Black Panther 2 Wakanda Forever 3D Movie Review

Written By: Adolph Vega

3D

Black Panther Wakanda Forever has many moments to make 3D fans happy. Sadly it does have some issues that also hurt the 3D presentation. First lets talk about the negative. Black Panther Wakanda Forever has many darkly lit scenes. 3D in darkly lit scenes is tricky to do and it doesn’t always work. The movie also has some shaky cam scenes. This odd camera movement makes it difficult to keep the eye focused for the 3D. Some shots I felt like the 3D could have been stronger. All the negative withstanding I still very much enjoyed the 3D aspect of Black Panther Wakanda Forever. The movie has many nice moments of 3D depth and pop outs. You will regularly see spears pop out of the screen. Sometimes the movie has some interesting camera angles and the 3D is better in those shots. Lets go over some specific scenes that benefit from being in 3D. The opening funeral scene with the people walking during the funeral procession. They shoot some of this scene with a camera in a birds eye prospective and you are looking down onto the people. This simple shot looked fantastic in 3D. One sequence when you taken to the underwater city is especially strong in 3D. You have some darkly lit scenes underwater that work very well in 3D. The 3D isn’t as impressive as the underwater scenes in the trailer to Avatar 2 The way of Water, but it’s still really nice. The action sequence in Wakanda is also well done in 3D. One scene with the queen talking to the camera is powerful because of the dialogue but the 3D really enhances the scene and it feels like she is right in front of you and is speaking to you. It’s not a perfect 3D presentation but overall the 3D is very well done.

Final Verdict: Good 3D

Movie

Black Panther Wakanda Forever is a very emotional movie. Making a Black Panther movie without the great late Chadwick Boseman was a herculean task, and they somehow pulled it off. This is an incredible follow up to one my favorite Marvel movies. I’ll be honest with you and state that I wasn’t hyped for this movie as I walked into the theatre, but when I left the theatre I was very happy with what I watched.

Black Panther Wakanda Forever is the story of Wakanda after the death of its King and the Black Panther T’challa. As the family struggles to continue with their lives they are visited by an outsider named Namor. Namor is a strange man who has wings on his feet and is in search for a brilliant scientist named Riri. Namor states that Riri can potentially damage his land and the land of Wakanda. Namor threatens Wakanda with war if this scientist cannot be contained. The movie follows Shuri, Okoye as they discover the truth about Namor and Riri. What happens between Wakanda and Namor? Do they go to war? You will have to watch the movie to find out.

I loved the cast of Black Panther, and I love them even more in Wakanda Forever. Everyone gives 110% and their acting is on point. I have to highlight Angela Bassett’s character of Ramonda and her performance. Queen Ramonda is simply incredible in this movie and Angela Bassett truly amazing in this role. I liked her performance in the original Black Panther, but in this movie Angela Bassett really steps it up and gives a masterful performance in this movie. Bassett’s heart and soul is showcased in this movie and she delivered each line with power and eloquence that is rarely seen on screen. Angela Bassett’s performance wowed me. I really enjoyed Dominque Thorne as Riri. Riri’s dialogue felt so real and authentic. Tenoch Huerta has a great performance as Namor. Namor is sympathetic, interesting and is a passionate character. Namor might be the antagonist of this movie but he really isn’t a villain. Everyone brings their A game in Wakanda forever and I like all of the cast.

I admit that so far in this review that I have been gushing over Black Panther Wakanda Forever but this movie has its flaws. The movie is a little too long. The pacing can be all over the place as some scenes flow well and some scenes are slow. The movie has many unanswered questions that really bothered me. I won’t spoil any aspect of this movie, but some vital plot points are missing depth. I have to dock them points for not giving us some concrete answers on a few key things. If you haven’t seen the original Black Panther movie you will probably be lost in this movie. Some of the odd camera angles that I mentioned earlier are distracting to the eye and took me out of the movie. Overall my issues with Black Panther Wakanda Forever are minor, but they do add up.

Black Panther Wakanda Forever wowed me in a many moments. The action scenes are well shot and are very cool to watch. The cinematography with a few exceptions is very well done. The comedic aspect is very enjoyable and they know how to please the crowd and give us a break from the somberness of the story. How this movie develops the lore of the under water city where Namor lives is well done. Namor as a character feels fresh and really distinct. The movie has many interesting surprises. The third act is exciting and the ending is satisfying.

Black Panther Wakanda Forever is a powerful emotional journey of a movie. I cried, I cheered, I laughed and I was blown away by this film. It’s a heavy movie and its not perfect, but overall I really loved it and I can highly recommend it.

Final Verdict: 9/10

Black Panther 3D Movie Review

Written By: Adolph Vega

3D

The 3D visuals for Black Panther are a nice but unnecessary addition to this movie. The 3D really shines with two close combat scenes on a waterfall. The movie has many darkly lit scenes and sadly darkness don’t compliment 3D. These darker scenes hamper what could have been an excellent 3D presentation. Pop out 3D is used occasionally for a few fun scenes. However 3D depth is the real star of this show. The sense of scale is dramatically enhanced with 3D depth in many scenes. The movie looks sharp and vivid in 3D. Overall I enjoyed watching this movie in 3D, but it never wowed me.

Final Verdict: Good 3D

Movie

Black Panther is a fascinating movie. Black Panther is unlike anything I have ever previously seen. This movie embraces African culture, futuristic technology and feels new and different but also fits the enjoyable Marvel formula. I enjoyed the deeper themes that are present within this story. Those deeper themes are intelligently interwoven into this story and elevate this movie. These themes make for a more interesting narrative and don’t feel overly preachy. The movie is self contained so you don’t need to watch any of the previous Marvel movies or read any specific comic books to enjoy this movie.

The story of Black Panther takes place in Wakanda. Wakanda is a fictional highly advanced isolated African nation. T’Challa is the main character of this movie. T’Challa will soon become the new king of Wakanda. First T'Challa must prove his worth to become the king. If he becomes the king of Wakanda how will lead this country forward? For the most part the movie flows well from scene to scene, but at times it can feel slow. The movie does a superb job of world building and setting up its premise. The movie has a large cast of enjoyable and memorable characters. The movie does have some minor plot holes. Some story elements feel contrived and fall a little too perfectly into place.

I really enjoyed the two villains within this movie. Ulysses Klaue is a mercenary who has a metallic weaponized arm and wants to steal vibranium from Wakanda. Vibranium is a extremely powerful fictional metal that Wakanda is rich in. Ulysses is a fun character because he is well written, and commands of the scenes that he is in. I found Ulysses Klaue to be compelling and fun antagonist. Killmonger is a very shakespearian character with close ties to the royal Wakandan family. Killmonger is a very sympathetic character. The motivations for Killmonger are well formed and I really liked his dialog. Killmonger is possibly the best and most fully developed villains in the Marvel cinematic universe. I enjoyed both villains within this movie and they both engage significant character development for T’Challa.

The movie is beautiful to watch both because of the excellent cinematography and enjoyable special effects. The movie showcases many gorgeous locations and has a style that is unlike anything I have ever seen in a movie. The futuristic technology the movie presents looks different, but is not far fetched. The action scenes are well executed and are fun. The camera likes to pan around the scenery and give the viewer a unique perspective. The color palette , costume design, makeup and sets are all top notch and some of the best Marvel Studios has ever done.

Overall the Black Panther movie is a massive success. The movie has it all, excellent story, enjoyable characters, and many fun action scenes. I have minor issues with the plot, but all things considered I loved this movie. Black Panther is easily one of the best Marvel movies and it shouldn’t be missed.
