Wakanda Forever

The long awaited sequel to Black Panther is here.  T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) has been honored by his character’s remaining family and the world, as we’ve come to know it now that Black Panther is no longer, is in jeopardy, once again.  You knew that was coming because a comic book hero wouldn’t be needed unless they have something heroic to do.  Who will take his place and how will the tribes of Wakanda be united again?  Lots of twists and turns, some surprises, some not so much, but tons of great CGI and  some almost relentless action sequences.  There are so many very strong women represented here, not just the guards.  Fight like a girl, think like a girl, don’t take “no” for an answer.  Cheers to Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong’o, Angela Bassett, Danai Gurira, Dominique Thorne,  Florence Kasumba, Michaela Coel…R.I.P. Chadwick Boseman…you may be gone, but you will live as Wakanda will live forever.  Rating:  3.75 bright blue vibrainium stars – as with most MCU films, please don’t leave before the credits are done, you’ll kick yourself.
