Same, I really like Ragnorak probably more than BP but not by much. Both were awesome. Having said that this is what I mean by overrated. I mean c'mon man....
BP might have done 50% more business, if released May 1, at start of the summer season. Movie studio heads showing their genius.
I think they timed it perfectly. The summer blockbuster was always going to be Infinity War. Black Panther getting released during Black History Month adds an extra element to its audience hype. Since we're on the subject, does anyone else get a Futurama vibe from GOTG? A lot of the characters have similar personalities, and the movie mixes comedy well with the feels like Futurama does.
It was perfectly placed. There will be nothing stopping it from steamrolling the box office all the way up to Infinity War.
TBH if you released Wizard of Oz and Citizen Kane today it wouldn't sniff 90% on RT. Different times and the aurora of the films is what carries the high rating. I, Tonya is sitting on 91%.
BP not even best marvel film either. It’s just over hyped right now, once things settle or Infinity Wars comes out it’ll take its place around top 5-7 marvel films(not including any mutant films)
I have to admit it was better than i thought it would be never thought the number would be that high but i'm glad anyways.
my mom just told me that she had went to see Black Panther...I’m shocked she hadn’t been to a movie theater in years, and I never pictured her watching some superhero movie I’m stunned that she actually went to go see it...she said she enjoyed it
IMO BP and Ragnorok are the two best superhero films ever. It's amazing to me that Marvel keeps getting better. I also don't think BP is overated I honestly just think that Ragnorok is underrated. Can't wait to see Infinity War. The acting in BP is superb, especially for an action movie. The mixture of comedy, drama, and action giving to us by great actors is why BP is rated the way it is. The accents are perfect. Marvel still playing chess.
Maybe I'm biased but I just could never put any of these over dark knight. Too much cgi in BP but I did like the cast a lot. Ragnarok was funny and best Thor movie by far but something about ruffalo really annoyed me. I thought he was a better actor.
BP is one of the deepest Marvel movies which puts it high up in.my list. Winter Soldier was dark but its story comes from a war one or two generations away. It's pacing was tighter than bp imo because BP tried to do everything... Build a setting/universe, cross into different genres, setting a tone about colonialism without taking itself too seriously (like a DC movie would), and resetting cultural expectations without rejecting the the ones that already exists. At least this movie and ragnorak proves non-white directors can be just as good. It shouldn't be about race, but it always is in an industry built on appearances.
This is why BP is such a huge hit, especially domestically. People that wouldn't have gone to the theaters went to see it. My sisters went to see it in theaters and they usually just wait for these Marvel movies to reach streaming to watch. They have no intention of watching Infinity War in theaters.
you’re absolutely right...my mom never goes to movie theaters, had no idea what Marvel was, and knew absolutely nothing about superheroes but somehow heard about BP and actually went to go see it I still can’t believe it
Kinda sad it took this long for a movie like bp or coco to resonate with non-white American audiences.
Just saw it and was pleasantly surprised. Most Marvel stuff is a total snoozefest to me. This was an actual movie with depth. Pretty good
Looked for this thread on Friday after I saw it but couldn't find it. Anyway, it was good. Coogler expertly hid Boseman's dry acting by surrounding him with great actors who can portray emotion: MBJ, Lupita, Whittaker, Bassett. All around very well done. I hope this inspires Marvel to allow more bold moves with their movies going forward.
yeah, I’m glad this movie was able to do so well and have such a big impact this movie is doing something right if it can get someone like my mom to go out and see it she even asked me if they were going to make another one, and when they do, I should take her to go and see it...wow
