Black Panther Reviews: 12 Early Reactions You Need To See

8. Wakanda Is Amazing

As the red carpet premiere proved with its stunning, opulent tribute to Coogler's vision of Wakanda, the land of Black Panther's birth is a character in itself, and the new movie has captured that idea with stunning effect.

A number of the reviews make brief comments about how beautiful or stunning the film looks, with special mention of how great Wakanda is. And given Marvel's agenda to travel to new, exotic worlds in Phase 4, the fact that they've nailed this is a good stepping stone.

And the good news is we get to see more of it in Infinity War.

There's even talk that the film's production design deserves even more than critical acclaim (more of which later).
