Buy a
ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. The film could be interpreted as an environmental film but if that was the intent, know that it is not preachy and has a sweet story to tell. The multiple animal interactions increase the interest factor. It is a good child/adult share.
A Quiet Place: Day One—good watch—does not have the same quality of the first two films but this prequel still is a very good watch. Look for a good performance by both Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn. The writing and pacing of the movie are well done and manage to thrill in all the right places.

Buy a
ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. This film provides steady, well-timed thrills that satisfy. Watch for Djimon Hounsou, with his cameo appearances, who reprises his role from part two of this story.
Black Panther: Wakanda
Forever—the
best of the Marvel films—is the second movie of the Black Panther movie series.
This film plays more like a non-Marvel superhero movie, meaning there is a certain
aura that most superhero films cannot seem to break through, but this movie
does it. Superhero movies have a minor goofiness, cheesiness, comic book
presentation that causes a loss of quality. This movie critic usually overlooks
this quality and critiques around that, but Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
does not have this aura or element at all. This film also does a terrific commemoration
for the late Chadwick Boseman built right into the script that shows feeling
and real sadness for his passing. The movie, itself, has more realistic fight
scenes than past Marvel films. WOW! What
an improvement! It stands head and shoulders above other Marvel films. Thank
you to everyone who had the courage to break the mold and enter a new era for
the superhero movie presentation.
