Summary
Reviewers say 'Black Panther' is lauded for its groundbreaking Black representation, stunning visuals, and immersive world. Chadwick Boseman and Michael B. Jordan deliver standout performances as T'Challa and Killmonger, respectively. The film explores themes of identity, power, and responsibility, receiving critical acclaim. However, some find the plot formulaic and characters one-dimensional. Criticisms include pacing issues, predictability, and over-reliance on CGI. A few argue the film's cultural impact overshadows its narrative and technical flaws.

Black Panther is a property that Marvel should have used a long time ago. He's a great character with an interesting back story.
Finally he's firmly established in the MCU.
I'll keep this brief. The story was GREAT, the acting AMAZING, the action FANTASTIC, the movie was MOVING.
This film deserves all the praise it is receiving. For Wakanda!

Thanks for a wonderful performance even while battling cancer. Few people could've done what you did and even fewer could've done it with such panache.
This movie doesn't deserve a 10 star rating, I agree, but it doesn't deserve all those 1's and 2's from the haters either. It remains to this day, one of the best standalone Marvel movies ever made.
You'll be sorely missed.
8/10

Although this is a really good movie, it has amazing costumes, they really got the essence of a African cultures, the cast, in general, did a good job, it still had some problems, including, special effects, character development, wasting such an actor as forest Whitaker and a really common narrative superheroe story. In general, this movie is fine, as I have stated earlier, but the truth is that the professional critics have judge this movie for the wrong reasons, they have let their political interests overshadow their ability to rate a movie the way it's supposed to be.
In conclusion, this movie is completely overrated, also, definitely not the best movie of the year, not even in the top ten, not even the best movie of superheroes of this year and even though the academy nominated it for best picture it is still overrated. If you want to watch a really good superheroe movie and a really good movie in general I suggest The Dark Knight not Black panther.

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

First for all the people comparing the plot to the other empty MCU plots... did you not watch the film........
Michael B Jordan's character itself could have been made into a feature film. Really really think of the trauma he went through living in the poor streets of Oakland while his first cousins, aunts and uncles thrived in a country that's supposedly one of the worst places on earth. While he lives in a country that constantly rejects him. (Even in these reviews lol) Really really take yourself out your shoes and put them in his. I know for SOME this may be very hard.
To say you didn't like this film because the plot lacked is nothing but pandering and hiding behind of a veil of ignorance. It's so ironic that this movie with so much grandeur and life is getting bashed by close minded Americans. It's truly telling. If you like superhero movies and diversity doesn't shrink your existence you will bare minimum get a kick out of it. Thanks for reading.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe horse used for the rhino shots was a Clydesdale. They have the same gait as a rhino, so their hips move similarly.
- 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.
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: There is a scene at the end of the closing credits: Shuri meets a convalescent Bucky Barnes. This leads into Avengers: Infinity War (2018).
- Alternate versionsIn 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.
