All it took was one 3-star review ofBlack Pantherto take away its 100% Fresh Score on Rotten Tomatoes. Several fans were wondering how long Marvel’sBlack Pantherwould keep itsperfect ratingon the popular review aggregate site and as it turns out, it wasn’t very long at all. But why did it go from 100 percent to 99 percent in less than a week? Should we be worrying aboutBlack Panther? The one review in question did not pan the movie, but it only gave it 3 stars, which went into the aggregate site and broughtBlack Pantherdown.
The aforementionedBlack Panther reviewis from the Irish Independent and it doesn’t trashBlack Pantherat all. Instead, the review is actually quite good throughout, giving the highly anticipated Marvel movie good marks for the action sequences and the look of the movie. The review claims that the opening sequence is one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s finest moments to date. However, it states thatBlack Pantherdoesn’t quite hit the mark and is suffers from its pressure “to stand for something bigger than itself.”
That one “meh” review ofBlack Pantherwas enough tobring the aggregate downto 99 percent, which is still awesome. As of this writing, there are 78 reviews ofBlack Pantheron Rotten Tomatoes, 77 of which are “fresh.” The one 3-star review was enough to bring it down 1 percent and fans are pretty angry about it already. However, with a movie as highly rated asBlack Pantheris, it sets up expectations for fans that are almost impossible to deal with.
Out of all of the reviews forBlack Panther, one of the only common complaints is thatT’Challa is too perfect. There’s no flaws in the character, which makes automatic comparisons toSuperman. Some flaws are always good in a story and they help to push a stronger narrative, but is it really necessary to knock a character for being too perfect? This is a superhero movie that we’re talking about here. T’Challa may be based off of real-life, but the story is taken from a comic book where it’s ok to have the hero be perfect and somebody to look up to.
Black Pantherhits theaters on February 16th and some “fans” of the DCEU are planning to hit Rotten Tomatoes with a blast ofnegative reviewsas retribution for all of the hate thatJustice LeagueandBatman v Supermanendured. The group had a page on Facebook that was recently taken down and Rotten Tomatoes says that they will take down any reviews that contain hate speech, but it already may be too late.Black Pantherwasn’t going to remain perfect for too long and we all know that it wasn’t going to last once the “fans” get ahold of it. you may check out all of the reviews forBlack PantheratRotten Tomatoes.
