On IMDB.com, the rating currently stands at an average of 7.2 from over 132K users. Interestingly, that is slightly less than the original Black Panther which movie has a rating of 7.3.

On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 67 out of 100, based on 62 critics, indicating “generally favorable reviews”.

Overall the movie was well received, with many praising Angela Bassett for her standout performance. However, others have pointed out that this movie struggles under the weight of expectations.
