nicely inconspicuous
That's really mean the lights came up so fast, they stayed down where we watched it which I thought kinda told people the show ain't over yet. SorryI'm not used to the lights coming up before the end of the credits. Not been to the cinema much of late! I used to stay till the end, always. But my brain said: lights have come up; it's over.
I'll just have to watch it again

Cool people die horrible, preventable deaths.
I thought it was great, really nicely paced, I liked the fact that the "bad guy" wasn't just straight up evil, characters I cared about, and not too much of the fucking annoying everything-filmed-up-too-close-so-we-can-cgi-the-fuck-outta-it-but-you-can't-really-see-shit fight scenes.
My son gave it a 7/10 and I think I agree. Probably an 8 to encourage them for the women characters. For reference I'd give the last Thor film the same, but for totally different reasons. For further reference I'd give pretty much every other Marvel film 5 or less.
Oh, apart from the first Iron Man, give that 7 also.
The general was my favorite character overall, fucking awesome.

And bloody brilliant to see dark-skinned women featured gloriously

Who was the White Wolf guy at the very end?
Are we supposed to know who he is or is it a tantalising mystery?

He is a Captain America character. The last CA movie ended with him in Wakanda for medical treatment.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Bloody infinity war trailer is a bit of spoiler showing just before Black Panther (As in I knew who wasn't going to die as a result of watching it)....
Lights came up just as the credits rolled at the Odeon Wimbledon and most people left before any of the 'extras' appeared...

have you ever explored your dark side?
I found Peckham cinema experience to be the closest to the that of seeing a movie in the US, San Francisco, in 1990, in terms of audience participation. In SF there were always huge cheers when the guns came out, and people even standing up on their seats to shout things out. Peckham wasnt quite like that, but not too far off.

Also watched it, I found it hilarious in parts at the hollywood use of stereotypes, trying to tick boxes for diversity, also very surprised people are praising the film as an example of diversity, it's not, just a white dominated industries attempt to placate with enough digs to keep the seats filled.
So much stereotyping FFS.
Has the possibility of so much more.

I don't think it's the best Marvel movie but I enjoyed well enough, only Wakanda made no sense to me. Apparently in terms of science and technology the place is highly advanced (all thanks to a teenage girl) but its an autocratic regime based around some fight cult, where the most physically strong challenger becomes king. So when Killmonger wins fair and square they all are shocked, but they only have themselves to blame for the shitty system they have in place.
The best thing about the movie was that the female characters were great, which is similar to Luke Cage where I also found the female supporting characters more compelling than the male lead.

Finally got round to watching it. Great stuff.
Very glad they kept the whole story focused on Wakanda (which is so well visaulised/realised). Was expecting it to end up in usual "baddy threatens New York!" style of superhero showdown. Make sure there's some white people in trouble so we know this is an *important* threat. But no; it's its own self-contained world and story. Great villian with a totally sympathetic goal (it's Wallace from the wire!) Great roles for women. Great looks (apart from some poorly animated cgi n the final fight).
Martin Freeman is not American and should not be cast as one.

I tried. Despite it being obviously another CGI fest. But I got bored half way through and couldn't work out what the story was about amid all the exhaustive action scenes. And yeah, Martin Freeman's accent was off putting.

What's wrong with that? I mean there are no pop-up artisan gin bars in that frame but other than that it could easily be London.

It looks totally different to London, the street has no road markings and the architecture looks American. It's actually in Atlanta, I looked it up.

And Chadwick Boseman isn't a real king, and has no superpowers at all.
I also heard that not a single scene was actually shot in Wakanda.

The point is, why bother dressing up a shot with a London ambulance and fake UK car registration plates on vehicles only to shoot it on a street scene which looks so obviously un-British.
