Black Panther had its world premiere last night in Los Angeles, and our colleagues in the US got a chance to see the film on-screen in full for the first time.

Although early reviews are always a little hard to gauge in terms of how truthful they are, Black Panther's response so far has been overwhelmingly positive - with some even calling it the best film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. All full reviews are embargoed until next week and we'll share our own thoughts in due course, but for now - on with the early reactions.

Take a look.
