  It really annoy's me when people say that Marvels Black Panther is the first black/coloured Marvel superhero..........NO IT'S NOT!! What about Marvels Luke Cage aka Powerman, Marvels Blade etc.

  There is certainly a lot of press surrounding this particular statement (despite, as you say madpolac683, it being factually incorrect). Are these statements enhancing the films rep though or over shadowing it. Instead shouldnt we just be focussing on whether the films actually any good or not (which if the critical response is anything to go by, this is perfoming very well in those circles). Have no plans to rush out to the cinema and see this but will certainly give it a prompt looksee on its home release.

  Another movie they've hyped the crap out of, not because of the movie itself, but for other reasons.  Just like DC's Wonder Woman.
  Despite the hype and nonsense, I went to see this yesterday.
  
  It's an OK film.  Nothing really stood out for me, just another formulaic Marvel movie.
  I will say though, that there were a couple of bits, that if you flipped them around would have people screaming about the racism in the movie.

  They say that they do not want Racism in this country, but personally and secretly I think they do.

  What I mean is that everything regarding every other race other than our own is made into something far bigger and far greater than anything "British"!! Anyway, I think this is getting too political, I think we should revert to the topic at hand.

  You're right Mac, the British race is also overshadowed by things like this African movie.

  I’m just going to stick to the original topic as stated in the title, and say that I liked the film. Thought it was very good, haven’t read many Black Panther comics but from what I know of the comics they got the character right and found the setting of Wakanda interesting and seeing its history. Definitely want to see more of some of the supporting characters (M’Baku in particular).
  Ending nicely opened up it to the wider world of the MCU, and want to see Shuri interacting with Stark and Banner.

  Got around to checing this out the other day and have just finished watching it. Reason being the film put me to sleep but thats not to say the film is a dead loss. Have gotta say the praise received by the critics, press etc..in my opinion, after seeing the film, was far, far in  excess of the reality. Get the film was meant to symbolise this and significant for that..but did the film actually entertain (the only thing im on the lookout for). This film is either at it's best when  it's al kicking off, when his sister is on screen and when his general is on screen. The dry wit and humour fromthe two individuals mentioned is second to none and the action does a pretty darn decent job. Trouble is, it's the rest of the film that lets it down. A little too chatty, a little too bogged down in tradition and frankly, for the first 90 minutes or so of the film, ol BP himself, when out of costume, is frankly a bit of an unentertaining drip. Devoid of wit, humour, likeability or personality, Does go some way to explaining why i watched the first 80 minutes and then had to return for the rest as i did get a bit bored. Is this going to trouble the better MCU movies already out in terms of sheer entertainment..no chance..but theres potential here.
