Metro Newspaper (UK)

This soulful sequel teams an emotional tribute to late star Chadwick Boseman with some spectacular visual action. A maturity milestone for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, starring Angela Bassett and Winston Duke.

Kind of a mixed bag, but worth seeing if you liked the first one.

The Progressive

Rather than position Namor as a man who suffered an unfortunate, but centuries-old, part of nation-building, Wakanda Forever reminds us that imperial powers remain at work today.

The Latin Times

From his [Ryan Coogler] dynamic vision of recreating Namor’s origin to his exploration of themes of Indigenous Latin cultures, Wakanda Forever is an innovative and refreshing take on superhero lore.

Rated: 8/10

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

The entire film aches with a melancholy at the passing of Boseman but it feels like a film that wants to embrace him and move on in his memory rather than wallow in the sadness of the loss.

I feel like the original film was better than the sequel as far as story progression. The movie was intriguing to watch, in deciding how to pick up after Chadwick Boseman’s death and the ending was surprising as well.

Worthy successor to BP1! It maintains the high stakes tone established early in the movie. Great choreography, music, and action. Lesser CGI quality later in the movie, and some of the late story choices felt out of place. But overall very good

Al the chill movie guy

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is a heartfelt and emotional continuation of the Black Panther saga. The film does an incredible job honoring Chadwick Boseman, and the performances, especially from Letitia Wright and Angela Bassett, are powerful. The action scenes are solid, and the world-building remains impressive. However, the pacing can feel uneven at times, and some storylines don’t quite reach their full potential. Still, it’s a worthy and respectful sequel that leaves a lasting impact.
