Just got back from seeing this at the Four Seasons theater. Had to pay for 3D tickets for the entire fam because everything else was sold out.
I will withhold my full review until after this weekend to prevent spoilers, but I will say that this movie might really be a game changer for black culture. The overall message and symbolism was that powerful.
I will also like to thank AggiePride for reaching out to his people beforehand and getting them to ease up on the shenanigans. The front lobby looked like the million man march, but once I got to my seat I was able to enjoy the film in total peace.

Black Panther’s Release Gives Howard University a Reason to Celebrate a Movie—and One of Its Own
WRITTEN BY BENJAMIN FREED | PUBLISHED ON FEBRUARY 16, 2018The hype around Black Panther, the newest superhero spectacle from Marvel Studios, is inescapable. The movie, which opens this weekend, is projected to blow away previous box-office benchmarks for comic-book adaptations, comes with soundtrack full of new songs by Kendrick Lamar, and has film critics calling it the best of Marvel’s 18 movies to date. But if there’s one place in Washington where the excitement’s most palpable, it might be the campus of Howard University, the country’s most prestigious historically black college—and, relevant to the movie’s opening, the alma mater of its star, Chadwick Boseman. “I know a lot of students are excited for the movie because of great reviews, but also that [Boseman’s] a fellow Bison,” says Jade Agudosi, the president of the Howard University Student Association. “Pretty much the buzz on campus has been, ‘Who’s going? How are we going?’” Black Panther would likely be a thrilling release for the Howard community had Marvel cast someone else in the title role. The fact that it is Boseman, though, has current students even more excited and those that knew him during his college days reflecting on their time working with him. Boseman graduated in 2000 from the theater program in what was then Howard’s College of Fine Arts. (It was later merged into the College of Arts and Sciences.) As a student, he majored in directing and pursued an early career as a playwright and director at theaters in New York and Chicago. But his coursework at Howard also required him to take at least a year of acting classes. “I found him to be talented, thoughtful, analytical,” says Vera Katz, who ran Howard’s directing program until 2001. “He wrote a play, which was quite good, and I was his advisor and I advocated that he put it on. Part of my grading was watching him at one rehearsal. He was a effective communicator. He used language well. So it was always clear to me that he was going to do something with directing and producing and acting.” Read more: www.washingtonian.com/2018/02/16/black-panther-howard-university-chadwick-boseman/

I'll be greeting folk like this for the rest of February: #WakandaForever Side note... If Mike London has any social sense, he'd be greeting Chadwick Boseman the same way real soon.
