Really excited about the reviews I’ve seen. Some people have even said the oscar race is already over and this is going to win big next year. Kareem Abdul Jabbar likened it to a monument for MLK and Rosa Parks. What a time to be a fan of movies. Can’t wait to see it next week.

I hope it's a great movie, but let's not get carried away. It's a movie. To put it on a pedastal as high as icons such as MLK and Parks is disingenuous. Has any comic book based movie ever won best picture? I know several have been nominated/won for stuff like best music, screenplay, supporting actor, best hairstyling, etc....
I'm not sure I want to see this. Appears to me it promotes black on black violence. I don't think I can give money for such a promotion. My whiteness won't allow it.

Just saw it. Typical Disney Marvel movie, and I mean that in a good way. It's not gonna win any Oscars outside of FX and Sound and other things action movies sometimes win, but I believe Tulane guy is just trolling and doesn't really believe that.

False, this movie is going to win best picture and if not we will make the #Oscarssowhite movement look like a tea party. Wonder Woman was robbed this year but they will not make the same mistake with Black Panther. If Heath Ledger can win an oscar for being the Joker than why can’t Chadwick win for Black Panther? Coogler for best director and Black Panther for best picture. This will happen and if it does not that will be the end of the oscars as we know it. Either get on board or get out of our way.
Just saw the movie, it was a solid superhero flick. Not as good as Iron Man, The Avengers, and both Captain Americas off the top of my head, but I'd probably put it in the upper half of Marvel.
The debate from extremists on both sides is pretty ridiculous imo. Anyone making a huge deal out of this and acting like this is the most important thing ever in race relations is way overreacting, it's a fine film but an African-American lead isn't something to go crazy over like we're living a century ago and Birth of a Nation is a smash hit, especially given how the comic was created by two white dudes. Likewise, people on the opposite end who are counter-reacting to the hype (which isn't very many in reality) need to shut up and watch the movie. The villain is essentially a black nationalist and puts him in a negative light, while other characters who are distrusting of the only major white hero are also portrayed as being in the wrong given how he basically just wants to help the leads.
Any complaints I have with the film mostly have to do with the story, specifically the premise that the country where it's set supposedly became a utopia over the years from sheer isolation and having a magic metal on their land. Also, a system of government in which your sole figure of power is decided by a fist fight and can basically be overthrown in that manner is a pretty stupid way to run your nation, you wouldn't think they would've made it centuries as a successful society like that. But those are just small quibbles really...

I don’t care what excuses you try to make, i don’t care, I don’t care. Only racists will not think this is the greatest marvel movie of all time.

Who’s “our way”?
What part of this comic book flick did you play? Writing or directing?

JD, just give it a rest. Tiresome already.
Blah blah blah, the bottom line is quite simple. Diversity will always win, this is not just about a movie. This is the start of a movement. Transgender heroes, gay heroes, superheroes from all walks of life, all nations. This is the future of marvel and I’m pretty pumped about it.
