Sorry folks but this one didn't go well for Marvel. I don't even know where to start. Acting was average, more like below average. Screenplay was as much ordinary as it could be. No surprise here. CGI was OK but it's somehow expected from Marvel. But I totally didn't like the idea of Wakanda. Hidden city in the center of Africa with tons of technology and advanced weapons and systems and so on. But how the hell did they build all of that? No explanation. It just happened. Yes, they have Vibranium, but they don't sell it. In fact they never did and for whole world they are just a bunch of shepherds and farmers. So where did they take all that money to build empire like this? I don't like movies without explanations and this is one of them. Almost nothing has been told about Vibranium whatsoever. Oh yeah, it's some super thing from the universe capable of anything. That's all the explanation you get. There are too many clichés we have already seen too many times. And we have to see them again. One example: I challenge someone for a fight because I want to kill him. And when I have the chance to kill him, what would I do? Kill him or throw him down from the cliff to the water where he can survive? But enough. If you hesitate if to watch this, I can recommend not to waste your time. Wait for the Avangers where you can also see the Black Panther. You won't miss anything if you miss out this movie.

@hlava I think this movie had a different target and message to send as well. It's more valuable for Africans or people of African heritage. Just the idea of portraying any part of Africa as a high technology place is already something that is rare to see, so yes maybe it wasn't explained much why or how that kingdom or empire was made, because that was not the story to tell in this movie, it was more about relating to an African superhero and the role of powerful women around him. And both goals were achieved for the target group. I do agree about the cliches and that it's quite different from the rest of Marvel movies, but it's totally understandable since the other movies do not share the same location and culture of this movie. You know it's just my opinion and perspective, it doesn't make yours invalid, I do believe that people see things differently and get different values from movies.

@ladyzee Sorry for the late answer, I somehow forgot. I understand your point of view but if some movie has bad screenplay, bad acting, nonsenses and somewhere after that is African culture in African environment then it's fine but I (or anyone else) can't go for high rating because if so, then we are insulting other movies from Marvel. I can't give Panther 8 or 9 stars and the same for e.g. Avengers or Thor Ragnarok. Quality of those movies isn't just the same. That's why I don't understand so high rating.

@hlava rating is high because if I rate it anything less than 10 people will call me racist.

@dumbsloth87 LOL, that made me laughing :) But in fact it may be one of the reasons.

@hlava It's okay. I completely understand you, probably the rating was for all the other reasons and not rating it as an MCU product. I can personally say my ultimate favorites are Iron Man, Thor and Avengers movies. The latest Avengers movie gave me all kind of emotions, like I can't wait to see the second part.

@hlava If you're a Marvel fan, you have to watch it, but I did feel like I was let down by the way that the film was over sold when it came out. I would have liked this more before all the hype, but because I saw it late, the hype blew it for me and it couldn't possibly live up to the expectations.

@hlava Wakandan technology is a pretty meh handwave, but so is Dr. Strange learning to be Sorcerer Supreme in one or two years or Tony building 35 suits in a year. There's a lot of handwavium in the MCU, so I step away from those sorts of things to base my rating on. Ultimately, there's a strong villain (something rare for an MCU movie until recently) and a meaningful message. My biggest gripe (other than a distaste for the handwavium) is a tiny piece of a line wherein Killmonger says: *'and their children!'* Changing Killmonger from a villain with a point, into exactly what his name says, another racist, an oppressor of another colour. It was a small piece of a small scene, and it hurt the 'this villain has a point'. Still, it only *hurts* it, the villain does still have a point, and the message is still meaningful. There's a weak wrapper on it, but there are a lot of strong pieces (Killmonger, Shuri, Klaue, even M'Baku), all built around a culture and setting we don't see enough. If it were an option, I'd probably give this a 7.5, but if I have to lean it towards a 7 or an 8, it gets an 8 for finally ousting the long procession of straight, white dudes leading the front lines. Not because we need to stop having them (I'm hype for Tom Holland's place in the MCU too), but because we need to have something else as well.
