Black Panther Wakanda Forever Review: The Sequel Pays Great Tribute To Chadwick Boseman And King T'Challa, Nemour Is A Mighty Villain

Black Panther is a very powerful character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), which was played very intelligently by Chadwick Boseman in the first film

But after Boseman's death in 2020, fans were anxious to see how the makers take the story forward in 'Black Panther 2'

[{"selector":"#anim-98a8c5c6-6604-4a97-896c-5df6557b91e5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(8.346874747250453%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b54ce506-4ec8-4f22-9855-dd0f3e792fc6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d987f561-ff2f-4ace-a3ab-0826dd02a410","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(99.28741%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

So it is a matter of relief that the film has progressed very well

[{"selector":"#anim-059f2184-a69d-4c35-8117-4c3a97ab038e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(35.234374910402764%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-264f9ea5-cc17-4e23-be72-e2154a24ad23","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d20aa1e4-eb5e-489e-ab46-de94d267c1c6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(99.04988%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The acting performance will give you goosebumps watching Angela Bassett on screen as Queen Ramonda of Wakanda

[{"selector":"#anim-36d6aba2-9fd9-498b-bcba-dbe1770e0df4 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.367187405140704%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d5cd0076-3099-4edc-a5c4-424928f9c53a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1ccddbe3-dcce-49fd-b6e4-4ef9cd650be5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(99.04988%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Director Ryan Coogler should get full credit for the fact that he has extracted a great story out of an extraordinary situation

[{"selector":"#anim-f992adb0-2a74-4dfb-92c3-902ae68af0e9 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(36.60714277587552%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-66bd49dd-7481-4183-9cf9-7a78a1bf7645","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-74353288-4405-490a-bc32-be915bcff60d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(101.18765%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

If you tell the story without giving any spoiler then the story is simple

[{"selector":"#anim-861f257a-6820-4b6f-8dee-03770baa986e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(28.90624987200394%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-18c3e2f3-b19f-46e2-b004-c7bad940f509","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7b6decd1-49ff-4919-9f29-c318ce2181c0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(101.18765%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The pace of the film can be a bit slow for some people

[{"selector":"#anim-5d873b82-0c2d-4d30-8ae7-16738aa5d442 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(28.90624987200394%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cb29e834-8280-46bc-ab61-42992acba00c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b6e2af88-7761-480d-b618-18e2386c9d2d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(101.18765%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Overall, 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' is a strong sequel and takes its full time to get ahead of Chadwick Boseman's demise
