Just saw it


I was skeptical about the PC, SJW stuff before going in. People were projecting their own shit onto it and hyping it up as if it was the second coming of Black Jesus.

Having seen all the reviews, mentioning Trump, Malcom X, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela, I can safely say that its all over-blown.

The movie was awesome. It was a great Marvel movie. It was a bit different then the others but still has the same tropes. Marvel fans will love it, like they do the other movies.
Having seen all the hype, its kinda stupid. The movie is great, but its nowhere near the hyped up movie people make it out to be. I understand that it might be important for black people, but lets face it, the majority of the Western World still is white. So maybe white people just don't care about the relevance of a all black cast superhero movie.

Anyway, I'm white, I loved it. It did hit a few political themes, but they weren't forced or forced down your throat. A few anti-white jokes, but its fine. I can deal with that. I wish people weren't so quick to jump on the hate bandwagon. Its a cool movie.
I'm glad black people are enjoying it so much, but I wish the news and media would just focus on the story at hand. Let black people enjoy it, sure. But don't project your own SJW crap onto it.
I'd rate it a 7,5/10. maybe 8/10. Its great. The story could have been better but the villains more than make up for it. Andy Serkis was freaking amazing. Michael B Jordan did a good job, but I liked Andy just a tad more. More crazy and villainy.

Just go see it, its fine.

I agree, way more political crap surrounding the movie than is actually in the movie. Great cast, enjoyable action, a lot of fun. Just enjoy the movie

I'm trying to go for an entertaining, informative youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see and if you have any thoughts or criticisms, i'd love to hear them. Thanks in advance. Review right here- https://youtu.be/FwPQPeEAhjg

i've watched the movie and I really don't see what the fuss was about... it was an ok movie...

it seems a masterful PR move by the studios and filmmakers... The media frenzy and such... And the easily triggered social media hordes (fanatically pro and against)...

The movie itself is quite tame and it really is just another marvel movie, but has the swaggar and coolness of black people.... Yeah, Michael B. Jordan was good, as was Boseman... The rest are all bit parts, but we do get to see Lupita Nyong'o's beautiful face instead of hiding it behind CGI cartoons...

Tempest in a teapot

I wholeheartedly agree on the beautiful face of Lupita Nyongo'o.

I liked the movie, its not in my top 5 MCU movies, but I still thought it was great. The fuss is well overblown. This is NOT the second coming of a Black Jesus. Its not ground breaking. Its a cool movie but thats it.

totally agree. Remove the hoo-ha and we have just an okay movie, if even that.
