Black Panther: #WakandaForever is Marvel's most poignant and powerful film to date. It's heavy and dark in the way that it needed to be, and mostly abandons the studio's trademark tone. The craft work levels up in every conceivable way, and the performances rise to the occasion. pic.twitter.com/aAK7jjRMra

#WakandaForever is one of the best films @MarvelStudios has put out. Beautiful storytelling, character development, and a great tribute to the Chadwick Boseman. @TenochHuerta was PHENOMENAL! But I also gotta give props to Letitia Wright. Can’t wait for y’all to see it! pic.twitter.com/KY8JdZ4Rm2

With the loss of Boseman, I think we forget how every Black Panther appearance in the franchise has centered on loss. But this film teaches us a whole new way to mourn. I think a lot of fans need this. Others may want more, and that’s understandable. More will come.

And as an MCU nerd… oh baby, world-building galore! Lots of new rules, new locations, and new “gigs” that have me SUPER excited for what comes next.

Let’s just say the hierarchy of power in the Marvel Universe *actually* changed. 🤣

Black Panther: #WakandaForever is as epic as Marvel sequels get. The story is hugely ambitious & thematically rewarding with gut-wrenching twists and turns throughout. You feel the length but it’s fun, wildly beautiful and has the best credits scene in Marvel history, no contest. pic.twitter.com/zD8nYIFKXC

Wakanda Forever gets off to a slow start but is quite moving at the end. Rihanna’s first song is quite beautiful. Incredible production design, score and cinematography. Best Picture? Thoughts later tonight… #WakandaForever #Oscars

#BlackPantherWakandaForever is a beautiful tribute to Chadwick Boseman. Visual stunner, with Angela Bassett commanding every scene she inhabits. Rihanna's "Lift Me Up" will do that for many. Another great post credit scene that's genuinely a jaw-dropper. Don't know about Oscars. pic.twitter.com/55YSor1PrD

Also #Namor is AWESOME. pic.twitter.com/vIvqz3fWL1

Another reason I’m so impressed with #BlackPantherWakandaForever is #RyanCoogler had the impossible task of trying to make a sequel without #ChadwickBoseman & make it feel respectful but also keep the franchise going and he hit a home run. Going to be HUGE hit for @MarvelStudios. pic.twitter.com/mMd9WFjung

The first 5 minutes of #WakandaForever nearly broke me. The last 5 finally did.

— Kevin Polowy (@djkevlar) October 27, 2022

Just saw #BlackPantherWakandaForever If you’re looking for that Marvel feel that has been missing, this is it. Emotional, maybe 10 minutes too long, but who cares? Overall, a throwback to what made Marvel special in the first place. A beautiful tribute to Chadwick Boseman.

— Kristian Harloff (@KristianHarloff) October 27, 2022

There are 2 Rihanna songs in the end credits of WAKANDA FOREVER… the already announced “Lift Me Up,” which plays first, then “Born Again,” which was produced by The-Dream. Both ballads. But the rumors are true, you’re about to get double Rihanna after the drought

#BlackPanther Wakanda Forever is excellent. An immensely powerful story of forging forward — shattering at times, but also beautifully cathartic and heartening. Cannot get over how well the film earns that title. pic.twitter.com/jYZedeJgT1

#WakandaForever is outstanding. It handles loss, grief and revenge with a maturity and seriousness rarely seen in the MCU. Black Panther continues to be their crown jewel. Letitia Wright, Angela Bassett and Tenoch Huerta all bring some of the best acting I've seen all year. pic.twitter.com/ECqGxfEyFi

#WakandaForever is fantastic! Coogler delivers a soulful, wondrous sequel that packs an emotional punch & effectively explores relevant world themes. A beautiful tribute to Boseman’s legacy. Letitia & Tenoch are great, & the mid-credits scene is really moving. #BlackPanther pic.twitter.com/dqoSSfnTR9

#WakandaForever is phenomenal. Easily the best MCU project of Phase 4. I can not understate how masterful the score is from start to finish. There are no weak links in the cast, but I have to give a special shoutout to Angela Basset and Letitia Wright who really blew me away. pic.twitter.com/vzKmvow7Gs

#WakandaForever is blockbuster filmmaking on another level. It surpasses the incredible first film with high stakes and and thrilling world-building.

It’s an emotional, dark journey, leading to a full-scale war, but always feels personal.

This may be the best Marvel movie yet. pic.twitter.com/ZMPMBaJ6In

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever feels like a war movie. It's emotional, heavy, intense & phenomenal. Namor is an incredible & powerful villain. #WakandaForever focuses on grief, loss, & vengeance. You aren't ready for the Marvel logo & mid credit. It honors Chadwick perfectly. pic.twitter.com/glFAFgKX9i

— Tessa Smith - Mama's Geeky (@MamasGeeky) October 27, 2022

Wakanda Forever will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions. While Chadwick’s absence is felt, the cast’s performance is phenomenal. The journey and mourning each cast goes through is felt through the film. Tons of action! Namor is fantastic. #BlackPantherWakandaForever pic.twitter.com/C4X6CicZCG

WAKANDA FOREVER is a beautifully cathartic tribute to the legacy of Chadwick Boseman. Reminds us of his monumental impact & that he's truly still here with us. Great performances from Gurira, Bassett, Wright & Thorne. Huerta was INCREDIBLE. Loved Rihanna's song & Ludwig's score. pic.twitter.com/9eW6uFwP3S

— Kevin McCarthy (@KevinMcCarthyTV) October 27, 2022

#WakandaForever was a beautiful tribute to Chadwick and the weight of losing him. The film beautifully touches on grief & what that can do to a person. Also, the action is so good & very brutal. I need time to process this. #blackpanther

— Laura ลอร'า 劳拉 (@lsirikul) October 27, 2022

Ryan Coogler's #BlackPantherWakandaForever, above all else, is cathartic. An emotional movie about loss, legacy and healing. The story is intimate, but vast with global power struggles and palace intrigue. Tenoch Huerta's Namor is a FORCE, better than I hoped. So much to discuss. pic.twitter.com/cDFVcPYHRR

— Sean O'Connell (@Sean_OConnell) October 27, 2022

#WakandaForever's bigger in scope and scale than #BlackPanther, but its story is also one of Marvel's most intimate and heartfelt. It's definitely a Comic Book Movie, but it’s one that centers grief and the grieving process rather than superheroics and spectacle. Full review soon pic.twitter.com/MzIjwVzjBd

— Charles, Witch from Mercury (@CharlesPulliam) October 27, 2022

#WakandaForever is easily the best Marvel film since Avengers: Endgame. The scope, the camera work, the acting, and the raw emotions on and off screen can be felt throughout! This is the Marvel I’ve missed! I had one word in my heart all night; “WOW…” - #TeamJVS

— Samuel Leggett Jr @ #AIF2022 (@SuperSel0320) October 27, 2022

#BlackPantherWakandaForever prioritizes sentiment over spectacle and for the most part it’s a transporting and engrossing triumph. Arguably Marvel Studio’s most deeply felt and emotional resonant extravaganza. Also Ludwig’s score is an all timer. 🐆 pic.twitter.com/EAZK118L8A

— Drew Taylor (@DrewTailored) October 27, 2022

No spoilers. Wakanda Forever had so many emotions!!! It was creepy and BRU-TAL in parts. Heartbreaking and beautiful. And the fight scenes were WILD. I’m in awe of the care put into representing these cultures. #WakandaForever pic.twitter.com/HHSClXcxoY

— Dani Fernandez (@msdanifernandez) October 27, 2022

WAKANA FOREVER isn’t as good as BLACK PANTHER (I mean, how could it be?), but even so, it’s still a mixed bag. The first half is slow, hard to follow and lacks focus, but it gets better as it goes, and the last 30 minutes are great with an emotional payoff. Letter grade: B- pic.twitter.com/wwf31Q9ZEI

— Scott Mantz (@MovieMantz) October 27, 2022

Takes real artistry to make something as huge & expansive as Wakanda Forever feel intimate and heartfelt. All hail the mighty Coogler. Loved it.

#WakandaForever has some pretty special surprises so do your best to stay off the internet machine.

— Rebecca Ford (@Beccamford) October 27, 2022

Watching #WakandaForever is like jumping ahead in time and seeing a film you imagine might be made years from now. Like Wakanda it’s technologically, visually & spiritually wondrous. Ryan Coogler has imo delivered his best film. A tribute. Full of heart and wit. Just thrilling. pic.twitter.com/Wx0zP9jpoD
