Puts it at # 4 on the all-time inflation-adjusted chart for a Sunday. After only: The Avengers The Force Awakens Jurassic World More people saw Black Panther on its first Sunday than folks saw The Dark Knight on its first Sunday.

Bosco685 Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 I heard this NPR 'All Things Considered today about Black Panther, and the larger impact it is going to have on big screen productions. 'Black Panther' Success Proves That Movies With Black Actors Can Do Well Internationally Short but worth a listen what a comic book movie is delivering beyond the hobby.

spidrvacc Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) Saw it over weekend, thought it was really good. Alot of fun . Not the best Marvel movie like some of the reviewers etc are saying but probally right behind the top ones for me (Avengers , iron Man , Clvil War, and Winter Solider) , But again was alot of fun and a good movie and would recommend . All I can ask for when I see a movie. Edited February 20, 2018 by spidrvacc Azkaban 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norrin_Radd Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I saw it on Saturday with friends. Everyone enjoyed it. There was a long line to get in 30 minutes before screen time and everyone clapped when the movie ended. I've missed most of the Marvel superhero movies that have come out in the last two years, but definitely glad I saw this one in the theater.

chezmtghut Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 As soon as M'Baku praised Hanuman, I knew it would crush at the box office. It wasn't the best Marvel movie by any means, but definitely another milestone. I thought Justice League was a more exciting story but Disney just presents their Marvel films better than WB has been doing with DC. Can't wait for Infinity War.

Rip Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) I enjoyed it a lot. I say a very happy 85%. Not in the top tear of Superhero movies, but no where near the worst either. Very much liked the Black Panther and the Killmonger. I liked the art direction. I liked the positive messages without feeling preachy. On the downside, had some bad humor, some really bad Road Runner type crash/explosions (driver still holding steering wheel but car was totally destroyed) and an above average amount of bad CGC/Compositing.

Gatsby77 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Tried to go see it last night in DC but shows were still sold out 2 hours/4 showings ahead of time. comic_memories 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsylockeSmythe Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Saw this yesterday afternoon with my Mom, Dad and Wife. My dad thought it was just ok; my Mom who knows nothing about the character; liked it and so did my wife. I thought that they did a good job with the story and liked it a whole lot better then the latest Thor movie. Psy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aweandlorder Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Last night at my LCS a lady walked in with her (i assume) 2 sons and was asking the owner if he had "the Black Panther book". Garry showed her to some comics he had but she seemed very confused, she was under the impression that this was a book. This got me to think that most people who dont know the character and just heard about him through the movie probably think that this is based on a book ala Harry Potter. I would think that it would probably be a good idea for Marvel to adapt the movie to a graphic novel. No brainer ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when DC released Batman, Batman Returns etc when they came out and they were always slightly different to the movies which was interesting to read and compare to the movies.

Gatsby77 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I actually want to order the Black Panther Epic Collection: Panther's Rage. It collects FF 52-53 and Jungle Action 6-24. Jungle Action # 6 is the first appearance of Killmonger, and apparently notes that he grew up in Harlem (vs. Oakland in the movie) and that he holds a doctorate in engineering from MIT.

Even though I'm aware of a few black panther tpb (BP essential comes to mind) I'm sure that there are other fans of the movie that are seeking a book instead of a tpb collecting various comics. In their mind this probably seems like a movie based on a self contained story. And to not have a book ready to pick up is a HUGE missed opportunity. Hopefuly they're working on one soon ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComicConnoisseur Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I happy to report Black Panther is in my top three modern superheroes movie of all-time. Awesome picture. It's up there with Logan and Deadpool. I will have a full review over the weekend. oh yes we must have a Black Panther 2.
