Black Panther Reviews: 10 Critical Reactions You Need To See
7. Visually Stunning
"When Black Panther works, it’s thrillingly alive, whether it’s the dazzling colours of the vivid costumes by Ruth E. Carter (Selma) - in Wakanda, the Basotho blankets emit force-fields - or the eclectic and vibrant music choices; the score by Ludwig Goransson (Get Out) vacillates smoothly between European strings and African percussion and woodwinds, while the songs put Kendrick Lamar and The Weeknd side by side with South African performers like Babes Wodumo and Sjava." - The Wrap
"Many of the major attributes of these movies are their spectacular special effects, set designs, costumes, cinematography - and Black Panther doesn't disappoint. It is splendidly endowed with awesome wizardry." - Kaplan vs Kaplan
It isn't just Black Panther's cast that has garnered widespread acclaim. The crew has also been lauded for delivering what many are calling the most visually stunning addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date.
From the movie's trailers, it was clear Wakanda is a world of vivid colours, ground-breaking technology and stunning vistas, and reviewers have singled out cinematographer Rachel Morrison for her work bringing the African nation to life.
This beautiful backdrop is offset against eye-popping wardrobe work from costume designer Ruth E. Carter, whose outfit choices have added even more colour and vibrancy to Black Panther, also seen in the trailers and reflected in the reviews.
