So far the critics love this new Marvel film.
Peter Travers of Rolling Stone writes “Thrillingly and thoughtfully directed and written (with Joe Robert Cole) by Ryan Coogler, the film lights up the screen with a full-throttle blast of action and fun. That’s to be expected.”
Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly writes that “It’s hard to find a weak spot in the stacked cast, even the ones who only have a few brief scenes.”
Marvel’s Black Panther will be released in the United States on February 16.
