Each man and woman...is resplendent in Ruth Carter's traditional costumes. Indigenous dialects are spoken amid the space flights, museum heists, and car chases.

You could feel like everybody felt like they were making something that they were really proud of.

But Black Panther was a moment, not just for Marvel fans and Disney stans, but it was the rare instance of a film purporting itself to be a cultural movement, and succeeding.

I want us to love on Black Panther, bravely and openly. But, we cannot forget the asterisk. We cannot forget that a significant achievement for black representation once again came on the back of forced black queer silence.

Black Panther gives off a contemporary crackle while staying true to its roots, both African and Marvel.

Jun 11, 2018This movie lived up to its hype. It's possibly one of the best films of its kind, and I especially liked the development of all the characters. The villain isn't just a villain. I understood him. Like all Marvel films, the visual and aural elements are excellent. Acting and writing are top notch here as well. This film is a bit more serious than most Marvel films, which works in its favor.Morris N Super Reviewer

May 10, 2018Disney and Marvel's team-up continues to feel the burn, as they say, with this entry aimed squarely at inclusion for the black ticket buyers across the planet. In a Devilishly interesting move, the bad guy (Michael B. Jordan chewing scenery with the best of cinemas bad guys) is given a more interesting story than the hero (Chadwick Boseman, seemingly wondering just what he is doing here most of the time, most comfortable onscreen when paired with the fiery Lupita N'yong'o). This arm of the marvel Universe is only getting an introduction, and this seems to serve that purpose well enough, but more will be required if this hero template is to serve in future.Kevin M.

Apr 08, 2018I caught Black Panther again and my opinion on the film is unchanged. It's a well made action film, but it's nothing special. I like the way they managed to have slavery topics as part of the villains reasoning for his actions. The movie has relevant idea's, but its not the ground-breaking film I had expected. It's just another costume superhero. 04/03/2020 I'll get the obvious part out of the way, I don't get the hype. The film is good but not great, It never pushes the boundaries of filmmaking or comic book movies, The Dark Knight is still the winner in my opinion. Marvel are still producing good films and they have the market all tied up until the Titan arrives on the 25th of April. Black Panther is a good film because it embraces the elephant in the room, a dark superhero. I enjoyed it pushed the envelope for diversity but I suspect it will be a one off. Coogler should move onto more story central filmmaking and leave the Marvel world alone, he has created a good film but he is a great storyteller and these films are severely one dimensional. The villain still lacks a punch, Marvel needs to learn the hero isn't always the most interesting part of the film. Killmonger comes and goes easily, granted he has a decent back story but apart from that it never comes onto the screen. Marvel are at incredible heights with the box office and I fear once Avengers arrives and they start into phase 4, things will begin to slip. This a good film but another Marvel film that won't be remembered by the masses in the years to come. 06/04/2018.Brendan N Super Reviewer

Apr 02, 2018t was about time we saw a Marvel superhero blockbuster starring mostly African-American actors and achieving the success and popularity that it did - and even better is how great it is, with a thrilling climax and relatable characters that compensate for a couple of flaws in the script.Carlos M Super Reviewer
