Rating: 8 out of 10, I was excited to see this, as I am with
most Marvel movies, and while I enjoyed it, overall I was left with a feeling
of “ehhh”. After the first Black Panther movie soared, I was probably expecting
too much. The filmmakers do an excellent job of honoring the late Chadwick
Boseman but their personal feelings of loss permeated the movie a little too
much. The action was broken up by long periods of navel contemplation. I think
they also erred by making Letitia Wright the lead which is understandable as
she was fantastic as a supporting actress. She just didn’t have the chops to
carry the movie and this was only too obvious when they finally bring Lupita
Nyong'o back. She should have been the focus, she’s that good. So, I enjoyed
the movie, who couldn’t when a de-humidifier is the ultimate weapon, but it was
a two hour movie crammed into nearly three hours (it felt longer).
MVP: Danai
Gurira as Okoye, incredible screen presence as Wakandan general
