All top notch movies. Comparing domestic BO results is a good indicator of the movie's quality. I disagree. You listed the TOP FIVE grossing movies which I personally agree are top notch. I could now counter you with ten times that amount of movies that were box office successes that were just... dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do NOT believe that movie is top notch at all. Quality production, yes, but a recycled story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larryw7 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 INFINITY WAR should have gotten the nod if they were going to nominate a superhero movie. BP is good,but not great. Mr Sneeze and theCapraAegagrus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Panther is just a another rehash of the first Iron Man. Infinity War is a unique concept, even in comparison to its prequel Avengers films.

Red84 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Black Panther is nowhere near close to being an Oscar worthy movie. It's good, but it's not that good. Logan was Oscar worthy but didn't get the nod last year. kimik, theCapraAegagrus, aardvark88 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiamondCityComics Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Thought it was real good like many of the other comic movies. I feel there's a big reason why it got the headlines it did but I'm not going there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
▫️ Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Honestly, I don't think there has ever been a comic book movie that deserves an Oscar win for Best Picture. Not even Dark Knight but it did deserve a nomination at least in that category. I'm just being real, I love comic book movies but they do not stack up against films of consequence that evoke thought and emotion. I don't agree with the Best Picture choice every year but even my last choice is usually better than my favorite comic book movies. Of course the Best Pictures may not be as re-watchable or loved but there is no denying that comic movies don't hold a candle to films that deserve the distinction and honor of being considered the best the year has to offer. Are we really going to put Black Panther in the same league as Platoon, Unforgiven, Shindler's List, Million Dollar Baby or The Departed? (And I only listed modern Best Pictures for my comparison). I loved Black Panther but it was not gut wrenching or emotional or thought provoking at all. I think I felt hollow for days after seeing Million Dollar Baby. After Black Panther, my kids looked at me and said, "That was pretty cool." And it was. Just like most of them are.

Ken Aldred Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) Too much hype. Well directed, one of the better villains, okay storyline, patchy CGI. Interesting social comments, but still basically adherent to the Marvel Studios formula underneath.

zuckuss2003 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 IMHO Black Panther is definitely deserving of a nomination. No chance at being the winner. I also feel it was a much better overall movie than Infinity War. Marwai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was getting tired of that headline after a few weeks. But it is Black Panther after all...and a dang good movie. Being nominated is great but I'm on the side of "why this movie"? Why not any other super hero movie prior?. I honestly believe the topic mentioned above has a lot to do with it. But that's just my opinion. theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artboy99 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) there were to many things wrong with the story for it to win best picture. Example: It is ridiculous that a society so technologically advanced determines the leader of the "tribe" with a fight in cave-man fashion. Totally absurd. Maybe the USA would like to adopt this and have the next Presidential candidates suit up in boxing attire and step into the ring. "Winner by knock out and STILL President of the United States...!"
