Here are the first batch of reviews of Marvel’s WakandaForever:
The final scores from both critics and audiences are still several weeks away, but the movie had its very first screening at its world premiere in Los Angeles tonight. With it came its early reactions on social media from critics and assorted other figures from the world of film. And by and large, they thought was great. They used words like “outstanding,” “epic,” “ambitious,” “poignant,” and “powerful” to describe it. They had very few complaints overall; it was mostly one rave after another.
Of the performers trying to fill the void left by the late Boseman, who died in August 28 after a private battle with colon cancer, the one who got the best notices was Tenoch Huerta, the new addition to the cast who plays Marvel’s famous underwater hero Namor. In the film, Namor is the leader of the kingdom of Talocan that comes into conflict with Wakanda, which is reeling from the death of its leader and hero, T’Challa.
