Review:
Four years ago, "Black Panther" spawned an enticing new mythology centered on Wakanda, an imaginary African kingdom defined by superior technology, ferocity in battle, moral rectitude, and the world's only known deposits of an enormously powerful metal known as vibranium. The shocking death of the film's star, Chadwick Boseman, in 2020 at the age of 43, created a void in a hugely popular new franchise (the film currently ranks sixth on the list of highest-grossing films in North America, not adjusted for inflation), as well as a storytelling conundrum for the Marvel Cinematic Universe: how could it add another Black Panther chapter without its leading man?
Fortunately, the first "Black Panther" had a plethora of supporting characters, many of whom have returned for "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," which has been met with brisk advance ticket sales. Much of that zeal will be lost in this drab adventure, which clocks in at 161 minutes and is one of Hollywood's longest comic-book films. Following a string of manic superhero blockbusters that ricocheted from one digital spectacle to the next, this one takes its time with character and plot development, but neither is developed to any satisfying degree.
Following a somber farewell to Boseman's character King T'Challa, aka Black Panther, that comes across as a little kitschy (a casket rises magically into a hovering aircraft) given that Boseman himself died, the film focuses on his sister and Wakanda's star scientist, Princess Shuri (Letitia Wright), as the crown passes back a generation to their mother, Queen Ramonda. The United States, which complains at a United Nations meeting that Wakanda isn't sharing its resources, and a race of blue undersea dwellers who have their own secret, watery kingdom rich in vibranium are putting pressure on the Wakandan Shangri-La.(Don't call them knockoff Aquaman: their leader, the Sub-Mariner, first appeared in Marvel Comics #1 in 1939, two years before Aquaman's first appearance in DC Comics.) These blue fish-people, who wear elaborate headgear and resemble refugees from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, demand that the Wakandans apprehend the scientist who invented the world's the first vibranium-detection machine, the existence of which threatens their paradisiacal hidden city of Talokan beneath the Atlantic Ocean. Shuri and her trusted general Okoye (Danai Gurira) discover that the scientist is a 19-year-old M.I.T. genius named Riri (Dominique Thorne), whose hobbies include building an Iron Man suit for fun.
It takes nearly an hour and a half of such exposition (and a senseless smash-em-up around the M.I.T. campus) to get to the point, plus a dull subplot about C.I.A. strategy in Wakanda that appears to serve no purpose other than to set up future plot developments in the Marvel saga. Here you go: Namor (Tenoch Huerta Meja), the god-king of the underwater tribe who has an ancestral hatred of imperialism, fears an attack from land-dwellers who might seize his vibranium reserves. He proposes forming an alliance with Wakanda, the only other vibranium-rich nation, to launch a pre-emptive strike on... er, the world. If that fails, Namor vows to declare war on Wakanda. (He'd also like to exterminate the M.I.T. student as if no one else could ever replicate her vibranium-detecting abilities.)
This plotline is similar to the first film's conflict between Black Panther and the rage-filled antagonist Killmonger, and the proposed all-out war is once again rejected by the rational Wakandan leadership, and it plays as a stale retread. The first film's main draw was Michael B. Jordan's enticing villainy as Killmonger, as well as its brisk, enjoyable pace. The sequel, on the other hand, is sluggish, clogged with lengthy but uninteresting tête-à -têtes and generally lacking in vigor, even in the two climactic battle scenes. Namor comes across as a minor-league villain, and the small wings on his ankles are more amusing than frightening. Furthermore, his conflict with the Wakandans lacks emotional underpinnings.Even after the initial conflict, he tries to form an alliance with them again. Imagine William Wallace offering to switch sides and tell his troops to fight alongside England in the third hour of "Braveheart." The film's emotions would be reduced to that of a lacrosse game.
Meanwhile, the Wakandans have become overly idealized: morally upright, intellectually brilliant, loyal, brave, and incredibly resourceful. They're flawless to the point of being lifeless. Ms. Bassett has no problem appearing regal—she'd look regal handing out rented shoes at a bowling alley—but she has a problem being relatable, and the script by director Ryan Coogler and co-writer Joe Robert Cole gives her no nuances to work with. Ms. Wright, for her part, comes across as too gentle to be a blockbuster hero. "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" may not have the same flaws as Marvel's other recent flops, but it continues the studio's creative slide.
