Marvel has the strongest brand in movies, along with Pixar. People are excited to see what they do next, regardless of how connected it is to other movies.
Black Panther was bad-ass in Civil War, so even folks who didn't know or care about the character could be excited to see a whole movie about him and his world.
The trailers look great.
The viewers who have seen it say it's great.
The reviewers who have seen it have said it's great.
It's not like a movie had to have a huge MCU character to be big. GOTG, as noted above, is the perfect example.
Now, I can understand if none of that convinces you to be excited. But to deny that other people can/should be excited is just plain weird.
I saw it last night, it lives up to the hype. Solid acting all the way around and a coherent, tight story.
Loved the female leads. Letitia Wright stole every scene with Boseman and Freeman. Lupita Nyong’o has tremendous charisma. And Danai Gurira brought depth to a character that could have been one dimensional.
The film was visually stunning. And that kid from the Wire was a great villain.
How Howard Stark got the Vibranium to make Captain America’s shield?
good question
in Captain America Howard Stark does say that the shield is all the vibranium the US had ... so perhaps some of it slipped out of wakanda
Very, very good. Probably the best comic book superhero movie I've seen besides the Dark Knight. I think it's being slightly over-hyped because art criticism now takes into account whether a piece of art advances a certain worldview and set of politics, but I still think it's pretty great. Definitely recommend. (I do have one or two minor nits. 1. Michael B. Jordan over-acted in the first half hour / hour of the movie. 2. One of the plot twists seemed a bit over the top for me, but w/e, I'm not one of those Star Wars fanboys.)
Personally I liked it 3rd, only behind the first Thor and Wonder Woman. I liked the woman actors (especially Wright), Jordan, and Boseman (who I think is a really good actor). I've liked him in everything I've seen. The one actor I did't like is Kaluuya, the guy from Get Out. He seems to be the same character each time.
All in all a must see. My only criticism, if it is one, is the over-hype.

I’d watch Michael B. Jordan in anything. He was fantastic in this movie. As was Bozeman.
Visual FX were amazing. Actors and actresses were all well cast and compelling. Storyline was very interesting.
The scenes in South Korea really came off well.
Guardians Vol. 1 is still my favorite MCU movie, but this is definitely one of the best in the genre.
I had no idea what that meant, too.

Black Panther - ( New Window )
