Although many movies have been released with black actors as the main role, however, the release of The Black Panther was a start of something new & different. Of course, not everybody could accept the fact that Marvel cast a black actor as the leading character in the movie.
Yes, I admit that Black Panther wasn’t something exceptional, but it’s definitely hard to deny the fact that the entire cast of the movie was black and they surely did a fantastic job, it was a massive production!
Apart from that, it surely grabbed a lot of attention plus made a lot of money too!

The quality of the movie surely left everybody talking, however, it did receive a lot of criticism too, which is expected. What can you expect from people who are claiming that Justice League was better than Black Panther? Seriously?
After taking a look at the critic’s review of Marvel’s foray into Wakanda done by Kyle Smith, Astead Wesley of the Boston Globe noticed that movies featuring black actors are not something Mr. Smith would appreciate.

So, Astead started to share Smith’s opinions about featuring African American artists. Be it actors, directors, artists or producers; he pointed out the entire community.

And this movie is a hell of a lot more radical than Selma https://t.co/ahKlyjTPY9

The Birth of a Nation film was an incredible injustice to black and American history. Turner’s identity was completely reinvented and the slave rebellion wasn’t appropriately highlighted. That movie was a sham riddled with historical inaccuracies.

He liked Hidden Figures, possibly by accident

I assure you I’ve said far more disobliging things about George Clooney movies than I have about Spike Lee’s.

Do you think he’s being racist? What is your opinion on his reviews?
