"Black Panther" screened in a Los Angeles theater Monday night for a few lucky members of the press, and while the rest of us still have to wait a few more weeks to see Marvel's latest spectacle, at least we can rest assured that it's pretty damn good.
"'Black Panter' is the best Marvel film ever made," tweeted Nate Brail, the executive editor at Heroic Hollywood. "Nothing compares to it. Michael B. Jordan and Letitia Wright steal the show. The visuals are incredible. Go see it."

Black Panther was incredible, and powerful and everything we need right now. The words “cultural phenomenon” have never felt more appropriate. Everyone pleaseeeee do yourself a favor and go see it.

BLACK PANTHER, my goodness.

Black Panther was so FANTASTIC. Honestly the excitement I felt in Hall H last year was only elevated by seeing the whole film. The cheers in the theater throughout the movie were electric. Particularly, seeing @DanaiGurira on the big screen CRUSHING IT was my favorite. See it!!!

#BlackPanther is all you want and more. Unlike any Marvel movie to date, great villain in @michaelb4jordan, @chadwickboseman is regal as he is badass and @DanaiGurira is all I want to be in life. Can't wait to see this one again with a new audience. pic.twitter.com/y0MpJLGeBH

BLACK PANTHER is just astonishing. Ryan Coogler has harnessed the superhero movie — and a really fun one! — to explore profound ideas and create vivid images of black excellence that so rarely ever make it to a giant Hollywood movie. Wow wow wow!
@adambvary
And one more thing on #BlackPanther: if we don't make @letitiawright and @DanaiGurira massive superstars, then our society will collapse.
@Lulamaybelle
I was right. I am forever changed. Ryan Coogler is forever the realest for this. #BlackPanther doesn't even feel like a #Marvel movie. This is a good thing. pic.twitter.com/peBHeiSun5

Something else I love about 'Black Panther' is Ryan Coogler found an organic way to talk about important real world issues without it feeling preachy or fake. That's hard to do in any movie but to make it work in a big #Marvel movie is even more impressive. #LongLiveTheking pic.twitter.com/lHHicc1Mxw

#BlackPanther is a love letter about blackness, to a world that often ghettoizes it without realizing that it is on black backs that this planet revolves.

Black Panther looks, feels and sounds unlike any Marvel film to date. A visual feast. Wakanda is amazingly realized, the antagonist actually has an arc with emotional motivations. Marvels most political movie. So good. #BlackPanther
@slashfilm
Coogler does it again! 3 for 3 #blackpanther is thrilling, emotional and has one of the best villains in the MCU. Every character has purpose and it's a pure ride from start to finish. Great movie.
@KristianHarloff
I think the argument can be made for #BlackPanther being the best Marvel film ever! Just got out of premiere & overwhelmed at the imagery, the majesty, & a film that elevates the superhero genre to new heights. pic.twitter.com/LSkWEconB4

Ladies and gentlemen we have an AMAZING villain. #BlackPanther was so good I can't breathe. AND DANAI GURIRA HOLY F@$&?!?!? I LOVE this movie. pic.twitter.com/eMOZTdIMQv

BLACK PANTHER is incredible, kinetic, purposeful. A superhero movie about why representation & identity matters, and how tragic it is when those things are denied to people. The 1st MCU movie about something real; Michael B. Jordan's Killmonger had me weeping and he's the VILLAIN
@jenyamato
Like for real Michael B Jordan's Killmonger is the new Heath Ledger's Joker. The standard.
