Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Ratings & Reviews
- NonPlayableContentDecember 31, 2024Predictable and shallow in a lot of ways but still a good movie and worth watching but get ready for snack breaks and talking sessions mid way.
- naes97May 6, 2025Pathetic
- mickerdooJuly 8, 2025Nice continuation of the original. Wright stepped up well. Namor was okay. Felt he needed another wrinkle of complexity.
- Kevin WardJuly 6, 2025Wakanda Forever packs an emotional punch. Themes of grief and loss in the wake of T’challa’s death run throughout the film, but they are inextricably tied to the real-life untimely passing of Chadwick Boseman. As such the film serves as a moving tribute to the late actor, and features some truly heart-rending moments. Angela Bassett and Letitia Wright give powerful performances with accompanying lush visuals and propulsive score from Ludwig Göransson—my favorite working composer in the business right now. The film isn’t without some of the typical MCU trappings though. There’s still obligatory ties to the greater MCU, setups for future films and/or TV shows and feels a tad overlong. And though Coogler does his best to give Namor (Tenoch Huerta), sufficient backstory and motivations, it still doesn’t really hold a candle to what he accomplished with Killmonger in the first film, Not to take anything away from Huerta, though, because he is truly excellent in the role. Wakanda Forever is easily the best film in the post-Infinity Saga MCU. While it’s emotionally satisfying to see this film pay tribute to Boseman, it never fully emerges from the shadow cast by his passing. Absolutely worth seeing in theaters. I’m probably going to see it again this weekend with my kids.
- DaveMarch 31, 2025Only good as a filler film until his son grows up.
- astronautpngJune 27, 2025I only watched it because Iron Heart is in it and I wanted to understand the excessive hate for that character. Personally I think that in the series they explain her motives better. The movie was also very good; I had no expectations. Somewhat political but very interesting movie.
- hawk99gtJune 26, 2025What can I say, horrible that Chadwick died in life, he will be missed. But they should have recasted the Black Panther character, like they did anyway with John Hurt’s death. Again more identity politics with the Mexican Namor. Which is totally way off from source material. Namor spelled backwards is Roman. This story, basically all girl power. Do I have to same more. Same happened for the Marvel’s. Also horrible.
- Manuel FrangisApril 15, 2025I just watched Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars. This movie had a lot to carry, and somehow, it pulls it off with power, heart, and respect. It is not just a Marvel sequel. It is a tribute. It is a story about loss, legacy, and strength — and it handles all of that while still delivering the scale and intensity you expect from a superhero film. I went into it not knowing how they would move forward after losing Chadwick Boseman, and I walked out really impressed with how much emotion they brought to the screen. The film opens with grief, and it stays present throughout. The characters are mourning, but they are also fighting to protect what they love. That combination makes the story feel more real than most Marvel movies. You can feel the pain, but you also feel the pride. Wakanda feels even more alive here, with more depth, more beauty, and more complexity. It is a country still healing, still strong, and still under threat — and watching how everyone responds to that makes for a powerful ride. Letitia Wright steps up in a big way. Her performance as Shuri carries the emotional weight of the story, and she gives everything to the role. She is angry, heartbroken, and still trying to be brave. You see her struggle and her growth, and that makes her journey even more meaningful. Angela Bassett is absolutely incredible. Every scene she is in feels important. She brings so much fire and grace to her role, and her presence gives the movie a lot of its strength. Tenoch Huerta as Namor is a strong addition to the MCU. He is not just a villain. He is layered, thoughtful, and intimidating in a calm and powerful way. His motivations are clear, and his background gives him depth that a lot of Marvel antagonists do not have. The scenes in his underwater kingdom are stunning, and his interactions with Wakanda raise real questions about leadership, survival, and power. Visually, the movie is beautiful. The costume design, the landscapes, the underwater scenes — it all looks incredible. Every frame feels rich and alive. The action scenes are intense and creative. There is a lot of emotion packed into those fights, and they never feel empty. The music once again stands out. The score blends cultural sounds with modern beats, and it adds a lot to the mood. There are moments when the music says just as much as the dialogue. The pacing slows down at times, especially in the middle, but I actually appreciated that. It gives time for characters to breathe. This is not just about big battles. It is about people dealing with grief, responsibility, and change. That slower pace makes the emotional moments land harder, and it helps the ending feel earned. I give Black Panther: Wakanda Forever 4.5 out of 5 stars because it is emotional, bold, and full of meaning. It honors Chadwick Boseman while telling a story that moves the MCU forward with care and intention. Overall Wakanda Forever is a beautiful and emotional superhero film about legacy, leadership, and letting go. It is full of stunning visuals, strong performances, and a message that stays with you. I loved it, and I respect it for what it tried to do and how well it pulled it off.
