Finally got around to watching it on DVD... not sure what the big deal with this movie was. If you had eliminated the black angle it was quite honestly a weak by the book superhero movie. I somehow think that over time when people see it a second time they will quickly realize it wasn't a great movie they claimed it was when they first saw it.
shareIt's the first movie to feature black people in it. That's what makes it so historically significant.
sharedvd comes out next week 5/8. you already have it?
Probably a "Bootlegged" or "Pirated" copy of inferior visual quality. Not that it would change the story elements or the immersive experience.
sharePirates released it last night. Higher bitrate versions are better than paid streaming services, almost as good as disc.
shareI think it's because Black Panther is a surprisingly popular comic book character, and it was a treat for him to get his own movie. Until Civil War, it wasn't even close to being expected.
Also, Black Panther is coming hot off Civil War, which was a big hit.
Let's also not forget this movie was one of the rare "new" Marvel movies, instead of a sequel. I think the last new one was when the first Guardians of the Galaxy came out, right?
Oh wait, no... Ant-Man... which is THE BEST! Haven't seen Infinity War yet though.
Critics and fans put more emphasis on its "cultural" significance than the actual quality of the movie. I'm in several comic book groups, and even most hardcore fans of the comic thought the movie was only OK. I think it was better than several other Marvel movies, but it's ranking initially on RT was laughable.
shareI read a review that didn't even discuss the movie itself, just how "important" it was...
shareHaven't seen it yet... gonna watch it tonight. But this liberal logic, that a diverse cast automatically makes for a good movie, really annoys me. Like what happened with the last jedi... ruining one of the most popular franchises ever and sh*tting on the fans just to fulfill some liberal wet dream.
shareRight,make a good movie with a diverse cast. Don't make a diverse movie and tell me it's great because of it's diversity.
shareI just finished watching it too, and the OP is right, Black Panther is a mediocre superhero movie. It's also completely ridiculous even by Marvel standards, with lots of fake-looking scenes and shoddy special effects. I honestly can't figure out where all the hype is coming from and how it managed to rake in so much $$$.
Lastly, got lulz from massive lip-plate guy on the Wakadan high council. Couldn't understand anything said.
couldn't agree more.
Couldn’t understand anything he said? He was speaking a different language...
shareIts average just like most of these super hero Marvel movies, for me theres only about four or five memorable ones, and this isnt one of them.
The tech in these movies is just getting silly too and has been for while. Black Panther as a character was interesting but not Wakanda.
Right now im kind of going through a phase so im not going to see it for a while.
