Black Panther (2018)

[stip]

I admit I'm not a die-hard Marvel guy. I end up seeing most of it. Some of it is a lot of fun and some of it underwhelms. But I'm really excited for this one. I think it looks really fun. I also really loved Iron Man 3 and Dr. Strange, though. So...

Iron Man 3 was ok, Dr Strange fucking kicked ass.

I'm the opposite. I love Iron Man 3. Dr. Strange was good, but I haven't been drawn back to it.

I think my favorite part of that movie was Wong. I hope we get more of him going forward

Or critics have devolved into unthinking, homogenous drones and Disney has figured out how to pander to them. That's probably it.

have you guys seen this 'story'?

Sounds like a good use of ones time.

Dr Strange was suuuch a boring thing...Thor Ragnarok was so fun i dont think BP or ant man 2 will be close. And its weird to see BP in his trailer and then in the avengers 4 trailer...and both movies look the same.

I have a hard time seeing how these both look the same, other than the fact that the same people appear in both. There are a lot of pretty striking and out there shots and visuals we've seen in the trailers

In terms of lighting, blocking, framing, shot composition, production design, color palette, etc. these adhere pretty closely to Marvel's "house style". That's not a value judgement (I think the house style sucks but that's beside the point), it is just very aesthetically uniform. Black Panther just has a bit of afrofuturism thrown in.

I hope this Chadwick Boseman never #meetoo'd anyone. This movie looks pretty badass.

What an odd remark

[Orpheus]

I thought this was really good apart from the standard Marvel bullshit big fight at the end. Michael B. Jordan is awesome. There is a shot of him midway through that literally made me laugh out loud with how diabolical it was. I need to go watch Creed now.

Going tonight at 10:45

[VinylGuy]

going tonight too.
A friend of mine, whose taste i respect a lot, told me it was embarrassing.

[LoathedVermin72]

Yeah I have zero desire to see this. It looks like every other boring, empty Marvel movie.

I am not excited for this but I have free tickets

Can I have them?

I also have free tickets. And I won't be posting about it if I hate it, because apparently this movie is so good that if you hate it you'll be racist. I actually read that today, btw.

Show me

chadwick boseman was fantastic in civil war. very excited to see what he can do in his own movie

[Revelator]

Surely some of these critic reviews are overblown? It sounds like it's the next best movie behind The Godfather at this point according to the critics. Definitely interested to hear feedback from folks on the board--was gonna wait till next weekend (maybe) to give this a go....

They're afraid to be called racists if they don't like it.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

if you don’t like it then you hate blackz

[lennytheweedwhacker]

martin freeman is the realest brother in this

[stip]

so lets predict who wont like the movie because its Marvel (LV), because its full of minorities (ruddo?) or both (VG)
