i absolutely enjoy the story of nanisca. i need a sequel RN. my only critiques about this movie is why are they in south africa speaking in west african accents & the sugarcoating of the true story of the dahomey which is digusting. BUT OVERALL SO MF GOOD.

I don't like Hollywood whitewashing, so I didn't like whatever this was. It's the same old pathetic, good guys vs bad guys to get a point across. I feel like it does the total opposite of what it tries to achieve. The only people I see loving this would be people who ignore the reality of what's on screen. Talking of screen, I thought the cinematography was way too underutilised. I've seen documentaries with breathtaking visuals of Africa, the only thing took was my patience. I turned it off 20 minutes before it ended, right when the climax hit because the pacing and sub-stories were awful. The acting and costumes were decent, not sure about the accents or casting, and I only felt the intense score in 3 short scenes.

The Woman King
A predictable epic story structure within a unique backdrop that has its scenes guided along with a somewhat skewed logic. Though optimistic with good intentions, the apparent historical inaccuracies might have held this back from being a more grounded narrative. Action is coolโฆ

10/10 Itโs amazing and so empowering for women but my only dislike is the inaccurate portrayal of the most vile and disgusting african tribe in history. Viola Davis SLAYED the role as always, all the actors did an incredible job๐๐พ๐๐พ i loved it so muchh

More Hollywood blockbuster than empowering story about an African tribe, this movie felt both very predictable and formulaic. I was uninvested in the story, and pretty bored throughout.

Besides the historical inaccuracies, this movie is fine. Viola Davis is AMAZING but everyone else is fine. I paused this and then fell asleep, that tells you how boring the movie is. The cinematography is good, but the fights are amazing. It has okay story but itโs really boring.

Not as bad as the haters say and not as good as the lovers say. Itโs a mid movie that gets by on its acting(except Boyega heโs sorely miscast) and action. Iโm glad I watched it and I was mostly entertained through out(itโs easily 20 min too long) but I never need to see it again

3.5/10 Horribly inaccurate retelling of the story of arguably the most vile and evil African tribe that fought against French abolitionists.
