The review embargo for Marvel Studios' Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has now lifted, and Ryan Coogler's sequel has debuted with a very impressive 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's not all high praise, though!

Has the Ryan Coogler directed sequel — and the 30th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — done a good job of cemting Wakanda's legacy in the MCU?

Writer-director Ryan Coogler’s film unspools under a cloud, downcast and joyless, says film critic Sean Burns. It’s a dutiful, mirthless movie derailed by the loss of Chadwick Boseman from which no franchise could feasibly recover.

"Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" uses the world around the late Chadwick Boseman's character to tell a gripping political intrigue story about making space in one's life for grief.
