meh
This movie is very meh, there is nothing too terrible but the entire things feels like a footnote, there is no real central character to the story other than the submariner, so the plot suffers from a lack of focus. In fact the most defining feature of the movie is a lack of focus, the characters mourn the loss of black panther, but you don't really feel it, characters are trying to do things, but mostly in the background so you aren't invested in their success, and the action is just a distraction from the lack of anything else happening. This movie just sort of foreshadows the lack of effort Disney is putting into anything they make these days, The visuals are nice, the actors and actresses are wonderful but there is nothing to get excited for, nothing at all. - chethammer-943-857917 - 28 January 2024
Wakanda .......Forever
I was being generous giving this movie 4 stars. It isn't zero stars and it surely is not 10 stars like some people are rating it. That rating is reserved for movies that are all time greats. Is this movie an all time great? I don't think so.
Calling this movie Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is like renaming The Force Awakens to Luke Skywalker returns. Black Panther, such as they are, isn't in this movie enough to put the Black Panther name on it. We know why they named it that, but it still doesn't work.
This movie was ponderous. I mean really, really slow. A 2:41 minute runtime. Exposition dump after exposition dump. Improbable occurrence after improbable occurrence. Absolutely dumb (and I do mean dumb) dialogue. I won't even mention the fact that it's a Marvel Super Hero movie and not a single person hit the gym to prepare for their role. Normal people are throwing (not just a foot or two) people 30 feet. Remember, the Black Panther is the only Wakandan with powers, not the Doro Milaji (sp).
What really sealed the deal and when I think about it should have given this movie lower than 4 stars was the absolute ripoff of the ICONIC scene in Iron Man when Tony takes the Mark II for its first flight. BPWF writers should have been fired for plagerism on that one.
