i'm really into this movie on paper but that trailer showed nothing I actually wanted to see, they did a bad job of selling it. it could literally be a trailer for any action movie with a scifi angle starring tom hardy.

Black super hero. I guess we are just forgetting Hancock ever happened?

Jessica Jones season 2 looks good.

Fuck no; they ruined it with SJW wokeness.

Jessica Jones literally responds "How rapey of you" in the trailer. Now she's just a drunken asshole with no real purpose (she's always been mildly annoying, but if the trailer is any indication, I'd rather watch YouTube videos of feminists screaming).

:cheers: I been asking for a Hancock sequel for a fucking decade. The shit made $225 million domestic and over $600 million worldwide. And the goddamn "villain" was balding and had no superpowers except for unrepentant white rage. And Charlize Theron's heroics introduced a side/backstory worthy of making 'Hancock' at least a trilogy.

But nope. Black superheroes didn't get love then. Not even if Hollywood literally took the biggest Black movie star at the time and saddled him with a script that was floating around for years in development hell, roped in Jason Bateman for comic relief, and retold the basic "with great power comes great responsibility" tale, except added alcoholism and sociopathy to the superhero in power. Welp, 2008 was a different time.

(Will Smith could easily co-produce 'Hancock 2' and cake up more while establishing another star vehicle for himself, but time will tell if his ego will go there. The masses want 'Bad Boys 3' more which seems unlikely now, 'Suicide Squad 2' is already happening so he's committed to that for a while, and obviously he's got other shit poppin'. Still, *I* never forgot about 'Hancock'. First movie to ever depict what would happen if a superhero had an orgasm :ironmike: it was maybe one of the greatest sex scenes in movie history, on a level :bunny: )

ALL THAT BEING SAID:

I just saw 'Black Panther' twice today. It is the very best movie I have ever seen in my entire life so far.

Thank you for your consideration, everything else. You were cute. But you are not Black Panther.
Ryan Coogler created a perfect movie. There literally isn't one line of dialogue that was cinema cliche, not one plot point that was predictable a mile away, not one action sequence that was fight-by-numbers, and not one ignorant corporate pandering ploy to the audience for attention/money/cred/life trash. There's at least 25 reasons why this is MY favorite movie ever, but 3 are enough for now:

-Wakanda is the fully visualized African Dream that could have existed if a part of Africa was never colonized. If that isn't a next level setting for sci-fi, then FUCK THE ENTIRE WORLD :omar:

-Ryan Coogler and Co. made a script that is so immaculate and immortal, it will resonate for years upon years. This is truly an instant classic, and a pivotal game changing moment in culture, art & everything. There is NO overstating the impact of what 'Black Panther' can do, because this shit is way bigger than the money it earns. And it's gonna earn Marvel a fucking Vibranium-mountain sized chunk of cash.

-The best supporting actors ARE FUCKING EVERYONE IN THE FUCKING MOVIE. Depending on your own personality type, you'll gravitate to someone brilliant. And whoever you don't like, you won't have a good reason to, because there is no bad acting in this movie. It's a fucking masterpiece of movie magic, and everyone involved seriously deserves praise from here to the moon. Michael B Jordan WILL KILL YOU. The interweaving backgrounds of antagonist and Ulysses Klaue and T'Challa make for the illest chess game seen in ages. My favorite fucking film of all-time. OF ALL-TIME. Also it really helps that I'm Black, and they connect Black Panther to Black history in a way that NO superhero movie EVER has done. This movie was the epitome of unpredictably fresh. It's a new fucking day after 'Black Panther'.

Believe all the hype. It don't matter if Killmonger is a Public Enemy fan. :rockout:

I only have two words left to say, motherfuckers.

:cheers: :rofl: I love ya, brah! I'll add the caveat I added elsewhere: sure, I've seen movies with bigger explosions, more complex editing/cinematic trickery, more intellectual intricacy, and what not...

BUT FUCK ALL THAT SHIT.

This had JUST enough of EVERYTHING in human life to be PERFECT. LITERALLY EVERYTHING. Not one emotion was left unexplored, not one moment was wasted being cliche, I was never pandered to or felt like my intelligence was insulted, there was comedy/action/tension/nuance/romance/technology/great chase scene/great fight scenes/generational conflict & connection/family variance/politics/religion/life/death/Africans/Asians/Europeans/STAN LEE/and shit you ain't NEVER ever seen before in a movie

KANYESHRUG

Emotionally, I've NEVER in my LIFE walked out of a movie theater feeling such resplendent shock. This movie FAR surpassed ALL expectations. I just saw it for a third time today, and I cried at different parts, but left feeling no less astounded. I'm sure it will resonate for ages. It's far more than just a movie. That sounds like a cliche now... but when characters are referenced ad nauseam, and the memes are unleashed, and the first weekend numbers are added up... NINJAS GON SEE. OH DEY GON LEARN :copy:

Bean-counter muhfuckas be mumbling bout a $200 million opening weekend right now :ohsh: and it's only Friday night. I went to a matinee at 2:45 today, and shit was 95% FULL. Evening shows were already sold out. This shit is gonna have LEGS, fam. Expect it to dominate the culture for the next few weeks of worldwide life. Truss. #WAKANDAFOREVER

So this movie was really damn good. Great film in general and their best marvel movie easily. Movie got an an applause from the crowd. Best way I can describe it for me is that I felt I could’ve watched again right after it ended.

Exactly. I seen it 3 times in the first 24 hours, and it's only getting better each time, genuinely. Masterful storytelling is happening in front of our eyes. Ryan Coogler & Co. has made unprecedented history.

De Black Panta LIVES! :ironmike:

SHOUTOUT TO DANIEL KALUUYA AND DANAI GURIRA FOR DELIVERING ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL MOMENTS IN CINEMATIC HISTORY.

ok it's been two weeks hopefully it's safe to come back in here now

Movie was dope, def top tier Marvel but flawed in very Marvel-ish ways too. Best part was how they realized Wakanda on screen, the characters were good (supporting cast overshadowed the leads imo), but it's a shame the story moves through such insanely predictable story beats and just blatantly takes narrative shortcuts at some points toward the end.

I can't be the only one who saw the IW trailer today. Thoughts, other than it looks fucking lit?

Not adjusting for inflation, Black Panther is the highest-grossing superhero film of all-time.

I can't get over how bad the cgi looks in the shot of Hardy turning into Venom, it's like glossy claymation. Hardy's Boston(?) accent is a close second offender.

Also this
really reminds me more of a DCU clunker than Marvel, but they can't all be Thor 3s and Black Panthers

I knew the accent would suck, but I thought this looked pretty good. Although, I was hungover on the shitter when I watched it.

I was blown away by Infinity War honestly. To have that many moving parts, characters, and story lines seemed a near impossible task but they actually did it. And did in a way that really just spotlighted how many great characters they created. Almost every character in the movie had at least a couple "oh shit" or "lol" moments. The different story lines didn't feel forced and the tension was ratcheted at the right times. A perfect blend of their action/adventure/comedy/sci-fi signature style. Thanos is easily the best villain they'e created and I can't wait to see what's in store for him in the next installment.
