Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is now playing in theaters, and that means the movie has a CinemaScore!

As you can see below, Ryan Coogler's Black Panther sequel has been awarded a mighty A grade. That makes it Marvel Studios' highest-rated release of 2022, beating Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love and Thunder's still respectable B+.

Now, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever joins a club that includes titles like Avengers: Infinity War, Captain America: Civil War, and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. 

Black Panther received an A+ grade, but also has a slightly higher Rotten Tomatoes score. The 2018 movie still sits at 96%, while the sequel has 84%. This is a big win for Marvel Studios, however, and all signs point to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever having one of the biggest openings of 2022 in North America this weekend.

Of course, it's worth noting that a CinemaScore doesn't really count for much and is only based on a very small percentage of paying moviegoers. Despite that, it offers a good indication of what people think about a movie like this one and bodes well for word of mouth being positive both this weekend and in the weeks to come. 

Black Adam, in comparison, received a B+ and fell off a cliff during its second weekend.

"Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ranks among Marvel Studios' best movies, and is an emotional, uplifting, tour de force of a blockbuster," we said in our latest review of the movie. "Letitia Wright delivers a powerhouse performance, while Angela Bassett’s majestic work will leave you reeling."

How would you guys rate the Black Panther sequel? Let us know in the comments section and keep checking back here for more on the Marvel Studios movie.

Just saw it yesterday. Definitely was impressed with how they handled the movie without Chadwick. The tribute to him was great as well.

I'll be in the theatre watching it in a few hours and see if it lives up to all the hype. Really don't think I will be disappointed though.

Very impressed by how good it was. Didn't absolutely love it or anything, but I mean, I just appreciate how they managed to make a movie this good with everything that happened.

Namor was the best thing in the film, can't wait for him to come back (and maybe hit on Sue Storm, lol).

And for a movie called Black Panther, it's funny how they don't focus on that name until like, the last 20 minutes of the film.

The REAL audience score, RT has become a joke, shitposters just "postive review bomb" movies now.

@TheHumanSpider2 - why are you made that no jack who hasn’t seen the movie can’t just review bomb anymore?

@TheHumanSpider2 - the positive review bombs are the counter to organized negative review bombs, which has been going on very publicly for years. But yes, all audience scores these days from any website are useless.

@2050 - Accusations of review bombs have been going on for years, but the evidence doesn't back it up. You'll find lots of articles and people in chat threads claiming it to be true but when looking for proof it's almost impossible to find any.

@WarMonkey @PantherKing - You actually think people considers Morbius and Black Adam are 9/10? FFS, both of them bombed at the BO.
WarMonkey
WarMonkey - 11/12/2022, 12:27 PM
@TheHumanSpider2 - People that saw it maybe, not many went to see them. So people more inclined to enjoy and then rate them went then people that wouldn't I assume.

Lots of smaller movies have similar pattern. Kinda like the latest Mortal Kombat movie that really was badly made and written but has a high audience score because people more inclined to like it went then those that wouldn't. I would rate that higher then it deserves too just cause I enjoy it existing and want more even though I think it was a bad movie, so a 7.9 instead of a 6.5 I would rate it. Or new Predator I would give an 8 instead of more accurate 7.4.

@TheHumanSpider2 - BTW I agree with you, I stopped using RT to gauge if I'll like a movie or not years ago. I find IMDB number system and then their User Reviews sorted by "review date" as the best way now for me.

2050 - 11/12/2022, 1:09 PM
@WarMonkey - There were lots of evidence. I mean, the first Black Panther and Captain Marvel was review bombed before the movie came out. Most of the world didn’t see the movie yet but somehow got negative reviews anyhow. That’s pretty clear cut.
2050
2050 - 11/12/2022, 1:24 PM
@WarMonkey - in fact, there were Facebook groups (and 4Chan, and Reddit….) set up to organize campaigns before their removal:



These things aren’t exactly secret stuff.
WarMonkey

@2050 - Before Capt. marvel came out the site had a poll about if people were excited and planning on seeing it. The poll had been there forever. People did the poll and said they weren't excited and then all the accusations about review bombing began. It used to be a poll that could be used to gauge the general interest of the public.

How many likes and shares does that thing above have? That's just a photo of something someone made and could be real or fake and just one person made it. The actual evidence is hard to find, but accusations are everywhere.

@WarMonkey - Something tells me you weren’t around when some of this stuff went down. They were a real group and very well known one at that that went after Star Wars as well. Eventually growing discontent had these groups shut down on the popular sites but they still exist elsewhere. Like I said, this is pretty well known stuff.

In fact, these many groups made waves all over the place before they were shut down on the popular sites:

@2050 - positive review bombing predates negative review bombing
Toblakai

@2050 - those movies also had massive positive review campaigns which is weird for the same reason....people hadnt seen them and yet.

@2050 - (As of this writing, 3,700 people have said they are going, while 1,800 said they are “interested”)

(In December, the group took credit for the low Rotten Tomatoes audience score for “The Last Jedi,” writing, “Thanks to friends of mine who taught me a thing or two about Bot Accounts, I used them to create this audience score through Facebook accounts created that subsequently logged into Rotten Tomatoes who rigged this score and still keep it dropping.”)
https://www.thewrap.com/alt-right-facebook-group-wants-to-sabotage-black-panther-rotten-tomatoes-score/

This info if from another article. So facts are that one guy is known to have created a Facebook page that took credit for TLJ's low ratings and he claims to have used bots and Facebook shut-down his page. No proof score was ever effected and RT knew which Facebooks accounts were attached to this page so they were removed.

This whole narrative was in 2018 and was used as an excuse for TLJ's low score when the news sites were trying to claim SW fans were racist and sexist as the excuse for what they reviewed and promoted as a great movie on their sites.

@Toblakai - No, the negative review bombings pre-date it. In fact, it got so bad that after the negative review bombings of Black Panther and Captain Marvel, RT had to overhaul how and when they accepted reviews.
2050
2050 - 11/13/2022, 8:38 AM
@WarMonkey - You’re assuming that was the only one. It was just one example that was caught before removal. There were many of these sites and campaigns that were removed.

Some of these negative review campaigns were so obvious that the negative reviews were added to the movie reviews BEFORE the movie came out. That’s why RT had to overhaul when they accepted reviews after it happened again with Captain Marvel. There really is no question about whether if review bombing occurred if massive negative reviews occurred before the movie is released and when it moves companies to overhaul their system, and there is no chance it has stopped since then.

The point is, going back to one of the earlier posts, there were TONS of examples and proof of review bombings. You can choose to ignore it if you wish, but some of this stuff is stuff is so egregious to the outside bystander that it’s hard to take any argument against it seriously.

@2050 - I searched google for bots and review bombs and this was the example that was used for every article going back all the way to 2018. The accusation was made and then repeated so often people think it's true but it's not. The only real thing that has had an effect on reviews are those snyder dudes who voted together for that award ceremony on tv.
Toblakai
Toblakai - 11/14/2022, 2:24 AM
@2050 - false. You don't get to rewrite history. The negative review bombings were a response to the positive review bombing done by the studios and media.

The movie functioned in high form as a sequel and origin for the new Panther while simultaneously dealing with the fallout of the first movie and Chadwick’s passing, on top of masterfully introducing Namor as a new key player in the MCU.

Also very impressed in how they did their take on Talocan (Atlantis), and how much thought went into developing their culture past just being an underwater kingdom of mermaids and musically inclined octopuses. Talocan actually felt, dare I say, realistic.

Good movie but not my favorite. I’d say 8 out of 10. I missed Chadwicks charm and charisma. That being said Namor is the best part of the film.
