| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyIn his fictionalized story, Van Peebles simplifies the history of the Black Panthers, doing harm to a subject that he presumably intends to honor. Panther suffers from the same narrative and stylistic problems that has plagued his earlier films. |

| User ReviewLee MI saw this movie in late 80"s I believe. It was very, very instrumental to my situation. At the time my older brother had been preaching (he wasn't a preacher, though) about the main reasons drugs were being introduced to the Black community, however, despite this knowing and belief, my brother was also a user. After seeing this movie I began to understand what my brother had been preaching to me was indeed his and many Black Americans' nightmare. He was living this movie. Thank God, he never got as bad as Bobby Brown in the movie. "Panther" not only warns the Black Community, It is an eye opener for blacks, whites, browns and whoever will listen. This master- conjured- up- plan truly did back-fire. Excellent, directing, casting, etc. A must see. |

| User ReviewCresswell SGreat movie about the Black Panther movment. Not to be missed |
| User ReviewBrandon R"It only takes a single grain of sand to move the world" A must see movie, if not then read the book it was based off of. "Revolutionary Suicide" |
| User ReviewBrian FThis is one of my favorite movies of all time Every young Black Person and Especially every young Black Person from Oakland should see this movie. 2 young black men from Oakland California got together with their friends and created a force that was felt around the world. I agree with others who have rated this movie when they said that they stopped printing it but its just like Dr. Huey P. Newton said " When the oppressed raise up against their oppressors people are going to get scared" ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!! |
| User ReviewKarsia SThis story should have been told a long time ago. It was well depicted and the acting was great. |
