Black Panther: Wakanda Forever | Nov 11 2022 | Starring 2023 Best Supporting Actress Oscar Nominee Angela Bassett. She did not do the thing!

Solid but not spectacular like the first. Still okay. Better than Thor love and thunder. should end up mid to late 70s.

Solid film. Not as good as the first. Not really as consistent as they could be with the technology of Wakanda. 

 

Nice tribute for Chadwick Boseman.

Of course this one isn't going to be quite as good as the first. What sequels (2nd ones at least) ever are?

 

But ending up in the 70's? I am not sure if people saying that are trolling or just using some twisted logic. I'd say the latter.

TDK, TWS, SM2, Aliens, Terminator, godfather, ESB are often considered better. Restricting myself to cases where the first entry is seen as good to great — otherwise very easy for the sequel to be better.

I think it meant that most sequels don't always catch up with the original. Except in some cases

Thinking WW under BP1 DOM adjusted at this point. Hope to be wrong with a massive late surge after Eday funkiness though.

This isn't opening to 360, OS isn't looking good enough. 2.7-2.8 is almost pretty optimistic imho as response OS isn't looking as good.

Thinking OS will be 140Mish, maybe below that even. DOM 190-200, maybe better if review bump is solid enough.

A better question is how many sequels are better than the original when the original has rave across the board like Black Panther. It's easy for a sequel to be better than the first when the original got mediocre to good reviews but not great. Top Gun(58%), Batman Begins(83%) and Captain American: The First Avenger (79%) didn't really set a High Bar to pass. T2, Aliens, The Godfather 2 are great examples but those are few and few in between.

With there being so many more reviews left to go, this should end up in the low 80s wiith a low 7 average rating.

[jedijake]

I'd say the reviews matter most through the first weekend. After that, the OW reports and WOM take over. It could end up at 80% or even 75% a couple of weeks from now and nobody will care (that that anyone should care at all anyway).

 

But I can't see it dropping below 85% in the next few days.

Perhaps...but no one seems to really care about that much, either... Do you see MCU fans protesting the films over that?  It hasn't hurt their grosses one iota...

 

Yes, I realized that the general audience doesn't care ever since THE AVENGERS grossed $1.5m with its TV level visuals. But I still hope serious movie fans have higher standards.

So do I, obviously...have been saying this for years here and elsewhere.  Sooner or later perhaps Marvel's fluffiness will catch up with them.  Sounds like Wakanda Forever at least attempts to return to some gravity...  But I'm still disappointed reading these initial "hot takes" here.  I'd say it's an extraordinary feat that this movie was accomplished at all, considering the circumstances it dealt with.  So I'm sure it's better than these few "It's OK" takes I see here so far...

What's your Dom/OS predictions . That feels low to me.

Worst I see 455/360.
