Marvel's The Black Panther

[TaliBane]

Other than the standard Marvel CGI cheese shots, I really loved this film. Best Marvel film for me to date (not a huge Marvel fan though) - really showed that a superhero movie could be so much more than RDJ and Hemsworth mugging through a CGI slugfest while character-arcing. Really something to see a huge budget comic movie with 98% of the characters onscreen being black.

How do you "avoid politics" in discussing a boldly, overtly political movie - where politics is the A, B, and C-stories, both text and subtext?

Bane didn't want to help anyone. He wanted to blow up a city and himself because he was a crazy terrorist. He was in fact too extreme for The League of Shadows and Ras.

Thought he wanted to help the oppressed and poor and ****. In a twisted way like kilomonger. Meh idk

This was the first movie I've seen in theaters in a long while, and I am ENTHRALLED by this film. I thoroughly enjoyed its action, story, sub contexts, atmosphere/ambience/world, characters, and Shuri (I, um, thought she's cute ). Kilmonger was the $h!t and made some strong points, however I thought he isn't necessarily evil, just extreme. I feel as though he won at the end, given by some of his intentions. Overall, this movie is stellar and I liked how it was treated, as its own standing film.

Yeah, Killmonger was a great villain. Like Hitler 2.0. Instead of exterminating the Jews, he wanted to give all the black people of the world the weapons and the means to revolt, take over, and kill/enslave everyone else. For Wakanda to be the ruling nation of the world.

Very noble and aspiring. His people loved him.

Hmm, well this thread is off the front page - and leaving theaters I guess? but couldn't convince my bro he could skip this one re Infinity War so whatever, I finally saw BP in theater.

Not that I hadn't seen most of it. For me it was better than expected and at the same time shamefully overhyped, sloppy, and predictable. AND at the same time IMO some spectacular aesthetics and appealing characters especially for me M'baku. As far as the racist stuff was pretty mild and ended up a heroic love fest anyway.

It was alright. Kinda frustrating because you could see what might have been. Horrible CGI and tepid illogical fight scenes. I can see why comments about this movie are all over the map. To me the actors were really committed which was great.

Pretty full theater. My bro was a lot less energetic after the film, tho I think he liked it more than I did. I didn't dislike it but I wouldn't pay for a theater view again except now my MOM wants to see it, thanks to the hype.

Overall IMO 6/10 with occasional bursts of 7-9/10. Weirdly 2/3 of the way through I really started missing the Avengers & co., a lot. Weird. Guess I was getting tired and I'd seen lot of BP online. Or maybe just missing the skills of the other MCU directors - Ragnarok, GOTG2, Homecoming were all better re flow and pace; IMO Coogler desperately needs to learn the value of brief "bridge" scenes and handling fight and battle sequences better.

I can see why people REALLY like it, flaws aside. IMO not one of Marvel's best *shrug*.

Saw the movie Saturday night with my wife and another couple. We all had the same feeling afterward, meah! Overhyped, too much infighting, predictable, not memorable at all.
