Black Panther Wakanda Forever was a fantastic film! A more emotionally driven story with some amazing acting and a great tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman. It is a film that knows how to balance it’s characters and action wonderfully.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Black Panther Wakanda Forever <\/em>was a film that I was really looking forward to as I loved the first film but almost more so because I wanted to know how they would honour Chadwick Boseman. I knew this film had a heavy and huge task of trying to honour the passing of its leading star while also presenting a future for the character of Black Panther and Wakanda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I was quite excited for the film I was curious but a little skeptical that they would be able to pull that off. Having now seen the film I will say that it was fantastic and my second favourite phase 4 film. I want to say that this movie did what most action\/superhero films struggle to do and that is let scenes really sit, having the emotions of the scene carry instead of action or exposition. <\/p>\n<\/div>

 I thought this was without a doubt one of the most if not the most emotional films the MCU has ever released and it really helps ground this film. This is a movie to celebrate Wakanda and I love that, with the loss of their leader we get to see how Wakanda has to move forward and we get to see how the rest of the world reacts to that. One thing that I think is a positive for this film that some might see as a negative is that it is not super connected to the rest of the MCU. If you have only seen the first Black Panther <\/em>you could watch this film without watching any other MCU films from before or since. Yes, there are references to past events and or storylines that could have an effect on the larger film but that is by no means the focus of this film. This film is truly about Wakanda and its people and I love that. To start with its people I thought the performances in this were probably the best out of any solo MCU film. The emotion the actors portray is just so real and natural. You can tell they pulled from the real loss of their friend Chadwick to help with these scenes. Angela Bassett as Queen Ramonda is getting a lot of attention and rightfully so. She is a powerhouse in this movie and she has one speech with Okoye where you can just feel all the emotions. My other favourite has to be Letitia Wright as Shuri, she elevates this character and takes her in a direction <\/p>\n\n\n\n
