Great acting by the cast, especially Letitia Wright, Angela Bassett, Danai Gurira and Lupita Nyong&#8217;o. However, there is a huge hole in the movie without the late Chadwick Boseman, &#8220;the Black Panther&#8221; who passed on, sadly, two years ago at the young age of 46.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And how I wish Michael B. Jordan was given more than a special appearance! Michael is a heart-grabber, any day. I had also expected to see more of Daniel Kaluuya after his unforgettable role in the first Black Panther film.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The costume and the special effects are also superb. The kingdom of Talokan, situated below the Atlantic Ocean, is out of this world.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, even though some people may think the lip-ring on Isaach de Bankol\u00e9 is a welcome expression of a Masai cultural artefact, I didn&#8217;t find it funny or wholesome. It doesn&#8217;t even allow him to speak easily. They should have put that awful thing on the mouth of a Kenyan actor instead of an Ivorian&#8217;s! Well, someone said Wakanda is another name for Kenya.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, given the chance, I would delete quite a number of scenes and shots, including those sleepy market ones. The sound effects are prize-winning; the one that got me hooked was the drumbeat when the spear was beaten into the ground.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, my forgiving spirit wasn&#8217;t comfortable with allowing Namor (Tenoch Huerta Mej\u00eda) to go scot free after killing our lovely Queen Ramonda (played so beautifully by the delectable Angela Bassett). Princess Shuri (Letitia Wright) should have simply put that burning spear through his heart as he lies helplessly on the sandy beach. Reason: the cataclysm he caused in our dear Wakanda when he came for revenge over the death of his daughter was way too much to bear.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The alliance he is forced to consummate with Wakanda is fake because he tells his cousin that it is a ploy to buy the time he needs to conquer the land world, our world. That means he is not in it in order to form an indomitable bulwark against the machinations of those supercilious super powers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ending is superb. I predict that there will be part 3 of this movie, what with the revelation that the late King T&#8217;Challa had fathered a child with Nakia before her escape to Haiti, where the boy, Toussaint, and his mother now live. Besides, his ancestral name is also T&#8217;Challa.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, another basis for expecting part 3 is that the tussle with the Western powers over access to vibranium, Wakanda&#8217;s prized possession, has not been resolved, so it will continue. Viewers would like to see where the deadly competition will go under Queen Shuri as the fake alliance with Talokan kingdom is doomed already.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, Wakanda Forever is worth my N6,000 gate fee (I even paid for two other viewers). I am not surprised it attained an impressive approval rating on the most trusted movie scalers &#8211; 84% on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.4\/10 on IMDb.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_3447\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3447\" style=\"width: 248px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3447\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/ibrahimsheme.net\/?attachment_id=3447\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/ibrahimsheme.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG-20221117-WA0011.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1056,1280\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG-20221117-WA0011\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Danai Guria (left) and Angela Bassett in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/ibrahimsheme.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG-20221117-WA0011-845x1024.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3447\" src=\"https:\/\/wip.ibrahimsheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG-20221117-WA0011-248x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"248\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ibrahimsheme.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG-20221117-WA0011-248x300.jpg 248w, https:\/\/ibrahimsheme.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG-20221117-WA0011-845x1024.jpg 845w, https:\/\/ibrahimsheme.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG-20221117-WA0011-768x931.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ibrahimsheme.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG-20221117-WA0011-750x909.jpg 750w, https:\/\/ibrahimsheme.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG-20221117-WA0011.jpg 1056w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 248px) 100vw, 248px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3447\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Danai Guria (left) and Angela Bassett in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As expected, African cinema-goers have proved their love for it. The Premium Times reported that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has made history across the continent by shattering previous box office records. In Nigeria, it became &#8220;the biggest industry opening weekend of all time with a box office tally of \u20a6240 million,&#8221; the Abuja-based newspaper said. This figure must have tripled as the theatres continue to fill to capacity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given Nigeria&#8217;s position not only as an African older sister but also a big player in the global movie industry, I had expected that Marvel Studios would cast Nigerians in prominent roles in this second serving, especially following complaints that our actors were not seen in the first movie in 2018 even though there was a Chibok girls episode in it. (Someone told me there ARE Nigerians in the current movie. Who are they? Kamaru Usman, you mean? I asked. Nah!).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Director Ryan Coogler should have been asked that question when he, together with some of the crew and cast, including Wright, Nyong\u2019o, Gurira, Mej\u00eda and Winston Duke came to Lagos on November 6 for the &#8220;black carpet&#8221; premiere of the movie &#8211; the first official African Marvel Studios premiere in Nigeria.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nevertheless, I doff my hat to the director and his team. I say, with my clenched fists across my chest, &#8220;Wakanda forever!&#8221;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div><p id=\"pvc_stats_3443\" class=\"pvc_stats total_only  \" data-element-id=\"3443\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.0\" viewBox=\"0 0 502 315\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\"><g transform=\"translate(0,332) scale(0.1,-0.1)\" fill=\"\" stroke=\"none\"><path d=\"M2394 3279 l-29 -30 -3 -207 c-2 -182 0 -211 15 -242 39 -76 157 -76 196 0 15 31 17 60 15 243 l-3 209 -33 29 c-26 23 -41 29 -80 29 -41 0 -53 -5 -78 -31z\"\/><path d=\"M3085 3251 c-45 -19 -58 -50 -96 -229 -47 -217 -49 -260 -13 -295 52 -53 146 -42 177 20 16 31 87 366 87 410 0 70 -86 122 -155 94z\"\/><path d=\"M1751 3234 c-13 -9 -29 -31 -37 -50 -12 -29 -10 -49 21 -204 19 -94 39 -189 45 -210 14 -50 54 -80 110 -80 34 0 48 6 76 34 21 21 34 44 34 59 0 14 -18 113 -40 219 -37 178 -43 195 -70 221 -36 32 -101 37 -139 11z\"\/><path d=\"M1163 3073 c-36 -7 -73 -59 -73 -102 0 -56 133 -378 171 -413 34 -32 83 -37 129 -13 70 36 67 87 -16 290 -86 209 -89 214 -129 231 -35 14 -42 15 -82 7z\"\/><path d=\"M3689 3066 c-15 -9 -33 -30 -42 -48 -48 -103 -147 -355 -147 -375 0 -98 131 -148 192 -74 13 15 57 108 97 206 80 196 84 226 37 273 -30 30 -99 39 -137 18z\"\/><path d=\"M583 2784 c-38 -19 -67 -74 -58 -113 9 -42 211 -354 242 -373 16 -10 45 -18 66 -18 51 0 107 52 107 100 0 39 -1 41 -124 234 -80 126 -108 162 -133 173 -41 17 -61 16 -100 -3z\"\/><path d=\"M4250 2784 c-14 -9 -74 -91 -133 -183 -95 -150 -107 -173 -107 -213 0 -55 33 -94 87 -104 67 -13 90 8 211 198 130 202 137 225 78 284 -27 27 -42 34 -72 34 -22 0 -50 -8 -64 -16z\"\/><path d=\"M2275 2693 c-553 -48 -1095 -270 -1585 -649 -135 -104 -459 -423 -483 -476 -23 -49 -22 -139 2 -186 73 -142 361 -457 571 -626 285 -228 642 -407 990 -497 242 -63 336 -73 660 -74 310 0 370 5 595 52 535 111 1045 392 1455 803 122 121 250 273 275 326 19 41 19 137 0 174 -41 79 -309 363 -465 492 -447 370 -946 591 -1479 653 -113 14 -422 18 -536 8z m395 -428 c171 -34 330 -124 456 -258 112 -119 167 -219 211 -378 27 -96 24 -300 -5 -401 -72 -255 -236 -447 -474 -557 -132 -62 -201 -76 -368 -76 -167 0 -236 14 -368 76 -213 98 -373 271 -451 485 -162 444 86 934 547 1084 153 49 292 57 452 25z m909 -232 c222 -123 408 -262 593 -441 76 -74 138 -139 138 -144 0 -16 -233 -242 -330 -319 -155 -123 -309 -223 -461 -299 l-81 -41 32 46 c18 26 49 83 70 128 143 306 141 649 -6 957 -25 52 -61 116 -79 142 l-34 47 45 -20 c26 -10 76 -36 113 -56z m-2057 25 c-40 -58 -105 -190 -130 -263 -110 -324 -59 -707 132 -981 25 -35 42 -64 37 -64 -19 0 -241 119 -326 174 -188 122 -406 314 -532 468 l-58 71 108 103 c185 178 428 349 672 473 66 33 121 60 123 61 2 0 -10 -19 -26 -42z\"\/><path d=\"M2375 1950 c-198 -44 -350 -190 -395 -379 -18 -76 -8 -221 19 -290 114 -284 457 -406 731 -260 98 52 188 154 231 260 27 69 37 214 19 290 -38 163 -166 304 -326 360 -67 23 -215 33 -279 19z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/ibrahimsheme.net\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p><div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Finally watched Black Panther: Wakanda Forever last night.
