"Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," Reviewed: When Duty Calls, Passion Recedes
The trailer for "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" offered high hopes that the movie would be "The Godfather: Part II" of superhero movies-one which, after the mighty success of the first installment, would bear the cinematic fruit of even greater directorial freedom and audacity.Instead, it came out more like " Ant-Man and the Wasp," a sequel by a distinctive filmmaker whose inspirations, for which I had similarly high hopes, appeared more tightly tethered to the demands of franchise-building.
