Black Panther just recently made its global premiere, and now it looks like Marvel's first all-black superhero film's raking in great reviews from fans and critics.
Early (and thankfully spoiler-free) reactions to Chadwick Boseman's first standalone film as Black Panther have made their way online, and as expected the reviews has been full of love.
Not only has the film been praised as "stunning" and "astonishing" but there have also been descriptions of "iconic performances" and the exploration of "profound ideas."
It seems like Black Panther is living up to the hype that it's brought the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not only are fans happy that the film's brought representation into Marvel's superhero world, but they're also glad to see that the film "has an actual sense of identity and history and musicality."
Twitter has also been praising the women of Wakanda, talking about how they steal the show.
Based on the first reactions to the film, it seems like Marvel's been able to make a movie with depth, tackling the topic of representation and identity with aplomb. It really seems like Black Panther's living up to the hype it's brought the MCU.
Here's the synopsis for the film:
"After the death of his father, T'Challa returns home to the African nation of Wakanda to take his rightful place as king. When a powerful enemy suddenly reappears, T'Challa's mettle as king -- and as Black Panther -- gets tested when he's drawn into a conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people."
Black Panther comes clawing into cinemas on February 16, 2018.
