Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)

Black Panther (2018) made money. It made alot money than even Disney expected. So it is not a surprise that a sequel was announced and the audience waited eagerly.

How can you talk about the sequel without touching on Chadwick Boseman passing away in in the middle of 2020...

Even more surprise Marvel announced that the sequel would go on and that T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman role) will not be reprise. They would not even create a CGI version of the character!

Audiences were sad and yet curious about how Marvel will pull that off.

The wait is over. The sequel is upon us and it is...

I am getting ahead of myself.

Marvel wasted no time addressing the lost of T'Challa.

The main focus of this movie is Shuri (Letitia Wright) and Queen Ramon(Angela Bassett) wept as would the audience.

The movie than sprinted to the core storyline of the movie.

The director kept his promise, expanding the Black Panther world.

Plot threads from the first movie do get expanded on here.

New characters are introduced.

I can see how some would complained that this movie is "WOKE".

I on the other hand would argue that this movie is "woke" done correctly.

Focusing on the strength of the characters, rather than demanding everyone to respect the characters feminity...

I hope I am making sense.

Yes, on of the new character is Namor (Tenoch Huerta). I like the back story of this character and his world.

So, can Shuri hold up the whole movie on her slender shoulders.

Saying that this is a Shuri centric movie maybe a little misleading.

This movie is very much an assemble movie.

Almost every character has his/her moment to shine.

I do have two grumbles concerning this movie.

The last battle lack..... ooomph...

This movie is very very long... 2 hours 41 minutes!!!

Can scene could have definitely been summarised...

The above, like always, is just my two sen...
