Los Angeles turned into Wakanda last night as scores of A-listers showed up to watch what will likely be one of the highest grossing films of the year.

We edited our films across the hall from each other for 8 months. We talked in our edit bays, on walks around the lot. About our films, our dreams. Tonight, his comes true.

Although the review embargo isn’t set to be lifted until February 6, the brief Twitter reactions are enough to give you ALL the goosebumps.

Don’t even know where to begin. Went to the Black Panther premiere and this film is EVERYTHING. I had high expectations and this movie exceeded every one. Hard to describe the feeling of being around so many creative, talented and beautiful people of color. The love in the room was just amazing.

We HIGHLY suggest you swipe to the last frame of Jemele’s post to see video from the afterparty. Lupita dancing to Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright” is EVERY-DAMN-THING!

Black Panther is the best MCU movie ever. I was blown away from start to finish and I’m not even being biased. This was by far the best marvel movie to date. Thank you, Ryan Coogler! #BlackPanther pic.twitter.com/8Qh0hlOYAb

I’ve been to Wakanda, and I may never recover. I am so grateful that our young people will see this film and their minds will be transformed. Congratulations #RyanCoogler —you did that! #blackpantherpremiere #blackpanther

Believe the hype. Believe the buzz. Believe the words “cultural phenomenon.” #blackpanther is about to blow minds and take names. My God. Where to even begin. Long live the King. pic.twitter.com/cECg2mxnKw

You guys aren’t ready for #BlackPanther. It may be the strongest film in the MCU since The Winter Soldier. Ryan Coogler has made something so firmly fresh and new within the confines of the Marvel universe. Boseman and Jordan are just phenomenal, and I need more Wakanda now. pic.twitter.com/Xj8gJGdMUU

"This movie will show what could have happened if white colonialist would never have landed in Africa… Everything we could have built. Everything we could have been." (John Kani, south african actor who plays King T'Chaka, former King of #Wakanda).#BlackPanther

So you know how #ThorRagnorok was called the best reviewed Marvel movie to date — yeah, doesn't hold a candle to #BlackPanther. The movie has heart, well-developed characters and the emotional depth to keep you invested in all of the characters. And Michael B. Jordan, wow.

#BlackPanther is exceptional – the James Bond of the MCU. You've seen nothing like this in a superhero movie – it's bold, beautiful & intense, but there's a depth & spiritualness that is unlike anything Marvel has ever done. It's 100% African & it is dope af. pic.twitter.com/Z77IjnIjf2
