    Storyline

    Edit
    After the events of Captain America: Civil War, Prince T'Challa returns home to the reclusive, technologically advanced African nation of Wakanda to serve as his country's new king. However, T'Challa soon finds that he is challenged for the throne from factions within his own country. When two foes conspire to destroy Wakanda, the hero known as Black Panther must team up with C.I.A. agent Everett K. Ross and members of the Dora Milaje, Wakandan special forces, to prevent Wakanda from being dragged into a world war. —Editor

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      During an interview with Michel Martin on the radio program "All Things Considered," Danai Gurira (Okoye) said that the language spoken by Wakandans is a real language, Xhosa, a South African language characterized by clicks and glottal stops: "It's the same language that is native to Nelson Mandela. It's from the Cape region of South Africa. And Mr. John Kani, who plays T'Challa's father, T'Chaka, he's Xhosa. And so he - they started and agreed to that language being the language of Wakanda in Captain America: Civil War (2016)."
    • Goofs
      (at around 39 mins) When Shuri gives T'challa the new shoes (called sneakers), she mentions that they absorb sound & allow silent footsteps, which T'challa demonstrates. Later in the film (at around 52 mins), T'challa runs up a ramp wearing the sneakers... accompanied by the sound of footsteps.
    • Quotes

      M'Baku: If you say one more word, I'll feed you to my children!

      [Ross shuts up, beat]

      M'Baku: I'm kidding. We're vegetarians.

    • Crazy credits
      The main credits for the people of Wakanda are colored according to the tribe:
      • the cast credits for the members of the Wakandan royal family are in purple/gold, the royal colors.
      • Forest Whitaker's credit is in purple, as befits Zuri's role as adviser to the royal family.
      • Lupita Nyong'o's credit is shaded green, the River Tribe color.
      • Danai Gurira's credit is shaded red, the Dora Milaje color.
      • Daniel Kaluuya's credit is shaded blue, the Border Tribe color.
      • Winston Duke's credit is represented by an ape face, since the Jabari have no tribe color.
    • Alternate versions
      In advance of the film's release in India, the filmmakers removed all references to the Hindu god Hanuman presumably to avoid generating any controversy surrounding the film.

    7/10
    Sadly Over-hyped
    Black Panther has got people throbbing, some saying it gave rise to Africa in the MCU. Critic's seem to all love it... reviews have been rave, even before the movie actually opened in Theaters.

    I found it funny, touching, strong as well as weak at some points... I do have to say that it has been over-hyped. It's not as good as Age of Ultron, and many of MCU releases. It didn't have a true villain we grew hatred for, Killmonger was just some angry kid to be honest.

    The women, do pick it up though, I'd hang a few but all of them did this movie good. Their roles infused well with the plot, and none of them disappointed me.

    To be honest with everyone else, I'd pretty much say that (as a black person) we loved Black Panther for it's cast and setting... Culturally - Black Panther is one of the greatest film's ever made, but Critically - It doesn't really deserve the universal acclaim. 7/10
