    TrueHello

    Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

    Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

    The movie really just wants to entertain people.

    The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

    This was a decent and well done animated series. Even when the plot of this isn't something incredibly complex or deep, it was very entertaining to watch.I liked a lot the artwork, and the limited style of the animation reminded some of the old '60s Marvel Superheroes show (In other words, it feels more like a motion comic rather than an actual animated series, but I don't have any problem with that. This isn't at the same level as the great motion comic "Broken Saints", tough.)The voice acting is good, and the overall plot kept my interest from beginning to end. It won't be the best animated adaptation of one Marvel comic, but it was interesting anyway.

    Art style was great but the animation style leaves something to be desired. The voice casting did a great job. Actors provided a living feel to all the characters. I was impressed with the selection of the villains. This story is definitely adult oriented. Storyline has such depth and complexity. I enjoyed how the story did not become a predictable, canned retelling of the origin of the Black Panther. The strong African nation that resolves it's own destiny is excellent. Unfortunately to end the story with such one sided politics shows poor judgment for a story that should have remained non-partisan. Still would recommend watching 98% of the movie.

    This is the best superhero feature, animated or live-action, that I've seen in years. Though presented as six TV episodes, it's all one story...and what a story! A beautifully complex narrative of stories-within-stories ranges over vast time and space to convey the myth of Wakanda, the untouchable warrior kingdom of Africa, and its hereditary leader, the Black Panther, even as the present-day story steadily builds to a gripping final half, with Wakanda under attack by enemies on all sides. Along for this roller-coaster ride: Storm and the X-Men, Juggernaut, The Black Knight, Captain America, a scary Condoleezza-alike, and even President O himself.The politics here will be controversial; this is an intelligent, funny, highly nuanced attack on imperialism of all stripes, from the White House to the Vatican. (So far as I can tell, although this was produced by BET/Viacom, it never seems to have actually aired on BET, and I'm betting the reason is the politics. I'd love to know the full story about this.)The artwork is terrific, and the presentation is somewhere between regular animation and a highly evolved motion comic. I found the effect always interesting, sometimes awesome.This movie kept me on the edge of my seat every minute. Superb!

    I wasn't crazy about the static animation at first, but it looks like a very good series so far. Good acting;except for the guy playing captain America, and its a pretty cool,slick show altogether. A good story following the classic story line, but updated to current events. It's nice to see a more adult oriented animated series as well, with realistic action and political views. Good action, a little bit of blood and violence without overdoing it. Some interesting crossovers as well a good mix of villains and hero's. The marvel universe is very well represented by this work. I love the representation of a strong, independent, advanced African nation.
