Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (Spoiler Free...ish)

-

 



The next Marvel movie has arrived and the hype for this movie has been massive. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is the much awaited sequel to the 2018 film Black Panther. Since the original film, Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman sadly passed away after heroically battling cancer. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever starts off with the characters mourning the loss of King T’Challa (Boseman). As the story progresses, Wakanda must adjust to not having their Black Panther while a new enemy threatens them.

What follows is The Good, The Bad, and The Spoilers (NO SPOILERS THIS TIME) of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

The Good

As stated above, I’m going to do my best to avoid any spoilers in this one, so I’ll just hit a couple key points.

One major question many people had was how is Black Panther: Wakanda Forever going to address the death of Chadwick Boseman. This film does a beautiful job paying tribute to Boseman while not taking away from the overall plot of the movie. If you tend to be more emotional, be prepared to shed a tear.

The character Namor (Tenoch Huerta) was one of the highlights of the film. Tenoch Huerta was phenomenal in the role and his backstory is explained well and in a way that makes audiences sympathize with him.

The Bad

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is another long movie at just under 2 hours and 45 minutes. While I felt the pacing of the movie was done right, there are parts of the movie that could have been taken out to make this movie just a bit shorter.

With all marvel movies, audiences have begun to look forward to the big reveals at the mid- and post-credit scenes. In Black Panther: Wakanda Forever audiences are only given a mid-credit scene to give character’s some closure and there is no post-credit scene. It was like finishing a great meal excited for dessert, only to find out there is none.

My Overall Opinion

I felt the original Black Panther did not meet the expectations I had. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever lives up to all the hype in my opinion. It kept me entertained the entire 2 hours and 45 minutes, and I look forward to seeing it again in theaters. I highly recommend seeing this one on the big screen!

The Batman (Like, Another One)

  When I first heard there was going to be another Batman, with a different actor, my first thought was simply “why?”. When I found out that this actor was Robert Patterson, I was genuinely intrigued. I know Patterson gets a lot of negative comments because of the Twilight movies, but I have never held those against him. The Batman follows this iconic superhero in a new dark tale as he tracks down a serial killer. Batman slowly follows the clues into the criminal underworld of Gotham and the possible corruption of Gotham’s most influential figures.   What follows is The Good, The Bad, and  The Spoilers  of The Batman. The Good This movie has a nice “dark” feel to it, reminiscent of The Dark Knight. A villain that brutally kills his victims. A hero not afraid to beat the bad guys to a bloody pulp. Criminals focused on sex, drugs, and all things bad. These are things that the majority of super hero movies seems to shy away from, or skirt around. Although the majority of superhero mo

Talk to Me

  Talk to Me is the newest scary movie to hit theaters. A group of teenagers discover that they can use an embalmed hand to communicate with the dead. The experience is addicting and they soon relish the thrill to keep using the hand. Unfortunately, their game had frightening supernatural consequences. What follows is  The Good, The Bad, and The Spoilers  of  Talk to Me . The Good I love a good horror movie, sadly a lot of horror movies over the last few years focus on jump scares more than the actual story. However, Talk to Me does a great job delivering an original story, filled with more chilling moments, then actual jump scares. (There are still plenty of those) The story is intriguing and will keep you questioning what is real and what is not throughout the entire film.   By far my favorite aspect of this movie is the ending. Although my reviews typically have spoilers, I cannot bring myself to spoil what I thought was a superb ending to this horror film. Often, horror mo

  The Last Voyage of the Demeter sailed into theaters this past weekend. This movie gives life to the captain’s log in Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”. The crew of the merchant ship Demeter sailed to London, as they have countless times before. What should be a routine job and hefty bonus, soon becomes a fight for survival as the crew learns that there is a monstrous presence aboard. What follows is  The Good, The Bad, and The Spoilers  of  The Last Voyage of the Demeter . The Good While the story The Last Voyage of the Demeter is based on excerpts from a classic horror novel, the idea to bring these logs to life was genius. This film provides a story to the events that took place over a single chapter in the novel. While those of us who have read the novel know how the story will end, it did not change the intrigue in seeing how the story would play out. The cast does an amazing job making this believable with great performances throughout. The Bad Unfortunately, the unique take on
