Went last night.

I liked it (didn't LOVE it). I've skipped the last few MCU movies because they've just turned into cosplay quip - filled CGI - fests...can't tell where one ends and the next begins.

Had to check this one out. Not like the usual MCU stuff of late (well, maybe a little dodgy CGI towards the end there). This was a labor of love by everyone involved and it showed. Gorgeous production, great charismatic cast playing fully realized characters. A lot more "talk" with this one which helps elevate the action when it does happen, giving the fights and chases more impact.

Not so much heroes and villains - more like opposing views.

Well done. I can understand the hype even if I think it's a bit over the top. I'll see it again...that's more than I can say for other marvel movies...

Saw it last night as well but this thread has been so much about the reactions to this film or it's place in American society these days that it didn't even seem like this was the place to talk about the movie. I won't speak on what this film means to anyone or any of the propaganda surrounding it, but the film itself was a very good entry into the MCU.

I am thrilled to say that they treated this material seriously. It stands alone just fine on its own and it isn't bogged down by cameos or the Avengers in any way. They knew they had an opportunity here to make a impactful film that actually has a message, which isn't very common in the mcu. Moreover, while a tad preachy at times, the movie isn't very preachy in alienating ways. Black excellence isn't shoved down everyone's throats but you also understand why these people don't want anyone else in. It's more about who we are on the inside and T'Challa's struggle with his new role against tradition. It's more like Lion King in that sense and the theme talks to everyone.

It's a beautifully shot film. It's a magical looking world Coogler and team created. Stunning, and yes the cgi is a little blotchy at times but that really doesn't bother me.

We did get some quality villains this go around. I really loved Michael B Jordan Killmonger and Serkis' Klaw. While I do wish both had more time on the screen, I truly like both of them more in this film than they have been in the comics. Klaw is entertaining, fun and charismatic. Killmonger has such a strong presence on screen. You can tell he enjoyed being the villain.

Boseman delivers again. He's such a likeable addition to the franchise. He is regal himself in his portrayal. I also thought michonne from walking dead, T'Challa's sister Shuri, and M'baku were other standouts.

Now the film isn't perfect but it's top 3-4 MCU for sure imo. I love that it wasn't a jokefest. And when there is humor it's more low-key and grounded, like sibling bickering. Not at the expense of the character like Thor begging someone not to cut his hair or hitting himself with a ball off the glass. The material was taken seriously and this film feels important--but in a personal, soulful way, not in a infinity gauntlet kind of way. There were a couple things I wish they did a little different, I wish the final fight was a little more investing and clearer (it felt like it never felt as personal as it did the first time the cgaracters encountered each other), but I do wish this film was longer because I wasn't ready for it to end--which I haven't said about a movie in a long time.

Although I thoroughly enjoyed it and loved what was on screen and want more, I can acknowledge it wasn't a perfect film so I'll give it a 8.5/10

I don’t get the criticism for having other avengers in movies. Those who criticize, have you read a comic...ever? It’s a universe. There’s nothing wrong with having additional characters.

I saw this twice last night. Excellent film.
I don't always agree with SNIKT's opinions about things, but he's pretty dead on here.



My slight difference of opinion is Feige's responsibility for the film's success. Yes, this film is all Coogler, but Feige helps make the decisions to hire these wonderfully talented artists and keep the overall story of the MCU as cohesive and entertaining as possible. If he gets blamed for some of the missteps, he should be recognized as a huge part of the successes as well.

Michael Jackson was white too, you know.

 

[The Ween]

They weren't reacting like that for Finn in SW. I wonder why?

Never mentioned BP in CW either. Or Blade. Or Spawn. Or even Alexa Wood in Alien vs Predator who kicked butt.

And where is all the Madea love?

 

[crows]

I had such a huge crush on Sanaa Lathan when AVP came out
