The "Black panther wasn't that good" take is the new movie hipster line that has to be discussed

Booty cgi and the white savior cia pilot shooting down supplies that would benefit the diaspora world wide rubbed me the wrong way
B+ cuz of the cgi end fight and cuz Killmonger was right

You mean weapons?

You mean weapons?

Does it matter cac?

 

[semicko82]

I gave it a B+. Mainly because his final fight with Killmonger "left a lot of room for opportunity" as they say at my job.

Otherwise, i don't remember too many movies where a good portion of the audience left saying the villain was actually right about his motivations and the hero was looking kind of funny in the light.

This is a good idea for a thread

There was one bad fighting scene and it was also the bad CGI scene. And the action scene in the casino was dope. Not sure why that hasn't been brought up as a rebuttal...

breh u been gone a while.. i said even bacc then the casino scene was dope as hell... not sure why people forgetting that

The hype has died down from it. If you're a comic book fan, that was a very neutered T'Challa. Whether or not you like the film, that's something that everyone can agree with. Even if you compare it to his portrayal in Civil War, it's still steps down. They also sidelined him for every other character. Assemble flicks are about giving everyone equal shine. However, I did love Ramonda & Okoye. Chadwick was okay, but waaaaay more thoro in Civil War.

It's good, but not great. for the story, I hate the angle they went with. Wakanda will never give AF about the outside world. So them turning on TChalla to aid an outsider to start a war/revolution on foreign soil would not happen. This is actually some of the gripes Milestone crew had with BP in the beginning.

we're grouping the OG Ironman with Age of Ultron?

I like AoU I’ll watch way before endgame

The only two critiques I have about/surrounding that movie are the same as they were when it dropped:

- black folk dressing up and making “wakanda” a real world thing is/was corny

- MBJ’s acting is pretty damn bad and weighed down the killmonger character

other than that, it was a marvel flick - entertaining

 

[The War Report]

It wasn’t that good. I love the aesthetics and what it meant culturally but the movie itself was iight. I also didn’t like that T’challa wasn’t depicted as the genius that he is and one of the smartest humans in Marvel Earth. For me his intellect is his most defining quality.

It's corny, but considering all the negative and dire shyt that we are hit with on a daily basis, if Black people want to celebrate and get happiness from "Wakanda" than so be it. White people were doing this with Hogwarts lol.

Lol, I find all of it corny, but I know cosplay type shyt is huge so who am I to rain on these people’s parade

nothing was wrong with bp, it served its purpose and was a good intro/solo film. cgi and some of the fighting were some issues

 

[Jerz-2]

personally, i think because bp was hyped up as though it were some sort of movement. i get the excitement behind a major black superhero on the big screen, but there was so much bandwagoning happening behind it that felt artificial as fukk, and when things like that happen, theres bound to be pushback of sorts in the opposite direction.

This is EXACTLY what it is.

 

[Jerz-2]

....the hype around this flick struck a subconscious nerve with the group (of black folks) who were so starved to see a "superhero movie about us" that they refuse to be critical of it.

This also has an element of truth to it.

 

[Silver Surfer]

At this point its certain Russo bros would have done a better job
