They got my money a second time. Saw it again with family who hadn't seen it yet. Also, some critics were saying how Black Panther was taking money away from A Wrinkle In Time and trying to pit both movies up against each other lol.



I read that this morning and laughed so hard especially at one of the comments:

The one that got me was "got to the theater and the actors are black, fighting at night, never had a harder time finding my seat." C'mon China.

Did producers not account for my peoples narrow eyes?

they are right that the opening action sequence at night is so dark it is difficult to follow

not sure honkies would have helped much tho

If only there was a way to show up and sit down before a movie starts? Nah, that is a crazy talk.

Similar with the fighting at the end especially while falling but that was also them being in black suits in the dark

It really depends on the theater honestly. The first time I saw it, I had no problem with the fight scene at the beginning of the film. However, the second time I saw it at a different theater, I noticed the projector wasn't as bright and a lot of the darker scenes were somewhat hard to follow.

Not gunna deny that I don't do that but my vision is pretty OP

$27 million this weekend, #1 for the 5th consecutive week. The only movies in the last 20 years to achieve this are Avatar and The Sixth Sense.

At this point I think Infinity War is the only thing that is going to topple it.

Watched it yesterday, it was fine.

First half didn't have any direction (some guy was actually snoring through it), car scene was dumb, tribal fight was forced/too long, and they didn't focus enough on the villain and his plot which could have been actually really interesting. Wish they would have elaborated more on the ending, and the technology in general. The sister and Michonne were great, would have watched a movie just with those two.

Overall one of the better Marvel movies, but nothing that makes this TEH BESTEST EVAR.

I can respect all of that as your opinion except the idea that the "first half didn't have any direction." This was an exceptionally well-constructed movie.

Also wut at "tribal fight was forced" when it was what the whole movie built up to.

[SephYuyX]

It was forced in regard to how fast it all happened - it was what, a span of a day, two at most? They foreshadowed it a bit, but for a tribal civil war to break out so soon felt forced. If it had been several weeks/months with monger in charge (which would have been nice to see regardless) it would have made more sense to me.

They'd known it was coming for weeks at least. T'Chaka died back in Civil War. What happened wasn't some sort of tribal civil war but rather their succession ritual. The right of King passes onto the next of kin and the other tribes are able to challenge for the crown at that time. All of the tribes declined to challenge out of respect or belief that T'Challa was what was best for Wakanda, except for M’Baku. I dunno how that can be felt as forced.

I'm not talking about any of that. I'm referencing when monger took over.

Don't you get that you're a racist for criticizing this?

[Zealot]

Civil wars breaking out almost immediately upon the violent usurpation of a crown is neither novel nor unrealistic.

The whole point of that was that the tribes were so set in the old ways of "Well, he won the rite of passage so he's king now" kind of mentality that nobody questioned it.

It was a sign of how things really needed to change from how they used to be, and that they needed to evolve beyond their old systems of belief that were in place.

It was literally the theme of the entire movie.
