Black Panther began screening for critics tonight. Reviews are embargoed until February 6, but social media reactions are allowed as of 10:00pm PST this evening. See what the critics think of the eighteenth feature film from Marvel Studios.
We begin with my own reaction, followed by several others. Get your tickets now. This one is going to be big!
#BlackPanther seizes the throne & wears the crown well as @MarvelStudios’ monarch. It offers even more emotional heft than the trailers promised, dazzling action, mesmerizing VFX, & exquisite costume & production design. One of the most beautifully crafted blockbusters ever made. pic.twitter.com/I62v53uF7Y

Wow. Black Panther is the best MCU movie ever. I’m not even being biased. This was by far the best marvel movie to date. #BlackPanther

#BlackPantherSoLit is everything the culture is asking for. There's no need to say anything more. Don't let anyone spoil even a second for you. Just make sure you have a ticket.

#BlackPanther is black, beautiful and proud. A gorgeously shot film with heart, action, and a message that is so needed today. The women shine bright, bold and strong and are everything women of color have been denied… till now. #RyanCoogler is a genius. LONG LIVE THE KING!! pic.twitter.com/oYHxk0qg4G

BLACK PANTHER is just astonishing. Ryan Coogler has harnessed the superhero movie — and a really fun one! — to explore profound ideas and create vivid images of black excellence that so rarely ever make it to a giant Hollywood movie. Wow wow wow!

#BlackPanther: in a word, wow.

Ryan Coogler knocked it out of the park, some great sequences presented in a “single take/shot.” If this movie isn’t nominated for costume, art and production design awards next year, I would be seriously shocked. #blackpanther

#marvel does it again with 'Black Panther'. Very impressed with the story and filmmaking. @michaelb4jordan absolutely kills it as the villain and is the best one since Loki. Also @DanaiGurira kicks so much ass and I loved every second of it. Going to make serious $. pic.twitter.com/YBrg2x3Nnz

The best part of #BlackPanther is how it unravels this deeply emotional & complex story about family ties & protecting your tribe. While lots will tout Michael B. Jordan as the stand-out, my favs were Danai Gurira & especially BP's lil sis, Letitia Wright pic.twitter.com/VSEwa98BnI
