Black Panther spirals into a stodgy tale of internecine feuding, in which T'Challa is required to come to terms with the sins of past generations. What he doesn't get to do much of is jump around beating-up bad guys. That's a shame.

lol ok
Rating: 3/5
Usually 3/5 is considered fresh on RT, the other 3/5 one is?
iirc each critic/site gets to define what their fresh/rotten thresholds are for their rating systems
just saw it, ppp good. Don't think I'd rank it quite up there with GOTG/Iron Man but it's def above most of the MCU
Spoiler

Killmonger stole the show and I wish we had more of him (and I wish he hadn't DIED!! I thought one of the after-credits scene would reveal him as still alive. Would've been great to have him as a recurring villain like Loki). The throne room scene where he reveals his identity and his THEME starts playing was so badass, probably my fav moment of the movie. Michael B. Jordan was a huge part of the character being good (tbh his dialogue was pretty weak for the most part but he made it work), but it was also nice to have a villain with actual nuance/interesting motivations. It wasn't just another "I want to destroy Earth" MCU villain
Speaking of villains...! I was rly enjoying Klaw as a side villain and was surprised they killed him off so early. Serkis definitely was having a lot of fun with it
Everyone in the theater was freaking out at the Bucky reveal at the end but I have no idea where his storyline left off so...eh?
I think that's one of the things I appreciated the most about it though, that it tied so little into the rest of the MCU. It felt very much like a self-contained story which Marvel movies rarely do anymore. That's a nice change of pace before we get Infinity War and its 823957235 overlapping storylines
