I guess I never paused to consider the rating. I do tend to like the edginess of R-rated movies more.
Good catch! I would have never made that connection. I can't say I recognized any actors from the movie besides Rami Malek and Mike Meyers. I like it when movies don't have to rely on big star power and give lesser known actors a chance. I'm always on the side of the underdog. I wrote on Facebook my 7 rating and my cousin is giving me a hard time about it. She and another friend of mine are saying it was "awesome" and "fabulous." One recent biographical movie I liked much more is I Tonya. What can I say, I like what I like. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Investors don't like R rated movies. But if it was an indie film it might have taken more on. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

After a couple years he left the project over creative differences with the band members who had final say. Sasha was going to portray the actual very very wild lifestyle Mercury lived. He also wanted the part where Freddie dies and how the band got on afterwards. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25013 | Black Panther on Nflix. 45 min in, I was falling asleep it was soooo boring. And why are all the black people green in their home country. Bad acting, slow plot, hardly any action, I shut if off. This review sums it up: I had a free rental on FandangoNow so my wife and I decided to watch it. At the end she turned to me and said OMG that movie was so boring, I'm glad we didn't pay for it. I just laughed and said "And this is why I didn't want to pay money to see it in the theatre." I'm gonna just say it, Black Panther SUCKED! This movie was utter garbage. The accents were awful and a total insult to Africans. The storyline was so boring it made for a very long 2 hours. Terrible, terrible movie! If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I hate to somewhat agree with EB, but the beginning of Black Panther is boring. It gets better in the 2nd half. But overall it’s just an average Marvel movie, not really worthy of the huge success. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

The acting was just awful. And the story was insulting. A tribe of black/green people are so tech advanced that they can keep it all hidden from the world, and still have plates in their bottom lips and carry spears and dance around in native costumes all the time. And their accents were so weird I could barely understand the words. Forest Whitacker was the only actor I knew, the others were like extras they gave lines to. On Rotten Tomatoes alone there are 300 pages (PAGES) of reviews like this: At best it is a movie made with 90% green screen sequences but in reality it is a discombobulated mash of garbage that takes way too long to develop any story whatsoever and that storyline is as thin and weak as a nightclub whiskey, left stale overnight and re-poured. The hype is over-rated movie is ultimately disappointing. May appeal to Millennials who exist without a functioning braincell. Yet the pro critics on RT gave it 97% because they're terrified of being non PC and insulting the black/green community. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Rotten Tomatoes user reviews mean less than nothing, ESPECIALLY with Marvel/Disney movies. Looks like you fell for some fake news reviews. 'Black Panther' Targeted By Alt-Right Trolls Who Also Tried to Tank 'Last Jedi' “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |
