Films so brilliant come around very rarely, but we’re in the middle of seeing one leaving a permanent mark on Hollywood.
The movie is fantastic; critics absolutely loved it (it’s the highest rated superhero title ever on Rotten Tomatoes); it has an “A+” CinemaScore; and already it has become a pop culture staple.
Of course, this isn’t all some mystifying, accidental phenomenon.
The Ryan Coogler-directed blockbuster still sits a bit lower on the worldwide chart, but will shortly join the esteemed group of Marvel Cinematic Universe titles that have previously reached the billion dollar mark – including The Avengers, The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Iron Man 3, and Captain America: Civil War.
