Disney: Dear Andre we're lifting the embargo! Me: pulls up a chair, pours some tea and starts sipping!! LOL great review, thanks for not spoiling it!😅#cantwait #wakandaforever! ✊🏾😆
i'm really glad that the reception to this movie has been so positive, i'm white and I've grown up with all my superheroes being represented throughout my childhood and i guess I've taken that for granted. i hope this movie does well in the box office and I can't wait to see it!
Angela Basset..or as we'd all love to call her...THE WOMAN THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN STORM IN THE FIRST 3 X MEN MOVIES!! She would just need to dye her hair white and BAAM!! Storm!
With Get Out and now Black Panther, it seems like Hollywood is finally giving "black cinema" a chance to truly shine. Before the 60s, blacks were only ever seen on screen as subservient, and usually stupid. In the 60s we finally saw some promise with Sidney Poitier becoming the first successful black leading man in Hollywood. The 70s saw the blaxploitation boom where lots of movies targeted to a black audience with mostly black casts were made, but unfortunately nearly all were not high quality. Since the 80s we've seen the rise of many prominent black actors and actresses, many of whom have gained widespread recognition as excellent actors. But films with a majority black cast were rarely high budget and rarely were expected to draw in any other demographic but African-Americans. And a lot of these films with black directors and black casts were reviewed very poorly by critics, usually not unfairly either, I'm looking at YOU Tyler Perry. But now it seems like Hollywood has finally warmed up to the idea that "black movies" can be widespread successes, both financially and critically. Hopefully this trend continues and we don't go back to every year's most successful black film to have "Madea" in the title.
Dude, check out some of them Blacksploitstion movies. Black-ula, Barrie Gordies Last Dragon, Black Dynamite, and Rage in Harlem, off the top of my head. I’m honestly hoping that with Black Panther blacksploitstion will return as a genre.
I'm a white male who's seen all MCU movies in theater and I thought Black Panther was the best thing about the whole Civil War movie. Definitely gonna watch it. I don't give a shit what skin color anyone has. We're all humans.
Now that I've seen the movie I've gotta say that this was probably my favourite Marvel movie right next to Guardians of the Galaxy. The culture, the tech, the characters especially the villian. It was all so damn good.
Andre, you nailed it when you said "there's never been a Black superhero film like this that has gotten this kind of RESPECT." I don't know why, but when you said that, tears started swelling up in my eyes.
"As you can see, the ferocious Black Nerd, named the 'Andre' is about to sing its mating call, shhh, silent everyone, he approaches..." 0:00 to 0:24 "ahhh so majestic..."
Eduardo Alvarez what has had as big an event factor? Maybe Star Wars, but you expect people to show up in costume for that. What you don't expect to see is spontaneous dance parties and choreographed routines breaking out all over the place.
THE EMBARGO HAS LIFTED!!!! (however, i still have to wait 6 days, 23 hours, 30 minutes to die and be reborn in WAKANDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!) But more than this movie, I'm excited for this video. Your thoughts never let me down, even with movies that I had planned to see.
Oh, I'm so fucking relieved to hear this. I want this movie to be good, so fucking bad. It's how I felt about Wonder Woman. I was like, "PUHLEEZ!!!!! I've waited all my life for this and if it's shit, they'll blame it on having a female lead rather than a crappy script and we'll never get another!" Ive been so afraid that Blank Panther would be treated like the obligatory token black super hero movie, thrown into the universe just to say they did it and shut fans up. To hear it's been treated with as much, if not more care than the others, warms my little marvel fangirl heart. Now I'm going into a complete media blackout until I see it so the experience wont be tainted for me
I'm so glad that it's gotten such high praise. I agree with Andre about the risks the film had being the first major modern black superhero film but Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler haven't done me dirty and it's so inspirational seeing such a film being produced and made in this time and getting the praise I hoped it would. Biased or not I now know i will love this film. Thank you for a great review Andre I got my ticket for opening night and want to feel empowered.
Everyone and their grandmother wants to watch this movie. My mother who has expressed her hatred of superhero films, showed interest in this. It says a lot about the impact of this movies.
Dear Andre, I really like your channel and all of the videos you make. I can't wait to watch this review once the movie comes out, but I don't want any hints, any spoiler-ish-non-spoilers to take a single piece of awe and excitement I have for this movie away! I have this vid on mute because I still wanna give you a 'view'! I can't wait to hear what you have to say about it next week! XOXO Ashley "Also Black Nerd"
It's okay, Ashley. He kept it vague enough to still watch it. I've only seen the first trailer and that's it. Andre is pretty much the only reviewer I trust for this movie. I'll watch it again after see the movie. Wakandaaaaaa!
Completely agree. I never watch or read any reviews of a movie unless I have seen it or have no plans to see it and just like the reviewer, as has happened a few times with Andre.
Androu, I completely agree, but in this day and age, asians seem to always shine. I say this an a black female. The stereotypes created for you seem to be all positive! Lol. Not trying to offend you or anything. Just a personal observation.
I'm more talking about asian representation in Hollywood. They're poorly represented, barely in any movies, only have minor roles that doesn't even require English words and let alone lead roles. I truly hope the situation gets better.
Then ask to be represented. We black people fought and died to be represented. Just because you Asians are weak and don't want to fight doesn't mean we black people fight for you. It's your prerogative. Don't ride on our coat tail. March for yourself, fight for yourself, like us black people. All you so called minorities want to shine with us to benefit you but love to be called "model minority." Take your victim hood and do something about it. My people fought, get those lazy cheating Asian hands moving and do the work.
I agree with you at a certain extent. I don't believe asians are lazy or don't fight. They do, but they're very in the minority since there aren't a lot of Asian actors to even start with, and the opportunities are very slim. Most Asians don't even consider Cinema to be a choice of career, family changes everything. And in response to your comment, this shouldn't be a ''you do your people we do ours'' since POC are people of all color, so they should be one and not separated like when you say ''us black people''. I get what you mean, but in my opinion, POC is one and this is where we should help each other. Asians are part of it, Black too, indians, latinos etc...They should all support each other to get represented.
Of course you've seen a black superhero movie on the scale of Black Panther! Everyone remembers Blankman. No? Steel? Nah not really? MeteorMan? Not ringing a bell? Blade? There we go! Lmfao
Andre "Black Nerd" I definitely know where you coming from. I’m a Black Nerd too. 🤓😁People bring up those movies and also Spawn. But they fail to realize the scale, budget, and A list black actors that are involved in this. I work part time at a movie theater and I can’t wait to see people’s reaction to this movie.
Micheal B Jordan was amazing in this movie, Killmonger honestly might be my favourite marvel villain in the cinematic universe thus far. He's just so damn relatable.
Oh my God but I want to see this movie! I got into Black Panther by way of the X-Men (after Storm and T'chala got married), but damn if it hasn't been a fun comic. If the movie is even half as good as you say, this is going to be awesome.
Great review. I cant wait to watch this. I love the fact that most of the women in this are darker than a brown paper bag and they arent just the neck rolling sidekick. I love that those darker women are gonna shine and kick ass. I love that Im gonna see myself in a big budget film that was taken seriously and isnt about Jim Crow or slavery! Even if i end up hating this movie plot wise....im still gonna love it, buy it and support it for those reasons alone.
Hail Eris! I've been planning on seeing this movie for roughly 25 years (Yeah, I was convinced that a Kevin Feige had to come along and start things rolling first, because an MCU (emm-cee-you) had to exist, eventually), so your review has merely validated my wisdom.;-{P} Snarky In order to understand tail-recursion, one must last understand tail-recursion.
Andre your "Wakanda!!!" In this review was amazing and that was worth checking it out. But yeah; call me hyped. I have loved Black Panther and I am so happy that his movie is great.Because it is about time we got to see BP on screen.
I am so glad somebody else shared my feelings of nervousness because if black panther was just ok... lord who knows how long it’d take to see another black superhero movie
Centuries ago, five African tribes fight over a meteorite made up of the alien metal vibranium until a warrior named Bashenga comes across a "heart-shaped herb" affected by the metal and gains superhuman abilities upon ingesting it. Becoming the first "Black Panther", he unites the tribes and forms the nation of Wakanda. As time passes, the Wakandans use the metal to develop highly-advanced technology while simultaneously isolating themselves from the rest of the world and posing as a Third World country. In 1992, while on an undercover assignment in Oakland, California, Prince N'Jobu becomes convinced Wakanda's isolationist policies have done more harm than good and vows to share its technology with people of African descent around the world, so they can conquer their oppressors. He enlists arms dealer Ulysses Klaue to steal a cache of vibranium, only for his older brother King T'Chaka to learn about his actions. T'Chaka reluctantly kills N'Jobu and abandons his son Erik in order to prevent the Wakandan people from learning the truth. In the present day, following T'Chaka's death at the hands of Helmut Zemo[N 1], his son T'Challa, the current Black Panther, returns to Wakanda to assume the throne. After working with Okoye, the leader of the Dora Milaje, to extract his ex-lover Nakia from an undercover assignment, he reunites with his mother Ramonda and younger sister Shuri only to learn that M'Baku, the leader of the rival Jabari Tribe, is challenging him for the crown. The two engage in ritual combat, with T'Challa emerging victorious and becoming the new King. When Klaue resurfaces and prepares to sell a stolen Wakandan artifact to a buyer in Busan, South Korea, T'Challa's closest friend W'Kabi, who lost his parents as a result of the arms dealer's actions, urges the young monarch to bring him to justice. T'Challa, Okoye, and Nakia attempt to intercept Klaue only to discover that the buyer is CIA agent Everett K. Ross. The deal subsequently goes sour, and a car chase ensues that culminates in Klaue's apprehension. While in CIA custody, however, Klaue is rescued by Erik, now an ex-U.S. black ops soldier who goes by the name "Killmonger." Ross is seriously injured saving Nakia in the attack, and rather than pursue Klaue, T'Challa takes Ross to Wakanda where Shuri uses the nation's advanced technology to save his life. Killmonger kills Klaue and takes his body to Wakanda as a token, revealing his identity to the tribal elders and challenging T'Challa for the throne. Killmonger triumphs in ritual combat and hurls the defeated T'Challa over a waterfall. After ingesting the heart-shaped herb to gain the powers of the Black Panther, Killmonger enacts his father's plan, preparing shipments of Wakandan weapons to be distributed to Wakandan operatives around the world. Nakia, Shuri, Ramonda, and Ross flee to seek the aid of the Jabari, only to learn that M'Baku's men have found and are caring for the comatose T'Challa. Healed by a heart-shaped herb brought by Nakia, T'Challa returns to Wakanda and renews his combat with Killmonger, who is now wearing a Black Panther armor of his own. While Shuri, Nakia, and Okoye join the Dora Milaje and Jabari in battling W'Kabi and the Wakandan army, Ross, piloting a remote jet, shoots down the planes carrying the weapons before they can leave the country. T'Challa and Killmonger's battle carries them into the heart of the vibranium mine, where sonic disruptors used in the transport of the metal destabilizes their vibranium armors. While Killmonger's body is briefly exposed, T'Challa stabs his cousin, and Killmonger chooses to die free rather than accept T'Challa's offer to be healed and imprisoned. Rejecting the isolationism of past Wakandan kings, T'Challa establishes an outreach center in Oakland to be run by Nakia and Shuri. In a mid-credits scene, T'Challa appears before the United Nations to reveal Wakanda's true nature to the world. In a post-credits scene, Shuri continues to help Bucky Barnes with his recuperation.
TheDisneyLover58 Just try telling most people that you think that The Princess Bride is an objectively horrible movie. The story, characters, and dialogue are atrocious, the acting and sets are subpar. People will treat you like some weird alien being at best. There is no such thing as a universally loved film there are always people who dislike it, often cause they just dislike that kind of story. I strongly dislike romantic plotlines and find them to be barely tolerable in the background, when they take center stage it becomes unwatchable
I get it,before BP came along,there was Meteor Man,that Damon Wayne Handy Man character and Steel(with....Shaq) and then in '98..BLADE! Aside from Blade,there was slim pickings for black heros.....in movies anyway,now there is BP too!
I think you mean Blank Man. Also Catwoman and Spawn were black. Edit: I'm just ignoring non-titular characters or ensemble casts with black heroes, like Storm.
Sammy Lane live action yes, but a few more in the animated world of super heroes John Stewart (the green lantern in the animated justice league) and Static Shock being some of the most notable ones
I think Chadwick boseman is already an icon. An iconic actor who Plays iconic roles in such an iconic way. Maybe in the future there will be a movie about Chadwick as an icon who has played iconic roles :D
I loved it. My one and only issue is the Marvel format where the bad guy is an "evil" version of the hero. It's over done at this point. Everything else about it was great and if the other movies before it hadn't used the 'bad guy using what makes the hero a hero to fight the hero' trope, then there would have been no issues with this movie at all.
I love you brother. You make me laugh and I love your reviews. It looks so bad ass. I am excited to see a movie that makes people of other races stoic and respected. We all are equal that is how I have always seen it. This is the beginning of walls crumbling down that have been up for way too long. I am excited and have had my ticket for 2 weeks already.
Andre, when you started clearing your throat I knew you were going to sing that one word song that I have been hearing for months. *THANK YOU FOR THAT!!!* (Even though it did go a little too long!) I also liked the fact that you forgot to say, "Imma give you the good, etc." I was betting on whether you were gonna say something bad. I lost!!! But, it's all good because you spoke the truth. I can't wait to see it!!!!! Did you get your BP comics yet??? And, which ones are you reading? Thanks!!!!!
I've been waiting for this review since the movie was first announced and you did not disappoint. Next thursday cannot come any sooner! I'm happy to be alive and able to witness this with my own eyes, and i'm going to enjoy every viewing. This will be something i'll never forget. WAKANDAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Love your enthusiasm for the movie! I really enjoy watching quality reviewers like you talk about movies; I learn so much! The movie was so good, but I do wish they would have spent more time with Killmonger. Michael B. Jordan did a great job and I think the movie would have been even stronger with more time exploring his character. But still, a very, very good film. And so pretty to look at! -- Jessica from Drawing Conclusions, the marriage of movies and art

Thanks for the review, I’m taking my wife to this in a couple weeks.. Gotta be honest, a little bit jealous you got to see it early! From what I’ve heard, if this year’s CBMs follow the momentum of Black Panther, we’re in for a helluva 2018!
Great review andre! Been waiting for this because black panther is my favorite superhero and when it was announced he was getting a standalone movie i was so excited, already bought my ticket and ur review just makes me more hype!!!!!
I grew up in a mostly DC household. My mom had collected the comics for ages, anything from Green Lantern to Legion of Superheroes and one of the very few Marvel lines that she picked up was Black Panther. I've had lots of fun with the various movies they've put out of characters I'd barely heard about growing up, but THIS is the movie I've needed in my life. Damn straight, Wakanda Forever!
i love the beginning lol I feel you man, i been watching every marvel movie and im a big fan of black panther like the rest of marvels heros and i been waiting for this, i know these caracters grew up reading these comics and i cant wait to be part of history.
Man Andre I enjoy how you are since the first trailer until now and haven't seen any other trailers since the first one because I want a pure reaction but I had to cheat and listen to your review
90% of comments: *WAKANDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!*
10% of comments: Actual comments of the movie.

Matthew Smart Q

I quickly reach out to turn down the volume.
*just* made it in time! :)
I warned ya! Ha ha ha!
Sk8rToon thank you for saving me
I turned up the volume!
i did it before i skipped ad
Andre "Black Nerd" When???????
For those wondering, at the beginning Andre was tuning in "A" (the standard tuning tone for most orchestras).
Thank you! Ha ha ha!
i'm really glad that the reception to this movie has been so positive, i'm white and I've grown up with all my superheroes being represented throughout my childhood and i guess I've taken that for granted. i hope this movie does well in the box office and I can't wait to see it!
Well, considering its pre-sales have already outsold every other superhero movie ever, I think it's going to be a smash. :)
Brenton McCann You're white? Um good to know I guess...
Thank you for being positive!
Appreciate the positivity
Higffy 321 He's just explaining how he didn't always understand the significance of heroes of color, he's not trying to impress anyone
Wakandaaaaa!!!!!! Your excitement is so contagious. I can’t wait to go.
Angela Basset..or as we'd all love to call her...THE WOMAN THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN STORM IN THE FIRST 3 X MEN MOVIES!! She would just need to dye her hair white and BAAM!! Storm!
Sammy Lane 100% true. She would be an awesome storm. They would have had to write her better
YYEEESSS!!! THANK YOU!!! Seriously Thank you!!!!
Storm at one point was married to T'challa.
Yes she was. Shame they might not get referenced in the film.........
True...finally other people that acknowledge this! From her speaking style to the naturally regal way she just ALWAYS seems to carry herself.
I don't think *"WAKANDAAAAA!"* will ever stop being funny!
JackAttack! Awesome thumbnail bro
or awesome

Oh crap I forgot to mention Spike Lee, I guess my entire comment is null and void, lol.
70s blaxploitation films are awesome fun! Gotta wonder the incredible crime films they would've made with actual budgets.
lol I'm white as hell
Dude, check out some of them Blacksploitstion movies. Black-ula, Barrie Gordies Last Dragon, Black Dynamite, and Rage in Harlem, off the top of my head. I’m honestly hoping that with Black Panther blacksploitstion will return as a genre.
The Sunken Place was so messed up, Chris went the extra mile and took himself all the way to Africa, just in case.
When you go to one extreme, sometimes the only way to combat it is an opposite extreme ha ha ha!
I'm a white male who's seen all MCU movies in theater and I thought Black Panther was the best thing about the whole Civil War movie. Definitely gonna watch it. I don't give a shit what skin color anyone has. We're all humans.
UrDutchFriend ☝️ finally a sane person
Not that I care about skin color but you just might be my favorite white person next to Ellen Degeneres and Martha Stewart.
Cringe. But yh civil war was better with black panther in it.
UrDutchFriend Him and Spider-Man were the best things about Civil War
Now that I've seen the movie I've gotta say that this was probably my favourite Marvel movie right next to Guardians of the Galaxy. The culture, the tech, the characters especially the villian. It was all so damn good.
Andre, you nailed it when you said "there's never been a Black superhero film like this that has gotten this kind of RESPECT."
I don't know why, but when you said that, tears started swelling up in my eyes.
Pookie Pook maybe it because its the first good one and not because it has anything to do with race
Are we all forgetting about Blade??? Am I the only one who thought the comics and movie was bad ass????
"As you can see, the ferocious Black Nerd, named the 'Andre' is about to sing its mating call, shhh, silent everyone, he approaches..." 0:00 to 0:24 "ahhh so majestic..."
"Excitement indeed..."
THE ONLY black panther review that matters to me!
devincigirl same here! Lol
Movie event of the century so far, and then it lives up to both the hype and responsibility.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Eduardo Alvarez what has had as big an event factor? Maybe Star Wars, but you expect people to show up in costume for that. What you don't expect to see is spontaneous dance parties and choreographed routines breaking out all over the place.
THE EMBARGO HAS LIFTED!!!! (however, i still have to wait 6 days, 23 hours, 30 minutes to die and be reborn in WAKANDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!) But more than this movie, I'm excited for this video. Your thoughts never let me down, even with movies that I had planned to see.
Oh, I'm so fucking relieved to hear this. I want this movie to be good, so fucking bad. It's how I felt about Wonder Woman. I was like, "PUHLEEZ!!!!! I've waited all my life for this and if it's shit, they'll blame it on having a female lead rather than a crappy script and we'll never get another!"
Ive been so afraid that Blank Panther would be treated like the obligatory token black super hero movie, thrown into the universe just to say they did it and shut fans up. To hear it's been treated with as much, if not more care than the others, warms my little marvel fangirl heart. Now I'm going into a complete media blackout until I see it so the experience wont be tainted for me
Your excitement has sold me going to see it a second time before I have seen it the first time. Love ya Andre
Ha ha ha ha ha! Nice!
I've been waiting for THISSSSSSS!!!!!
LIQUID!!?!?!!?
I'm so glad that it's gotten such high praise. I agree with Andre about the risks the film had being the first major modern black superhero film but Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler haven't done me dirty and it's so inspirational seeing such a film being produced and made in this time and getting the praise I hoped it would. Biased or not I now know i will love this film. Thank you for a great review Andre I got my ticket for opening night and want to feel empowered.
Everyone and their grandmother wants to watch this movie.
My mother who has expressed her hatred of superhero films, showed interest in this. It says a lot about the impact of this movies.
The same thing with my wife, who usually has no time for superhero movies.
Ryan Coogler,31 years. Child prodigious
The struggle for Wakanda's future was so good it puts everything in perspective for when Infinity War happens and all 5 tribes go ham on Thano's army.
Dear Andre,
I really like your channel and all of the videos you make. I can't wait to watch this review once the movie comes out, but I don't want any hints, any spoiler-ish-non-spoilers to take a single piece of awe and excitement I have for this movie away! I have this vid on mute because I still wanna give you a 'view'! I can't wait to hear what you have to say about it next week!
XOXO
Ashley "Also Black Nerd"
Understand. See you Feb 16th ha ha ha!
It's okay, Ashley. He kept it vague enough to still watch it. I've only seen the first trailer and that's it. Andre is pretty much the only reviewer I trust for this movie. I'll watch it again after see the movie. Wakandaaaaaa!
Me Too!!!!!
Completely agree. I never watch or read any reviews of a movie unless I have seen it or have no plans to see it and just like the reviewer, as has happened a few times with Andre.
I came back after seeing the movie and while this 'review' wasn't too revealing I'm still glad I saw the movie first!
So happy for the black community! This is Marvel's wonder woman. A progressive movie done right. I hope one day Asians get to shine...
Androu Luc Thank you! 😊
Androu, I completely agree, but in this day and age, asians seem to always shine. I say this an a black female. The stereotypes created for you seem to be all positive! Lol. Not trying to offend you or anything. Just a personal observation.

All you so called minorities want to shine with us to benefit you but love to be called "model minority." Take your victim hood and do something about it. My people fought, get those lazy cheating Asian hands moving and do the work.
I agree with you at a certain extent. I don't believe asians are lazy or don't fight. They do, but they're very in the minority since there aren't a lot of Asian actors to even start with, and the opportunities are very slim. Most Asians don't even consider Cinema to be a choice of career, family changes everything. And in response to your comment, this shouldn't be a ''you do your people we do ours'' since POC are people of all color, so they should be one and not separated like when you say ''us black people''. I get what you mean, but in my opinion, POC is one and this is where we should help each other. Asians are part of it, Black too, indians, latinos etc...They should all support each other to get represented.
That should be your new intro lol
Of course you've seen a black superhero movie on the scale of Black Panther!
Everyone remembers Blankman. No?
Steel? Nah not really?
MeteorMan? Not ringing a bell?
Blade? There we go!
Lmfao
Seen all of them!
Great movies esp for that time but in no way are they at such a grand scale as BP.
I lied Steel isnt good.
Andre "Black Nerd" I definitely know where you coming from. I’m a Black Nerd too. 🤓😁People bring up those movies and also Spawn. But they fail to realize the scale, budget, and A list black actors that are involved in this. I work part time at a movie theater and I can’t wait to see people’s reaction to this movie.
Steel deserved so much better.
That intro was everything!
That laugh at 9:51 😂😭😂😂 that got me to subscribe! Great review/reaction!
Step in to the spot light
Micheal B Jordan was amazing in this movie, Killmonger honestly might be my favourite marvel villain in the cinematic universe thus far. He's just so damn relatable.
Oh my God but I want to see this movie! I got into Black Panther by way of the X-Men (after Storm and T'chala got married), but damn if it hasn't been a fun comic. If the movie is even half as good as you say, this is going to be awesome.
Saw a special viewing of Black Panther tonight and it was GREAT. The FIRST review I wanted to see when I got home was Andre's review.
lol ... I love this channel !!!
The Black Panther approves this review!
WAKANDA FOREVER !!!
Mark Keller WAKANDA!
You know it!!!
There are so many black actors In this movie I'm surprised you did not show up in this movie Andre.
Great review. I cant wait to watch this. I love the fact that most of the women in this are darker than a brown paper bag and they arent just the neck rolling sidekick. I love that those darker women are gonna shine and kick ass. I love that Im gonna see myself in a big budget film that was taken seriously and isnt about Jim Crow or slavery! Even if i end up hating this movie plot wise....im still gonna love it, buy it and support it for those reasons alone.
Lol you are such a dork but it's amazing! Makes me grin. xD Love your reviews.
Wow, Andre likes this movie?!! I never would have guessed!
Surprise of the Century!
Andre "Black Nerd" Great review,Andre.Love your opening Andre.I can,t wait to see this movie too.
Shmaylan: What a twist!
It's more that he just likes it, it's objective quality is also validated.
Hail Eris!
I've been planning on seeing this movie for roughly 25 years (Yeah, I was convinced that a Kevin Feige had to come along and start things rolling first, because an MCU (emm-cee-you) had to exist, eventually), so your review has merely validated my wisdom.;-{P}
Snarky
In order to understand tail-recursion, one must last understand tail-recursion.
black nerd we need the spoilers version PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dadz Life I second this
Andre your "Wakanda!!!" In this review was amazing and that was worth checking it out. But yeah; call me hyped. I have loved Black Panther and I am so happy that his movie is great.Because it is about time we got to see BP on screen.
You do good reviews Andre. You hit this right on the head man.
You sold me on the first 25 seconds
I wish you could have said that in the editing process ha ha ha!
I love how you just broke down at 9:35
Thumbs up if we should have gotten Angela Bassett as Storm.
macetenchu she turned down the role that is how Halle got it.
I am so glad somebody else shared my feelings of nervousness because if black panther was just ok... lord who knows how long it’d take to see another black superhero movie
Its here!! I refused to watch any other review before the movie....except for yours!
MzWhatThePuck Same here
I can't wait for the spoiler filled review!
#WakandaForever
Was waiting for this!
Your intro omg!! This is why I love watching you!
The best black panther movie review ever
I came here to try to feel some excitement. Very sad time but I appreciate this reminder of better times. Rest in peace Chadwick Boseman.
0:12 message received. Best movie ever. Of all time! Thank you black nerd.
Centuries ago, five African tribes fight over a meteorite made up of the alien metal vibranium until a warrior named Bashenga comes across a "heart-shaped herb" affected by the metal and gains superhuman abilities upon ingesting it. Becoming the first "Black Panther", he unites the tribes and forms the nation of Wakanda. As time passes, the Wakandans use the metal to develop highly-advanced technology while simultaneously isolating themselves from the rest of the world and posing as a Third World country.
In 1992, while on an undercover assignment in Oakland, California, Prince N'Jobu becomes convinced Wakanda's isolationist policies have done more harm than good and vows to share its technology with people of African descent around the world, so they can conquer their oppressors. He enlists arms dealer Ulysses Klaue to steal a cache of vibranium, only for his older brother King T'Chaka to learn about his actions. T'Chaka reluctantly kills N'Jobu and abandons his son Erik in order to prevent the Wakandan people from learning the truth.
In the present day, following T'Chaka's death at the hands of Helmut Zemo[N 1], his son T'Challa, the current Black Panther, returns to Wakanda to assume the throne. After working with Okoye, the leader of the Dora Milaje, to extract his ex-lover Nakia from an undercover assignment, he reunites with his mother Ramonda and younger sister Shuri only to learn that M'Baku, the leader of the rival Jabari Tribe, is challenging him for the crown. The two engage in ritual combat, with T'Challa emerging victorious and becoming the new King.
When Klaue resurfaces and prepares to sell a stolen Wakandan artifact to a buyer in Busan, South Korea, T'Challa's closest friend W'Kabi, who lost his parents as a result of the arms dealer's actions, urges the young monarch to bring him to justice. T'Challa, Okoye, and Nakia attempt to intercept Klaue only to discover that the buyer is CIA agent Everett K. Ross. The deal subsequently goes sour, and a car chase ensues that culminates in Klaue's apprehension. While in CIA custody, however, Klaue is rescued by Erik, now an ex-U.S. black ops soldier who goes by the name "Killmonger." Ross is seriously injured saving Nakia in the attack, and rather than pursue Klaue, T'Challa takes Ross to Wakanda where Shuri uses the nation's advanced technology to save his life.
Killmonger kills Klaue and takes his body to Wakanda as a token, revealing his identity to the tribal elders and challenging T'Challa for the throne. Killmonger triumphs in ritual combat and hurls the defeated T'Challa over a waterfall. After ingesting the heart-shaped herb to gain the powers of the Black Panther, Killmonger enacts his father's plan, preparing shipments of Wakandan weapons to be distributed to Wakandan operatives around the world. Nakia, Shuri, Ramonda, and Ross flee to seek the aid of the Jabari, only to learn that M'Baku's men have found and are caring for the comatose T'Challa.
Healed by a heart-shaped herb brought by Nakia, T'Challa returns to Wakanda and renews his combat with Killmonger, who is now wearing a Black Panther armor of his own. While Shuri, Nakia, and Okoye join the Dora Milaje and Jabari in battling W'Kabi and the Wakandan army, Ross, piloting a remote jet, shoots down the planes carrying the weapons before they can leave the country. T'Challa and Killmonger's battle carries them into the heart of the vibranium mine, where sonic disruptors used in the transport of the metal destabilizes their vibranium armors. While Killmonger's body is briefly exposed, T'Challa stabs his cousin, and Killmonger chooses to die free rather than accept T'Challa's offer to be healed and imprisoned.
Rejecting the isolationism of past Wakandan kings, T'Challa establishes an outreach center in Oakland to be run by Nakia and Shuri. In a mid-credits scene, T'Challa appears before the United Nations to reveal Wakanda's true nature to the world. In a post-credits scene, Shuri continues to help Bucky Barnes with his recuperation.
Darren Mcclean your kidding right?
Darren Mcclean okay, but I would hide and not say anything to anyone else cause... fans are crazy.
TheDisneyLover58 Just try telling most people that you think that The Princess Bride is an objectively horrible movie. The story, characters, and dialogue are atrocious, the acting and sets are subpar. People will treat you like some weird alien being at best. There is no such thing as a universally loved film there are always people who dislike it, often cause they just dislike that kind of story. I strongly dislike romantic plotlines and find them to be barely tolerable in the background, when they take center stage it becomes unwatchable
mlapointej you think that bad try being a marvel AND a DC fan... it’s hard and terrifying.
I get it,before BP came along,there was Meteor Man,that Damon Wayne Handy Man character and Steel(with....Shaq) and then in '98..BLADE! Aside from Blade,there was slim pickings for black heros.....in movies anyway,now there is BP too!
I think you mean Blank Man. Also Catwoman and Spawn were black.
Edit: I'm just ignoring non-titular characters or ensemble casts with black heroes, like Storm.
You forgot Blank Man
Sammy Lane so right.
You forgot Black Cougar! RedLetterMedia did a review!
Sammy Lane live action yes, but a few more in the animated world of super heroes John Stewart (the green lantern in the animated justice league) and Static Shock being some of the most notable ones
That intro had me laughing
Wakanda!
You are here too! You are everywhere!.... Are you stalking me? Am I staking you? I don't know anymore!
Wonderful scream in the beginning Andre. That was spectacular. Good review.
I also love the quality of your camera.
Aww, thank you for appreciating my tech work :)
Much appreciated review!!! Can feel the energy and excitement and can't wait to see it now!!!
I think Chadwick boseman is already an icon. An iconic actor who Plays iconic roles in such an iconic way. Maybe in the future there will be a movie about Chadwick as an icon who has played iconic roles :D
Jomar Beran *☝🏾played by Chadwick Boseman
I loved it. My one and only issue is the Marvel format where the bad guy is an "evil" version of the hero. It's over done at this point. Everything else about it was great and if the other movies before it hadn't used the 'bad guy using what makes the hero a hero to fight the hero' trope, then there would have been no issues with this movie at all.
WAKANDAAAAAAAA!!! Wakanda Forever!
I LOVE how extra all of the black TH-camrs have been in their Black Pather Review Intros!!!
*WAKANDA INTENSIFIES*
I love you brother. You make me laugh and I love your reviews. It looks so bad ass. I am excited to see a movie that makes people of other races stoic and respected. We all are equal that is how I have always seen it. This is the beginning of walls crumbling down that have been up for way too long. I am excited and have had my ticket for 2 weeks already.
#BlackExcellence💜
Sound Logic u intimidated?
Sound Logic Dang dude, you getting offended over some comment about black people being excellent? Talk about thin-skinned...
Sound Logic a little white fragility there huh friend? Trump is still President. Feel better now?
White fragility is at an all time-high.
White Excellence 💙
Andre, when you started clearing your throat I knew you were going to sing that one word song that I have been hearing for months. *THANK YOU FOR THAT!!!* (Even though it did go a little too long!) I also liked the fact that you forgot to say, "Imma give you the good, etc." I was betting on whether you were gonna say something bad. I lost!!! But, it's all good because you spoke the truth. I can't wait to see it!!!!! Did you get your BP comics yet??? And, which ones are you reading? Thanks!!!!!
I'm wearing my black panther cosplay suit to the movie theater ! Yes. . . .i'm going to be that guy LOL.
You rock it lol!
I like your sincerity in your review and you seem very fair in your opinion. Thumb up from me.
I'm rolling on the floor at just the beginning of this video!!
That intro almost gave me a hear attack jfc😂 going to see it this weekend so stoked!
This Halloween everyone is gonna dress up as Black Panther. Like how every girl dressed up as Harley Quinn.
I've been waiting for this review since the movie was first announced and you did not disappoint. Next thursday cannot come any sooner! I'm happy to be alive and able to witness this with my own eyes, and i'm going to enjoy every viewing. This will be something i'll never forget. WAKANDAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Great review, Andre!!!
Andre I love the beginning! Funny review.
I waited unitl I saw the movie to watch this and boy was I not disappointed!!! Black Panther was so good you guys! It made me weep!!!
Love your enthusiasm for the movie! I really enjoy watching quality reviewers like you talk about movies; I learn so much! The movie was so good, but I do wish they would have spent more time with Killmonger. Michael B. Jordan did a great job and I think the movie would have been even stronger with more time exploring his character. But still, a very, very good film. And so pretty to look at! -- Jessica from Drawing Conclusions, the marriage of movies and art

Thanks for the review, I’m taking my wife to this in a couple weeks.. Gotta be honest, a little bit jealous you got to see it early! From what I’ve heard, if this year’s CBMs follow the momentum of Black Panther, we’re in for a helluva 2018!
Why is there only one black panther? Cuz there's no one t'challenge him
Andre, your singing has and will always be the sunshine in my life. Can't wait to see the Black Panther now!
Wakanda forever ever? Forever ever??? LMAO!
Andre: Clears his throat.
Me: Lowers my volume several notches.
YEA A REVIEW BY ANDRE!!! THE ONLY ONE I'M WATCHING!!!!!
I always love your energy Andre. Extra special on this one. Good show.
Great review, Andre! I can't wait to watch the movie myself!
P.S.: WAKAANDAAAAAAA!!!!!
Loved this review! Very entertaining. I want to go see it again asap!
Great review andre! Been waiting for this because black panther is my favorite superhero and when it was announced he was getting a standalone movie i was so excited, already bought my ticket and ur review just makes me more hype!!!!!
Thanks and great review as always!! Much appreciated!
HA HA HA Only 0:07 into the video and you are making my night again plus THAT IS A NEW RECORD FROM LAST TIME #WAKUNGA
I grew up in a mostly DC household. My mom had collected the comics for ages, anything from Green Lantern to Legion of Superheroes and one of the very few Marvel lines that she picked up was Black Panther. I've had lots of fun with the various movies they've put out of characters I'd barely heard about growing up, but THIS is the movie I've needed in my life. Damn straight, Wakanda Forever!
“WAKANDAAAAA!!!!!”
Anyone else fanboying?
i love the beginning lol I feel you man, i been watching every marvel movie and im a big fan of black panther like the rest of marvels heros and i been waiting for this, i know these caracters grew up reading these comics and i cant wait to be part of history.
Andre its your fault I keep screaming Wakandaaaaa!!! every time I see something black panther. Even scared my girlfriend the first I did it.
Andre sips ALL the tea at the end of this review, and I'm ALL here for it!
Just got out of the movie! Loved it! Shuri was one of my favs! And the film was beautiful in itself.
I knew before clicking that there was only one way Andre could intro this video, and he certainly didn't disappoint
Did they fix the bad CGI in the subway fight?
A1Googler eh. A little. That's actually my least favorite part of the movie. Still great though but that part was kinda meh.
A1Googler nope, the cgi with the suit wasn’t the greatest, and with some rhinos. It was weird because all the rest of the cgi looked good.
Hey Andre! I think you give the best reviews man! When are you releasing the full review with spoilers? No rush jw. Thank you!
DO NOT WATCH IF YOU HAVE HEADPHONES ON!!! Thanks Andre 😒😒😒
Man Andre I enjoy how you are since the first trailer until now and haven't seen any other trailers since the first one because I want a pure reaction but I had to cheat and listen to your review
