Michael B Jordan is a mediocre actor

[dora_da_destroyer]

Since we providing receipts

Movie was good, the the levity of the plot line made it a better movie than the typical marvel movies, which I don't really care for outside of avengers. MBJ's acting was a weak spot amongst his cast mates tho, breh just was flat in the delivery of his lines. that body was on point tho


Edit: y'all who know this comic, is BP sharing tech with the world the epic backfire I'm expecting it to be?

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

he really hasnt progressed as an actor. he's just super likable. he's not any better now than he was as Wallace...if anything he was better then because he wasnt so sought after.

Ow boy the coli woulda called u a c00n months ago if u said this

 

[Spliff]

Not gonna continue to dump on him. There's a new thread on this every other week it seems.

It's just funny how people are comfortable discussing his acting now compared to opening weekend.

Why didn't yall have the heart to say this 7 months ago?

Do your googles.

He's Will Smith/Keanu Reeves status. A believable movie star but he aint Phillip Seymour Hoffman or anything

Naw he don't have that level of Charisma or Charm. Especially a dude like Will or even Mark Wahlberg, who are limited actors.

:meloohhh:

 

[tjax03]

The problem is his cadence when he talks.

Its amatuer status.

“Naw im just feelin it”

Or

Is this your king?


Its no emotion in it. Its like he just repeating lines

I literally just watched it again on Netflix a couple minutes ago and he's certainly not seeing Boseman, but I think a function of that is what he's given to work with with. All he's asked to do is be an angry black man the entire movie. Boseman is a times comedic, stoic, angry, sad, etc. The flashback with his dad is the only time Killmonger is anything but angry and that lasts a little over a minute and he shares screentime with his younger self. I think a lot of people got enamored with Killmonger's plan/motivation and overlooked how he could have been much more fleshed out and better written.

I knew that watching hardball. His acting hasn’t improved much since. Not a horrible actor though he can be utilized correctly and make a movie like creed.

 

[Dat916nigga]

That "I take the both of you Uncle James" was just HORRIBLE
somebody else shoulda played Killmonger flat the fukk out

That dramatically forced “Weeks?? I don’t need weeks” line was my favorite

You can tell the writers wanted him to be some typical black American gangsta type. But it just didn’t make sense considering the character is this cerebral, cold smart hit man. But he just comes off as a bratty street rat from NY. Combined that with his lackluster skills and it justs doesn’t work. The reveal scene and the scene after he becomes king/order the heart shaped herb burned are just so bad

At moments in black panther he would peak to an A for me but he would level out to a B level as for as acting in that movie imo overall.

I agree/disagree

The actor was meant to be just angry with slight hints of subtlety. However, I didn't need everything explained to me about that character. Coogler always tells a story with less words if he can.

I will say that in the longer cut of the movie he's probably fleshed out more, but

One scene I wish was added was a scene between Killmonger and Nakia. They both shared the same goals just different methods. His character having a conversation with her could have developed it a bit more. There's a real deleted scene with W'Kabi and Okoye that fleshes W'Kabi out with just 2 minutes of screen time.

But you know Marvel didn't want the black film being the same movie length as Infinity War so whatever.
