first reactions
“ Wakanda Forever is extraordinary”, mentioned @Orlandoenelcine, a member of the Critics Choice. “He handles loss, loss, and revenge with maturity and seriousness, which is rarely seen in the MCU. Black Panther is still the jewel in her crown. Letitia Wright, Angela Bassett, and Tenoch Huerta have some of the best performances we’ve seen all year.”
Creator Kevin McCarthy noted, “ Wakanda Forever is a cathartic tribute to the legacy of Chadwick Boseman. He reminds us of his monumental impact and that he is truly with us. Great performances from (Danai) Gurira, Basset, Wright and (Dominique) Thorne. Tenoch Huerta was AMAZING.”
Commenting on the film, Brian Davids of The Hollywood Reporter said: “It’s Marvel’s most powerful and impactful movie to date. It’s heavy and dark in the way it needed to be and mostly ditches the studio’s signature tone. The craftsmanship levels up in every conceivable way and the performances live up to the hype.”
The comments generally highlight the acting work while also applauding the musical work of Ludwig Göransson, in addition to some highlighting the use of Rihanna’s song “ Lift Me Up ” , which at the time of this note has not yet been officially released. Some of the reviews take time to clarify that it also has its flaws but overall the view is positive.
While these initial reactions aren’t usually that reliable, the fact that some professional critics have been invited, and their feedback is positive, suggests that it really could be one of Marvel’s best films to date.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever opens on November 10 in Mexico with a preview on November 9.
