“BLACK PANTHER is one of the best films to come out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

“BLACK PANTHER entertains, emotionally stirs, and thoughtfully provokes its audience with the swagger and confidence of an instant classic. And a meaningful one, at that.” – Greg Vellante, Edge Boston

“If you are invested in art as a political force, then you will be able to stand up cheering at BLACK PANTHER too.” – Deirdre Crimmins, Daily Grindhouse

“As with very few in the genre, this is a game-changer.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

“This is by far the most visually exciting Marvel adventure yet, eschewing their usual drab airport parking lots and stairwell fights in favor of grand, eye-popping colors courtesy of Coogler’s FRUITVALE STATION cinematographer Rachel Morrison and glorious costume designs by DO THE RIGHT THING’s legendary Ruth E. Carter.” – Sean Burns, Spliced Personality

“…most important of all, the film carries a potent vision of the future liberated by an imaginary paradise of a past.” – Joyce Kulhawik, Joyce’s Choices
