The review embargo has lifted for all the critics who saw Marvel's
BLACK PANTHER last week at its big premiere. While our local press screener is not until Tuesday of next week — and we will have a spoiler-free review for you as soon as we can — here is a look at some of the first reviews that are hitting the web right now. (Click on the source link to read the full review.)
"We didn't know we'd been yearning for it until it arrived, but now that it's here it's unmistakable that the wait for a film like "Black Panther" has been way longer than it should have been." -- LATimes
"Black Panther celebrates its hero's heritage while delivering one of Marvel's most all-around appealing standalone installments to date." -- Variety
"Ryan Coogler's Black Panther is one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most powerful, moving, and thematically resonant films to date. It's also one of its most uneven, when all is said and done." -- CinemaBlend
"As a nerd and as a black man, I've been waiting for this movie for my entire life, whether I knew it or not. The fact that Black Panther gets so much right, but one crucial thing wrong, is both thrilling and maddening." -- Nerdist
"Thank God for the women beside [Boseman], including his regal mother Ramonda (Angela Bassett), brainiac baby sister Shuri (Letitia Wright), and fearless warrior-protector Okoye (Danai Gurira). They're indomitable, and so gorgeously, vividly drawn." -- EW
"It's gripping, funny, and full of spectacle, but it also feels like a turning point, one where the studio has finally recognized that its movies can be about more than just selling the next installment." -- TheVerge
"While many Marvel films feel like small pieces of a larger story, Black Panther is an entire cinematic universe unto itself." -- ScreenCrush
"The initial Twitter responses hailing it as a 'masterpiece' go way overboard... [but Coogler] assembled one of the finest acting lineups ever recruited for a Marvel movie--or any genre outing, for that matter." -- DenOfGeek
"Like 'Wonder Woman' last year, 'Black Panther' is a project that fans have been waiting decades to see. And just like 'Wonder Woman,' it was worth the wait." -- BusinessInsider
BLACK PANTHER releases in the U.S. on February 16.
