I watched "Darkest Hour" this weekend and while I agree Oldman is amazing, I didn't like the movie all that much. It's about 30 minutes too long and really drags.
I went to see "The Post" as well. Streep is amazing (as always) and it is good movie, but it's not a classic and I'd be surprised if it does much at the Oscars. Tom Hanks is one of my favorite actors, but I didn't think he did a very good job here.
I also got a screener of "3 Billboards" and really liked it. Unique movie and the acting is great. I don't want to give spoilers, but I didn't really understand the Woody Harrelson plot line, although it doesn't detract from the overall movie.
Really late to the party, but just watched Spotlight. What a great movie.

Best movie of the year so far: Black Panther.
I’m really looking forward to Infinity War in May, but it’s going to have a hard time topping Black Panther.
The only complaint I have is I think Ulysses Klaue was basically wasted as a secondary character. “Klaw” was Black Panthers main enemy in the comics and the opportunity to develop that in the film didn’t happen. That said, Michael B Jordan did excellent as Kilmonger.

Agreed. Black Panther was great. A part of me was irritated that they hadn't already set a movie like this in a different culture with said culture playing all the main roles. It made the story feel more interesting and unique to see set pieces in Oakland and "Wakanda"/Africa without white characters taking all the focus and relegating more interesting voices to secondary characters.
Black Panther was fantastic.
Another vote for Black Panther. Entertaining as a “popcorn movie” and Beautiful to look at as a piece of artwork. Chadwick Boseman is pretty ripped for a guy who’s north of 40.
Stick to your guns.

They may not do this in the movies, but in the comics she eventually becomes Queen and the new Black Panther while T'Challa becomes King of the Dead.
Loved "Black Panther". I'm not a huge comic book movie person, but this one was great all the way around.
3/4 of the way through Black Panther was one of the best movies Ive seen.
Then it dissolved into the loud war and fight scenes that are typical with Marvel movies. It’s like watching a Star Wars battle scene, just enough already.
Overall good film, enjoyed Klaw more than Warmonger.
