<P> The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports an approval rating of 97% based on 364 reviews, with an average rating of 8.2 / 10 . The website's critical consensus reads, "Black Panther elevates superhero cinema to thrilling new heights while telling one of the MCU's most absorbing stories--and introducing some of its most fully realized characters ." As of February 18, 2018, it is the best - reviewed live - action superhero film on the site, beating The Dark Knight and Iron Man (both 94%). Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 88 out of 100, based on 55 critics, indicating "universal acclaim". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A +" on an A+ to F scale, the second superhero film to receive that grade after Marvel's own The Avengers . Filmgoers polled by Screen Engine / comScore's PostTrak service gave the film a 92% overall positive score and a 88% "definite recommend", with a third of people planning to see the film again . RelishMix reported that Twitter hashtags for #BlackPanther and tagging of the film's Twitter account from audiences leaving the theater set an all - time film record in its opening weekend, with 559,000 unique posts in one day . This was twice the amount The Last Jedi received in December 2017, with 232,000, while 100,000 posts for a film is average . </P> <P> Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "The actors are all seen to very good advantage . Boseman certainly holds his own, but there are quite a few charismatic supporting players here keen to steal every scene they can--and they do, notably the physically imposing Jordan, the radiant Nyong'o and especially Wright, who gives her every scene extra punch and humor ." Peter Debruge of Variety said, "Black Panther celebrates its hero's heritage while delivering one of Marvel's most all - around appealing standalone installments to date ." Manohla Dargis of The New York Times called Black Panther "a jolt of a movie", and said, "in its emphasis on black imagination, creation and liberation, the movie becomes an emblem of a past that was denied and a future that feels very present . And in doing so opens up its world, and yours, beautifully ." Kenneth Turan of Los Angeles Times said, "With dialogue that deftly explores serious questions, such as how much if anything do wealthy countries owe the poor and oppressed of the world, Black Panther draws energy from Coogler's sense of excitement at all he's attempting . The result is a superhero movie that's worth seeing twice, and that is a rare sighting indeed ." Richard Roeper, writing for the Chicago Sun - Times, called the film "one of the best superhero movies of the century" and said, "If you appreciate finely honed storytelling with a Shakespearean core; winning performances from an enormously talented ensemble; provocative premises touching on isolationism, revolution and cultures of oppression, and oh yeah, tons of whiz - bang action sequences and good humor--then you should see Black Panther ." </P> <P> Brian Truitt of USA Today awarded the film four out of four stars, and called it Marvel Studios' best origin film since Guardians of the Galaxy . Truitt also praised the "superb cast" and stated, "While the themes are deep, Black Panther is at the same time a visual joy to behold, with confident quirkiness, insane action sequences and special effects, and the glorious reveal of Wakanda, whose culture is steeped in African influences but which also offers a jaw - dropping look at what a city of the future could be ." Also giving the film four stars, Peter Travers of Rolling Stone called it "(un) like any other Marvel movie--an exhilarating triumph on every level from writing, directing, acting, production design, costumes, music, special effects to you name it ." Natasha Alford of The Grio said, "Black Panther is remarkable because this film is a movement, a revolution in progress, and a joy to experience all wrapped into one", and called it "a master class in what it means to be proud of who you are, where you have been and where you and your people are going ." Jamie Broadnax of Black Girl Nerds said Marvel "created a masterpiece with Black Panther", adding, "it's afro - futuristic and Blackity - black as hell . It's everything I've ever desired in a live - action version of this popular superhero and yet so much more . Quite frankly, the experience is indescribable ." Jamelle Bouie of Slate said, "it is fair to say that Black Panther is the most political movie ever produced by Marvel Studios, both in its very existence...and in the questions its story raises ." He added that the film should be included with Superman, Spider - Man 2 and The Dark Knight as a film in the superhero genre that does not "transcend the genre as much as they embrace it in all its respects ." Bouie concluded, "Black Panther could have been just another Marvel romp--a fun but ultimately disposable entry in the studio's catalogue . But Ryan Coogler and company had the power, and perhaps the responsibility, to do much more . And they did ." </P> <P> In early January 2018, New York resident Frederick Joseph created a GoFundMe campaign in hopes to raise money to help children of color at the Boys & Girls Club in Harlem see Black Panther . Joseph called the release of Black Panther a "rare opportunity for young students (primarily of color) to see a black major cinematic and comic book character come to life . This representation is truly fundamental for young people, especially those who are often underserved, unprivileged, and marginalized both nationally and globally ." The campaign exceeded its goal, and given the popularity of its intent, Joseph asked others to create their own campaigns in their own communities to take more children to see the film, which he named the "Black Panther Challenge". GoFundMe created a centralized page for anyone wishing to create a campaign for the challenge, and revealed that 10 campaigns created using the sign - up page would receive a $100 donation from GoFundMe . Over 400 additional campaigns were started around the world, with many celebrities offering their support and contributions to the campaigns, such as actress Octavia Spencer, who intended to buy out a theater in Mississippi for underserved members of the community . Obi Umunna, a Jacksonville, Florida - based attorney born to Nigerian immigrants, participated in the challenge, saying, "I just want for kids in my community to have the same opportunity and to see this movie...I think this is an awesome opportunity for them to see themselves represented in a very positive light...compared to some of the negative images that you see on a daily basis ." The campaign became the largest GoFundMe in history for an entertainment event and raised over $400,000 . </P>
