I thought the fight scenes were fine. Especially the way Coogler was using tracking/long shots during some sequences. Besides, the hand to hand combat in The Raid films will forever be the standard for me so I'm not expecting or clamoring for these comic book movies to blow me away action scene wise. shyt was adequate

Good bye Coli(2014-2020)
Just came back from the 7:00 PM showing with my homeboys and :mjcry:

10/10 Top 3 if not BEST MCU film. Did not feel like an MCU film. Not even the jokes. Only compliant was CGI and that was not even a big issue for me. I don't know what the hell people were complaining about when it came to the action. The action in this film was on point and the hand to hand combats you can see the Creed influence from the homie Ryan Coogler(may god bless this man and every of his future projects). The action was GOOD and the final fight was good imo. But people gotta understand that this film is about the MESSAGE and not just fight scenes after fight scenes. Wait for infinity war...

Moving on... The beginning quickly grabs you in. I LOVE the music/soundtrack. I feared it would be only Hip Hop(not that this is a bad thing but this film is set in Africa) but it was mostly AFRICAN soundtrack that give it a regal Lion Kings feel. They used the trap beats at the RIGHT time whenever Killmonger swagging in(I'll save him for later). The comedy was always at the right time and not forced like many other MCU movies.

As for the characters. There was one I did not like. I was already hooked on Shuri and the types of words she used(do not even wanna spoil something as minor as this. WATCH FILM), Nakia and chemistry with T'Challa was on point. But oh boy... Danai Gurira character was more baddass here than in Walking Dead. I ENJOYED seeing her character every time she came up. Ryan did a good job with the characters but I feel Gurira's character was big enough to become an even BIGGER character in the MCU with how badass Ryan made her. You can tell she is limited in the Walking Dead. And they said this movie had little action?

And now for the part we been waiting for. Killmonger....:mjcry::banderas::wow::ohlawd::myman::damn::demonic::whoa::salute: All those smileys describe my reactions to the character. I SWEAR I WILL NEVER doubt Michael B Jordan EVER again. I will NEVER just go based off trailers(felt the trailers did not do the character good). Michael B Jordan destroyed this role. I don't care if I get called a nikka nerd(so big it) but his character made me tear because what he was fighting for was the REALEST "villain theme" I've ever seen in a superhero movie. Killmonger is an anti-hero. Someone who believes their cause is good but goes about in a wrong way like Lex. But even still some may not even consider him an anti-hero/villain and character above Lex. Moving along fukk Killmonger being the best MCU villain. I say this because Killmonger shouldn't even be compared to these MCU villians(Thanos included), he is in a league well above them. Whether you argue Magneto, Joker(Health) , or Killmonger is the best villain, I believe Killmonger is up there with those two. The end quote (will not spoil) from Killmonger also knocked me out. But I feel the ending resolved everything. T'Challa and KM had different views like MLK and Malcolm X. WATCH THE FILM. Again 10/10. Chadwick, Ryan, Jordan and Wright all have GOOD futures especially after this film. This film deserves every box office record and praising reviews it gets.

Also after the film was done I was chopping it up with this other group of blacks. We shared our thoughts. Overall good atmosphere in the theater. Many liked my Black Panther hoody. No hating cacs instead they enjoyed the film. Everyone did. I haven't been this way about a film since forever. WATCH THE FILM PEOPLE. Yes its financially owned by Disney but the creative art and direction is OWNED by blacks.

Note: made sure not to spoil anything.

I know thecoli can be "#hoh"...but man can we please give it up for the women in this film they were legit. Smart, strong, beautiful and they they held it down.

M'Baku still my dude though. :birdman:Y'all finish are y'all done. and no we ain't helping you :troll::umad:

and everybody on Killmonger but I walked out of there feeling for T'Challa. As soon as he becomes king his own blood is on his head, and he had to make a choice. I hear y'all, Killmonger brought the real but it takes more than that to lead. He would have ruined Wakanda on some WW2 Germany shyt then he would of had the world on their head all because of revenge. He was too selfish, but I feel him.

Wakanda, Cant Stop Wont Stop!

Its true though :manny:

Just like Django :sas2:

what's with people and django?...to me, i treat that shyt like a straight comedy, nothing more/less...i die laughing at that movie...the fukked up parts in it are fukked up, and that's all on qt, and him showing that he enjoys showing black people get fukked up a lil too much...hence the reason i only watch bits and pieces of it, and treat it like a comedy...the same goes for 'the hateful eight;...although i watch more of the latter than the former...

This shyt is a 10/10 easily. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it and create coherent sentences. The cast, the fukking script, the characters, the villain who is actually a full-blooded character with understandable motivation and philosophy, how strong the women were and how I'd love to see a movie about either of the three leading women, especially Shuri. It all just fukking works, even when the third act becomes a bit of a CG fest and just people throwing punches, they all land because the characters and their story are so dope and work together so fukking well.

And ultimately, it comes down to a philosophical difference and that is the gist of it. What is the best way to serve the people and what's the best way to represent yourself. Loved this shyt and can't wait to see it again or at least have more insightful shyt to say about it

I think some people want to see a bunch of back and forth mindless action where you can't see what's going on with a bunch of jumpcuts and shaky cam. The action in here was meaningful and though there wasn't a TON of it, it served it's purpose. The only thing I wish was different was the last fight. Because the other one-on-one fights were so good, I was hoping it was similar to those. It was kinda forgettable in comparison.

And when
T'Challa threw that fukking spear at the plane :wow:

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
The ride into Wakanda was just :francis: the idea of homogeneous black society isolated from white people is dream worthy and has me wishing African Americans could funnel our money towards building up Ghana, Haiti, Liberia etc into a world power and being granted the right of abode (Ghana). That first glimpse of Wakanda reminded me of watching Coming to America for the first time as a kid and wishing Zamunda was a real place so that me and my family could go live there :to:
