Black Panther (2018) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) 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 Black Panther (2018) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Lawrence Ware New York Times "Black Panther" lived up to the hype. Jan 9, 2019 Full Review Black Panther (2018) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) 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 Black Panther (2018) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) 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 Black Panther (2018) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) 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 Black Panther (2018) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) 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

Amazing imagery Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/15/21 Full Review Quentin A perfect movie with a perfect cast and director! Had to see this multiple times in theaters, and bought it immediately on DVD. WAKANDA FOREVER!!! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/22/22 Full Review Steven B Writing was a little goofy but not terrible. I think the actors playing our main characters did an excellent job with what they were given. Michael B Jordan did a solid job making Killmonger look like a aggressive sociopath and Chadwick Bosmans Tchalla was awesome. A beautiful depiction of the Black Panther comic. It was one of the last great Marvel movies before thw travesty that is phase 4. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
