‘Black Panther’ First Reactions: Marvel Hits Another Homerun

The Marvel marketing machine is now plenty familiar. When the studio is confident — and they often are — their latest blockbuster will screen early for select critics, and they’ll allow them to hit social media to share their thoughts. This creates advance hype for the picture, which is then bolstered by the positive, full length reviews that arrive just before the movie opens to blockbuster success. So it goes with “Black Panther,” the latest success from Marvel.

Last night, the superhero flick screened for critics, and there were allowed to share their thoughts just a few hours later. As you might guess, the praise is overwhelming, with some calling “Black Panther” Marvel’s best movie yet.

Check out all the reactions to the film below, including one from our own Rodrigo Perez, along with a new “Black Panther” promo featuring some fresh footage and the first clip from the movie.

“Black Panther” opens on February 16th.
