È uno dei pochi film che mi ha fatto piangere.
Indubbiamente Chadwick Boseman è stato una grande persona e mostra l'affetto che la maggior parte degli attori che hanno partecipato a questo film hanno per lui.

Few commercial movies are made with such care and delicacy. It was artfully done, had a compelling story, and was entertaining throughout. Can't wait to see more from Shuri, Riri Williams, and Namor.

Wakanda Forever only problem is time. There wasn't enough time to build the characters in 2 hours and 40 mins. I wanted to see more of Namor and his people and maybe some more interaction with them, you introducing all whole new civilizationWakanda Forever only problem is time. There wasn't enough time to build the characters in 2 hours and 40 mins. I wanted to see more of Namor and his people and maybe some more interaction with them, you introducing all whole new civilization like Wakanda, so you need a whole movie or series to do that. Namor in general needed more time to discover his character. Angela Bassett should get some kind of award she really is the Queen Ramonda and am only reminded its her because there is only 1 Angela Bassett on this planet. Lol.

We also could've used more time with Mbaku. The directo did an amazing job as usual. Movie looked great. All the females in this movie absolutely did a great job and it was cool to see more of them.

They did a great job making you feel the loss of Chadwick this entire movie. I think this is one of the better marvel movies to come out on this phase. Overall good movie.

The only technical flaws are the poor lighting in the first third of the film similar to how Solo: A Star Wars Story is. The acting is done well. The cinematography is spot on for the most part. The characters are just as good as part one. The story is bad. The logic is bad. And the Black Panther had very little screen time and does not do enough to feel heroic. I also don’t really like how the Black Panther became the Black Panther. It seemed like an after thought. The credits scene is the best scene in the movie and is very touching. This is by far the worst marvel movie. I’m still glad i watched it. I’m still glad it exists. I probably won’t watch it again. I’ve loved nearly everything Marvel has released. This one missed for me. Expand

Ryan Coogler had a seemingly impossible job, yet somehow he was able to pull off a film that honors the legacy of Chadwick Boseman but also might even be better than the original.
I loved the movie. This movie is a must see!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I won’t simply dismiss this movie because of “woke” **** Actual history isn’t woke people. Where this movie falls short is much more disappointing.


To start, the stakes are incredibly low. It’s hard to become invested in a story and the idea of Namor as a villain when there are no consequences whatsoever. Everyone knew Wakanda wasn’t going to fall, or that no notable characters were going to die, or suffer any tragedy that could be used as character development. This saps the life out of the movie, and makes it seem pointless.


My second gripe is Namor himself. The writing really fails to cement him as a true villain. Somewhere in the underwater scene his motivations suddenly shift from “I just want to protect my people”, to “I want to watch the world burn”, with no real catalyst. This relegates IronHeart’s purpose in the movie to another half-baked character in a suit of armor with no real purpose. This also makes Namor’s subtle amicability seem laughable. You want to watch the whole world burn, but you’ll half heartedly kill the queen, and be so cordial as to give the resourceful Wakandans a week to reconsider, and then throw your motivations in the trash simply by getting bested in combat? Seems like his heart was never in it to begin with. The third area this movie falls short in is the combat. The choreography here is desperately lacking, and the constant camera cuts are dizzying, and seemingly wants viewers to fill in the gaps on what’s happening between cuts. The side boss given to Okoye is insipid and unimposing as well. Marvel seems to be heavily regressing in the action department instead of upping the ante . It doesn’t even surpass the original Black Panther, nor does it even crack the top 10 in terms of action. Other gripes:


- cliche “revenge isn’t the answer,” storyline straight from The Last of Us Part 2.



-Power scaling is all over the place and further diminishes The Hulk. Ok, Namor is as strong as The Hulk, but buddy from the mountains took a punch from him and was better within a day.



-Shuri’s urge for vengeance leads to an incompetent plan that only an Imbecile and not the sharp kind of a genius would concoct



-How did Shuri have a Black Panther suit perfectly tailor-made for herself when she was dubious of the ancestral plane even existing and was reluctant to takeover the mantle from the start

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here comes the sequel of the acclaimed 'Black Panther' the first. And it goes with both notable highlights and deceptions.

I'll start with the original soundtrack which is totally different from the first opus. This was the very first inconvenient to me as I observed the marvelous trap-based soundscape had disappeared from the whole movie. But it is only to let room to another big surprise, an interesting soundtrack orchestrated by Rihanna (making her big return eventually) and Rema in addition to the unforgettable Ludwig Göransson who directly contributed to give the first feature its unbelievable greatness thanks to major orchestral symphonies. Fortunately, they have chosen to retain the intense rhythms of the traditional drums, which are complemented by the Latino novelty. In a musical way it is as highly fluid as changing. The musical theme of Wakanda's bodyguard seems to have been improved and used with great mastery while the creation of the Yucatan theme also underlines Görasson's talent. Anyway the music clearly is what this movie so intense and poetic.

Obviously as we all expeced, there are many black people on screen, and very often gifted with great powers. These powers also belong to women (and more and more as the movie goes on). This is so refreshing. Terrific. But the regrettable thing is that the 'Black Panther' franchise here desperately tries to be overly political by adding more stories of settlers and colonised in a very clumsy way. Of course Latino people (and many more communities around the world) deserve the audience's attention. But it is the right place ?

Their story, and the Namor's one are really disturbing. They finally are shallow based on what Wakanda has to deal with. I mean the movie begins with major international conflicts and we just see the battle between two hidden nations. What is that political sense ? What is the role of France and USA (as they are showcased in the first scenes) in a conflict between two minorities ? There are so many visible holes in the script. Especially the repartition of forces between the characters. The pace is amazing in the first two thirds of the film but it certainly isn't enough to not make us realize this feature is 161 minute-long.

The last scenes (the battle ones) are really interesting as they give off a remarkable tension paced with a remarkable rhythm. Unfortunately, they are also the site of major problems of nonsense and ridiculous power relations.

Special effects are characterized by many highs and lows. Ugly in the air (especially with Namor) while fantastic on environment. However I did appreciate the evolution of M'Baku and Nakia's characters.

Acting skills are okay. Ramonda (Angela Bassett), M'Baku (Winston Duke) and Okoye (Danai Gurira) particularly show great performances while Shuri (Letitia Wright) seems to lack maturity and charism to assume the role she has to. Ross (Martin Freeman) only gives what he can, as in many movies. Namor (Tenoch Huerta) also seems to lack emotions in his palette. His character's speech is so repetitive and dumb it made me sick.

The morale seems to be very much limited to mourning and forgiveness, but this unfortunately seems insufficient for a film of this scale.

Chadwick Boseman's tributes are scattered throughout the film in different ways: sometimes quite subtle, sometimes more abrupt. In any case I found that the silent Marvel logo exposition in the beginning did a terrific job. It the protagonists mention his name very often at the start, it finally feels like they manage to craft a story despite his loss.

In conclusion I recommend watching it because it is the sequel of a precious turn in the MCU. But I recommend watching it as a sequel, not as the beginning as something new. I don't expect much from the next episodes based on this one.

Victoria Alonso was the stand-in for Feige on this, and had to show how Latin she is by altering the Protagonist's name to a Latin pronunciation with a rolling "R". She also had to show how incompetent she is by only telling two characters to use her great contribution, so everyone else just calls him Namor throughout the entire film. She also gave Shiri the most literal plot hole armor that can save her from anything, yet no one thought to use that to save another prominent character, or considered what this means for the MCU (practically makes everyone death-proof). But when everyone can be a Hulk AND Thor, gets a free-wish that is as powerful as the entire set of infinity stones, in a universe that will be destroyed by "incursions" when traveling to other universes (which sling rings do), what can you expect. Logic, heck even common sense is too restrictive for the people at Disney Marvel. Expand

I'm not going to waste my time to write an entire essay or summary but here are some random things that I noticed:

Disney already faced backlash for constantly making their female characters the "most powerful ever" (Scarlet Witch, Captain Marvel, Rey Skywalker). Well, they didn't learn anything because they did it again calling Shuri literally the most powerful leader of the most powerful nation. She is also unrealistically intelligent and she knows almost everything about any topic which is an issue with many characters in the MCU (Tom Holland's version of Peter Parker). Classic overcompensation.

They introduce a black girl "Riri Williams" who's also unrealistically intelligent and she is a new anime version of new Iron Man. It's also perfectly normal to bomb the police according to this movie... Or cross the Atlantic Ocean on the back of a Killer Whale in a matter of hours.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Elaine from Seinfeld) shows up in an unresolved plot and is dressed like a gender studies professor with purple hair. It reminded me of Holdo from The Last Jedi... and again: Disney didn't learn anything.

The movie is racist because it constantly calls white people colonizers but it's not funny like it was in the previous movie. I sense some actual resentment this time.

It's still weird to me to see a group of black people dressed like gorillas and acting like apes.

The movie is almost entirely Green Screen and the actors stick out like a sore thumb with blurry masked out edges around them.

The story is about mourning and the result is a depressing experience at the cinema instead of an inspiring and uplifting one like Top Gun Maverick.

It's a bitter and boring Woke chick flick that lacks male energy.

Extreme difficulty project that they landed beautifully. Better than the first one in my opinion, but I’m sure opinions will vary on that. This was very well directed. Coogler and the camera team imbued this film with a lot of artistry. As huge studio pictures go this movie was a visual marvel. The 3D was worth it too. It didn’t feel like “just another marvel movie” and that’s the most important compliment at this point. Black Panther as a series has its own vibe more than the others and I appreciate that at this point in the marvel anthology. Acting was all very good. There’s a lot of heavy lifting to be done here and everyone showed up. Music is a little in your face at times but it worked. Everything felt of a tone.

The plot here is better than the actual nuts and bolts of the story but I like the characters and the worlds they played with. It’s a visceral experience with compelling emotionality. I also enjoyed the folklore elements that were woven into the tale.

On its own terms, I’d give it an 8.5/10. Out of all marvel movies I’d rank it as B+ tier.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wakanda Forever

Well, here we are again. In the M-She-U.
But first, the basics:
Is Black Panther 2 bad? Yes and no.

So here goes.
As we walked out of the theater, we daxed, "If it weren't for all the whining, this movie would only be an hour and a half long."
I didn't think it was quite that bad, but there is a grain of truth in it, because Wakanda Forever is already very... watery, even without Namor.
But let's get to the elephant in the room: yes, the Black Panther is now a woman. I wouldn't have much of a problem with that alone, if it weren't for the fact that every beloved character would soon be feminized.
But to make matters worse, this girl isn't really suited to be a superhero. In that suit, she looks like a 12-year-old brat. You just don't buy this role. I feel sorry for her.
And then there's Iron Heart, the poor man's Iron Man. In the comic, at least, there are heaps of references to Tony Stark, like his "soul" as the AI of the suit with Tomy Stark's voice. Of course, there was no room for such subtleties in this film. After all, they had to take care to make everything as feminine as possible.
And then there was Namor... who was robbed of his Atlantean heritage (for lack of other, better ideas) to make him a fluttering Mayan, who then ekes out an existence as a pseudo-villain.
When I was out of the cinema, I still thought the film wasn't that bad. But the more distance I gain from it, the more I realize that this is not a good movie. It all seems so terribly contrived, so half-hearted, so ham-fisted, so forced.
All in all, this is another wasted attempt to take away something the boys love. And therefore: bad.
