Black Panther elevates superhero cinema to thrilling new heights while telling one of the MCU’s most absorbing stories — and introducing some of its most fully realized characters
Black Panther” is the superhero movie we didn’t know we needed. It’s got everything: action, adventure, and a killer soundtrack. Plus, the costumes are on point. But what really sets it apart is the way it tackles important issues like racism and oppression. It’s not just a movie, it’s a cultural movement. And let’s be real, who doesn’t want to see Michael B. Jordan shirtless?

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.

You could feel like everybody felt like they were making something that they were really proud of.

TOP CRITIC
But Black Panther was a moment, not just for Marvel fans and Disney stans, but it was the rare instance of a film purporting itself to be a cultural movement, and succeeding.

I want us to love on Black Panther, bravely and openly. But, we cannot forget the asterisk. We cannot forget that a significant achievement for black representation once again came on the back of forced black queer silence.

Black Panther gives off a contemporary crackle while staying true to its roots, both African and Marvel.

Black Panther feels as much like a moment as it does a movie.

Cultural Conversation
The film has an unabashed and defiant political viewpoint, supplementing its superhero genre mechanics with a relevant commentary on history, racism, and human injustice

Deep Focus Review
It’s also a breath of fresh air for the cinematic universe its set in, one that has developed a few bad habits over the years, one that also needed a fresh perspective, and a divergence from the grander threads a play in the narrative.

[It] showed not only was there audience appetite for a big-budget black superhero flick, but there was appetite for one that grappled with modern societal challenges like isolationism, oppression, and technological disparity.
