Admittedly, its not a phenomenon that the first response to a Marvel movie is one of general enthusiasm.

ButBlack Panthermarks a milestone thats been long coming.
Black Pantherhits theaters on Feb. 16.
Read more reviews below.
Alonso Duralde (The Wrap)Black Pantherfeatures at least one sequence that out-007s the recent James Bond movies.
That it is only Cooglers third film makes it all the more impressive.
Angie Han (Mashable)At the end of the day,Black Pantheris just another movie.
David Ehrlich (IndieWire)Black Pantheris different.
It wouldnt be a Marvel production without manly skirmishes and digital avatars.
And in doing so opens up its world, and yours, beautifully.
Joelle Monique (Polygon)Black Pantheris the best Marvel film thus far.
Aside from the incredible representation and the gorgeous visuals, the story is terrific.
I have never cared for a villain the way I care for Michael B. Jordans Erik Killmonger.
Killmonger is as attractive as he is intimidating.
But Jordan wasnt hired for just his sex appeal.
That sharp eye and wounded heart shine through a tough exterior to illuminate a real human being.
He is the crown jewel of an incredibly wealthy project.
Mike Ryan (UPROXX)Its obvious Ryan Coogler didnt directBlack Pantherto make an action movie.
Instead, its a dense movie about family, community, internal struggle, and external struggle.
And its a movie with a lot on its mind.
Thats to be expected.
But what sneaks up and floors you is the films racial conscience and profound, astonishing beauty.
The result feels revolutionary.
