Black Panther Reviews: 12 Early Reactions You Need To See

10. Praise For Shuri

It seems like the praise for Chadwick Boseman's T'Challa is being left largely unspoken (there's very little mention of him, but that may be because it's not his debut), but there are a couple of stand-out characters who've picked up the lion's share of praise.

Erik Killmonger has gone down well (more of which later), but particular praise has been heaped on the film's presentation of female characters and predominantly T'Challa's sister Shuri, played by Laetitia Wright.

By the sound of it, she's a blend of genius and comedy...

Praise elsewhere has also picked out Danai Gurira's Okoye.
