Jenna Marotta indieWire Each man and woman...is resplendent in Ruth Carter's traditional costumes. Indigenous dialects are spoken amid the space flights, museum heists, and car chases. Mar 31, 2020 Full Review Lawrence Ware New York Times "Black Panther" lived up to the hype. Jan 9, 2019 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review You could feel like everybody felt like they were making something that they were really proud of. Aug 28, 2018 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Pushing aside the proclivity to have a empowered science nerd or a plucky quipster as its heroic lead, a Marvel film hasn’t been this brawny, righteous, and tough. Rated: 5/5 Feb 16, 2024 Full Review Jennifer Bisset CNET Marvel movies proved they could keep on evolving with Ryan Coogler's Black Panther. The 2018 film bucked the superhero formula with its Afro-futurist setting, family saga and James Bond gadgetry. Apr 20, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy A heady mix of William Shakespeare and Walt Disney -- and with a few James Bond gadgets added to sweeten the deal -- it ventures far beyond wham-bam-thank-you-Stan territory. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 22, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
