In Nick’s defense, he doesn’t think the Departed is a good movie and he loves Daddy’s Home.

I don't understand how these giant comic movies don't have the best CGI.

This movie sacrificed some spectacle for some heart. The "stand up moment " from the action scenes was the emotion that invests you in a fight not soulless choreography. This movie isn't perfect but it sure is refreshing for this universe

I feel like they should have done their regular react to the movie now and then later when it came it's turn in the timeline, do the MCU in review for this movie. I don't like that they are adding this movie to the list out of order, especially cuz that decision might be influenced by the hype surrounding the movie's release. It would have been better to just come back it in a few months and see how they felt about the movie then

Definitely on the Andy/Kevin side here. Such a good movie

Killmonger one of the best main villains in the past couple of years

Thank god for Andy and Kev. I strongly disagree with how Kevin felt about the Last Jedi, but I can't believe how little the rest of the KF crew, Nick especially, didn't feel the impact of Black Panther. The film is incredible to me and I'm glad that Andy and Kev were there to sing its praises.

"I really enjoyed this part..." Nick: now lemme tell you why you're wrong.

One thing I've found out about Kinda Funny never trust their movie reviews to be honest they are weird when it comes to movies.

The way Nick talks about the 3rd act doesn’t make sense. If it was extended to the taking over of the cities then it would be criticized for being rushed due to the resolution. Also, with all the outrageous suits and abilities, now my favorite MCU characters are the basic humans and Cap/Bucky/BP. They can only do so much but are keeping up with the others because of brains Edit: also, I guess I’m just one of those people that who doesn’t really notice bad CGI unless it’s SyFy level because it never shook me

How can people say cap and black panther feel limited in their abilities but then turn around and praise batman.

The biggest thing I didn't like about the movie was how the answer to everything was Vibranium. Need power? Vibranium. Need to deflect bullets? Vibranium. Clothes? Vibranium. Car? Vibranium. Bulletproof glass? Vibranium. Can't have kids? Vibranium. I bet Nick could use Vibranium to win the Jackmanoff somehow.

Thank God it landed as high as it did. My jaw dropped when Nick ranked it that low initially. Still salty that Iron Man 3 didn't make it above 2

Gotta disagree with Nick on the Black Panther and Captain America feeling limited stuff. I actually think that provides a more relatable and grounded feel to those movies and makes for a nice breakaway from the Gods and Aliens part of the universe. Some of the best MCU movies have been in this vein (Cap 2, Guardians (No real superpowers in that movie) ) Wholeheartedly agree with Tim on the "No moment where I went Holy Shit this is awesome". But really like the movie as a whole. Great performances, great political concepts and ideas, cool world, characters and action. P.S. Really hated the Martin Freeman stuff. Elongated the movie unnecessarily and didn't really add anything to the plot.

Nick man... I feel like he needs to rewatch the movie again if he really thinks Hulk is better

Mbaku stole the show for me. Well done Winston duke

We should’ve stopped nick after the departed debate, he’s obviously not consuming movies like everyone else 😂

This movie wasn't fun???? Wow. These guys never cease to amaze me

Seeing this later tonight! Can’t wait!

I’ve stood with Nick for years, today is the day I must disagree with him. He’s coming off the heels of Ragnarok where I think that movie falls apart and becomes boring in the 3rd act. What’s confusing to me is that Nick is a fan of the Rocky movies and you can see BP is heavily influenced by Rocky 3. A king who was thrown off his throne who must fight back for it. BP currently sits at no.2 behind winter soldier in my eyes. But hey that’s just my opinion

My rankings thus far: 1. Avengers 2. Iron Man 3. Black Panther 4. Iron Man 3 5. Captain America 6. Thor 7. Iron Man 2 8. The Incredible Hulk

If not for Andy and Kevin, I would hate this video tbh, I love that they loved the movie

Black Panther was incredible, thank god for Kevin and Andy being there

Nick. Marvel movies are allowed to have a deeper message, be well acted and not be non stop action. They don’t all have to be Thor Ragnorok lol

Nick’s taste in movie is hilarious but to be fair taste is that, just opinions. If it’s not Iron Man or Thor it’s meh seemingly

This should have just been your regular review. To rank this movie so soon when you've rewatched all the other movies after they've been out for years and have had the hype for them die down just seems unfair to this one.

I saw this movie and i really liked it. I think chadwick did a good job it was very lion king and him being a simba type character i loved it. Score was dope, killmonger was cool. The first challenge scene had me engaged i thought it was great cool moves and the first killmonger fight was predictable but yo i have developed that emotional connection with t'challa where he felt bad for killmonger deep down he isnt a murder where killmonger is fighting to murder. This movie is great my favorite marvel movie. ANDY PAY ATTENTION WHEN KEV SIGNALS A HIGH FIVE. HE AGREED WITH YOU AND YOU GAVE A HORRIBLE HIGH FIVE YOU GET 1/10 FOR THAT SHIT. Lol

I completely disagree with Tim's take on the soundtrack. The scene where T'challa sees his dad in the incestral plane is so powerful and emotional.

Wakanda forever!

I really liked this movie a lot.. I especially loved the score and how when they play music for Black Panther it was traditional African drums and beats but with Michael B. Jordan it was a remixed more modern age beat. It really showed how the two worlds they grew up in were different and I just haven't really seen something like that in movies. Thanks for the review guys! Keep up the hard work.

Real quick tho. Tim when you get your hair done what do you ask for? 1 on the sides and back with a square taper? Just trying out new looks. Good review btw.

Shocked that the boys mostly thought it was just good, this was an amazing movie. 9/10. !

In this conversation, in some parts Nick sounds like he didn't watch the movie

I disagree completely on the “fighting an evil version of themselves.” Killmonger and T’challa are so dynamically different characters and Killmonger wanted to be King and become the black panther (one of his many motivations). So it makes since that he would have the same technology and suit because he won the challenge and became king through the actual process they set out. The two characters are so completely different BECAUSE what it means to be BLACK PANTHER and KING are entirely different things. Also I’m happy the weapons didn’t get to the streets. I’m tired of stupid scenes in every marvel movie of bystanders in New York or whatever metropolis running from explosions and some sort of soldiers/militia/aliens (you take your pick). The fights, conflict, and dialogue that took place in Wakanda in the third act felt like a great conclusion and resolution of a very nuanced and complicated situation to traverse. This movie was so great because unlike other boring super hero movies (I’ve skipped a lot of the MCU) this movie did a great job of portraying nuanced motivations and different sides butting heads that just doesn’t happen in the average Marvel movie conflict. I agree that there were moments where CG definitely was not as good as it should have been but watching at the Alamo I also kind of chalked that up to just the slight motion blur you always get in theaters. ESSENTIALLY I really think that the criticism of the pacing and that this movie did not provide experiences that other Marvel movies is completely wrong. I strongly prefer the character focused dynamics with amazing choreography, cinematography, and (most) visual effects. The way Black Panther fights and the entire part of the movie in South Korea was fantastic and completely different from you average Marvel fight that tends to be way too gun-shooty-shoot explodey slightly Michael Bay reminiscent scenes. The fighting styles, style of cinematography, and different styles of politics of each tribe consistently throughout the movie defined each character so well.

How does the movie stack up to the Marvel motion comics series from a few years ago?

Coming back to this review and bingeing these, I think this review is a good example of why they have five at the table. Obviously the movie is not gonna ring the same for everyone watching. Enjoyed it boys. Keep up the sexy work ;)

R.I.P. Chadwick Boseman. You were a wonderful Black Panther. Wakanda Forever. ✊🏿

I just saw it and I thought it was a great movie. I didn't read a single review because I already knew I was gonna see it. You guys certainly have more of a critical eye than me because at the end of the night, I couldn't find anything I objectively did not like about the movie except that the final fight wasn't a bit more epic. It was *different* but not epic enough for me. And I'm a young Black male, and for this movie that matters more than any other Marvel movie. I saw this movie (in 3D) with my sister, mom, and grandma who have never even watched a MCU and they all loved it as well. It doesn't surpass Civil War and Avengers for me, which are entirely different types of movies compared to Black Panther, but it's undoubtedly my 3rd favorite MCU movie. At the end of the day, I didn't go into Black Panther to critique it, I came in to enjoy it and I more than accomplished that.

Ta-Nehisi Coates’ take on black panther is really good for anyone who is interested and wants to read the comics

Disagree with you guys on a lot of things here, but I mean it's all subjective of course if something didn't work for you guys and really worked for me.

It's also strange how much more critical of this movie that they both apparently liked a lot Nick and Tim are, especially compared to some of the other (much worse) Marvel films

2020 checking in, I'm back because Andy's Impersonation of Black Panther is my current DND Characters Voice.

Now THAT is a good superhero movie.

That bury me in the ocean scene makes me tear up every time.

I always find their reviews kind of weird cuz they say “I didnt like this part or this part or this part...but I liked the movie” but they don’t talk about their likes nearly as much as their dislikes.

The cultural aspect in Black Panther is what really makes this movie so better. It was great to see the country of Wakanda and how advance it was while still maintaining its ancient cultures. I am with Nick that I was really interested in the political scene of Wakanda, but it did not hinder the movie experience. It enhanced it. Ryan Coogler was going for a message with this film and he hit with Chadwick Boseman and freaking nailed it with Michael B. Jordan. His character was a political statement. It was political, it was social and he was basically the embodiment of black rage that we have all felt at a point in our lives. His motivation was understandable and it really felt like it was a different spin off of Magneto's character. And it didn't just end with Black Panther rejecting him. He saw, to a point, what he was feeling and wanted to make a change, because he knew the past was wrong and they needed to make a better future. And seriously, Killmonger's line of "Just bury me in the ocean with my ancestors who jumped from ships, 'cause they knew death was better than bondage" nailed it! It brought it home. I loved this movie. Perhaps the best MCU movie out today. Even over Winter Soldier.

can't wait to watch this

I think the problem of the review is the challenge of separating the review from the reaction where other films require another viewing this is trying to keep fresh from the first viewing in the theater. I know the experience could be skewed from liking it more or less depending on the crowd in the theater (I think of Greg's Avengers experience) where as Nick says he typically enjoys these movies in the comfort of his home where he knows he can rewind or pause. I'm not saying any opinions are invalid I'm just recognizing the challenge that this movie proposes off of just one viewing. Great Show in any case guys!!!!

I really enjoyed this reacts/MCU in Review. Keep up the awesome work Kinda Funny!!! Also, Greg where did you get that Spider-Man shirt? I really want to get one :D Here is my new ranking so far: 1. Avengers 2. Ironman 3. ‎Black Panther 4. Ironman 2 5. Captain America: The First Avenger 6. ‎Ironman 3 7. Thor 8. Hulk I really liked this movie. Both the villains were awesome and the style was very good. The soundtrack was very unique and fit so well throughout. The tech was very creative and different even within the Universe. I also felt that the idea of him using just claws and not powerful weapons fit him trying to stay on the down low. I did feel that a lot of the action was not on par with the rest of the marvel movies and I wished we saw more on him being stealthy. Overall very solid but not my favorite of the later MCU movies. -Zanfare

I love your shirt Greg

Hey Nick, to your point at 9:00, BP does eventually get actual powers in the comics. He becomes the king of the dead, and is some sort of super shaman

Just saw Black Panther two more times now that it's on digital. I don't want to spend too much time griping about the rankings (which seem to get off the rails the further down the path we go with these), but would encourage the guys to give it another watch. I absolutely love this movie.

@KindaFunny will you guys be ranking the Netflix series by season after the 18 movies? Because Kingpin and Purple Man...

I'll allow Tim to pronounce leisure that way if he makes the phrase "...at your leisure and not feel pressure." a thing.

I definitely saw captain America: winter solider in black panther. erik kilmonger is hydra, and whats to use wakanda's (shield's) weapons for his bidding

Rewatched Black Panther last night. Kinda Funny, after two months and rewatching all the other MCU movies you should rewatch Black Panther. Might change your thoughts about it. Just like your guy’s’ opinion of a lot of the other movies changed.

gone for a month or so and Greg finally grew a beard, what a scary sight.

Siding with Kevin and Andy on this one. Black Panther, Iron Man, and Guardians 1 are my favs right now and I give Ant Man an honorable mention along with winter soldier!

What’s the bet that Infinity War will be sat at the top of this table once all is done and dusted. Also, pretty sure that Forest Whitaker’s son actually played young Forest Whitaker. Nice touch.

Kevin & Andy are right on. Great movie. p.s. if you want more Sterling K. Brown, watch This is Us. He's fantastic in it.

My absolute favorite line from the film..."Hey, Auntie."

I felt like what made this movie so great is that it has more than just great action and dialogue. It has an incredibly compelling storyline in Michael B. Jordan being abandoned and T'Challa being a new king and having to deal with this. Most Marvel movies don't have such a compelling story.

This is the first film I've agreed with KF in a super long time. A quality film that laid a great foundation and was thought provoking at times. Hats off to the cast, directors, and writers.

I just watched it. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I usually have lower expectations for new MCU movies as they are over hyped for me personally. Black Panther felt different and it's better than middle MCU movies like antman and doctor strange but not on the level of civil war or homecoming

The whole "freeze" scene Im sorry but I completely disagree. His "freeze" was more of a "I have a bullet proof suit... what are you going to do to me" kind of stance. He had that confidence and wasn't afraid

Just saw it and I loved it! I’m not like you guys though honestly the marvel movies usually bore me. I have only seen Guardians of Galaxy movies and I did see CA: civil war. I usually stick with only marvel shows but I loved Black Panther so much!! I was so immersed by Black Panther and I loved the story and everything about it. However, I’m not analyzing it like you guys. Good review :) !

Lmao what is Nick talking about. I can never trust his opinion on anything ever again.

Greg can't keep his hands off his beard now. He's been converted.

Turns out you can not think PB is a 10 out of 10 and still not be racist. Weird how that works. Half the people that love the movie wouldn't even be all up in arms about it if the initial reviews before most of the public got to actually see the movie, weren't so inflated. Great movie, I thought it was a bit long and parts did drag. I would have loved to spend some more time with the urban elements and a bit more grit. I'm glad it branched out a bit, but for this movie to deserve the hype they needed to take just another step in my opinion. Great chat about the film guys. I'm glad everyone's not on the same page. Keep up the good work.

Watching this minutes before I drive to the theater. Already chose to watch, just wanted the Kinda Funny crew's opinion. 👍

I love this series, but I think the rankings should have been done mathematically, rather than a simple majority. The list would offer a more well-rounded view of their opinions that way. I still love the show, and what they’re doing is a lot of fun. It’s enjoyable watching all of these movies again.

I feel like this is the exact reason people shouldn’t read reviews for movies before they see them. It will set inaccurate expectations and you will be disappointed. (*cough* Last Jedi *cough*). I did think the movie was very enjoyable and easily had one of the most developed marvel villains ever.

It feels like no one other than Andy and Kev knows how they really feel about this movie.

Loved the movie, especially M'Baku ... Only thing I didn't like was Claw's missing arm. The CG on the sleeve looked really bad.

When T'challa screams, "I am your king!"

I only clicked cause I saw Greg's Spider-Man PS4 shirt. God, I want that shirt.

I agree with Nick, the worst parts of the movie was anytime T'challa was in the suit. I left feeling just meh

I love Nick to death, but it just felt like he was nit picking.

I usually don’t like posting comments when I am in disagreements but I would have to disagree with Nick 100% I couldn’t disagree more with his comments are saying that this movie did nothing new and unique or that the action sequences weren’t stand out where that black panther as character isn’t unique. Respect the opinion but definitely have to disagree.

I just want to say that this is possibly the best review/discussion for this film I've seen so far. I find that a lot of people are getting way too nervous about the whole sociopolitical thing, which makes them either want to constantly address what this film means for some communities, or not address it at all. A happy medium is the only right approach, and while this review does talk about political implications, it never goes into "Screw the story, characters and relevance to the MCU, because black people" territory like too many other reviews out there IMO. Bravo.

I agree with several of the problems that Nick, Tim, and Greg had, but I also agree with most everything Andy and Kevin said too.

I loved the movie! I admit there were some parts like seemed a little slow and the action wasn’t as great as some other Marvel movies, but I still loved it. Killmonger is my favorite villain in any Marvel movie now.

*Step into the Spotlight*

Am I the only one who caught the Easter egg about there being Wakanda spies willing to work with Killmonger in New York, London and Hong Kong, which is a reference to Doctor Strange and the Sanctums.

Nick yer outta yer mind! Outta yer mind! This movie was great! Now Andy's my new favorite. Hahaha. I'll give you that Iron Man is better for its main hero than Black Panther in the aspect that we get to see Tony Stark at his lowest moment, and so his superhero rise is really felt. But on the other hand, T'Challa's humility gives him a truly Superman-level gravity. And unlike Iron Man, who keeps saying he will stop making weapons but is still making Iron Man suits, T'Challa has a very clear and very critically important social role that extends beyond the movie. Where Dark Knight Rises made a lot of quazi attempts to get here, Black Panther really got real and spoke to legitimate problems, not vague ones. The strength of his compassion for Killmonger at the end makes T'Challa a stronger moral hero than so many of the others. Cap and Spidey come close- but T'Challa was immovable in his grace. And that scene when the guy is saying "what are a bunch of farmers supposed to offer?" He's not saying "farmers." He's saying the other word. That scene is not a repeat of the previous "I am Iron Man" end scene, but a statement that Black Panther and his people will not yield to being looked down upon by anyone and they are important, strong people. This is really the global response to the earlier scene when Killmonger is in the museum and he's talking about "why are your guards surrounding me? I'm just looking at this item." So much is being said with so little. In Civil War we sided with Black Panther because we saw his anger. But in this movie we are seeing him come into his true self and accept the sins of his father and take on an entire planet of people that will not see him as royalty because of the color of his skin. This is a really important movie because that is going to fly over so people's heads, but to those who have been through it, they will be awakened. This will be their Superman. And last but not least, you fucking crazy. The action in this movie is insane hahahah! Michonne fucking rules!!! Love this flick! Can't wait for the next MCU review. Fuck it, Tim, let's go! One more for next week ahhhh!!! 😀😀😀

Some of these guys must be drunk during the movie. They barely remember anything 😅

One of the guys in Red Letter Media almost said “Michael G. Bordan” too (in their 1/2 in the bag review). He must be real.

Honestly for all the good things I've heard about this movie, it's weird to see these guys talk about how they didn't like it. Just saw it last night and loved it!

The music in Black Panther has to be one of the best things about it! It’s so unique and memorable unlike Marvel’s other soundtracks. Kendrick’s Black Panther album is so damn good, I can’t stop listening to it!

Its errie how close they were to their predictions. There's a comment made where they thought Shuri would be taking on the Iron Man mantle or suit rather wherein they did develop a suit but for Riri Williams as Ironheart.

Just saw it. Not a great movie nor a bad one. It was fine.

Nick just admitting he didnt like Tchalla cause he wasnt like Iron Man was wild. If every character was as snark as RDJ then he wouldnt be that special

I have trouble deciding between iron man and black panther because the highs of iron man with RDJ are phenomenal but the lows with the villain are soooo low, meanwhile black panther doesn't really have any huge dips in quality.

Pretty much every review Nick starts to make a point that I think I’m gonna agree with but then it goes off into something where I’m really confused where he’s coming from. I went in with expectations that this movie would be on Ant Man level and came out with it being one of my favourites. I wish these guys hadn’t seen reviews because unlike the other Marvel movies being rewatched years later for this series, all of the hype affected this viewing. That being said, it’s still always enjoyable to see each entry in this review series with such in depth discussion.

Black Panther being able to put on his suit instantly is a detriment to the character. Vulnerability is interesting and what little he had at the beginning was immediately taken away.

I'll be honest, I have no idea who Kendrick Lamar is, and don't think I even noticed his music in the movie.

The reason the young version of Forest Whitaker’s character looks so much like him is because they cast his son for the role, btw.

I can't wait to see how you guys position Ragnarok, Homecoming, Guardians 1 and Dr. Strange. Best four movies IMO

Rip king. You will be missed by all of us.

The number one thing I've learned while watching this video is that Nick likes flashing lights and armor that gives people power. If all you do is punch people and are acrobatic then you aren't worth his time. I wholeheartedly disagree and think he's wrong.
