The villain's origin was fascinating but aside from that, he's not as threatening or memorable as Killmonger. Shuri and her loved ones had a few deep moments but felt pretty bland; didn't connect or felt for them like in the first film. There are some really cool action scenes, but as expected, there were some notable unfinished visuals obvious green screen shots. Overall, not a bad movie. Didn't surpass the original; just expected more coming from a multimillion dollar studio.… Expand

It was okay. A bit emotionally manipulative and the acting was really good, but it's still an MCU film and limited in quality. Definitely being rated higher by many than it deserves to be. It was just okay.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was a below average Marvel movie at best. They should have either recast T'Challa or made a Boseman tribute movie on Disney+ and got all the crying and reminiscing out of the way before proceeding with Wakanda Forever because this movie had pacing problems. Some of the action scenes were good, but the movie in whole was mostly just slow and boring. My favorite character was General Okoye. Ironheart was disappointing and Riri was simply forgettable and the suits were terrible, let's be honest. I don't know how Marvel managed to do it, but Namor was both interesting and disappointing at the same time. The first Black Panther, although overhyped and overrated as it was imo, I thought it was an above average Marvel movie personally, was simply a better movie than WF. Wait for it to release on Diseny+, you're not missing anything special imo.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I won’t simply dismiss this movie because of “woke” **** Actual history isn’t woke people. Where this movie falls short is much more disappointing.

To start, the stakes are incredibly low. It’s hard to become invested in a story and the idea of Namor as a villain when there are no consequences whatsoever. Everyone knew Wakanda wasn’t going to fall, or that no notable characters were going to die, or suffer any tragedy that could be used as character development. This saps the life out of the movie, and makes it seem pointless.

My second gripe is Namor himself. The writing really fails to cement him as a true villain. Somewhere in the underwater scene his motivations suddenly shift from “I just want to protect my people”, to “I want to watch the world burn”, with no real catalyst. This relegates IronHeart’s purpose in the movie to another half-baked character in a suit of armor with no real purpose. This also makes Namor’s subtle amicability seem laughable. You want to watch the whole world burn, but you’ll half heartedly kill the queen, and be so cordial as to give the resourceful Wakandans a week to reconsider, and then throw your motivations in the trash simply by getting bested in combat? Seems like his heart was never in it to begin with. The third area this movie falls short in is the combat. The choreography here is desperately lacking, and the constant camera cuts are dizzying, and seemingly wants viewers to fill in the gaps on what’s happening between cuts. The side boss given to Okoye is insipid and unimposing as well. Marvel seems to be heavily regressing in the action department instead of upping the ante . It doesn’t even surpass the original Black Panther, nor does it even crack the top 10 in terms of action. Other gripes:

- cliche “revenge isn’t the answer,” storyline straight from The Last of Us Part 2.

-Power scaling is all over the place and further diminishes The Hulk. Ok, Namor is as strong as The Hulk, but buddy from the mountains took a punch from him and was better within a day.

-Shuri’s urge for vengeance leads to an incompetent plan that only an Imbecile and not the sharp kind of a genius would concoct

-How did Shuri have a Black Panther suit perfectly tailor-made for herself when she was dubious of the ancestral plane even existing and was reluctant to takeover the mantle from the start… Expand

I also don’t really like how the Black Panther became the Black Panther. It seemed like an after thought. The credits scene is the best scene in the movie and is very touching.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wakanda Forever

Well, here we are again. In the M-She-U.
But first, the basics:
Is Black Panther 2 bad? Yes and no.

So here goes.
As we walked out of the theater, we daxed, "If it weren't for all the whining, this movie would only be an hour and a half long."
I didn't think it was quite that bad, but there is a grain of truth in it, because Wakanda Forever is already very... watery, even without Namor.
But let's get to the elephant in the room: yes, the Black Panther is now a woman. I wouldn't have much of a problem with that alone, if it weren't for the fact that every beloved character would soon be feminized.
But to make matters worse, this girl isn't really suited to be a superhero. In that suit, she looks like a 12-year-old brat. You just don't buy this role. I feel sorry for her.
And then there's Iron Heart, the poor man's Iron Man. In the comic, at least, there are heaps of references to Tony Stark, like his "soul" as the AI of the suit with Tomy Stark's voice. Of course, there was no room for such subtleties in this film. After all, they had to take care to make everything as feminine as possible.
And then there was Namor... who was robbed of his Atlantean heritage (for lack of other, better ideas) to make him a fluttering Mayan, who then ekes out an existence as a pseudo-villain.
When I was out of the cinema, I still thought the film wasn't that bad. But the more distance I gain from it, the more I realize that this is not a good movie. It all seems so terribly contrived, so half-hearted, so ham-fisted, so forced.
All in all, this is another wasted attempt to take away something the boys love. And therefore: bad.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here comes the sequel of the acclaimed 'Black Panther' the first. And it goes with both notable highlights and deceptions.

I'll start with the original soundtrack which is totally different from the first opus. This was the very first inconvenient to me as I observed the marvelous trap-based soundscape had disappeared from the whole movie. But it is only to let room to another big surprise, an interesting soundtrack orchestrated by Rihanna (making her big return eventually) and Rema in addition to the unforgettable Ludwig Göransson who directly contributed to give the first feature its unbelievable greatness thanks to major orchestral symphonies. Fortunately, they have chosen to retain the intense rhythms of the traditional drums, which are complemented by the Latino novelty. In a musical way it is as highly fluid as changing. The musical theme of Wakanda's bodyguard seems to have been improved and used with great mastery while the creation of the Yucatan theme also underlines Görasson's talent. Anyway the music clearly is what this movie so intense and poetic.

Obviously as we all expeced, there are many black people on screen, and very often gifted with great powers. These powers also belong to women (and more and more as the movie goes on). This is so refreshing. Terrific. But the regrettable thing is that the 'Black Panther' franchise here desperately tries to be overly political by adding more stories of settlers and colonised in a very clumsy way. Of course Latino people (and many more communities around the world) deserve the audience's attention. But it is the right place ?

Their story, and the Namor's one are really disturbing. They finally are shallow based on what Wakanda has to deal with. I mean the movie begins with major international conflicts and we just see the battle between two hidden nations. What is that political sense ? What is the role of France and USA (as they are showcased in the first scenes) in a conflict between two minorities ? There are so many visible holes in the script. Especially the repartition of forces between the characters. The pace is amazing in the first two thirds of the film but it certainly isn't enough to not make us realize this feature is 161 minute-long.

The last scenes (the battle ones) are really interesting as they give off a remarkable tension paced with a remarkable rhythm. Unfortunately, they are also the site of major problems of nonsense and ridiculous power relations.

Special effects are characterized by many highs and lows. Ugly in the air (especially with Namor) while fantastic on environment. However I did appreciate the evolution of M'Baku and Nakia's characters.

Acting skills are okay. Ramonda (Angela Bassett), M'Baku (Winston Duke) and Okoye (Danai Gurira) particularly show great performances while Shuri (Letitia Wright) seems to lack maturity and charism to assume the role she has to. Ross (Martin Freeman) only gives what he can, as in many movies. Namor (Tenoch Huerta) also seems to lack emotions in his palette. His character's speech is so repetitive and dumb it made me sick.

The morale seems to be very much limited to mourning and forgiveness, but this unfortunately seems insufficient for a film of this scale.

Chadwick Boseman's tributes are scattered throughout the film in different ways: sometimes quite subtle, sometimes more abrupt. In any case I found that the silent Marvel logo exposition in the beginning did a terrific job. It the protagonists mention his name very often at the start, it finally feels like they manage to craft a story despite his loss.

In conclusion I recommend watching it because it is the sequel of a precious turn in the MCU. But I recommend watching it as a sequel, not as the beginning as something new. I don't expect much from the next episodes based on this one.… Expand

I like that the movie partially did something different than other Marvel movies but in the end, it falls into the same troupes we’ve seen a 1000 times. On top of that, filmography is inferior to other Marvel movies, where they oddly chooseI like that the movie partially did something different than other Marvel movies but in the end, it falls into the same troupes we’ve seen a 1000 times. On top of that, filmography is inferior to other Marvel movies, where they oddly choose to include so many low light scenes where it’s barely visible what is happening in the shot. These seems to be a common trend around bad content, like we saw with season 8 of Game of Thrones.

The young college girl is instantly better than any scientist in the Avengers, making an ironman suit faster than Tony Stark, building Vibranium detection machines that none of the avengers or Wakanda could build. I get that the movie wanted to make her seem valuable but this seems unrealistic even in this unrealistic world of super heroes.

Two of the characters are also given super suits that give super hero powers yet these suits dont change much in terms of how they fight. Yes, they fly now, but they still struggle to do one on one battles with low-level baddies. To top it all, the suits look like awkward Gundam mechs. The sound track is good and so is the acting.

The movie is also guilty of some cringy woke jokes, which seems to be an unfortunate trend in Hollywood’s guilty attempt to blame society for Hollywood’s recent past racist and sexist actions. For example, the Princess greeting Martin Short’s character as ‘There’s my favorite colonizer’. Yes, so blame a random white guy in 2022 of ‘colonizing’ which happened 100’s of years ago, good joke. I’m sure had another movie reversed the joke and a white guy said to a black girl ‘There’s my favorite slave’, people would be crying and protesting on the streets. Both Mayans and Africans practiced slavery long before white people but would Marvel in their desperate attempt to virtue signal ever bring that up? Definitely not. I think I would have liked this more if the movie didnt turn into the last 30 marvel movies, giving into every marvel troupe imaginable. Marvel is in desperate need of an overarching purpose, like with the Thanos arc. If I watch the same good movie being remade 30 times, it’s not interesting. I’m embarrassed to admit it, but I was entertained by Captain Marvel more than this.… Expand

ForYou know my issue with this is I appreciate that they are trying to portray us (black people) in a positive manner. But it really says a lot when you have to basically turn black people into aliens to portry us in a positive manner.

For example, and the whole premise of the girl at that college. Did we really need a black female Tony Stark? Just let the character be dead and remain unique. Don't insult the audience by replacing an iconic hero with a bad actor who is portraying a terribly written character.

I mean could we have not just gotten someone who earned their place based on merit? Why not an adult African American female, who has military experience, who has combat experience, and has a doctorate level education. And has simply just never gotten her chance to shine?

But of course we go with annoying teenage girl who just happens to be a genius for no reason. And also just happens to have access to unlimited resources for no reason. Oh this is just my warehouse full of tech.

I think this is my least favorite Marvel film on first viewing. I've warmed up to the first Dr. Strange, the first Marvel film I didn't really like, but I'm not sure what to look for in this one to help the entertainment or enjoyment factor. I enjoyed watching this less than "Thor Dark World." The motivation driving the plot forward for every character is really weak, except for the Queen. That angle was really good and I liked that she didn't pull any punches. There are so many pointless ancillary characters. Remember Martin Freeman's CIA character from the last movie? Well yay because he'll be on screen not really doing much of anything with any of the main cast and just slightly nudging the plot forward...maybe. There's a lot of that. There's a lot of dealing with loss, real loss, but without the care that felt like went into crafting how it was handled in the last Marvel film. There isn't any of the dealing with loss with humor that is fairly standard in the MCU and that was too much for me. I need that release. I didn't expect it to be fun, but the lead played by Latitia Wright just didn't carry the movie. Angela Basset was amazing and so was Lupita Nyong'o. Danai Gurira also ruled, but so much of her redemption arch is just brush under the rug. I don't think Namor was a good villain here which is too bad. He is an interesting character and it's great that he's in the MCU. In the end it just felt so very cliche to me. If you enjoyed it that is awesome. The people with me got very emotional for all of the tribute to Chadwick. He is a big part of what made the MCU so great and fresh again with the first movie and all of his appearances in the other movies. I'll watch it again and how to find something more then what I missed the first time around. For right now I can't recommend this to people who deal with tragedy with comedy or levity. There just isn't any of that to be found here. And really, THAT'S how you use Lake Bell? C'mon… Expand

It's entire press cycle has felt demure from the scattered soundtrack or the phoned in Rihanna lead singles giving the feeling that this film suffered greatly in quality following Chadwick Boseman's unforseen death. I will say I was part of the crowd that favored a recast and unfortunately this movie proved us right. The story though not bad(per sé) feels loose and circular. I do think they approached the eventual arms race that would begin once American became privy to Wakanda's advantage and I think it would make even more compelling stories ahead. I did find Shuri's character a bit lackluster this time around but I loved Okoye . Nakia's revelation was shocking and rightfully set up the reintroduction of T'challa. The decision to focus on grief,loss and turmoil was a risky but otherwise fine choice. I wasn't really captivated throughout but I was never really bored. I do think it was actually paced pretty well.… Expand

This movie was made to exploit African culture, while also making it seem it's about black empowerment or blackThis movie fails in so many ways, that you can see they weren't even worried about plot holes seeing they make them as hotcakes. This movie was made to exploit African culture, while also making it seem it's about black empowerment or black culture when it is not about any of that.

First they couldn't have explained T'Challa death in a worst way. Do the writers think people suffer from memory loss?! So they were able to freeze the Winter Soldier, but given T'Challa situation no one even thought about that. If you're smart and you think about everything all the movies have shown you, then you'll never accept the explanation given to T'Challa death. Which only shows how much the writers really care about Chadwick Boseman, that they couldn't have given him a death worthy of the man he was in life but also who the character Black Panther is.

The story of the movie itself is as simple as it can get. Riri Williams, builds something that does something and Namor or should I call him Ne-mour sees that thing as a threat to his kingdom and power. Ne-mour thinks his and Wakanda interests align until he sees that they do not.

And that's it, all the conflict and fights begin here.

Shuri or should I say Letitia Wright, not only fails to transmit the emotions typical with grieving and loss, but how she becomes the new Black Panther was pure plot convenience. Also considering how she achieves it, you're also left wondering how did T'Challa even died at all. Even her fight with wannabe Namor, it leaves you wonder if she added some Wolverine DNA to what she did. As Black Panther she doesn't convinces, and she didn't took her role as seriously as she should have.

The character Riri Williams that pretty much sets the fuse to the entire conflict, if she had only done that and offered Shuri some help becoming Black Panther, that would've been enough. More than enough. But no. They had to go Rey Palpatine on her, and the way she becomes Ironheart is an insult to Tony Stark Iron Man. The way she builds the suit the way she just uses it... It screams Mary Sue.

As for Wakanda itself. They went so over the top to create the illusion that the movie cares about African culture, that they overused it to the point it became ridiculous. There are many choices to pick from, but pay attention to how the holographic barrier that keeps Wakanda hidden is lowered. You'll see the culture abuse right there, because you're witnessing a technological process that doesn't need to have all that spectacle. The spectacle is in the movie to deceive the viewer too hypnotized to realize the absurdity being shown.

Also the way they handle Riri Williams at first, for a society that is supposed to be so advanced, so open minded, about equality, and so much better than all other cultures. They sure handle that with the finesse of a barbarian.

This movie will fool you if you're not paying attention. It will pretend to be about equality when they show they couldn't care less about that. It will pretend that the fight is about some grand motive, when it comes down to who has access to a specific resource. That resource can almost be considered the movie main character. It will pretend that this movie is about black culture, black empowerment, but it just ends up showing that regardless of skin color cultures share the same flaws and fight the same fights.

A few performances were solid, like that of Angela Bassett. But other performances were just laughable, like that of Tenoch Huerta that can't even say Namor as Namor is actually said.

Overall this is an average movie. With a completely predictable story and with so many plot holes that you can see how much care and hard work was actually put into creating this movie. They knew that by using Chadwick Boseman passing, and by filling the screen with what passes for African culture, they didn't need to actually write a good story.

And while some may allowed themselves to fall for this illusionist trick, I for one was never tricked one single time. Average movie at best and I'm being generous, considering some flaws even in the special effects department can easily justify and even lower score.… Expand

It's well acted for the most part, has some decent visuals, everyone involved is clearly trying but... yeah, it's mediocre. It drags along at a snails pace - it feels like a thousand mile journey and the car is starting to chug and break down during the last bit and you just can't wait to see the finish line. This should have been cut back by a good 45 minutes.

And again, it's almost all due to the script. A nonsensical villain and a plot with more holes than a swiss cheese, where characters do things 'just because' rather than because they're following any logic in the parameters of the universe they're in.

For me, Wakanda Forever is a shame. A swing and a miss, but at least they legitimately did try to hit.… Expand

Black Panther 2 without the Black Panther is Disney Marvel's dumbest folly yet. Delay and recast were the way to go with this sequel. Way too long running time to sit through a plot so boring and incoherent. Disney so focused on identity politics and virtue signalling forgot to put the brakes on the director and writers throwing everything up the wall and using what sticks. The Namor character was so far removed from the classic origins of the old Marvel comics, he just came across like a big joke with that ludicrous backstory. The Shuri character is less annoying in this one than she was in the 1st Black Panther film but nevertheless, unable to carry the weight of the film on her tiny narrow shoulders. Angela Bassett was acting like...Angela Bassett as she's been doing for the past 10 years. A fantastic actress that was given a stupid plot and reasoning to go against the wishes of Namor that sparked the tensions and war. The Dora Milaje female warriors were even more insufferable this time round than ever before, quite frankly on this evidence, they'd beat the old Avengers and Thanos in one afternoon the way the director has amped them up with nothing more than carry shields and extendable staffs. That leaves the worst character in the film - Riri Williams aka "Ironheart", the teenage 19-year-old genius from the age of 3 first built her own powered Iron suit??? Yeah ok Disney. More Z-list characters to contend with and roll your eyes at as the world awaits yet another Disney+ content tv show starring Ironheart in 2023. In this film she yet another Disney heroine with a sulky bad attitude that knows everything and is the key to everything - a well-used and tired Disney trope at this point. The two scenes dedicated to the late great star Chadwick Boseman were exploitive at best, ill-advised at worst. Of course, I understand the cast and crew wishing to pay tribute to their former cast member, but what was served just didn't hit me in the feels the way the film wishes it did. Everyone has said it already, they should've recast the Black Panther role instead of killing him off, what a dumb decision. Now the franchise has blackballed itself behind the glaring fact that T'Challa is no more, again a choice that just didn't work. A very poor and disappointing film. Black Panther 2 is a mess of a film that ultimately dishonours the late star.… Expand

They tried to force a lot of emotion, probably would've been better if it came out closer to Chadwick's death (RIP). iron heart served no purpose in this movie, probably should've been a short cameo to introduce her instead of being essential to the plot.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The beginning and end segments of this movie are absolutely fantastic. It handles the real life death of it's lead actor with more grace and class than any other sequel I can think of.

Unfortunately, the issue is in what's between the beginning and the end. I can hear the Disney corporate committee planning on this movie, "Hmm. They liked Thanos and Killmonger, let's merge the two for the villain this time. Oh, and since they like Wakanda, let's make the villain be from a secret super advanced society very similar to Wakanda. It will be like a Killermonger/Thanos lead Wakanda versus the actual Wakanda. Kind of like the climax of the last film, which the audience liked." Despite this overly safe set-up, Namor is still pretty solid as the antagonist and while he's no Magento (sorry, Namor is not right) it's functional.

What doesn't work is Ironheart. Riri Williams does not belong in this movie. It's a disservice to Wakanda Forever and it's a disservice to Ironheart. Riri should have had her own standalone origin movie and she feels completely shoehorned into this movie. Riri distracts needlessly from the Wakanda narrative and, clearly, is only introduced here because Disney doesn't have the integrity to launch Riri in her own standalone film.

On the note of compromising Wakanda in order to put narrative focus on Riri. The worst decision this film makes is have Queen Ramonda - a powerful mature woman of color - sacrifice herself in order to save Riri. This is a repeat of Marvel's mishandling of it's female authority figure in Thor: Dark World but it hits even harder here because it's a colossal waste of a talented, engaged actress. Apparently Angela Bassett challenged the decision but was told, "don't worry. It's comics, dead people come back all the time." Which is garbage storytelling and completely undermines the narrative stakes. What a terrible misstep. At least have the Queen lay down her life to save her own people or her own family, to just sacrifice the strongest female authority figure in the story for some stranger - just like Queen Frigga in Thor: Dark World - is an absolute waste.

So, ultimately, the beginning and end are very good. Marvel plays it too safe in the middle acts, distracts from Wakanda by shoehorning in the next franchise, and needlessly kills off one of Black Panther's best characters. The visuals and sound are top notch, just what you'd expect, but most of the heart from this one comes from the off screen death of T'chala.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. With all due respect to the late Chadwick Boseman. Unfortunately, this movie does not quite land the “slam dunk” they should have had as a movie that pays those respects to him. Coogler had a choice to make: use the passing of Boseman and incorporate that into the story; or re cast the role (which is what Boseman himself would have wanted). Doing the former risks not accomplishing entirely what you’re intending to, and again, unfortunately, that was the case with this movie. Imagine your brother dies, and a cousin of his knew that his favorite artist was Weird Al Yankovic. So, this cousin gets Weird Al to play at the funeral – you’re running the risk that instead of it being a grand event, it’ll turn into a distasteful, cheap spectacle that doesn’t quite pay the respects that you wish it would. This movie is not that extreme of a case, but it also needed a slam dunk, and it falls short. Coogler should have taken option 2, which was Boseman’s wish, and re cast Black Panther, and told a different story. Instead, this movie suffers from trope after trope, and most disappointingly: “missed opportunities”. It is not the “beautiful story that one would hope from a movie like this. And there’s also lots of issues that make the movie seem heartless (no pun intended) and vicious. Sure, we’ve seen some atrocities in this universe before, but this movie has no issue with killing a Police Officer, and there’s a lack of conscience in not highlighting it, as if it’s no big deal that a law enforcement person’s life was just ended. In fact, to most people, they won’t bat an eyelash at it – and that’s a problem. Namor is the Highlight of the movie, and being the same thing as any other “this is our land, we will defend our people” type of character we’ve seen countless times before, he seems cold, and insensitive. This turns him into the villain in the third act, which makes sense, but giving him redemption takes away that arc – like saying “You’re allowed to murder my mother, as long as you yield and do the right thing in the end.” Sure, it gives Shuri a chance to be the right kind of Black Panther, with mercy and without killing, but it also questions why there’s no commitment to either making him a full hero-defending-his-people, or a heartless-cold-villain. There’s no set pieces that blow you away, and there’s the same issues that, ironically, plagued the ending of the first Black Panther movie – over-reliance on CGI and green-screen obviousness. In the ending, where the movie was ALMOST going to point towards a “it was all a dream” kind of thing, I actually got excited to see that direction. Maybe the whole second and third act was a hallucination from Shuri’s taking the new Black Panther purple magic liquid, and realizing in that hallucination that she was doing it for the wrong reasons, before changing her ways BEFORE she actually turned to the Black Panther – but no. All the destruction and death happened, and everyone is expected to be ok with that. The worst part is all the missed opportunities and lack of stakes and grandeur. I never felt like I was wow’ed or about to be wow’ed. All the “woke” stuff feels shoehorned in. And Iron Heart feels like she just doesn’t belong and is a third wheel to the whole thing. There’s almost no point to her being there, and she could easily be taken out of the movie – which is not really fair to the character, or the point of the character being in the MCU. In the end, I was utterly underwhelmed, and wanting more, but in a different way. I found myself saying in my head “ugh…they could have done this differently” many times, throughout the movie. And the biggest offender is the highly anticipated “new Black Panther” reveal, which was supremely bland, unimaginative, anti-climactic, cheap, uninteresting. This should have been the biggest moment in the movie, and it was far from it. The first Black Panther was underwhelming to me as well, but this movie had the expectation to be something special from paying respects to Chadwick Boseman. Instead, it is a big disappointment from something that should have been a spectacular way of sending his memory off.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really feel that there was the potential for a really good movie here but it's never realized because, well Disney is Disney.
Firstly I will say that overall the emotional scenes in this movie are very good and feel impactful. Letitia Wright is a good actress and with the rest of the talented cast they do a good job of continuing the story of Wakanda while being respectful to the passing of Chadwick Boseman.
However there are definite problems with the script which severely impacted my enjoyment of the movie.
The whole Riri/Ironheart plot is very obviously a last minute addition. It feels forced and unnecessary and could very easily have been cut with only small changes to the overall story.
Secondly even though this is close to a three hour movie Namor and the nation of Talokan doesn't get fleshed out enough and the whole plot as to why they would attack Wakanda is paper thin.
They also feel very underwhelming and even though the movie really tries to present them as a credible threat it frankly feels strange that they should be this dangerous to a nation with the technology and military capability of Wakanda even with their super strength and water bombs.
Also while I'm not opposed to Shuri becoming the Black Panther I really feel more time should have been spent on her transition into the role instead of cramming it into the last third. Shuri was always a scientist and the most we ever saw her fight before was using the sonic(?) arm cannons in a handful of scenes in the previous movies. I really would have liked to see her grow more into the role before just jumping in to the final fight with Namor.
Overall this was ok. It was fine for an evenings entertainment and definitely not the worst Marvel has produced but compared to what they were making a few years ago this isn't close to their best and the sad thing is that it really feels like it could have been if they had tightened up the script and made the antagonist more believable.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Simple terms. This is another below average MCU film. Phase 4 is still not living up to the legacy of the usually solid/enjoyable phase 1-3 films. Ignoring the other very obvious flaws to this film I want to point out my biggest problem. Wakanda hasn't learnt ANYTHING! What was the purpose of the first film where it was a huge deal about Wakanda finally being apart of the world. That is for nothing here. Its like as soon as Thanos was defeated Wakanda slipped back into its recluse ways. They do not want to trade Vibranium with the rest of the world? Okay fine, it is very dangerous. But... You can't just not do anything. Especially after promising you'd provide some aid. Wakanda comes off as a bad guy to the UN as they want what you specifically told them you'd provide. You can't make promises you never have any intention of fulfilling. So Wakanda already comes across as disconnected from the rest of the world. So when people investigating Vibranium outside Wakanda turn up dead, of course they are the first and only suspects... Something they do nothing to discourage. Which for a while was fine. But at the end of the film... Where its Wakanda verses the Fish people (forget their names) Wakanda still choses to stand completely alone... Apparently just for the purpose of setting up a 3rd movie... Also on the fish people and Namor topic. I have never seen a supposed sympathetic enemy whose been so quick and consistent in killing innocent civilians. These are meant to be a mirror of Wakanda's own people but when they invaded Wakanda's capital it was the civilian areas targeted first. Theres one point when a fish people grabs some poor fisherman off his refuge just to drown him.… Expand

It was brushed off and easily forgotten. Should they have just recast Black Panther? The villain in this had awful motives that were insane and made me want to see Killmonger again in the first one. I didn't like what happened to a certain character towards the second act that had me pissed instead of being sad, she was the best part of this. Almost fell asleep at parts too as it drags and unnecessary side questing that is inconsequential to the plot gets boring fast. Follows the same MCU formula to play it safe, at this point, it is such a meme.

Não há duvidas que emPara esse filme é necessário separar em duas avaliações: Emocional e como Obra Cinematográfica. Pelo emocional, o filme transmite toda a sua homenagem a Chadwick, e talvez por esta emoção você até goste do que irá ver. Não há duvidas que em muitos momentos da narrativa se evidencia o peso da ausência do mesmo e o quanto ele faz falta para o Universo de Wakanda. O drama se exala de muitos modos, chegando até ser apelativo em algumas situações, mas nada que irrite ou cause desaprovação. Agora como Obra Cinematográfica o filme deixa muito a desejar. O roteiro está perdido assim como sua protagonista, muitas vezes parece não saber para onde está indo, Letitia não sustenta apesar de cumprir com seu papel. Destacam-se Namor e Ramonda, que roubam a cena cada vez que aparecem. O filme cansa e se arrasta, dá até para bocejar. A Coração de Ferro é uma das minhas personagens favoritas dos quadrinhos, porém aqui está completamente deslocada, e apesar da alegria na primeira aparição (muito mais por eu ser fã), todas as vezes em que aparece está desfocada da história, me parece que foi só uma justificativa para dizer que ainda existe um universo compartilhado e que em breve ela será importante para o futuro do mesmo. Se cortassem pela metade do filme não faria falta, é valido pela homenagem, e apenas isso. São 160 minutos que se sente cada segundo. Vale destacar que o CGI deste filme é a única coisa melhor do que o primeiro, o que me fez lembrar que apesar de todas as falhas de CGI do primeiro, aquele filme era tão incrível que você deixava de lado para contemplar. A fotografia escura e sombria as vezes impede e dificulta o visual do filme, além do cenário de Talocan que é completamente apagado. Uma pena, Aquaman com todos os seus defeitos construiu uma cidade submersa bem mais agradável do que Wakanda Forever. No mais, como falei acima, o filme vale pela homenagem e provavelmente te fará chorar de emoção ou bocejar de sonolência.… Expand

Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Princess Shuri (Letitia Wright) and Okoye (Danai Gurira) must fight to protect their home against multiple threats coming their way. With other nations desperate to get their hands on some precious vibranium to a new nation making themselves known and without the Black Panther to protect Wakanda they must do whatever it takes to defend their home and people.

It’s clear everyone is still feeling the huge loss of Chadwick Boseman and this obviously created problems for the cast and crew to continue the franchise and despite everything I feel they did the best they could under the circumstances. Director Ryan Coogler made the right call not to recast T’Challa and even though his character is missed it’s paved the way for a new Black Panther to take over.

The performances from the cast are the best thing about Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Letitia Wright steps up as Princess Shuri, Angela Bassett is a show stealer in every scene she’s in. Honestly the woman never gives a bad performance. We also have the return of Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke and Danai Gurira. All excellent characters, well written and with more room now to develop them. Wakanda Forever has more heart and deeper themes running throughout compared to some of the other rubbish being churned out in the superhero genre.

Every single comic book movie is only as good as their villain/antihero, you can have an amazing movie with a perfect cast but get the villain wrong and it will suffer. Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) in Black Panther was a tough act to follow and unfortunately Namor (Tenoch Huerta) didn’t quite live up to expectations. As the story progresses it eventually ends up at the big showdown. Ultimately being a giant lackluster fight scene although at least it didn’t feature a giant blue laser or some other ridiculous nonsense. The action sequences are a huge let down but everything else from the emotion, the costume designs and another exceptional score by Ludwig Göransson are the best thing about Wakanda Forever. Thankfully it’s not overloaded with endless slow-motion action sequences and messy fight scenes. It’s far more emotional than expected and you can feel the grief through it all.

A common issue that is cropping up in more and more movies, particularly superhero movies these days is the state of the CGI. The CGI in many of the Marvel and DC films seems to be getting worse with every new movie, this isn’t helped when more and more of them now rely so heavily on it. It’s difficult to single out scenes that don’t incorporate some form of special effects and sure fair enough when Black Panther has created new worlds that need to be shown with CGI fine, use it where necessary but if there’s not enough time to make it look good then more time is clearly needed to finish it. There is another film on the horizon that’s also going to feature underwater blue people and they’re going to be compared to each other, there’s no getting around that. Visual effects have improved in recent years, so when you look at a film like War For the Planet of the Apes and see where the bar is, it’s not good enough to release something beneath that level. Thor: Love and Thunder, Black Adam and now Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, as I said before either pay the VFX artists better or allow more time to make it actually look decent.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever although not as good as the first Black Panther is an entertaining sequel. You’ll enjoy it in the moment despite it being overly long. And yes, there’s a mid-credits scene that is definitely worth staying for. Recommended for the Marvel fans.… Expand

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is an emotionally entertaining tribute, even if its pacing and narrative can get tedious at times.

Es la primera vez que una película de Marvel hace dormitar y eso que Eternals la vi solo y enfermo. Toda la película se trata de justificar el porque Namor no es malo y por qué va a atacar a Wakanda. Los efectos especiales son buenos en general, pero hay una escena que se ve más falsa que un billete de 3 USD. Mala la película, no recomendada para ver en el cine.… Expand

One is how they can tribute the film to Chadwick, and the other somehow continuing the storyline to make an interesting enough film. While I did enjoy just watching the film it and the acting in certain scenes, it quite simply didn't make sense (Wakanda world). The obvious narrative of what Disney has been trying to push and how they can exploit a particular audience is becoming quite clear and I am certain some are getting quite tired of it. Overall it is a good film, with once again an amazing soundtrack.… Expand

Ignore the women haters that are against feminism aka female equality. God forbid women get more than wonder woman. Just cuz a woman is stronger than a male doesnt make a man weak, that is the reviewers own insecurities And hate against womenIgnore the women haters that are against feminism aka female equality. God forbid women get more than wonder woman. Just cuz a woman is stronger than a male doesnt make a man weak, that is the reviewers own insecurities And hate against women and not a bad movie. Women can do what men do and the world needs more female role models to encourage future females to believe that which males have long had in films. Woke is a slur against progress and equal representation. There are few black superheroes yet these ppl complain. It is not a bad movie.… Expand

It was ok but dragged on a bit. Best Marvel movie of the year IMO, which is sad.

Sometimes the CGI works and sometimes not. There are a few ugly green screens and the water scenes just don't seem real enough to catch an eye. The new Black Panther suit has some interesting appeals. I like it. The story isn't too complex. There are a few unnecessary acts. (like Everett Ross) And so The film is way too long. The most special part of the movie is the delivery of the mourning people. I've never seen something like this before.… Expand

The movie first half is a great tribute to Boseman, and that is really moving...the rest is quite disappointing...flat jokes, bad cgi (my god the ironlady suit and the squid armor were really bad!), bad action sequences (no more real fightsThe movie first half is a great tribute to Boseman, and that is really moving...the rest is quite disappointing...flat jokes, bad cgi (my god the ironlady suit and the squid armor were really bad!), bad action sequences (no more real fights so much cgi generated sequences that it's like watching a poor videogame and i get why they couldn't do real fights scenes but still...); the real problem for me is that i didn't care at all about the main character Shuri, and that's understandable cause she didn't have any time in the first movie to develop into a real character and now she seems being forced into something totally different - witch to me felt bad, i loved T'challa and his character, i didn't care for his sister and still don't, because she is not the Queen, she has not to do any hard choiches and she didn't deserve the Black Panther mantle like T'Challa...They totally destroyed the first movie honor and culture for a quick power up and lazy motivation just to force another character there...I'm sorry but they need to do better than this...I miss the real sense of beauty that was to watch Black Panther and Wakanda, to immerse myself in that culture where past and future where combined togheter to form something better and new...This movie lost all his beautyful storic heritage and pushed too much on the futuristic side resulting into a cheap ironman, forgetting that the great part about Ironman is not the suit but the man behind it.… Expand
