'Black Panther' loses its 100% Rotten Tomatoes score - Irish Independent's Ed Power scores it 3/5, "rotten".

[Arse Biscuit]

Having seen the trailer on youtube, I have officially shat in my pants laughing.

"Well done, my king."

It's a self-parody. It's clear that the producers were blatantly taking the piss.

 

[UnKillFill]

I mean, I agree with him on this one too, but certainly not skull island or assassin's Creed.

Kinda respect the guy for atleast giving sounds reasons for his opinion though

I wasn't saying I disagreed (or even agreed) with his opinion... I do believe he makes his case rather well, but surely it is an opinion that would likely piss off the same social justards pissed off with opinion on black panther.

 

[Dysnomia]

Didn't work for Soul Plane or BeBe's kids.

Bebe's Kids was supposed to be live action but Robin Harris died suddenly and the whole thing was scrapped for a an animated version with Faizon Love doing Robin's voice two years later. I don't think filming ever actually started. Honestly, there's no way executive meddling wouldn't have ruined this in the first place. Part of the problem with the film is that it's adapted from a very family unfriendly comedy skit and ended up watered down. The movie is missing a huge chunk of the skit because they could only use whatever wouldn't get soccer moms' panties in too much of a twist. Thank the Lord it was animated though. Can you imagine?

Soul Plane was awful. It's like they were trying to make Black Airplane but they just fell really really short. The cast was awful and the jokes were terrible. The opening scene with the pets flying out of the cargo hold and into the engines just make me feel ill. It wasn't funny at all. Just bad taste.

But just because a film is majority black cast doesn't make it invulnerable to bad reviews or that bad reviews=racism.

But we are in the current year.

This is a really stupid thing to get worked up over. But After Lady Bird I guess it's becoming a trend. People are going to sperg over Rotten Tomatoes scores more and more. Just watch whatever movies you like and stop worrying about things like reviews, scores and awards. It means nothing really.

Black Dynamite seems to work pretty great too. Still one of the best parody films to date and makes a great mockery of the power fantasy genre while still being a good movie in its own right

But just because a film is majority black cast doesn't make it invulnerable to bad reviews or that bad reviews=racism.

Remember when everyone was worked up over Gods of Egypt having a mostly white cast and laughing over its failure? If they remade it with a cast of POCs, with the same script and everything, it'd have been mocked even worse.

And this just occured to me: How long before someone gets it in their head that Black Panther isn't woke enough because the cast isn't made up exclusively of Africans i.e. non African Americans?

 

[CWCissey]

Why are these niggers salty that Ed Power gave Skull Island a good review? That film was fucking awesome!

 

[Jaimas]

Isn't Shaft basically a super hero? Everyone loves that movie.

I can dig it.

 

[Chefbot]

Someone leaked the entire movie on youtube. I'd say the positive reviews were justified.https://youtube.com/watch?v=KEoGrbKAyKE

Who Killed Captain Alex?, despite its 200 dollar budget had effort put into it. Black Panther is just another film in an oversaturated franchise.

 

[AnAspieWithAVengeance]

I'm tempted to start an archive of sorts of the most cringe worthy dumbest tweets ever posted, so that one day, I can walk into Congress, and present viable evidence to ban Twitter forever.

Actually that was even fucking funnier, people screeched about the lead being "Some white dude" and he was actually born in fucking Egypt.

Also, don't be daft on that one. It's not about race in the rest of the world but about race in America and America alone. Idiot libs are poisoning a whole well on the idea of community cohesion and races quietly living together. These people are outright modern segregationists but pretending "POC-Only" spaces aren't somehow hideously racist.

EDIT: That's why the response to the upcoming Confederate by HBO from the guys who gave us Game of Thrones was some idiot coming up with taking a bunch of white, southern states and turning them into some "Black Supa powa" state as a 'woke' drama.

[Tlazolli]

The whole segregationist ideas SJWs have about race fall apart as soon as you bring up Latinos, because they are mixed race and even the brownest Latina mother can end up birthing a white baby. This shit is confusing as fuck to White Liberals.

What's funny is that if read between the lines of Keller and Power's reviews, it's not that hard to see why they didn't like it. They both bring up the same issues: run time drags, the middle is bogged down by a dialogue/exposition-heavy drama regarding Wakanda's politics, the action sets are fun to look at but separated by aforementioned throne drama, the actor who plays T'Challa does a good job but is held back by the task of "elevating the superhero genre" and the throne drama so he isn't allowed to be the kind of quip-machines people have come to expect of Marvel characters, and that the movie itself can't seem to decide if it wants to be super cereal or a fun popcorn flick and the scenes feel disjointed as a result. Those are mild but not exactly uncommon criticisms to have, they aren't even uncommon criticisms to have about Marvel movies as of late.

But no Black Panther goes down 2 whole percent and suddenly it's a conspiracy by the evil embittered whitey to ruin the movie and inflict violence on defenseless black people everywhere with fraudulent reviews and RT needs to censor/ban these subversives; not for any actual racism, but because their opinions conflict with their vision of Black Panther being this perfect untouchable "woke" film sticking it to Trump.

I'm sure they could've just copied Blade and replaced "Blade" with "Black Panther" and "Vampires" with "Bad Dudes" and no one would be the wiser. People are so stupid these days they'll believe shit like George Lucas telling them Red Tails is the first all black movie ever made.

I think it's better to keep it as a containment site, and let Twitter become irrelevant, so it wouldn't have enough credibility to harm anyone or their livelihood ever again.

 

[AnOminous]

Soul Plane was awful. It's like they were trying to make Black Airplane but they just fell really really short.

To be fair, making a movie like Airplane is actually more difficult than it looks. You can watch it and see it as just throwing every imaginable joke against the wall to see what sticks, but despite the chaotic mess it is, it's still hilarious. If you've seen Leslie Nielsen in the otherwise forgettable serious movies he was in before, you will recognize that it's his deadpan delivery that makes these things work. He is in on the joke, but he acts like he isn't. (He sort of does what Margaret Dumont did in Marx Bros. films.)

The problem with a film like that is if you try to do it, you honestly won't know it sucks until you show it to an audience and they don't laugh.

 

[omori]

Did any of those assholes actually watch the movie before bashing that critic?

It's not even out in the states yet!

 

[Tragi-Chan]

I notice a lot of these rants against Mr Power are along the lines of, "An Irish critic said bad things about this movie! FUCK IRELAND!" Which seems pretty fucking racist to me. Kind of makes you wonder how woke they really are. Probably the sort of people who, in an earlier age, would be right at the front of the lynch mob. Probably the sort of people who use the situation in Israel as an excuse to hate Jews. What a bunch of hate-filled pricks.

TBH, I've not seen the film, but there's nothing about the trailers that really made me think it was anything special. I'm kind of reminded of the situation with Wonder Woman, which was a fun film but not particularly original, yet all the critics went on like it was the greatest event in cinema since The Great Train Robbery.
