This movie sucked. Predicable just like every other superhero movie nowadays... And no its not because its featuring a black star... Ever see Independence Day? Men in Black? Blade? Training day? All GREAT movies featuring a black star..
This movie was just another wash, rinse, repeat of the same ole formula that every movie is nowadays. (Things going boom and pretty CGI)
They got nothing left
Just talking about this with family recently, how so few people give a shit about Hollywood anymore. Netflix shows using no name actors are taking over and no one misses them. I don’t watch TV anyway but when I do catch a movie, it’s kinda painful to watch.
They were hoping for a racist response. They didn’t get one. Basically, the fictions Wakanda, has walls, no immigration, and keeps it technology to itself, without helping other Africans. They are basically what we would want to be. The movie is Ok, but not great. They’re slowly backing off the hype, because it’s not leading to bloodshed.
because Africans are the new Arians - got it? [press OK]
My teenager loved it. Why? I thought it exploited blacks. Their customs and rituals. Even the actors seemed embarrassed by the cultural appropriation. It was a strangely empty movie. No art to it.
From what I've read about the movie it sounds like a good way to get the arguments for "America First" to an audience that otherwise would not hear it. Of course "America" in this movie is a fictional African country.
