Black Panther: Wakanda Forever |
The sequel to the megablockbuster began production just a few months after the unexpected death of its leading man, Chadwick Boseman, and forced screenwriters Ryan Coogler and Joe Robert Cole to radically overhaul the story it would tell. Now that it’s finally in theaters, fans will see what it delivers in terms of action, star power, and superhero spectacle. Here’s what 5 critics think: |
- "What hit me hardest is its exploration of grief, an emotion that is transformative, clumsy, ugly, and cruel. … Amid all the boom boom splash, Coogler gives space for Black Panther fans to feel the loss of Boseman in the sacred communal space of the theater." — Kristy Puchko at Mashable
- "Drenched in vibrant color, every frame … feels like a masterpiece worthy of our gaze … and includes, perhaps, the most powerful post-credit scene of any Marvel movie.” — Mark Johnson at Awards Daily
- "This sequel is more scattered, a vast expansion with a hole at its center. In their mourning, the film’s characters are tossed to the wind, atomized on their own sad trajectories." — Richard Lawson at Vanity Fair
- “Coogler’s subthread of the MCU continues to operate at a significantly higher strata of thought, artistry, and feeling than the rest of Marvel’s assembly line.” — David Ehrlich at IndieWire
- "The heroes of Wakanda Forever are fighting for their lives, their nation, their fallen king, and the movie lets us touch the ruthlessness of their devotion. … T’Challa is gone, but somewhere he is smiling." — Owen Gleiberman at Variety
