I got rid of the poll because people were disagreeing with me and we definitely can't have that.

I did not vote as I have not seen the movie (I might give it a shot once it's out on video) but I have a feeling the critics etc are overpraising the movie pretty much like they did with Wonder Woman(for the record... Wonder Woman is still one of the best super hero movies but it's nothing amazing level or anything when comparing it to all movies I have seen which is ultimately how I judge movies and everyone should this way as I don't believe in scoring a movie high just because it's good for it's genre as it's got to be great straight up to get high praise from me). like how that was basically the first good super hero movie with a female lead this one is, supposedly, the first good movie with black leads.
with that said... given my impression from the trailers on TV I am not expecting much from it. but who knows, maybe this is one of those movies that's better than it appears.

I didn't find his performance very convincing at all and felt he ruined a potentially strong villain.

darksidebeadle I would not be surprised if there are some who will say 'No' because of that type of stuff. but then again there could be some who vote 'No' if they feel the movie is overpraised because of the whole black leads sort of thing and then automatically rebel against it on that alone (like how some seem to rebel against super popular movies in general etc). even I think it's plausible that's the case with the black leads/cast earning it the overly high praise it seems to be getting with critics etc. but even if that claim there was 100% accurate... I would still give my honest opinion of the movie(or performance) regardless as I am not going to lower my score for a movie just because it's popular or raise my score for a movie because I feel it's underrated. like I already mentioned in my initial post, I did not vote in the poll since I have not seen the movie (yet). but if I had to take a guess on my opinion of his performance... it's hard to say for sure, but I don't expect to be much either way of the neutral range (like maybe a mild positive or mildly negative or thereabouts) given this seems to be my general thing for the bulk of super hero characters in general. basically not many super hero characters/performances stand out, but I won't be surprised if he's passable though. but come to think of it, while not always the case... someones general performance can look better or worse depending on how good or bad the general movie is. just some thoughts  p.s. I thought Michael B. Jordan was decent enough in Creed though as if I had to rate that with a basic 'Yay or Nay', I would say Yay.

No, I think you either misread or do not understand what I said.. try again I am referring to when you comment when people disagree with majority opinion. Last week you called Cush's opinion bizarre and that is a common thing you do. I have seen you make comments like that a lot. In this case you just had to throw out the racist angle just to show me how wrong you think my opinion is in case Nay got a handful of votes. That is what it feels like anyway. |

But calling something bizarre.. is not rude, you need a chill pill dude, you go off the deep end a little too much and too easily.. just relax, its all fun and games here brother |

I got rid of the poll because people were disagreeing with me and we definitely can't have that. I felt he was miscast, I still saw him as a boxer in Creed(whiere he was actually good) despite the different hair in Black Panther--and some of his lines were cringeworthy, including the overpraised last line: because If his own ancestors actually really jumped, he never would have been born in the first place |

I hate to admit that darksidebeadle is right in this case. |

I really liked his swagger He does have swagger. The two aspects of the character he gets right are his swagger and his arrogance. What he doesn't convey well are inner emotions which are the driving point of his character and many of his line deliveries feel forced and unnatural. Those are the two aspects of Michael B. Jordan in general that hold him back from being convincing actor imo. I have the same problem with his performances in Fruitvale Station and Creed. |

I couldn't get past that stupid hairstyle. He was great in Creed and Friday Night Lights, though.

I hate to admit that darksidebeadle is right in this case. No he is not. I am so sick and tire of this crap. If you don't like the villain you must be racist. Yeah, or the movie is just overrated. I loved it. I am a huge MCU fan, but it was just another MCU movie. Not as good as Winter Soldier, Iron Man, Avengers, and a few others, but still one of the better ones. |
