Black Panther Wakanda Forever Movie Review: With the unfortunate death of Chadwick Boseman, all eyes have been on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever슬롯 머신 사이트 추천on how it handles the loss of the actor and its lead character. Director Ryan Coogler was tasked with crafting a film that not only paid respect to Boseman슬롯사이트™s legacy, but also build out Wakanda as well as introducing the new nation of Talokan 슬롯사이트� and the director fairly succeeds in telling a story concerned with grief, loss and the ability to let go.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Black Adam Movie Review: Dwayne Johnson슬롯사이트™s Anti-Hero Could Not Save This Rushed and Messy DC Film (LatestLY Exclusive).

Right from the opening moments, we are greeted with a heartbreaking scene showcasing the death of T슬롯사이트™Challa. Shuri (Letitia Wright) is trying to find a cure, however, is too late in doing so and realises that her brother has passed away. With the nation of Wakanda grieving, we are taken to the funeral of the Black Panther that features a beautiful sequence which hammers home the thought that, even in death, there is something to be celebrated with the Wakandan culture showcasing슬롯 머신 사이트 추천the same through슬롯 머신 사이트 추천music and traditional dance beaming up this sentimental affair.

With the nation still grieving a year later and being criticised for not sharing its resources adequately (primarily Vibranium) amongst the world, Wakanda finds itself amidst a geopolitical scenario which puts them at odds with the nation of Talokan, an underwater country inspired by the Mesoamerican culture with Namor (Tenoch Huerta) leading them.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever슬롯사이트™s best quality here is how standalone it feels. It is a proper sequel that슬롯사이트™s not concerned with carrying on a plotline from another film and puts its characters at the front and center. In a grieving Shuri who is portrayed with enough pathos슬롯 머신 사이트 추천by Letitia Wright, there is a good character arc that talks about coming to terms with a loved one's death. On the other hand, you have Queen Ramonda who is brilliantly portrayed by Angela Bassett and who acts the same way to Shuri in the way T슬롯사이트™Chaka did to T슬롯사이트™Challa (minus the lying of course).

The supporting cast is handled with much care too. M슬롯사이트™Baku (Winston Duke) remains a scene stealer like always while Danai Gurira슬롯사이트™s Okoye is a badass warrior who is given so much more depth this time around. Lupita Nyong슬롯사이트™o슬롯사이트™s Nakia brings a great amount of emotionality, and overall, the Wakandans have never felt more like a family. However, you do have the Talokans too, and Tenoch Huerta슬롯사이트™s Namor is the best addition to this film by miles.

A general who will go to any lengths to protect his people, Namor is a menacing foe that is acted out with an intimidating performance by Huerta. Bringing that snobbish nature of the feather-winged mutant right out of the comics, he is an intense antagonist whose motivations you can very well understand. Talokan also looks visually compelling and has parallels with Wakanda. Ditching the name of Atlantis from the comics to avoid comparisons with DC슬롯사이트™s Aquaman, Coogler does a good job at bringing personality to this underwater country. While Namor does get a lot of spotlight, unfortunately his supporting cast of Attuma (Alex Livinalli) and Namora (Mabel Cadena), both very rich characters from the comics don슬롯사이트™t get to do much over here.

The movie also introduces Dominique Thorne슬롯사이트™s Riri Williams, but she feels a bit underwhelming and has the same McGuffin effect that America Chavez had in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Wearing a suit of armor that feels heavily inspired by that of Iron Man슬롯사이트™s, her story never really kicks off and is just a device so that Wakanda and Talokan can wage war against each other. Martin Freeman슬롯사이트™s Everett Ross also feels like an addition just there to sort out some inconveniences with him being a source of Wakanda within the CIA, and his story hardly has any effect on the plot which makes for a disjointed viewing whenever those scenes came up. That brings me to the main issue where the more distinct flaws of the franchise do show up.

There is a sense of choppiness to some of the threads here that Wakanda Forever can슬롯사이트™t shake off. Running at about 161 mins, the pacing occasionally takes a hit and even with all that time, some plotlines like that of the Talokans and Everett Ross슬롯사이트� don슬롯사이트™t feel fleshed out. It doesn슬롯사이트™t always feel effective when dealing with the larger world stuff and there is a bit of that intimacy lost there.

Coogler also noticed some of the criticisms from the first Black Panther where the CGI heavy final fight made for a very rustic feel, he grounds the characters here that help deliver a more hard-hitting fight. That슬롯사이트™s not stopping Marvel from Marvel-ing though. There are some very clear-cut issues here with the CGI that sometimes just feel like people acting out in front of green screen. Which is weird because at times the movie is competently shot with some of the scenes being filmed on location, but when it comes to the more high-octane sequences, the ball is just dropped.

That슬롯사이트™s not to say the story doesn슬롯사이트™t feel strong though. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is at its best when it just lets itself breathe. There are certain scenes here with complete silence that feel extremely powerful. Conversations and dialogues hold weight and no scene is undercut by a funny quip, something that the MCU is very guilty of. Exploring some heavy-handed themes of being a great leader and finding an inner peace among yourself, which reflects heavily onto Shuri슬롯사이트™s story, her journey is one that feels poignant. I was never really that heavy on her character because she was mainly used to add some levity, yet Wakanda Forever pushes her in a way that takes its characters seriously.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Black Panther Wakanda Forever: Director Ryan Coogler Says Introducing a New 'Black Panther' Was All About Honouring Chadwick Boseman (Watch Video).

T'Challa슬롯사이트™s presence is felt throughout, even though he isn슬롯사이트™t physically there, and Wakanda Forever proves to be a respectful conclusion to the story of this legend and brings forward new beginnings. Should they have re-casted T슬롯사이트™Challa? That argument still holds some weight, but that슬롯사이트™s not to say that the introduction of the new Black Panther here is nothing short of splendid. Fueled by another mesmerising score by Ludwig Göransson and an original soundtrack that features the voices of Rihanna and more, this is a movie that will have you tearing up at many moments.

Yay!

Nay!

Final Thoughts

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is Marvel슬롯사이트™s most poignant and emotionally charged film by a long shot. With Tenoch Huerta being a great introduction and Letitia Wright슬롯사이트™s Shuri being a powerful vessel for grief and loss, the MCU has never felt this impactful. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever releases in theatres on November 11, 2022.
