Marvel has made an effort to adapt its next story to the unfortunate loss of actor Chadwick Boseman, to whom a heartfelt tribute is also made in the film, which is to be welcomed. But, unfortunately, it is not at all solid and, although the intention is good in the inclusion of the new member of the Marvel multiverse, the final result is a mixture of lime and sand that does not end up convincing.
The whole backstory of Talokan and its inhabitants is a delight to look at, and an excellent way to introduce a new setting. However, the actor Tenoch Huerta does not measure up, either acting or physically (one would expect the character he plays to be a physical and intellectual prodigy, but he is neither). The scales of power are also inadequately established.
Technically, too, there is a drop in quality. The new Wakandan trump card is a B-movie horror, and some scenes are crude and poorly done. And the soundtrack is not particularly striking.
Idea Factory diehards will enjoy it, but those who write Marvel in smaller letters will suffer from an overlong running time and a sluggish mid-film narrative that loses most of the interest.
