I really enjoyed the first Black Panther movie, we saw it a few times in the theater, and have tuned in a few times on TV.
We went to see Wakanda Forever yesterday, and we were both disappointed in it overall. The story just wasn't very good, and it seemed to really drag on & on & on despite the cinematic introduction of Talokan and its inhabitants. The underwater sequences were too dark & murky to appreciate, and aside from being physically attractive, Namor didn't leave much of an impression, just kind of bland & uninteresting. Which is too bad, we were both hopeful that his character would help distract from the glaring absence of T'Challa.
Just my opinion, but I think it may have been a better idea to let the franchise rest a little longer, use the original script idea, and then either recast the role of T'Challa outright or by an introduction to an alternative T'Challa via the multiverse. Either would've been a tough call considering CB's work is a large chunk of what made the first movie interesting (IMHO), but ultimately I think either of those two options would have resulted in a better picture than what we ended up with.
I find it hard to imagine that I would sit through this one again, at least not in its entirety.
