Comic book superhero movies are some of the biggest films being produced today and while Black Panther wasn’t the first in the genre to have a black star or a black director, comic book movies simply weren’t as popular back when those previous attempts were made.
Black Panther had already cemented itself a place as one of the biggest movies of the year.
Oprah’s excitement is what’s palpable in her Twitter review and it’s a feeling that many have had since seeing Black Panther.
It’s clear based on the film’s success that this was a movie that a lot of people were waiting to see.
