Another stunning and thouroughly entertaining movie from Marvel Studios who continue to gain momentum with each successive film. Delivering something new and original all within the framework of the same genre and universe.
A coming of age film of sorts that sees T'Challa return to his native Wakanda following the events of Captain America: Civil War to deal with the pressures of the thrown and fulfill his potential as both warrior and king, T'Challa and Black Panther alike. Thus being an origin adventure without the obligatory origin story.
Wakanda itself is visually breathtaking and looks as spectacular as one can imagine.
Wakanda itself is an unofficial character in the film with a rich visual palette and identity. It's people, along with most visuals in the movie, are brightly coloured and looks like an.artists dream, as rich and colourful as the comics that spawned them.
All the principle and supporting cast bring it. There's hardly anybody that doesn't stand out or get a moment to shine in this deep ensemble, so much so that T'Challa himself is almost outdone in the movie by the performances of Michael B. Jordan (Erik Killmonger) and the female supporting characters who are so good, I'd be disappointed if they didn't at least cameo in Avengers: Infinity War in a few months.
Highly recommended for any fan of Marvel Studios' movies, Superhero movies or action adventures with hints of political.drama thrown in for good measure. Not to be missed.
An entertaining Kirk Douglas movie when he is on screen and looking crazed. More of a chore the rest of the time and tough to follow at times. A little laughable and hokey in places and slow in the middle but satisfying action when the action kicks in. An great rousing and creepy score at the top and during the credits though.
This movie is fulled with charm and is downright touching. Having watched The New Adventures of Winnie-The-Pooh in my early years, my heart melted every time Pooh was on the screen. This bear if simple brain looked delightfully adorable as did his other friends from the Hundred Acre Wood. In many ways, at this stage of my life, I can probably better related to Christopher Robin's struggles in the film and so there are things adults can take away from this movie beyond the joy kids will get from seeing the animals of the Hundred Acre Wood. Jim Cummings knocks it out of the park as the voice of both Pooh and Tigger and Brad Garrett is a good Eeyore. Ewan McGregor turns in a charming, and at times touching, performance as Christopher Robin.
Between Paddington and now Pooh, bring us more charming and stuffed bears to the bring screen.
Very impressed by the first episode. Usually try goin in with an open mind to new shows like this and they most certainly made a good first impression.
a little hard to relate to the overt ratial themes, bit the way they were presented most certainly made for a good final product.
Very interested to learn more about Jefferson Pierce as he was a very compelling character and effortlessly carried the episode. I have no doubt he'll capably carry the rest of this show as well.
Cliff hanger was no real surprise but will see how they continue to follow up on it.
Black Lightnings costume looks nice, but preferred his more comic accurate looking costume that we briefly got a glimpse at early on.
Bring on Episode 2!
