Come on, its been nearly 3 MONTHS since that movie was released.
3 fucking months.
Perhaps i should have waited 9 months before dropping a complete review (with spoilers) undecided

Btw, i know that some people have not seen the movie.
But that has nothing to do with me.
I heard that the clear blu ray version is out.
So if anyone has not seen it, then its because they dont want to.
Or maybe they are not interested in the movie.
Or maybe they wanna wait another 2 months before seeing the movie.
Regardless of how long a movie has been released, don't come and spoil it for people. 3 month is not a long enough time to come posting movie spoiling reviews. You are not the only one who has watched Black Panther, but you are the only one who has come to render the movie tasteless for many of us. Show some consideration for people who have not watched it otherwise you will drive a lot of people away from this thread.

When did the Bluray even come out sef? Was it not like two or three days ago?? Mscheeeeew.

STOP THE FVCKING SPOILERS!!

You obviously don't get the gist. The Avengers have only one chance to win the war out of 14 million odds (as Dr Strange had seen). He also said that he'd protect the gem above anyone's life. So why do you think he let Stark live? wink

See you in Avengers 4!

I give Avengers IW a 9.

Most emotional moment: Spiderman says to Stark, "I don't want to go, please, I don't want to go, Mr. Stark." and then he vanishes
Notable mention: Scenes including Thamos and Gamora. There seems to be love with all the hatred.

Best Character: Thanos, hands down.

PS. I love Groot the same way I love Hodor. embarassed

You have no joy. I haven't watched Black Panther, but now I already know that Forest Whitaker's character died somewhere before the end of the movie. You have also critically analysed a movie that has not been seen by large percentage of us on this thread.

You have removed every element of surprise and expectation. Nothing to look forward to again. I might as well not even bother downloading again since you have ruined it all.

Thanks for spoiling the movie. Thanks a lot.

LMAO. grin

Spoilers or no spoilers, I must watch BP. Nobody can deny me the enjoyment, highest I'll try to skip posts containing spoilers for my sanity.

I have no problem with spoilers of old movies, like last year movies and above, regardless of if I've watched them or not, but this year movies, nah. I can't stomach it. I'll just try to stop complaining and master the art of ignoring spoilers. Like I've managed to dodged the spoilers in Blackmantä by not reading it. When I'm done watching the movie tonight, I'll go back and read the post thoroughly.

12 strong.. 7/10...Excellent war biography. But Hacksaw ridge & 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi still ranks tops best war bios for me.

USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage..5/10... Another war biography by Nicholas Cage. Its just so sad that after the sacrifice & service to his country, they ..................................................................

Stretch 7.5/10 ....if you love hardcore crime movies mixed with Thriller, then you should definitely see this movie.

Hardcore Henry ...7/10... It's kinda nice to see an action movie in first-person perspective, it reminds me of my gaming days.

The Commuter 2018.

Laim Neeson.

I give this action thriller an 8. For the fact that most of the action took place on a train, it makes it more impressive.

Michael (Liam) played a very important leader and father role in the movie. Family is what we have in the end after our highly regarded career life comes to an abrupt end. It's hugely important to treat our family right from the get go.

In other news, I saw Antman trailer few hours ago, I'm not really jazzed about it unless Marvel are going to feature him somehow in Avengers 4. It will be an interesting watch nonetheless.

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by troubleseller: 7:17pm On May 04, 2018
A couple of things.
1. Do we need to set a time range for new movies before we start discussing spoilers or a thread for movie spoilers should be created separately just for that?
2. I know opinions can be divisive but GODDAMN the way some people rate some movies is... SIMPLY AMAZING. You can't rate a movie bad because it bores you. There are more tangible criteria e.g the acting, storyline, twists (if any) e.t.c.
Any hoo your opinion is yours.

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by mekaprime: 8:11pm On May 04, 2018
After seeing this movie Predestination for the 4th time, I must say that its an amazing movie, beautiful extrapolation and brilliant execution. I wonder if there is a tiny little flaw:

Jane would have had her first coitus with a man with funny scars all over his body. Later on when Jane becomes John and gets those exact funny scars, wouldn't that trigger a question in John's head - "Wait, I've seen the same scars on that guy who i once had sex with when I was Jane". However in the movie, John is very surprised to know that the one who ruined Jane's life was John himself.
Could this have possibly been overlooked by the makers?

Secondly,How is it even possible that the john traveled through time( back & forth) to interact with himself in different timelines & worst still, he even has coitus with his female version & there was no repercussion @ all, yet we are made to understand it was all predestined to happen.

Honestly to me, this kinda contradicts the rule of time travel(from time travel movies ve seen), which simply state that you don't interact with oneself either in the future or past without having serious repercussions to the timeline. yet we see the timeline untouched & constant(faith).

Black Panther 5/10.

So i had the chance to see Black Panther again.

The first time i saw the movie at the cinema i rated it 6/10.
Today i have reduced it to 5/10.

Black Panther is so overated and it didn't live up to the crazy hype.
Marvel fanboys might come for my head.
But the truth is even after seeing the movie nearly 3 times, i still cant get myself to like it.

I can point out several flaws in that movie but let's start with the good part shall we

The good thing about Black Panther is the way African cultural elements was potrayed.
The movie is based in Africa so i was expecting it and Marvel didn't dissapoint.
They put up a good effort in expressing the aesthetic authencity of African elements in this movie.

Another thing i liked about Black Panther was Andy Serkis (Ulysses Klaue) and Michael B Jordan (Killmonger)
Andy's acting was superb. He was the only one who seemed like he wasn't reading from a script and he got genuine laughs out of me.

Michael's acting was a close second.
He brought Killmonger to life unlike Boseman whoose character was very dull and boring.

What i didn't like in BLACK PANTHER

Now lets get down to the bad aspects of this overhyped movie.

1. Predictable and Poor storyline:

The story was extremely predictable and to be honest I don't know if the most virtuous resolution was reached in the climax. Michael B Jordan's character had fairly reasonable intentions for wanting to kill the Black Panther and take his place in Wakanda as he had been abandoned, with seemingly no family, to live in the ghettos of Oakland. However, his whole plan to give advanced Wakandan weaponry to every African person in the world so they could kill and overthrow people in power who weren't African was extremely "on-the-chin" in terms of its narrative motivations within the current climate. It wasn't remotely clever or nuanced and really unbalanced his character, his motivations were understandable but his plan was moronic. Additionally, who didn't see Black Panther surviving his fall? Who didn't see the Gorilla tribe coming to the rescue at the end? The entire movie was so bland and predictable I wanted it to be over well before the end.

2. LACK OF CHARACTER VALUE

I didn't fall in love with any major character except Ulysses and Killmonger.
Most part of the movie focused on T'challa but in the end i found his character very boring and dull.

Forest Whitaker's character was shallow. I barely knew him. So i didn't give a Bleep when he died.

In this movie they spend maybe 30 seconds building up the characters, if even that. They just assume that we will have feelings to any character who pops up in the movie - BUT WE DON'T.
If anyone fights, almost dies and in the end dies anyways we just do not care since we do not get to know the person. Forrest Whitaker acts is but off yet you do not care if he dies... WHO is he, tell us something about him before please (!).

3. POOR ACTING

The acting was very wooden - Not a lot to say here really, some really poor line delivery from the cast across the board except for Andy Serkis and Michael B Jordan. No one was particularly charismatic, the main character for instance was extremely boring.

4. POOR SCRIPT

The script was very robotic - This ties into the poor acting, but perhaps as a result of the script, some of the actors never really had a chance to bring their characters to life.

5. T'CHALA


Basically throughout the entire movie you never really learn anything or see anything of the Black Panther's character, he basically moves from one place to another showing no emotion and just either smashes things or asks people questions. Apparently the character is supposed to be very intelligent, while it was probably a narrative choice, the Black Panther in this movie seemed like an emotionless Jarhead whose only really characteristic was that he get nervous around his girlfriend..

6. POOR ACTION SEQUENCE

Apart from the impressive car chase and the challenge stuff, every other fight scene in this movie was average and lacklustre.
the action in the movie is terrible and not remotely on the level of the well-choreographed fighting in say Captain America Winter Soldier - please for the love of god show someone getting punched or kicked without having to cut the shot 5 times.

7. POOR CGI

The CGI in this movie is terrible.
Did any one notice the Rhinos
Very poor CGI.
the CGI was awful in the action scenes: whenever someone was even prodded, they would go flying across the screen in the most outlandish fashion.
the CGI on Black Panther felt extremely overused and was surprisingly quite bad.

8. SOUNDTRACK

The impressive Kendrick Lamar curated soundtracks barely feature in this movie.
The orchestral score is also quite average, coming in strong at weird moments and being quite out of place in certain places.


BLACK PANTHER 5/10

i swear the movie was just average ..no black panther moment .the tchalla and killmonger fight was way off and pretty face , during the final scenes it felt like "bunch of black american dudes pretending to be africans " .... the women that played okoye actually tried tho she reminds me of the amazons in ww

Pretending to be Africans? Don't you think that should have cast Odunola Adekola as Black panther? And Funke Akindele as Nakia( I think so too.

Even a Nigeria movie director cast a British born as an African woman in half of a yellow sun.
