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.
Featured reviews
At a time when Marvel was excelling in every project, a very unique one appeared.
After all, we hadn't had any risky proposals, and "Black Panther" certainly was.
With Ryan Coogler at the helm and Chadwick Boseman (RIP) as T'chala, this film became a milestone, so much so that it earned Oscar nominations, being the only MCU film to do so.
The big question here is whether it's that big a deal or was it simply a scheduling issue and nothing more.
I think this film is a gray area, a middle ground. Black Panther had already been presented in "Captain America: Civil War," being one of the highest points and highlights, so a standalone film was a safe bet.
If we add the imposing presence of Michael B. Jordan, this combination had everything going for it.
Its box office takings shouldn't deceive you by the fact that this film has several flaws in the script, especially in the CGI. To this day, the fight between the two Black Panthers on the train tracks is an eternal meme.
Regardless, I consider it a film with soul, and each of its members gave their all. We saw it and see it every time we rewatch the film.
It kicked off the entire finale of the Infinity Saga.
I remember it fondly, but it's definitely not the work of art that most people believe it to be or want us to believe it to be.

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.

Just meh. Nothing special just an ever age superhero movie which for some reason people praise way too much. No idea why.
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

I'd heard this movie was good and finally got around to watching it. When it was done I looked on IMDB and saw hundreds of 1 and 2 star reviews that I can only fathom were written by people who would hate anything with an almost entirely black cast that focused on a fictional or real African culture, or dislike seeing empowered women characters. Was it my favorite in the MCU? No. Are there people who give it 10 stars just because of the all black cast? Maybe. But 1 Star? Please. That's just Alt-Right spamming. It's a good contribution to the overarching MCU storyline. Worth watching.

- TriviaDuring 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.
- 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.
