I want to say by saying that I haven't been the biggest fan of this Phase 4 by Marvel which started with Black Widow in 2020. It's been hit & miss for me so I was nervous about the sequel to Black Panther. I'm happy to report that Wakanda Forever is a TOTAL SUCCESS. I think Ryan Coogler and his team hit a home run by paying tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman and moving the story forward respectfully.
I won't go into spoilers, but the movie starts with an emotional bang. It builds on the great foundation that was established in the first Black Panther, a visual feast with breathtaking production design, fantastic costumes, and impressive action sequences. The music from Goransson is once again phenomenal, he creates a signature to this film that gives us the iconic sound of Wakanda while incorporating new themes for this sequel. This is without a doubt a beautiful hommage to Chadwick, you can feel his presence throughout this movie. May he rest in everlasting peace. The fact they incorporated his passing into the story beautifully was so important and crucial. I absolutely recommend checking out the movie.
