	Media	Author	Review
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Ryan Coogler delivers the best Marvel movie so far (...) You might not be able to find Wakanda on a map, but this is the first Marvel movie that feels like it takes place in the real world."
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Say this about 'Black Panther', which raises movie escapism very near the level of art: You've never seen anything like it in your life (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)
		Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"A jolt of a movie (...) Most big studio fantasies take you out for a joy ride only to hit the same exhausted story and franchise-expanding beats. Not this one. (...) Race matters in 'Black Panther' and it matters deeply"
		Brian Truitt USA Today	"Spectacular new film (...) Black audiences will see themselves reflected in a way they haven’t before when the Marvel superhero makes his big-screen solo debut (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
		Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"This panther lands its prey: the audience. (...) There's no mistaking you're still in the Marvel universe here, but this entry sweeps you off to a part of it you've never seen"
		Peter Debruge Variety	"[It] improves on the formula in several key respects, from a politically engaged villain to an emotionally grounded final showdown."
		Jim Vejvoda IGN	"'Black Panther' delivers the goods as an adventure film, a political statement, and a cultural celebration (...) Overall 'Black Panther' is an exciting step forward for the MCU."
		Brian Lowry CNN	"Visually dynamic (...) Coogler and company have established Wakanda (...) as a marvel of production design, bringing organic life to its dense history and traditions."
		Scott Mendelson Forbes	"'Black Panther' is a triumph of universal appeal and demographic specificity. It is an engrossing action drama (...) As a piece of pop art, 'Black Panther' is a real marvel."
		Robbie Collin Telegraph	"Sometimes you have to see a thing in all its glory before you realise it’s been missing all this time. (...) A fresh perspective on a well-worn format (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"The intriguing thing about 'Black Panther' is that it doesn’t look like a superhero film – more a wide-eyed fantasy romance: exciting, subversive and funny (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
