                                                 Black Panther: Wakanda Forever                                                                                              

Movie Release: November 11, 2022 

Produced by: Nate Moore & Kevin Feige

Genre:Action/Sci-Fi
  

The movie Wakanda Forever, receives 15 points in the practitioner criteria for holding the attention of the audience for majority of the time. There were many action-packed scenes that involve the main overviews such as: showing how Shuri trained so that she is qualified to become the next Black Panther, gathering every asset to protecting and defend Wakanda, and the ultimate battle that either build the kingdom up or destroyed it. The movie was a total of 2 hours and 41 minutes so, in the midst of that, the audience may have been bored during a couple of scenes due to the longevity of the movie. 

The movie Wakanda Forever, receives 20 points in the expert criteria for using camera work that enhances the story. There is one scene in the movie where Shuri visits Namor's underwater kingdom of Talokan, and the camera depicts such vibrant colors in 4K quality. You get to see the lit up city in this scene that is completely different from the Wakanda Kingdom. The diversity is what grabs the audience's attention and the quality keeps it. 

The movie Wakanda Forever, receives 20 points in the expert criteria for dialogue and background music enhancing the story. Although T'Challa, the former Black Panther, has passed, they decided to take time in the movie to talk about him and honor him. The dialogue refers to Shuri taking on his role in protecting Wakanda. After showing T'Challa's secret son at the end, they added the song Lift Me Up by Rihanna, dedicated to the movie and him. This added an emotional appeal so the audience can feel that there was a piece of him left and a legacy, through his son.

The move Wakanda Forever, receives 10 points in the apprentice criteria for having compelling actors. The actors did have a great performance, every scene was well expressed. But, since Shuri is the new Black Panther, viewers who've seen the first movie, may have a bias and compare her character in the role to T'Challa's. Her fight seen with Namor shows that she stumbles and struggles a bit before defeating him eventually. She doesn't have the same strength as her brother, making the scene drag. T'Challa would have one the fight and showed more strength.

This movie receives a total of 65 points. I will say it is a good watch. There are times in the movie where it would be a little long or you would expect more anticipation. The colors were vibrant and there were many different settings and places incorporated, like Haiti, in the movie. You can tell there was time spent on creating the visuals and script of this movies. Overall, I would recommend watching, if you have watched the first Black Panther movie.

Peer Review

Group 1: Mind Gaps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEkDC6U4KYU What specific technical elements of the film opening did you like?  I saw a lot of extreme close ups of Angelina and certain parts of her body to emphasize her nervous behavior which I liked. There was one the camera was focused on her hand while she was picking at her nail and another where she was fidgeting her foot. Before she began telling the doctor her routine,  There was a dutch shot inserted that may have been to set a smooth transition. The therapist had some clips where they zoomed in on him to show his confusion on what the patient was telling him. I also noticed some cross cutting elements where the clip of what the patient said happened appeared and it jumped to the clip that actually happened which was really cool. What specific technical elements of the film opening did you dislike? Well I didn't necessarily dislike any elements. But it took me a moment to understand the meaning behind the cross...
