The fact that you still havent figured out that I was making fun of the angry militant SJW left that feels like they have to protect this movies online ratings with that post means you've already taken the L before your simple ass got worked up by something you cant even understand
Get off the weed bro, shits ruining your cognitive skills

Lol this Facebook group Christians against black panther is hilarious and sad

 

[KrazyKanadian]

100%? That seems a little ridiculous, though I do hope the movie is at least good.

 

[HunterAcosta]

I hope this pans out well. The Black Panther that was in the new run of Aquaman was a pretty interesting character. A man of royal blood who uses passed down technology to protect his African kingdom. He isn't just a super hero but a politician and king as well. Aquaman himself is pretty interesting himself as a superhero that everyone thinks is a joke but is actually one of the more powerful ones.

Youre thinking of Sub Mariner, marvels answer to aquaman.

Who gave the negative review?

This is considered a negative review:

Black Panther first review: 'It is expected to stand for something bigger than itself - the strain is visible'
3 stars


For better or worse, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s latest instalment is no mere superhero movie.


Fourteen months into the Trump presidency, Black Panther arrives on storm-clouds of hype and with the presumption that, as the first African-set Marvel movie, it will deliver a resounding high-kick to prejudice and decades of hierarchy, racial and otherwise, in blockbuster cinema. It is expected to stand for something bigger than itself.

The strain is visible, especially in the performance of Chadwick Boseman as Prince T’Challa – the eponymous Black Panther. In the context of the place United States finds itself today, and where it has come from, Boseman knows he can’t wise-crack his way through the film in the fashion of, for example, Robert Downey Jr’s Tony Stark, and the responsibility to be at all times sincere weighs on him.

T’Challa’s father, King T’Chaka, was assassinated at the start of Captain America; Civil War and, as Black Panther begins, the prince is about to ascend to the throne. Under his dominion is Wakanda, a hidden “Afro-futurist” nation at the heart of the Continent which can exist apart from the rest of the world thanks to its endless reserves of the superpower mineral,“Vibranium”.


In the wrong hands, the substance could be turned into a force for destruction – hands such as those of evil South African Ulysses Klaue (Andy Serkis, exuding a gleeful hamminess the movie could do with more of).

Abetting Klaue in his Vibranium-hunting is Michael B Jordan’s “Killmonger”, a mysterious assassin whose fascination with Wakanda is violently personal.

Also in the mix is Martin Freeman as a buffoonish FBI agent Everett Ross while back at Wakanda the cast if filled out by Lupita Nyong'o as top spy / T’Challa’s love interest, Angela Bassett as his mother and Get Out’s Daniel Kaluuya as T’Challa’s best friend, W’Kabi.

A neon-splashed early chase sequence in Korea is in the tradition of Marvel's best action scenes – as with justly praised airport slug-out in Civil War it goes on forever and is confidently marshalled by director Ryan Coogler in his first excursion into popcorn filmmaking.

Handled with a similar bombastic flair is T’Challa’s violent coronation, in which he must defeat mountain tribe leader M’Baku (Winston Duke) in single combat – a biff-fest that recalls Coogler’s previous movie, Rocky sequel Creed .

But from here Black Panther spirals into a stodgy tale of internecine feuding, in which T’Challa is required to come to terms with the sins of past generations.

What he doesn't get to do much of is jump around beating-up bad guys. That’s a shame. Marvel has finally given us an African superhero. The hope surely was that he would be allowed do superhoeroic things.



Three Stars

didn't RT vow to go after critics if they gave B.P. a negative review? Terrible.

I don't think so. Got a link?

I think Fatt Hughes misunderstood the situation. RT was going after the DC fanboy trolls (read their manifesto below).

Update: February 1, 2018

Rotten Tomatoes Denounces Group Taking Aim at BLACK PANTHER Audience Score

Rotten Tomatoes has denounced a Facebook group attempting to flood its site with poor audience scores for Disney and Marvel Studios' upcoming superhero pic Black Panther.

The film, opening in theaters Feb. 16, is a bold move by Marvel and Disney in featuring a virtually all-black cast. The movie is generating keen interest, with one major tracking service predicting a $130 million-plus domestic debut. Other box-office observers believe that number could even climb to $150 million.

"We at Rotten Tomatoes are proud to have become a platform for passionate fans to debate and discuss entertainment and we take that responsibility seriously. While we respect our fans’ diverse opinions, we do not condone hate speech. Our team of security, network and social experts continue to closely monitor our platforms and any users who engage in such activities will be blocked from our site and their comments removed as quickly as possible," the company said in a statement issued Thursday.

The Facebook group goes by the name "Down with Disney's Treatment of Franchises and its Fanboys." In recent days, the group created the event, "Give Black Panther a Rotten Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes," that drew 3,700 participants. In December, the same group claimed it waged a campaign to flood Rotten Tomatoes with poor reviews of Disney and Lucasfilm's Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The group makes unsubstantiated claims that Disney somehow manipulated the press into creating negative buzz for Warner Bros.' DC movies, and says it is waging the Black Panther campaign in response.

Not long after Rotten Tomatoes issued its statement, the group's Facebook page was no longer available and appeared to have been deactivated. Facebook could not immediately be reached for comment. After the deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in summer 2017, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg vowed to curb hate speech on his social media platform.

buddy of mine that reviews movies--and is anything but an "SJW" says it's one of Marvels best, rivaled by maybe 1 or 2.

I just dont get how folks think that this movie cannot deserve 100% Fresh rating, which is literally just people giving it a thumbs up or thumbs down. Movies speak to culture, and having the finger on a pulse makes a movie more relatable assuming it's well filmed. I wont be seeing it until week, but I imagine it'll be good, despite my own lack of interest in critical race theory and what not.

Because the people that like to run around calling people snowflakes and SJWs are turning into the biggest bunch of snowflakes of them all.

What have Christians got against Black Panther? I could understand them getting their Jimmies Rustled over Harry Potter, Star Wars or even Thor. But what has Wakanda ever done to them?

Legit lost. You win the Internet today, my friend<45>

Everyone I’ve talked to at my church is pretty excited for this.

The groups mission statement is a little vague, but does start off with welcoming all fellow followers of the Lord, Our savior Jesus Christ!

But after is when it gets a bit confusing. The group mentions the people behind the movie being the “Liberal Mega Propaganda Machine,” and says the movie is racists because it promotes the Black Panther Party, a revolutionary socialist organization founded by Bobby Seale and Huey Newton.

One thing I'm not too fond of is T'Challa's vibranium suit. I don't like how bullets just bounce off of him like he's invulnerable. I get it that it makes sense he incorporates Vibranium to his suit, I just don't like the way it comes across. Why the need to jump around, evade and do some fancy martial arts when there's no danger involved. Basically he's like Luke Cage (boring) in the suit. I just wish they made the suit similar like Kevlar (but tougher) where the wearer still feels the brunt of the force of the impact.

I see your point but am not too fussed about that as I see it like Captain America with his shield. When Cap has his shield he is pretty much invulnerable too to things like bullets. No one seems to know to go for his legs even when they have a mini gun firing at him. Every shot will hit the shield anyway.

What I do think is selfish though is that, at a minimum every Wakanda fighter should get the equivalent of a vibranium flack jacket. I mean why would you not do that for those laying down their lives for you?

Most people don't want to see messages propagated through mass media unless it's something they can get behind or which echoes their own sentiments. Nothing new, they're just more vocal about due to technology giving them a larger outlet for their vitriol and insecurities.

Ya but the problem then is that you become the flipside to the SJW coin.

Most people are taking the movie seriously and commenting on its merits. SJW's and others with your view are so caught up in that mindset that you cannot.

It's so funny how much those two groups have in common. I cringe and chuckle every time ignorant people from the far right claim "sjw's" and "liberals" are leftists.



They're both a bunch of whiny bitches.

 

[D3THRONED]

stoked for the movie but I definitely know this isn't worth a 100% fresh. RT isn't credible with critic reviews, the user reviews are actually more accurate. the whole rigging reviews is a bullshit excuse because the audience thought the movie sucked. the best indication of this was the last jedi, a terrible film that got 90+% on RT but the sane majority of fans gave it a well deserved 49%. I'll reserve judgement til I see it.
