Wakanda Forever.
I am biased, but I loved this movie. I saw it like ten times in the theater, and have watched it a few times since it started streaming. Best MCU movie of the year, for sure. The acting is top notch -- I couldn't take my eyes off most of the actors. Tenoch Huerta, Mabel Cadena, and Alex Livillani were amazing as the new Atlanteans / Talokanil. Angela Bassett is justly being honored for her powerful performance. Winston Duke's M'Baku shines every time he appears with a wide emotional range. Okoye is great, but I feel like her arc ended up on the cutting room floor. Lupita is gorgeous, competently deadly, and so empathetic. Martin Freeman is entertaining in what little he gets to do. Score and production design are getting robbed this awards season, because they are beyond amazing, and have so many cultural details. Costumes are striking and thankfully also being recognized.
Watching the first Black Panther before this movie, you definitely see similarities and some repetition, but considering the circumstance, Coogler and Cole having to rewrite the script, it's hard to complain. As others have pointed out, there are some ... logical fails, but it's a superhero movie, so I roll with it. It was such a long movie, stuff that I'd have LOVE to seen, that might have filled in some plotlines, was cut. While I agree that Leticia Wright doesn't have the gravitas of Chadwick, she's not supposed to. Her role is take us through the steps of grief, in the midst of crisis, and to find a way to let go, and accept taking on the duties of her brother in her own way.
