 Hey guys, I'm Dries, and I'm Trent, and we just saw Black Panther the premiere and it was fantastic It was I was so hyped so excited this movie Ever since not actually not even ever since Civil War. I've just been super stoked for it because I love panther as a character It was actually the first panther comics. I picked up was in 2005 In it was the who is the black panther arc which we happen to know a lot of elements from that story have Translated into the actual film itself I was super stoked so what do we think of it? Stay tuned stay tuned. Yes, and they'll find out So what do we think of black panther? I'm gonna kick it off with you because this is a super fan white here I'm a fan, but I don't really know too much about it Trent knows everything So go for it just a little more so I really love that I love the movie so so much everything that they did there were a couple of creative decisions that I was kind of apprehensive about in the in the grand scheme of long-term planning But for the actual movie itself, I really enjoyed everything that happened the plot the setting just everything was phenomenal My one my one apprehensive thing before going into the movie was the soundtrack Lo and behold They had a freaking awesome soundtrack the soundtrack was incredible and I do love hip-hop a lot and you're a rock guy So I can see where you're coming from but they really switched on its head a lot of travel music Yeah, those travel sounds are awesome. Fantastic every battle scene you had the travel drums going you had really But they mixed it with contemporary kind of Contemporary orchestral music as well. So it had a contemporary feel. It's just it built the world so much more Then what a soundtrack similar to Guardians of the Galaxy would do Yeah, that kind of had a fun tone this this showed the weight that was on to Charles hand on to Charles shoulders Sorry the entire time and so what what did you think of the visuals? I love visuals were Insane like so colorful so so vibraman like out of all the Marvel movies that we've seen How does it stack up with the rest of them in you know the cinematography and everything? I think it's Yeah building that world it looked visually better than Guardian of the Galaxy. I I think you think Because you feel like it's it's it's a lot more real Yeah, I can see that it had a very what it reminded me of was more Ragnarok. Oh Yes, yeah, I like it when when he they're actually on the planet secar I thought a lot of the Wakandan designs even though they were African in nature and Capsulated Jack Kirby's art the bold shapes the really kind of spirit the big City that was Wakanda. I thought it had that kind of Sikha kind of vibe to it and even thought there was a fall like the very first look and if Brannis thought Especially at the very end when it panned out and showed Wakanda as a whole city You could see similarities between the Golden Arch of Asgard and how Wakanda was built So how did this story live up to the comic books? Was it cheesy or did you find no? They're following this all the way through properly. They were very very comic accurate every every single element For those of you who haven't watched it yet. I made a classic characters video for movie nerds a couple of days ago Fantastic check that out because a lot of stuff that's in there for pretty much We were pretty spot-on with everything that's in there had the heart-shaped herb had the tribal process to become the panther In terms of comic accuracy, this is probably one of the most comic accurate. That's movies That's what you want to see especially from a Marvel movie You wanted to be comic accurate because you know we fell in love with the characters from comics You wanted to transcend on a screen. So yeah, we didn't need to read read Trade all ground. It was just from the get-go boom. Here's the world of Wakanda. Here's the world of the panther Here's the politics behind it We didn't go back too much into what happened in Civil War. It was always forward momentum It was a clean origin story how he became black panther his father the whole backstory was great Yeah, and I love the politics behind it Hmm. I love I love the politics a lot of what I thought originally a lot of the term I was gonna come from the outside world trying to come in which there was some of that Yeah, but it was ultimately the politics from within Wakanda itself That really kind of showed the movie with the the white gorilla tribe and the white rhino tribe Yeah, especially in the third act a lot of that kind of stuff really came through and I if you're not familiar with Wakanda and how Black Panther fit within the Marvel universe in the comics This does a great job of explaining why they are an isolated nation and why they don't want to kind of I love how they did that with the world. I didn't really know much about Black Panther You know what's the classic characters I knew of the character You know growing up because you love Marvel and you read a few comics here and there but Seeing what you made and then also watching this I love it And that's why I was so excited for it because it's just refreshing to see a Different character that is not so mainstream out there. You know, it's not Thor. It's not Captain America Black Panther How obscure is that? Yeah, even though he's really not if you're a huge comic book fan, but I thought it was fantastic Yeah, so let's talk about the cast but I've actually got my phone here So we can remember the cast and all their names to get it correctly So let's kick it off with Chadwick Bosman as Black Panther the Black Panther himself. He was fantastic Yep, he captures a role he yeah phenomenal I couldn't cast a better actor in that and then you go to Michael B Jordan You had your reservations about him the reservations haven't been you haven't seen credo No, I haven't so give me haven't seen Creed I think he's a great actor, but then he was what was he Johnny Storm? He was Johnny still I haven't seen that So I guess we can go back and forth with this as I'm Eric Kilmonger as a villain Yeah, I was happy. I was more excited about our circus Yeah Kilmonger didn't do it for me as a villain and My thoughts of what was gonna happen happened. Yeah Unfortunately Kilmonger is the main villain and to me it was just Michael B Jordan V Michael B Jordan in every other role I've seen him in. Yeah, which I just didn't There's no depth and the sad thing is the depth to that character came far too late It came far too late in the movie Yeah And for not enough time no if what we had what we had learned and what we were shown happened in the first act instead of the third May have been completely different, but he came off very arrogant came off very narcissistic and just I Want the world because I want the throne because I wanted to be mine Like we only learnt after that what the whole back story. Yeah, the whole story the whole spill about I thought Um any circus as um Ulysses. What is the last one? Ulysses claw he was phenomenal the the South African accent That's all you really nailed it. Oh, he nailed the South African accent quite well That was phenomenal. Yeah, and he's his hand that formed into a gun He is a exceptional actor. You know, we had Angela Bassett as the mother. She was fantastic Yep, Daniel Kahlua. So he was from get out and he was a kawabi. Yeah, the second engine the second in command What coffee what coffee what coffee? He was fantastic. He had the forest witty car He can't go wrong. No, we played played Suri the village elder. Yeah, the brother of King T'Chaka. Yeah, he was his backstory was sick. Yeah, really good. Ah Denai Guerrero She was phenomenal as one of Black Panther's guards. That was excellent. Her name is Okoe Now Before going further. Yes The Dora Miragee the Dora Miragee It's a tongue twister. Yeah, they're the warriors. Okay, so they are the guard in the guards of the panther. Mm-hmm. They kick Fricking Amazon's arses one woman wouldn't have a chance not at all against the Dora Miragee They remind they remind me I of the unsullied from from yes From Game of Thrones because they're all shaped it they all shake all shaped him but they're so precise and They're just extremely skilled warrior women. Oh warrior women are the way to go But these these ladies would kick serious, but the main love interest and Get this up again, but I feel I feel bad Lupita so we all know Lupita. She's big actress fantastic and she was Nikiya Nikiya, I mean I think all these things but Nikiya. She was great because she wasn't only a love interest She was like another kick-ass kick-fight. Yeah, we can warrior princess You know she wasn't she wasn't a typical love interest No, and she wasn't a push-over either like she can hold her own and she wanted to do what she wanted to do Oh, yeah, that's why she worked. That's why she was a spy for we're kind of trying to go to the outside Well, not because a king told her to because that's what she felt was right. Oh, yeah The one character my favorite character in this movie. I don't know the actress's name Yeah, but I know the character Black Panther's younger sister Shuri. Oh, she was tech guru. She was exceptional Yeah, you saw a bit of like Bruce Banner's Crazy tech whiz and Tony Stark's tech whiz like imagine that all three of those getting together and creating something You know who she reminded me of? Q. Oh Q from the bottom. Oh my god. Yes Giving all the gadgets doing all doing all the stuff having a lot of fun doing it She was so well-versed in all the technology. Yeah. Yeah, it was crazy what she came up with but her and her and Bozeman had a lot of good chemistry chemistry There was a hell of a lot of laughs and it wasn't too many laughs though. No, not Ragnarok laugh No, it wasn't like Ragnarok, but they didn't take themselves too seriously. There was very stern moments, but we laughed We laughed we all chuckled on the audience. I think it was a great vibe Yeah, but yes that the main thing is we love this movie. Oh, we loved it. Absolutely loved it other issues with it Yes, the third act kind of has the typical Marvel style in that it kind of you felt that as well Yeah, you felt it sort of just like it went on a little bit too long. I just right up to that point But if you just It's one of those things we're gonna get it in every movie so we can't really just be like Let's hope it's just gonna be action packed all the way through and super quick So we had to expect that what's gonna come but you know, was it a movie that we highly recommend? Yes, should should you guys go see it a hundred percent even if you're not a fan of Black Panther?
