So long as IW does its job that list should change in about five weeks.

If it doesn't, then the Russos will have flopped again.

 

[jye4ever]

Russo’s flopped where?

Their 2 movies are some of the best entries in the MCU if not the best lol

Oh Chakor what am I supposed to do with your inexperience

Oh yeah I forgot that $1.153 million BO = fantastic movie.

TWS is a great MCU film. CW is WWE Raw with superheroes.

Especially when Marvel breaks out the X-Men and FF movies

Yeah they stumbled hard on CW- good film but nowhere near as good as TWS...too much going everywhere plot-wise and not a good script

I was blown away and also lol when on my 2nd viewing this white lady in her 60’s walked in with another white lady in her late 70’s or maybe even 80’s who knows.

They were having trouble locating their Imax seats the theater was half dark and they were squinting to see their tickets and walking very slowly lol.

I was like they’re definately in the wrong theater then my wife quickly reminded me to stop with my snap prejudgement of people like I have a nasty habit of doing then she elbows me in the ribs and tells me to go help them lol

Ok fine fine.

I go to them and look at their tickets and yup they were there for BP lol.

Oh man sitting behind them were a mix of rambunctious white/black teens cursing up a storm that must’ve been fun for them to listen too lol

So I guess JAWS is right the movie is #1 five weeks in a row thanks to ***** old ladies getting their MCU fix.

Craziest **** i’ve ever seen in any theatrical experience.

Man I would’ve loved to have a sit down with them post viewing and discuss Thanos’s power level especially with the 80 year old one!

It wasn't until just about 2 years ago that my mother quit going to the movies with me. She love MCU, DC, SciFi, just no horror. If she were still capable, she probably would've went to see this.

Yea. It’s only natural for you to hear gushing from someone who worked on the movie and is getting paid millions. What do you expect him to say?

Movie was pure and utter ***. Don’t go see it. I wasted my time making this crap movie. Go see that new JL movie.

I expect any *savvy* boss to say something like how unique this film will be, and use the words like "excited" "thrilled" "blown away by the concept art" "remarkable talented cast* and the usual generic BS. Probably not a big deal as the other directors and actors probably know the score, but any boss who sez something like "the best employee I ever had" or "best work I've ever seen" isn't cool. Feige didn't need to throw around words like "best" which is debatable anyway.

Considering if other directors/actors hadn't had a hand in building the MCU, BP would have been put in the situation of being a stand-alone.
And as a stand alone, hard to say what the turnout would have been.

And it's worse if you put out any product and so your consumers are baffled and confused because someone reputable is hyping something and then you're like WTF.

Anyway - 2 different world views from IMDB

10/10 This movie was amazing! So many black issues dealt with in an important way from traditional vs. modern, black on black crime, difference between African American and Africans, division vs. unity in the black community, how to be a white ally, and much more. The jokes were funny, if you didn't laugh it's because you are most likely white and took the film too seriously. While the film was serious, it had comedic relief that was real and dealt with how whites have treated and still do treat blacks. If you were white, you're feelings would be hurt if you took it too serious. This film is about black excellence, hope, tradition, changes, Love, sadness, mistakes, slavery, fixing the past, and changing the future. While the world thinks Wakanda is a third world country, it's adtually the most advanced in the world! You hear that, an AFRICAN COUNTRY IS THE MOST ADVANCED IN THE WORLD. More advanced than the United States which is majority white. And Africa would have been the most powerful continent in the world if it wasn't for those meddling Spanish and European colonizers. Darn it. Hate all you want, but Black Panther has broken records as the top selling movie and top selling marvel movie. So hate while we still win.

vs.

1/10 I don't even know if this should be classified as a movie. After living overseas and experiencing the African culture for myself I can tell you that this is the most indirect representation of the African culture that could exist.

The movie is filled with ridiculous scenes created by African AMERICANS whom don't even have a clue what their culture is like. It's not about wearing the African traditional outfits equipped with your multi million dollar diamond studs and dancing on cliff sides like some sort of animals who live in caves.

The black panther is a great addition to the comic series of any sort. But this movie butchers the minds of so many.

I'm literally lost trying to explain myself as to how STUPID this movie is. The ratings are obviously not real as if this movie got an 8/10. I don't think so !

Me, I just wanted some sort of gritty lead-in to IW but Black Panther movie can be skipped re IW *shrug*.

 

[Sassafras]

Thats another thing, how many people said Black Panther was so much better in Civil war? a lot.
a lot of people were disappointed that he wasn't as cool. What happened? what do you think was the reason for that

IMO because BP had to behave like a noble, thoughtful king in contrast to a villain. He also had gone through an epiphany of sorts with Zemo e.g. in theory he would have learned not to rush to judgement.

Unfortunately that can come off as boring. But it does leave the door open for T'challa to have a fall from grace or lose it etc. in later movies. Cap was often considered the most boring Avenger until the Russos and TWS. But Cap is SUPPOSED to be kind of vanilla good guy.

Also, still think Coogler just wasn't that comfortable with comic book movie development.

While I difer from TWS (Fury's fake death makes it fall short in becoming truly great) I have never seen a better description for CW, I fell asleep halfway in this bloodless "war", can't even remember what was it about.

 

[jye4ever]

I’ll easily fall asleep on TDK now lol

Tou’re very fortunate my parents would say “Turn that **** off!” lol

taste is something not all of us have....

If I had to choose between TDK and CW well......

Don’t let the door hit your *** on your way out Nolan.

 

[Chakor]

Truth be told I'd take all three of Nolan's films over CW.

 

[jye4ever]

We’re talking about superheroes here right?

I prefer a colorful movie where the superheroes are jumping right off the page in super thrilling set pieces vs a slow and moody crime drama with a few poorly choreographed punches here and there.

Had Ledger not delivered the goods we wouldn’t even be talking about TDK right now.

 

[Ce Ilhuicamina]

How are they thrilling when the Avengers never lose at anything? Not even when they fight each other!

I thought part of being a hero was to make sacrifices and endure pain for the greater good, TDK has that in abundance, CW not so much.

 

[Chakor]

While I agree with this statement since I find BB a stronger film...

...I'll take the dark and moody atmosphere of TDK and even TDKR over CW which has awful pacing much like BvS. Just as we're about to walk out of the theatre something finally happens, but it's too much and we leave thinking it's a bad film.

Granted I'll take A1 over TDKR, AoU and CW are inferior films to all three of Nolan's Batman works IMO.

In terms of MCU vs. Nolan, for me anyway:

A1/BB
Thor 1/TDK
First Avenger
Iron Man
Winter Soldier
Black Panther
GotG1/TDKR
