The movie is crappy,don't know why you're supporting this nonsense.

If you didn't cringe while watching that garbage called black panther,then you've got a problem.

Even ishilove admitted that the accent was shitty and that's one out of a 100 flaws.

Your head dey there , I was like what the heck is this when I watched it.. I'm so disappointed..

I was surprised to see people watching this movie 3 times and some rating this movie above 5.0

You know i was surprised when i read your review, cos i respect your reviews but you jumped on the overrated bandwagon.

No, I didn't. I've not watched it before and never gave a review till today when I watched. I only said the storyline was not THAT great and I still think it isn't, but I never thought it was overhyped because I wasn't just looking at it from the storyline angle.

The African culture intonations, locations, languages, costumes were well represented. I love the fact they made it an African superhero movie and used Africa scenery and names. It's cultural significance for blacks who are fans of Hollywood. I also feel they'd have used at least one or two African actors who are not based in Hollywood. For example, I think Pete Edochie would have played the part of Forest Whittaker better than him. Pete is much more in tune with the African voodoo/priesthood ways and how to play it, it will come more naturally to him. They basically used only blacks in Hollywood to act an African-esque superhero movie while neglecting good African based actors, and it didn't seat well with me. But the movie is nice generally.

They used stars that are well known.

That's Hollywood.

The use of Black Americans with the exception of Lupita N'yongo created that flaw in their language. Africans based actors would have voiced it well better than their Black American counterparts. Forest Whittaker priest role didn't impress me at all.

I think adding one or two not well-known African actors wouldn't have spoiled the fun of the film. Would have made Africans feel more represented. But that's all water under the bridge. I'm looking forward to the subsequent sequels to see how story will pan out.

Lupita was the one that used fake accent pass.

She started with a bad African accent in sambisa, after that it was gburururu... fast English.

Anyone watched THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE here..
You should check it out

I cant believe that a crappy Black Panther movie is rated higher than Infinity War on Rotten Tomatoes
Wakanda conspiracy is that
It's very obvious that critics went easy on Black Panther for fear of being called RACIST :/
That movie is overated.
The storyline is average.
The acting is wooden.
And the CGI
Dont get me started on the crappy CGI.
Those Rhinos made me wanna throw up.
Black Panther himself had a messy CGI.
The final battle was too poor.
The part where Shuri fired something at two soldiers and they went flying across the screen.
I puked.

I wanted to give the movie a 4/10 but for the sake of an impressive Michael B Jordan and Andy Serkis, i'll give it a 5.5/10.

I'm not impressed.

Apparently the only people defending this movie are butt hurt Marvel fanboys.

Beorn:


Personally, I won't say Black Panther is overhyped because the actual hype is not about the great storyline of the movie, or because it's the best movie ever, the hype comes from its cultural significance, and what it means for the black people, having their own superhero, with our own African identity and roots clearly depicted in the movie. I still think the names you listed would have been better actors than the ones used who are just blacks but lack that African touch the likes of Chiwetel has.

I agree

He seems to have watched that movie with emotions. Oh!! This is an oyinbo movie showcasing the African culture, let me just overlook the nollywood-like storyline, at least it's showcasing the Africa culture

Trust Rotten Tomatoes at your own peril.

Not only is Black Panther rated higher than Infinity War, it is also rated higher than the legendary Dark Knight.

What I meant by "with the exception of Lupita Nyngo'o" was, she's probably the only actress there that have had stints in African movies (she started out in nollywood as an amateur but got people's attention with her role in Shuga, an African series). Others like Chadwick and his sister, including Micheal B Jordan are just making their forays into African acts hence their difficulties in speaking African styled languages. Whittaker is not new into African acts because he acted as Idi Amin in of his past movies.

You dey watch movies? I see you more as a bookworm.

I don't watch movies often tbh, specifically sought out to watch Black Panther though for the reasons you mentioned earlier and I enjoyed it

Not only is Black Panther rated higher than Infinity War, it is also rated higher than the legendary Dark Knight.

On the flip side, the audience rated Infinity War higher than Black Panther. So that counts for something.

Yes, really?

I used to picture you, from the few times I've read your posts on certain threads, as a nerdy computer geek who lies down on her bed all day when she's not on the move, listening to songs (I think you love music a whole lot), and not much of an outdoor person.

The film depicted African culture to a GLOBAL AUDIENCE in a POSITIVE LIGHT.
Remember how we are supposed to be a Shi.thole people from a Shi.thole continent yes?A people without a history until Europeans set foot on Africa No?
Black Panther is a SUCKER PUNCH to every supremicist out there in the world.
By the way the movie had a black director,two black writers and one of the producers out of the four was black

Ok, good.
Since you know that about Whittaker, why did you said they should have casted Edochie instead of him?

It's not nollywood storyline.

The storyline might be a cliche, but that's because we have seen so many movies.

What's in Infinite war too?

We all know that all the Avengers are coming back, its like they split the movie into two.

I laughed when some people keep hailing Thanos, watch Part 2 and see how he will be useless.

No mind me, I'm no seer, more like a conclusion from the snippets of some of your posts I've read over time.

You know who's behind this moniker, right? I think you do, but if you don't, here's a clue.

I'm the one that told you sometime last year to redact your posts about a certain someone from a popular thread to avoid people tracing her to original moniker to protect her privacy back then.

Now you know, keep mum and act not surprised.

The guy na confirm natural spoiler.

hahahaha....

oyetpel:

Whittaker is good actor, don't get me wrong, but as an African priest, Edochie would have killed that part flawlessly. Imagine his deep baritone voice, his elderly features, white hairs, words of wisdom and gait, there's no how Whittaker will outclass Pete in that particular role. That's like a natural habitat for Pete. And Pete is fluent, and acts well too, so no limitations.

Plus I feel with a bit of touch from African actors, Africans would've loved the film more deeply as one of our own. My 2 cents.

True. Most movies can easily be predicted because of years of watching various storyline.

Ishilove, you too love aproko, why? Ibk is hooked up already, no amount of PMs will put asunder. Oya, come let's go back to reading scandals on the Siena thread. Make we no derail this thread.

Finally finished watching Black Panther.

There is a saying in my place: Don't look too closely at the anus, otherwise you will see a lot of rubbish.

That said, I will not come down too hard at the movie for the simple reason that for once, Africa is not depicted as a starving, corruption ridden continent at war with itself. Like someone pointed out, it is movie that gives a middle finger to racists like that Professor Hugh Trevor-Roper, who infamously described African history as 'darkness'- the "...unrewarding gyrations of barbarous tribes in picturesque but irrelevant corners of the globe..."

This is a Hollywood production, and the past years have seen producers doffing their hats to minorities in productions Coco that saw an all Latino cast for the first time ever, and Black Panther is one of these bold forays into uncharted Hollywood territory.

While it is flawed in many aspects (let's not even go there), the saving grace of the movie is the depiction of Africa and Africans, although it is even faulty in that aspect. Seriously, most African societies have a system of checks and balances that can prevent even the most autocratic leaders from completely destroying age old traditions. Even if he succeeds, it can't be done overnight. A stranger cannot ascend the throne and in a blink of an eye destroy a kingmaking practice that has been on ground for centuries. The movie producers got it wrong there.

Be that as it may, I love the music and some of the action sequences. The acting is average and the gaddem fake accents distracted me from the dialogue, but I simply enjoyed feasting my eyes on that eye candy, Chad Bosewick. Chocolate! Meooooow

My favourite line in the movie is..."don't scare me so much, colonizer!"

7/10 is my verdict, and I'm sticking to it
