Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Chadwick Boseman does not appear in this movie, but he’s felt in every single scene. It feels like a way to say goodbye. And, in that, it very much succeeds … while also being a rip-roaring Black Panther movie. Again, this movie is a miracle.

Despite the daunting challenge faced by Coogler and his team, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever feels like the surest step taken in the MCU since Thanos was reduced to ash.

Though messy at times, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is an impactful examination of grief aided by excellent character work and exhilarating action.

Coogler admirably takes a big swing with Wakanda Forever and it produces a feature that is fluently in conversation with its predecessor, but less so with its position inside the wider franchise universe. There are some noticeable misses, but the value of such intricate and elevated storytelling cannot be discounted.

More than any other MCU outing over the past three years, though, there is more to appreciate here than not. The performances are all filled with sorrow and spirit, a true melding of real-life emotion and whatever heightened reactions are typically required for an expensive play session in a superpowered sandbox.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is an overlong blockbuster in search of an editor. It’s a series of impressive action sequences without a compelling narrative to connect them. It’s a frustrating example of how financial success, not creative impetus, drives the existence of sequels, and it illustrates how unwieldy, contradictory, and overstuffed the MCU has become.

Only Nyong’o and Winston Duke, whose avuncular mountain tribe chief M’Baku makes a welcome return, actually feel like human beings. Elsewhere it’s drainingly apparent we’re just watching the nth round of chess pieces being rearranged. Like Namor with his dinky ankle-wings, this franchise has become super-heroically adept at treading water.

not bad movie, but not good either. The story is really miss & match, visual is decent, and the voice is also decent

The costumes are extremely awful, some parts of the movie don't make sense at all لباس ها فوق العاده افتضاح هستند، بعضی از قسمت های فیلم اصلا منطقی نیست

Black Panther was one of my utmost favorite MCU films. This film captured none of its magic. The plot falls flat, as do its characters. I know Coogler was handicapped by the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman, though I still don't know how he bungled this. Speaking of Boseman - he died from the same cancer I've been fighting for the last couple of years. Please, please, take this message to heart: If you start to poo funny Go get a colonoscopy! They're not as bad as their reputation would have you believe, and early detection will give you the best chance of survival. **** cancer.

I absolutely loved the first one. This one was extremely cheesy and horrible story. Really unfortunate.
