       The first Black Panther is hard to follow, Chadwick Boseman irreplaceable. But Wakanda Forever and Letitia Williams as Shuri give it valiant try and they succeed beyond expectations.

       It has a strong story, it’s visually beautiful, it has deep emotions and admirable role models for young black women (well, maybe not so much the soldiers). T’Challah is sorely missed but present throughout the film. Knowing that Boseman died far too early and that the filmmakers no doubt had to change the whole sequel mad it all very sad.

       Considering all this the film is admirable. It would have been anyway. I enjoyed it very much.
