Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Did this movie meet my expectations?
I went back and watched the first Black Panther movie recently in anticipation for this movie! Chadwick Boseman, the actor who played Black Panther in the past, passed away about 2 years ago, meaning that he would not play the Black Panther in this movie. Honestly, I was disappointed by this news since he did such a great job in the first movie (and obviously such a tragedy that he died so young!). I got to see this movie today with a few friends, and I want to review it! Don’t worry, I WON’T give anything away because I HATE spoilers!
Being a Marvel movie, the intensity and action in this movie was obviously very spectacular. The actors all played their parts very well and made the movie really come to life! The plot line for this movie was actually excellent! I want to avoid spoiling too much, but it was really well written! It was unfortunate because obviously King T’Challa/Black Panther dies at the very beginning. While his death did feel abrupt, Marvel really didn’t have another choice besides recasting him. It really is a shame he couldn’t continue this role, but nonetheless, Marvel still made an exceptional movie!
This movie shows how his sister, Shuri, and the rest of Wakanda recover from his death and fight a new enemy. Watch the trailer here.
My expectations for this movie were set pretty low because Chadwick Boseman wouldn’t be in it and because some recent Marvel content has been just…eh. The movie was actually pretty good! I really like movies where you have to think a little bit, but not overthink the whole thing. This was one of those types of movies that is in the middle. You have to think about morals during the movie, and the line between good and bad isn’t obvious! This movie was also pretty clean and didn’t have too many objectionable things in it, which is good. I would definitely recommend going to see this movie if you are a Marvel fan because it is one of their best! In conclusion, it wasn’t what I expected because it was better!
