Details

King T'Challa returns home to the reclusive, technologically advanced African nation of Wakanda to serve as his country's new leader. However, T'Challa soon finds that he is challenged for the throne by factions within his own country as well as without. Using powers reserved to Wakandan kings, T'Challa assumes the Black Panther mantle to join with ex-girlfriend Nakia, the queen-mother, his princess-kid sister, members of the Dora Milaje (the Wakandan 'special forces') and an American secret agent, to prevent Wakanda from being dragged into a world war.

Wordiezett So much average
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
mirandaln This movie is overrated. Its very boring. I fell asleep because of how boring it was. Dont waste your time on this trash movie
Isekube Oh boy is this the most average MCU movie. This movie is what I'd call a formulaic inoffensive MCU movie. It's just laughable how this movie became a litmus test to determine if a person is racist or not. And don't give me the bs that it's the first black superhero movie, just watch Blade and spare me with that load of baloney. At least Blade did something different than what other superhero movies were doing at the time *cough* Batman and robin *cough* crow *cough*. It might sound like I'm saying its a terrible movie because its not. But its also not a great movie and was certainly over-hyped. It's just passable. The acting was great, the world of Wakanda looked really cool and original, the music was a bit unique when you compare it to the other MCU movies' random orchestra noises. But that's not enough to save this movie suffering from a criminally generic plot.
jereme_roach Turned it off after 15 minutes. The dialogue and green screen action shots were atrocious. Seriously some...hell any practical effects would be cheaper for the filmmakers and have more visual impact. All of this would be for nothing though without a story. And that is what Black Panther lacks the most. It was just stupid.
grandmoffkark Black Panther is one of the worst films Marvel Entertainment have ever released. This was a film made around a cool character in Captain America 3: Civil War, and it was made for two reasons: A.) To pander to SJW-BLM types, B.) To explain the country of Wakanda for Infinity War. It met aim A.) very well...didn't meet B.) very well however. To expand on why it didn't; allow me to explain. Black Panther barely explores the nation of Wakanda, it briefly mentions how the became a technological powerhouse, yet doesn't explain why the properties of vibranium were so potent and how they discovered this. Character's like Tony Stark would have studied vibranium based off of Caps. shield. This is silly, and only proceeds to establish the priorities of the writers; that being to create characters that can pander to the audience. This was effectively the first 5 minutes of the film. Just to give you perspective on how utterly incompetent it is. Later on in the film we're told about how the Black Panther gets his power. It's is granted through a special plant...a plant that only one person is allowed to use...which is the most stupid thing I've ever heard. It's stupid for two main reasons: A.) Why would you not grant all of your soldiers the special flower-power? They would effectively become an unstoppable fighting force. Wakanda Warrior (Teechalla or something like that) is useless without it; illustrating how powerful it can make a mere weakling. B.) If the answer to A.) is along the lines of "Giving too many people the flower-power would decrease the significance of the Black Panther" you would be correct. It is clearly done for plot reasons, as without the flower power; Wakanda Warrior would be useless. However, my question would then be; Why, if Wakandan Scientists have shown an innate ability to manipulate resources that possess unique properties, have the Wakanda scientists been unable to either: Strengthen the potency of the Flower-power, thus giving the Black Panther even greater abilities over the foot soldiers, or make a weakened version; thus also maintaining the Black Panther's superiority. Either of those make far greater sense than simply restricting it to one member of society. This incompetence then also brings into question whether or not Wakandan people are actually intelligent, or if it was just done for plot reasons...do you see my point yet? Thus far the film has explained a version of Wakanda that does not exist in Infinity War, it is a nation of Plot Armour, Lazy writing, and unintelligent scientists (or writers). This trend continues to occur with the rest of the film, failing to explain how advancements in vibranium led to shield cloaks. The film is simply ridiculous, and the only thing it did successfully was pander to it's audience. Congratulations I guess. Don't watch it, don't support it in any way; else you are simply telling the writers to make more poorly written films like this in future instalments. What a waste of my time..
