| PC Marches On In Hollywood With Marvel's 'Black Panther' Movie |
| 2018-02-08 |
| Short summary - movie 'critics' (who are all effete kale-eating leftists) love this movie, which seems to shove more leftism down our throats. How'd that work out with the unfunny broads in that Ghostbusters reboot? This tells me the box office haul's gonna suck big, hairy donkey balls. Just get a load of some of this vomit-inducing lapdog praise: [HollywoodReporter] The future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is in Wakanda. Reviews are in for Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther, and they are easily the best for a Marvel Studios project to date, with almost everyone left in awe not only of the movie’s ambition, but its success in achieving that ambition on the big screen. As of Wednesday evening, the film has a 99 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes with just one "rotten" review out of 76. "There's no mistaking you're still in the Marvel universe here, but this entry sweeps you off to a part of it you've never seen: a hidden lost world in Africa defined by royal traditions and technological wonders that open up refreshing new dramatic, visual and casting possibilities," writes The Hollywood Reporter’s Todd McCarthy in his review. "There are vistas, costumes and settings that keep the images popping off the screen, even though this Marvel offering is not in 3D." "It’s as if everyone enlisted to bring the project to life understood the magnitude of what Black Panther, the first comic-based studio movie with a black hero at the center since 1998’s Blade, would represent," critic and writer Marc Bernardin wrote for Nerdist. "The chance to fill every corner of their fictional Wakanda with the same level of craft and detail usually reserved for British-star-studded period pieces. An opportunity to tell a story about black lives, which matter and are not defined by their pain but, instead, by their glory. An answer to a culture’s question, ’When will it be our time in the sun?’" |

| #16 Point of order: Isn't Black Panther a Americas/New World species/term? If we are Africa, should we not be Black Leopard or something? And boy we hit the clichés. Gal with afro - check, gal with shaved head - check, gal with African chapeau or hair style - check. What are we missing? Richard Roundtree as the elder king? This isn't honorary or even inclusive, this is Undercover Brother for comic books. |

| #15 Blacks in America have been told for generations that Africa would have been the greatest continent, greatest technology etc, if it hadn't been for the whites. They fully believe this, and now that the Egyptians have repeatedly popped their bubble about building the pyramids etc, they needed a new...seed for their delusions. None of the actual Africans I have worked with have had this illusion. They often hold American blacks in total comtempt at squandering their fortune to be born American. They don't like socializing with them at all either. |

| #14 "a hidden lost world in Africa defined by royal traditions and technological wonders" One has to wonder why they don't use those technological wonders to improve the lives of Africans. But of course Black Panther is a King or something and the nations treasury is his own personal trust fund to spend at will, at least that part is believable. |

| #13 Raj, I liked Blade because the world building, it was a refreshing take on how things might go if Vampires were real. |

| #12 Cultural affirmation for the urban mobs. Laura Ingalls Wilder is so yesterday. |

| #11 In other words, a fantasy. Ah, so mom will be able to go to the basement for some cleaning while the target audience is at the movies. |

| #8 The political babblings of many of the superhero movie actors are even more noxious than the garden variety Hollywood actor |

| #7 It looks like a blacksploitation film with a big sci-fi special effects budget. IronShaft? |

| #6 Unfortunately it doesn't take much to stir up the pot smoking BLM types. And Bollywood is over ripe for this kind of rot. (Apologies to Bollywood, I meant Hollywood.) |

| #5 When they have to lie about it that hard, you know it will probably be sheit. Now it is easy to tell what not to see if the left kook lobotomized parrots like it. |

| #4 One other thing - there are few movies in the 95% - 100% Rotten Tomatoes score. Check them out here. I can't believe they're trying to compare this very potential box office trainwreck with Citizen Kane, The Godfather, etc. Even Terminator 2 got 93% or 95%. It's a sick kale-fueled joke. |

| #3 I liked Blade because I think Wesley Snipes is a good actor. I don't dig the whole vampire thing, though. In contrast, these assholes are trying to sell you something other than a solid actor(s), interesting plot and / or great action, and that substitute is leftism shoved down our throats one more time. This is also evident in the comments section - the comments 'awaiting moderation' (i.e., not shown unless you click on them) are all critical of the movie, mostly from the political angle. I hope they lose at least $50 million from this one. |

| #2 Is it true that Rotten Tomatoes does not allow any negative reviews of it - because negative reviews would be 'racist'? No wonder it received 100%. |
