I guess I just heavily disagree with the reviews and feel that its just an average marvel movie with a good villain. I seriously don't understand how it managed to be the best reviewed comic book movie of all time on Metacritic.

Because it's a by the numbers biopic, rushed to produce a sterilized account of Freddie Mercury's life.
Black Panther feels uniquely generic. I'm not saying it was bad from a Marvel or standard movie standpoint but outside of its subject matter, the rest of the movie was middle of the road solid. And there's nothing wrong with that.
See this is where I'm conflicted, I think it should be a applauded for it's commercial success and heralded as a gateway movie about black folks that's not some by the numbers Tyler Perry clownin' bullshit however, by my own optics of movie quality it's nomination almost feels token. This is where I'm conflicted.
Then again, I'm not sure I've seen enough movies this year to say that BP shouldn't be nominated, might just be a weak year.
I haven't seen all the other movies. Just wanted to show appreciation for Jordan's work. My post was mostly tongue in cheek though.
That's... not how it works. Black Panther being critically acclaimed is an unarguable fact. Your personal opinion is not important in that regard.
You literally just said, "The movie isn't critically acclaimed because I disagree with the critics."
Of course, the fact that you already said this only got nominated to appease black people, which is disgustingly racist, tells me all I need to know about you.
For the Golden Globes or an Academy Award nomination in a pool of nine, it isn't. Using the old format it would be very surprising.
Chalamet and Driver aren't entirely safe at the Oscars, I would bet Sam Elliott gets nominated in place of Chalamet. Then it becomes a fight between Driver and Michael B Jordan.
Honestly, I feel Rockwell/Chalamet/Jordan/Driver are all fringe nominees at this point and Elliott/Grant/Ali are the locks come Oscar time. So pick any 2 of the 4 and none would surprise me.
Oh yeah absolutely, its sad that it took until 2018 for this to happen and it knocked down barriers that should have been knocked down 50 years ago in Hollywood. Where I don't believe it deserves best picture I wouldn't be opposed to it getting a 10-15 minute special recognition of the doors it has opened for black actors and directors going forward.
It's a 2 hour movie. You can't fit everything in there. What would you have added or changed to make it better?
What a piss-poor year for movies.
And if Lady Gaga wins best actress, what a massive nosedive in quality it'll be from last years winner Frances McDormand.

Two and a half. Having just seen it, I feel it deserves it. A lot of love went into that film, it's powerful stuff.
Just using an example, but Steve Jobs did away with feeling the need to cover his whole life and focus on 3 specific moments. As is, Bohemian Rhapsody felt more content to give an excuse to go through the entire Queen catalog, which to their credit, worked out tremendously for them from a financial perspective.
But it's nominated alongside Blackkklansman and Beale Street. They could've easily told Black Panther to fuck off and went with those two instead if they merely wanted to throw us a bone.
Maybe
just
MAYBE
a lot of people in Hollywood actually liked it and thought it deserved a nomination?
Yep. One of the best performances of the year and a totally deserving win if she pulls through.
Yeah it's odd it didn't get in there after all the love. Lots of weird misses for other films in categories they were supposed to be slam dunks in like Yorgos for director, Spike Lee for screenplay and Beale Street for score.
That's what Queen is though. They're famous because of their music so of course they would want to add in as much as they could. It still went through the darker aspects of Freddy's life which would eventually lead to his death.
One of them was also directed by a child molester and it wasn't Black Panther.

Black panther being nominated is bad enough but if it wins I'll literally never take these awards seriously again. It's a good superhero film not even tops in its genre. I can't tell if this is just a mix of Hollywood finally recognizing that superhero films are legitimate movies and black panther being good and influential or just Disney pushing the full hype machine.
A star is born deserves to win but idk if it will since it's a remake.

There were a lot of baffling nominations here for nearly every movie that should have been shoe-ins. Only Green Book and Vice maxed out with their nomination chances. ASIB missing Elliott and Screenplay. Blackkklansman missing screenplay. The Favourite missing director. Mary Poppins missing original song.
And I think Vice will be American Hustle'd at the Oscars - lots of noms but not much love.
Hoping that this doesn't mean Driving Miss Daisy 2.0 wins BP.
Bohemian Rhapsody gets nominated over First Man? Ridiculous. Do you guys know if The Death of Stalin qualifies for this year or last year? I believe it came out in the US this year while having a release late last year. Sorry to Bother You also MIA? Geez.
I love Gaga as a singer, but her acting in the movie for me came across as very amateurish and forgettable.
He held up the production, because originally it was set to be a more somber film focused on Freddie's life starring Sacha Baron Cohen. He left the project because Brian was more concerned with perserving the clean image of Queen.

Bohemian Rhapsody was a complete mess and doesn't belong anywhere near a best motion picture list.
Sure, but adding in as much of their music as possible doesn't necessarily make a better film. The film is also fairly content with rewriting history in terms of how things happened.
I'm not begrudging Queen or the filmmakers for the route they took, it's more on the Globes side.
You summed up my feelings on this as well. But I also think this was a pretty weak year for movies. I'd have a hard time finding 10 films to put in my best of 2018 list.
I was hoping for a best actress nomination for Toni Collette in Hereditary.
I'm with you on the bolded. I wouldn't say "atrocious", just meh, but nomination-worthy? Come on.
Won't somebody show John Cho some love.
Yes, I'm aware of screeners, I just could've sworn Golden Globe nominations use to come out until later in the month.
