Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2022 film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Story
An epic playing on emotion, colonialism, family, and politics. There were a few flashback style sections that I didn’t like, why are you showing me what happened 30 minutes ago? But that’s not enough to cast a shadow on the impressive story.
Score: 1
Characters
There are a lot of characters and unfortunately without watching the first one again, I forgot who a few of them are. That being said, the arcs are satisfying and I didn’t feel cheated in anyone’s story and that’s impressive.
Score: 1
Dialogue
The movie was sadder without T’Challa’s quips. He had a charisma in his delivery that was amazing. That being said, the movie was a wonderful mixture of high drama, epic, and action dialogue.
Score: 1
Visuals and Music
The movie was beautiful, great special effects, choreography, and cinematography, when I could see it. We have a 4k OLED TV with excellent contrast and brightness, but a good 10-25% of the movie was so dark we could barely see.
The music is epic and amazing. I liked that the sirens sang something that sounded vaguely like a sea shanty.
Score: 0.5
Fun
The kids were bored in the emotional parts, and that made it harder to get into the emotion.
For the adults, we all agreed that it was both entertaining and thought provoking. I’d watch this again for that balance and to catch all the details I missed.
Score: 1
Overall
An emotional and sweeping story that takes the time to grieve Chadwick Boseman without losing itself in loss. There are some wonderful themes and ideas. This is a proper epic superhero movie.
Final Score: 4.5 Stars out of 5
