changed my mind on the character and I'm happy to see him and Wakanda be part of the MCU.

Coogler can do better than Marvel, but Marvel made this movie possible at this production level - so... take what you can get? But the ability to make me mostly forget that I'm watching a piece of a whole franchise, even if for a brief moment, was refreshing.

The set design and especially the costumes were gorgeous. Not all of the visual effects were perfect, but not bad to the point of ruin. The characters and performances were good all around. Jordan's character might be one of the best villains from any of the Marvel movies. The actual story is not all that different to your typical Marvel movie, but works just fine. I wasn't affected emotionally very much, and a lot of the humour fell flat, but I liked the film on the whole.

Best MCU movie easily. The Characters all have arcs and are not just quip machines, that this franchise popularized. The script itself doesn't play it save and touches on important issues. The love of african culture through the sets and costumes is Oscar worthy. The acting is the best acting all around I've seen in a superhero movie. And the villian is fully fleshed out with a gripping motive. Honestly the only problem is the CGI, which felt unfinished in places.

Now that's what I call a strong finish. It's silly, cheesy, convenient and fun. Like a 80s movie. The visual effects and costumes aren't very immersvice and look like visual effects and costumes...I mean, everything in the movie is very thick and obvious and on-the-nose, but, like I said, really fun. Maybe even, because it's so out there. All the Africanness does it good. And Michael B. Jordan and Lupita Nyong'o are fun to watch. I may not agree, but I totally get the hype.

It’s a fascinating film for many reasons that are nothing to do with its quality & all to do with its existence. But it’s important just to simply look at BP as either a good or bad picture, & it’s clearly intrinsically a very fine film. Serkis & Jordan are the stand-out performers in what is a compelling addition to the MCU. It’s probably a little too straight-laced & Boseman is often outshone by his support cast & the richly created Wakanda. Other minor niggles aside, very good.

don't know why this movie got heralded as a revolutionary "black" powerpiece. the cast happens to be black, yes, but we got a really normal, mediocre marvel movie on our hands here where characters are living in a dead world and are driven by childish motivations, unavoidably ending in the boss fight that's boring as ever. some good acting. absolutely cringeworthy soundtrack (the orchestral trap song is a hard-hitting facepalm that left a bruise on my face. what were they thinking??)

Free of most elements of Marvel's vapid formula. To my mind, it's the first Marvel movie that: takes a serious tone without resorting to over-the-top melodrama; doesn't really waste a character; has meaningful social messages; has a worthy and morally rich villain. It also claims the most vivid, colorful costuming and distinctive locations the studio has ever offered by a wide margin. It's virtually everything a modern blockbuster should be, and easily the most substantial of the Marvel movies.

The first time around, I often found the pacing rather sluggish; the second time around, I realized that if anything, it's tight to a fault; director Ryan Coogler makes sure every scene and virtually every beat propels the story and themes along. At 135 minutes, it's not at all a short film, but it never dawdles for a moment. It's pretty damned gratifying to see that a film so massively popular and so widely acclaimed does unequivocally deserve it. Superbly written and acted.

appreciate the decision to not crew all the house regulars to give the film a (slightly) different visual style. The characters are complex, particularly villain Killmonger, combined with Jordan's spot on performance as a powerful, vengeful kid from the streets, this is one of the very best villains we've gotten out of these nearly 20 films. Not just fueled by desire for a superweapon, he's on an almost sympathetic mission to right wrongs for his people...just in a violent, destructive way

I think if I was Morgan Freeman, Laurence Fishburne, Denzil washington, Halle Berry or Viola Davis, I would be pretty gutted that this appalling tripe was even considered for the Oscars. After decades of brilliant performances by black artists, it is a travesty that this mess was in the right place at the right time to take advantage of the "lack of black actors" bandwagon. Forced humour, everyone talking like Nelson Mandela, horrible! At least we got a new phrase for God-Awful: "Leap the Rhino"

Wow. An impressively important film that will influence generations of filmmakers to come. This doesn't just allow young Black people to see their futures optimisticly , but any racialized minority as well; and it helps that the film is so well-made too, which, despite a few minor nitpicks, is almost perfect, narratively, techinally and artistically. #KillmongerWasRight though, let's just overthrow the absolute monarchy and kill the oppressors.

Even if you're not one for superhero films, this is just a straight up great film. Obviously, the social context and the timeliness of this film may have raised this to another level, but even without that, it is very hard to fault this film. Performances and the characters are all pretty great, and in particular, this film features the very best villain that the MCU has produced. You will not empathise more with a villain.

If you don't know what to expect by the 18th entry in the series I don't know what to tell you. It had its moments but was hampered by agressively bad CG and incoherent action. The train fight at the end is one of the worst looking things Marvel's put on screen.

Love to African culture, but also blends it well with more North American tendencies (like Killmonger). The costumes are great, especially the BP suit itself, which might be the best in the MCU. Set design, the world it builds is great. Good performances. Humour falls flat sometimes, finale is a little uninspired, not all action sequences work, made some of the cool trailer scenes a lot less cool. Reassessing, I need to give more credit to the good than I did originally even tho bad exists.

There is some irony in the fact that a film entitled BLACK PANTHER seems to be so antithetical in its ethos to the armed revolutionary struggle of the Black Panthers, but the main weaknesses are the mostly uninteresting action and fight scenes, and the rather dull characters (Letitia Wright supplies most of the charm). Despite these flaws, of course, the film stands as further testament to the unrivalled ability of Marvel Studios to extract mountain upon mountain of cash from willing audiences.

A disappointing but exquisite example of uneven, chaotic, shallow Disney formula, colliding with attempts to bring heart and purpose, but feeling like another unfortunate jumble in the superhero genre.

Coogler's entry into the MCU is with flair and with a vivid tapestry filled with sound and color. Black Panther looks fantastic and is anchored with a cast that has a powerful swagger to it. The importance of storytelling is shown in the opening scenes and continues throughout the film that gives it levity without leaning on corny humor as many marvel films fall to. The actual narrative is fine as is the action, with the finale succumbing to faceless-enemies-fighting-amoungst-CGI.

While it still follows a lot of the Marvel tropes that I'm slowly learning to find disappointing, it probably does it in the most creative and inspiring way since Guardians 1. It's great cast is its major highlight, but the soundtrack and director in Ryan Coogler need serious credit. They made a great and exciting film out of a post 2010 Marvel script (boring and predictable). That's a win in my book.

Disney's live action remake of The Lion King is soooo much better than I expected when I first heard about it. Okay, jokes aside, this was awesome. M'Buku is a national treasure of Wakanda and those war rhinos are the best thing since the war pigs in the Hobbit. Occasionally a bit on the heavyhanded side, but they managed to make it all feel very genuine.

Overall it's entertainment, as complete fantasy. In that context the social stuff is odd. It seems to me the opposite of black empowerment to say that an African country can offer something to the rest of the world, sure, when magical metal falls from the sky. And the smug PC-ness of the film distracts from an already-mediocre superhero story. An African superhero, though, is cool. Treatment of culture, accents and skin tone here is a challenge but they gave an effort.

Martin Freeman without an English accent is really distracting. Some of the computer generated action and green-screen scenes look really bad- the train fight and the waterfall especially. First 45 minutes are slow. I'm glad there wasn't a bunch of aliens or demons going to destroy the world with a giant beam of light into the sky. One scene revolves around stolen vibranium, but the protagonists bring cars built out of same which are destroyed and then left in pieces on the street?

You can see Coogler desperately trying to escape the confines of the Marvel formula. Not all prisons are made of stone though, and the Marvel formula still works even all these years later. A lot of the ideas at play are far more interesting than anything in a Marvel film up to this point, it's too bad they mostly peter-out by the end. Still, the cast is strong, especially Jordan, and it hums along at a nice clip. One of the better Marvel films all-in-all.

A heavy letter with a message that could change people's standing in certain topics and stands on its own. With an amazing design and colorful photography, excellent world building and immersive soundtrack, Black Panther is not afraid to embrace African culture to incorporate a foreign air to the film. Michael B. Jordan performance was a highlight and made you question yourself about the morals presented in the piece. While the action was lacking the attention to detail made for it.

BLACK PANTHER is a rip-roaring adventure with excellent pacing, a sharp script, and a boatload of compelling characters. All of its success emanates from the filmmakers' incredibly strong sense of drama, imbuing every individual with a unique essence, while also making sure they complement (or complicate) each other's purpose. The spectacle here is more at the human level: verbal fireworks supersede visual kineticism. But that's just another charming feature of this singular superhero flick.

The main problem with BP is that both sides are unappealing. T'challa is an privileged king, Warmonger a Black Lives Matter parody. We see too little of Wakanda too, it's one street and a bunch of nobles. BP is also too similar to other films, especially The Lion King. A less safe and predictable plot would have gone a long way. They could have cut some of the music, bad CGI and fight scenes to make room. It's also grating that Africa is used as a prop and only two of the actors were born there.

Black Panther is another enjoyable addition to the MCU. Whilst the formulae is recycled, the concept and themes are refreshingly original for a film of this kind. It has to be said that the set pieces both underwhelm and disappoint. But otherwise there is a lot to boast about. The overall direction and performances are strong throughout, compelling and likeable characters, a well realised villain, immaculate production design, vibrant world building, a stunning score and a thumping soundtrack.

A great balance of touching drama, enjoyable comedy, good action scenes and a really mesmerising sense of culture and world building. Where most MCU movies overcompensate on their injokes and comedic one-liners, Black Panther dedicates its time to crafting good characters, both heroic and villainous, and doesn't shy away from the hard truths about colonialism and oppression. Coogler was the best directorial decision since Whedon!

A standout from the other Marvel films for its excellent score, costume design, ensemble cast, and story that feels like it has more to say. The CGI is noticably bad for a lot of the film, and some of the action scenes, such as the last big battle, felt trite and rehashed. The world building was OK, though there is little that is actually seen of Wakanda outside of a few buildings and some rooms. Overall, there is some things that make it stand out and elevate it a little above the MCU forumla.

Perfectly decent but not much more, at least from a film-making standpoint. The story is nothing particularly riveting, there's nowhere near enough tension or pathos in crucial character moments and overall it feels like a completely by-the-book movie. Seeing an almost entirely black cast in a film like this is very refreshing (even if Andy Serkis steals the show) and there are several suspenseful scenes to be enjoyed, including the big-scale final fight, next to the neat production qualities.

Worst origin story. From start to end, it is non-engaging and boring. The characters can only capture your eye with their hairstyles / accessories / clothes, but otherwise are plain, without character depth. Unfortunately for the mostly black cast, the only characters that were fun were played by white actors. Andy Serkis made an excellent villain compared to the boy who has apparently killed a lot and is somewhat mad for things.

Killmonger is right to demand global revolution, but the movie cleverly disguises that fact by positioning Wakanda as an unmolested haven of Afro-futuristic paradise whose existence would be threatened by the outside world's knowledge of their resources. Still, it compensates for by being one of the few Marvel films with style and verve. It was genuinely shocking, in a good way, to see so much uncompromised blackness in a $200 million picture. The problem, then, is the $200 million.

One of the better Marvel movies. I'm not educated enough to talk about all the details in set design and costuming. What I can say is that Michael B. Jordan gives the best performance I've ever seen in a Marvel film.

Marvel has definitely struck gold once again or should I say Vibranium once again. This movie is pure cinematic glory in its finest. An isolated origin story that delivers thrills, culture and characterization. Who did not enjoy that delightfully cooky performance from Serkis and Chadwick Boseman is definitely a lead worth rallying behind. A true film that can be used to shift the focus on how we see cinematic landscapes form on the big screen. Kudos Ryan Coogler and crew for achieving that.

Black Panther as a cultural phenomenon nauseates me. As a superhero flick, it's boring trash where the fight scenes are cgi flopfests with boring choreo and the cast is either insufferable or boring. As a statement about black civilization, it's just moronic pan-African pandering that is so broad and one-note in its dishonest self-masturbatory idpol that I struggle to take it seriously. It's a film given far more value than it has any right to have, and that alone gives me reason to resent it.

I can't believe the praise this film had received. Fresh characters and stories are always welcome but this one doesn't add a single fresh thing to the genre. The story is predictable and the narrative is boring & uninteresting. Including highly praised villain, almost all of the characters are underdeveloped. Their motivations and choices are either vague or contradictory. Also, I'm wondering what they exactly spent 200 million budget for. CGI and action scene are the worst of MCU.

Black Panther was not the earth shattering event I was expecting after some of the reviews. However, it is very well made with likable characters and a pretty strong villain (something Marvel has been lacking in). I just felt for as big as the strides it took for black culture and prominence, it lost its way a bit with it's main character. T'Challa is often out shadowed by underdeveloped but unarguably cool side characters. Still, I can't fault it totally, it's still ranks highly in the genre.

I'm torn. At one hand, it is a culturally significant film, and had some interesting characters. But at the same time it has all the usual flaws of the genre: it tells a boring story in a predictable manner; the dialogue is flat, the editing makes it feel all over the place, and it's (mostly) safe. I'm glad it can inspire people but from a purely cinematic perspective it's a shallow experience.

A milestone in blockbuster diversity and representation, for sure, but worthwhile as a film too.

Black Panther is an interesting film. It has great performances, great action and a surprisingly well developed villain, possibly one of my favorite villains of the MCU. But it also tries to tackle so much in one film. We are introduced to a large number of characters and Wakanda, all while trying to keep the action and story of the film going. There are just so many characters that I wish I knew better. Also kinda odd to see very tribal esque characters and hovercrafts in the same scenes.

W4E1P1S2V1M1A2R2. I think I'm just getting super hero fatigue. In particular, the insistence that the villain in every movie is just an exact foil of the hero. Two guys with the same powers (and even the same costume here) fighting hand to hand gets old. But Michael B Jordan was excellent, and save for the redundancy it's the best overall film since Iron Man 1, I think.

However, the movie is far from being so good to be nominated for the Best Picture Oscar, and I am sure that the comitee voted for it because of the strong political message and not because of the quality of the movie.

A good change and direction for Marvel movies coupled with some excellent acting performances made for an overall very enjoyable feature. However ultimately it was another predictable superhero film with some weirdly dated visual effects.

An origins story, not overwhelmed by emphasis on the origin; great tie in to the universe, pushing on the Marvel storyline and having a well plotted internal story itself to support the (expected) brilliant fight sequences and special effects. A top rate addition to the MCU.

"Black Panther" succeeds where few superhero movies do in the areas of character layering, and complexity, and actual meaning deeper than "good vs evil." However, it can at times be obvious, unsubtle, and predictable, all unfortunate trademarks of the genre that it lives in.

C - Probably the best of the Marvel films, it feels separate from the larger MCU despite references to other events. Best villain so far too, but that's not very high praise. Huge lavish production, the African locations look great, real effort has gone into the look of the different tribes. Let down by a relatively predictable plot.

I went into this movie with no expectations and I was still disappointed. It had the makings of a complex story but then Killmonger became more and more one-dimensional as the movie progressed. Themes are introduced but are swiftly thrown away. The comedy was unspeakably bad.

Ryan Coogler and Chadwick Boseman have made a masterpiece with Black Panther. It is thrilling, shocking, accessible and at times truly hilarious. WHAT ARE THOSE!!?? Almost perfect reviews across the board. That is what those are.

Black Panther can't decide whether it's a political drama-thriller or a Disney fairytale, with each half undermining the other. It's further strained by cheesiness, corruption/fetishisation of African culture, and a desperate need to portray an advanced African utopia divorced from reality. The movie is best when it reminds of traditional adventures like Star Wars and Indiana Jones, but these moments are far apart. It's pretty good, and no better.

There's a lot to like. The thing that dragged it down was the "ooh, has he died bit?" at the end of the 2nd act. Spoilers, but no, of course he hasn't. Shame about that, I am still right in line for the sequel and so on.

A great cast, some brilliant visuals and the joy of finally, finally having a high budget event superhero event with a black protagonist are sadly brought down a notch by how formulaic much of it is and how I really can't get excited about all-CGI action scenes anymore.

Well. Black Panther might be the worst action movie I've ever seen. It's certainly the most boring (I fell asleep three times, which is a record for me). Is representation of heroic POC in cinema important? HELL YES, Is Disney going to milk this basic fact for all it's worth? HELL YES. Is it worth it just to piss off a whole bunch of racists? Well... HELL YES! Black Panther still fucking sucks, though.

A New Low for Marvel! I hate Marvel and virtually every film they've done with the exceptions of Dead Pool (10/10) and Iron Man (10/10)! Usually you excuse a Marvel film's lack of plot, drama, content, and originality because of the effects; but this disaster spent hours (that felt like years) establishing the Wakandan culture (which was unoriginal Africa but rich/advanced with force fields and leather shields!) It will be the most dumb@ss Marvel film until Black Panther II comes out!

The wonderfully colorful Wakanda setting sets itself apart from the rest of the MCU and the film offers something more than the usual superhero stuff, but once the bad guy (way too late) enters the arena the story unfortunately collapses around him.

So yes... the African culture on display in this movie in both the actors and the themes renders it a different kind of superhero. And the villain was one of the more interesting and sympathetic villains in superhero history. But I didn't think the movie really came together that well in terms of fun and action.

Wanna hang out with black Tom Hardy in his extremely tasteful Afro-Scandinavian design gorilla mountain fortress. Somewhat hilarious that the climax of this woke film is a white CIA guy shooting down brown people from a piloted drone, and that even the lead actor thinks Killmonger was right.

Most superhero movies nowadays are so overburdened by camp and silliness, it's hard not to know what exactly to expect when viewing the latest feature. Fortunately, Black Panther strips out the jokes for a moving, visceral action experience that is both memorable and thought-provoking. While the movie does become predictable and fall prey to storybook cliches in the last third, it's still one of the stronger comic book films in recent years.

This is solid in the Marvel Universe and a fitting peace before Avengers: Infinity War, but I still found it unable to fully exploit its potential. I enjoy Boseman as Black Panther. Even though I understand the Michael B. Jordan casting due to his history with Coogler, I find him too "American gangster" for this movie. It felt a bit off. *Good

An antagonist with compelling motivation and plan? In a superhero movie? Surprising but true! But as interesting as that was, the film felt a bit pointless. Treading water for Infinity Wars really. But I did enjoy it, especially the more "earthy" cgi interfaces (like the map near the beginning with the trucks)

Retroactive: 79=>81 Endgame buildup. Wakanda sets up a fantastic lore in the universe, but the acting is very vanilla - Boseman's performance is just so plain, there's no charisma or fun personality to root for, which is disappointing in a Marvel lead. Michael B. Jordan and Andy Serkis were the most fun to watch, though I think Jordan's character was written too ridiculously. This would have been a fantastic Phase 1 Marvel movie with its world-building, but it's much more tame than others.

Politically it's a fucking disaster made worse by the fact it's being hailed by the liberal media as a revolutionary film. The film itself looks good, especially the scenes of Wakanda and the cast is excellent. I can't believe they had a what are those joke in a 2018 movie.

Dull, sluggish entry in the MCU saga; defeated by fundamental production problems - Coogler seems lost at sea during the poorly edited and executed fight sequences, lacking even a working understanding of action rhythm - the convoluted, self-important screenplay provides little respite in between. Shoddy CGI is the biggest surprise (note Freeman seemingly trapped in a video game at the film's climax). It does offer a refreshing change of faces and locale, but it's all a bit of a snooze.

Marvel was in a slump a few years ago. Now the last four films they've released have been the best because they're not scared of the PG rating anymore and they're not global catastrophes anymore. Black Panther, like its recent Marvel flicks, have been insular and focused on characters. Conflicts are smaller and more potent. Villains are more than monsters, they have believable viewpoints. And Black Panther, above the others, cares about complex moral quandaries. Tropes still exist, but not many.

The cure is worse than the illness. While trying a celebratory movie for African American people, the director and writers develop a binary blindness and go into inexplicable ethical conundrums. I am also having a difficulty to grasp why the Wakandas -constantly play waka waka- either have to be cowed and fainthearted or radically militaristic.

Disney/Marvel hit the box office mother lode with this black blockbuster, and the middle was done exceptionally well, but there was little humor and much macho/femcho posturing throughout. The Lion King style music was a definite plus which it could have utilized more.

Instead of embodying characteristics of its genre and attempting to be "the ultimate" superhero outing (as many new entries to both DC and Marvel do), Coogler sidesteps the genre almost entirely and opts for imaginative world and character-building. Boseman's titular character may be the driest out of the ensemble, but that's only by comparison. The spectacle is the reason for seeing it the first time; the characters are the reason to revisit. Sits alongside the first GOTG as the best of Marvel

for all of the Shakespearean influence and small character moments, Marvel still couldn't resist cramming a large battle scene at the end. Martin Freeman's American accent is terrible. this was still pretty good, but I couldn't help but wonder how good it would have been were it not constrained by the Marvel Universe. then again, that applies to, like, every single one of these movies

Over all the was a decent superhero film. I liked the actors and I liked the fact that most of the cast were black. However that might actually be part of the problem, because all they seemed to do was take the same tired old story and character template and switch all the white characters and made them black and made the token character white. so while nearly all the characters are black with the token white guy it all just seems like the same old shit.

73 PSI, really? I don't think so. Mask it into whatever you want, but this is still a bland generic action flick with one exception, and that's the villain whose writing and performance (Jordan) overshadow the lead by far. CGI is pretty bad, too - at least characters physics and movement. Lame-ish all around.

Essentially a super-hero adaptation of the Lion King. Has its moments, but after seeing the movie about 5 months ago and writing this review now, I can't remember a single name of any of the characters. I loved the little sister's character because she was refreshingly cheery (yet not reduced to a dumb comic relief) in an otherwise very, VERY mopey cast. Also the villain was hot. That's pretty much what I can remember anymore. Not in my TOP-10 of MCU movies.

While it doesn't go too much against the formula of MCU movies just having the hero not cracking wise and the villain not being a throw away character that is lazily written and actually has an understandable motivation is a breath of fresh air. We'd be lucky if more MCU movies should dabble in the nuances that Black Panther does. Acting is very good but Letitia Wright deserves some extra accolades as she was very enjoyable but could easily be lost in the shuffle.
