So Black Panther is fine. People are seriously talking about it as a possible Best Picture nominee/winner?

The Academy was considering adding a Popular Movie category this year and Black Panther was a shoe-in but now there's some controversy and they won't have that category this year I doubt it's going to be a contender for Best Picture but who knows I could see Michael B. Jordan getting a nomination for Best Supporting Actor but that's about it

The movie is important in that it’s pretty much the first major Hollywood superhero blockbuster directed by a black dude and a 99% black cast. Aside from the performance by Jordan, everything about it is average superhero fare.

I remember the only negative review on RT said that the movie had too much talking and not enough of Black Panther beating up baddies. The review obviously caught a poo poo-storm from everyone, but I completely agreed with it.

My favorite scene in black panther is the climax when two non textured cgi characters do backflips in an empty black void for a while.

Why not cut to the chase and admit it’s the first marvel movie with a black director and cast?

Black Panther had about 5 good movies you could have made out of what they stuffed into it. I wish they'd just picked one and given it the time to breathe, because there was lots of good there.

It's also a not true because after looking through the photos of the actors on imbd, it's only about 82% black and white that's counting all the people without photos as black.

Speaking of black superheroes, I watched Spawn a couple months ago and it has maybe the worst CGI I've ever seen

I remember seeing Spawn in theaters when it came out, and watching half-hour behind the scenes previews about it on Sci-Fi channel. Spawn was like, an effects movie at the time of its release. If I remember correctly the director was like, one of the cgi guys who worked on Jurassic Park or something.

Even back when it came out I thought it looked bad. I wish more movies took the Jurassic Park route of using practical effects whenever possible and using CGI for the impossible. I think the effects will hold up in JP beyond any of these marvel movies that basically look like really detailed cartoons.

Yeah Spawn was bizarrely bad even when it was new. It's like the anti-Mortal Kombat. Like hey I love me some 90s John Leguizamo but the Clown is not exactly as good a role as Spider Mike.

I'd argue one of the most egregious things about Spawn is actually its insane-rear end editing. Its borderline incoherent from scene-to-scene for a good portion of its runtime. I have never seen so many flaming transition wipes.

Wasn't the reason the hell stuff looked so atrocious was because the effects studio that got the job for that stuff didn't know what they were doing and handed in terrible looking work they had to cut around and redo to even make it halfway serviceable?

Re: Full Metal Jacket. If you're going to watch it (again) read this short book first. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25783307-mcnamara-s-follyquote:On the day in 1967 when Hamilton Gregory reported to a Tennessee induction center to begin his service in the U.S. Army, a sergeant presented him to another young man who was also headed to Fort Benning, Georgia, to start basic training. The other new soldier’s name was Johnny Gupton, or so Gregory calls him. “I want you to take charge of Gupton,” the sergeant told Gregory. Before they boarded the bus to the airport, the sergeant handed Gregory Gupton’s paperwork along with his own, to carry on the trip. quote:Joe Galloway, a war correspondent who won a Bronze Star with V in Vietnam for carrying wounded men to safety at the battle of Ia Drang, wrote a column shortly after McNamara died. Entitled 100,000 Reasons to Shed No Tears for McNamara he wrote that Project 100,000 men were, "to put it bluntly, mentally deficient. Illiterate. Mostly black and redneck whites, hailing from the mean big city ghettos and the remote Appalachian valleys."

Nihonniboku posted:SO EDGY Haha I actually love Black Panther. It's in my top five movies of the year. It was a different experience seeing black people act authentically black in a superhero movie. As a black man I give it a 10 out of 10. With that said, it was still just a movie about some dudes punching some other dudes while some ladies threw hands at some other ladies and a white dude ran around terrified of all the Black Excellence. Also rhinos for pets who also gently caress poo poo up. E: My review score has been adjusted due to rhinos. It's now a full 11/10.

I just about turned the movie off when the coup or civil war or whatever was 100 idiots wearing red and blue punching each other in an empty field. And every interior was an ultramodern nightmare, like they filmed exclusively in the loft apartments of Scandinavian millionaires. Anything having to do with vibranium tech was completely generic sci-fi chrome nonsense. Just a complete lack of visual imagination in the cinematography and production design. The movie also had some serious script problems -- just awful dialogue, particularly in constant, unnecessary cuts to people commenting or reacting to action.

Killmonger and The Vulture are the only villains in the MCU that actually have legitimate gripes that can be sympathized with. Everybody else are just cackling madmen who wanna Destroy Da World. Meanwhile Killmonger making a good point on the topic of rich people and how much they suck and should die. And The Vulture is making a less extreme point of "gently caress rich people. Steal their property." I'm on board with these guys.
