"The best Marvel film yet." Wow.

After being introduced in Captain America: Civil War, the final credits promised us a standalone Black Panther film and after that first trailer dropped, we've been absolutely pumped to see what's in store. Given that Ryan Coogler (Creed, Fruitvale Station) is one of the most talented directors around, we've got high hopes for Black Panther and it seems that Coogler has exceeded expectations. 2018 is a big year for Marvel - see, they've got this tiny film calledAvenegers: Infinity War - Part One coming out, but they've got the year off to a flying start because the first reactions to Black Panther are in and some critics are already calling it the best film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). After Thor: Ragnarok gave us the funniest film in the MCU since Guardians of the Galaxy, it appears that Black Panther has provided us with the best villain. If you're a fan of the Marvel films then you'll know just how big a deal that is because plenty of their films have suffered from the lack of an interesting antagonist.

Well, the revolution is here and people are loving it. https://twitter.com/ErikDavis/status/958218220153917440 https://twitter.com/mikeryan/status/958218581799469056 https://twitter.com/adambvary/status/958219541674262528 https://twitter.com/AshCrossan/status/958219273884786688 https://twitter.com/frankpallotta/status/958218644437250048 https://twitter.com/slashfilm/status/958219815943995392 https://twitter.com/briantruitt/status/958219092439248897 https://twitter.com/TheOtherScottM/status/958219695533928448 https://twitter.com/DorianParksnRec/status/958216833957376001 https://twitter.com/dave_schilling/status/958217251705909248 https://twitter.com/NukeTheFridge/status/958217799742009344 https://twitter.com/shawnxmadden/status/958218332452171776 https://twitter.com/GeeksOfColor/status/958219045081309184 In case you need a reminder, Black Panther follows T'Challa who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T'Challa's mettle as king — and Black Panther — is tested when he is drawn into a formidable 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 and their way of life." Cast: Chadwick Boseman, Michael B Jordan, Lupita Nyong'o, Andy Serkis, Forest Whitaker, Angela Bassett, Martin Freeman, Director: Ryan Coogler In cinemas: February 16, 2018. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjDjIWPwcPU
