“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” was released on November 4. It was directed by Ryan Coogler and produced by Marvel Studios. It was the sequel to the original “Black Panther.” The movie was also intended to be a tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman. It stars Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong’o, Angela Bassett, and Michael B. Jordan.

The story takes place in Wakanda who’s mourning the loss of their King T’Challa (Boseman’s old role).  Queen Ramonda, Princess Shuri, M’baku, and the Dora Milaje must protect the country from a new underwater foe who also has access to vibranium, the strongest metal on Earth.  While they try to protect Wakanda, they must also try to prevent war from starting between Wakanda and this new kingdom.

“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” was an amazing sequel to a wonderful movie. The movie was quite emotional and often had the audience getting teary-eyed.  The movie was incredibly bittersweet and full of various cliffhangers that audience could not see coming. It was also such a phenomenal tribute to Chadwick Boseman and truly touches upon the grief people feel when they lose a loved one. It was also rooted in actual history and simulates real life issues that countries face today. The story was so creative and unpredictable. It also maintained an amazing sense of humor despite being sad because grief was such a big part in it. The soundtrack was also top-notch.  It truly added to the various feels of the movie and had people listening to it just in general.  From the set to the plot to the soundtrack, everything about this movie was amazingly creative and innovative.

The movie didn’t really have any weak points. (Maybe it needed more Lupita Nyong’o.)  Other than that, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” was perfect.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
