Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)

Mourning the death of T'Challa, Wakanda must defend itself against a similar force, hidden in the depths of the ocean.

"Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" is an action movie with superheroes from the Marvel family. It follows the story of Black Panther as it was written after the death of the original actor (Chadwick Boseman). Interesting effects, an earth-bound, not quite  monotonous fantasy, there is a need for filler films too.

Director:  Ryan Coogler   
With: Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Winston Duke, Angela Bassett, Martin Freeman, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Tenoch Huerta

Rating: 6.7/10

The Walking Dead - Season 10 (2019-2020)

The war with Alpha lasts a long time but comes to an end and the community enters a period of peace and curiosity that brings new discoveries.

Season 10 of The Walking Dead is largely focused on the conflict with The Whisperers and Alpha that reaches a more or less expected end, by unexpected means. And this focus was well done and well received. In the last part, though, the authors decided to throw 4,5 episodes in the trash, wasting the patience of the fans on alternative stories about new characters, old but bored and fallen out characters or discoveries of intriguing new communities that seem taken from a completely different movie.

Director:  Greg Nicotero and others   
Production:  AMC  
Creator:  Frank Darabont   
Duration:  1 season of 22 episodes (44 minutes each)   
With: Norman Reedus, Danai Gurira, Melissa McBride, Lauren Cohan, Christian Serratos, Josh McDermitt, Seth Gilliam, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Samantha Morton, Thora Birch

The Walking Dead - Season 9 (2018-2019)

Rick's group thrives after the war with The Saviors, then Rick becomes a memory and 6 years later The Whisperers become their most feared threat.

Season 9 of 'The Walking Dead' is a very fragmented mix. With about a third of the season dedicated to the group still under Rick's leadership, the season is then followed by Rick's disappearance and a time leap of 6 years up to the introduction of the new threat, which is then followed by the usual developmental structure (as the faithful audience was accustomed to), and a shocking ending. As usual, the moments of action and suspense are very effective, the filler episodes are annoying and the curiosity of the die-hard fans remains constant enough to continue even after the departure of Rick, their usual favorite.

Director:  Greg Nicotero and others   
Production:  AMC  
Creator:  Frank Darabont   
Duration:  1 season of 16 episodes (~1 hour each)   
With: Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Danai Gurira, Melissa McBride, Lauren Cohan, Alanna Masterson, Christian Serratos, Josh McDermitt, Seth Gilliam, Tom Payne, Jeffrey Dean Morgan
