I was glad to be able to see the movie. It was run special in honor of the actor who died. I had no idea who he was. So when the movie started, was confused as to which was him and who was the cousin. Finally sorted them out. I like action and this movie has it ten fold. I also like costumes. Plenty of that. But, I saw some of the movie was disparaging. This was supposed to be a country that due to a metal, had advanced into the future. Yet the costumes and ceremonies were something out of Shaka Zulu. Even to the plate in the lower lip of one actor. Does that tribe even practice that in 2020? Now if this land is so advanced, why were shots of villages so primitive, like the people hadn't advanced, only the royalty. I saw it as making fun of Africans. During the ceremony for the challenge, once more they were portrayed as primitive tribes. A put down on the ability of advancement given the chance. And then the "dance" of everyone bobbing up and down like ancient tribes. Now we come to the tribe I think were called gorilla. The Queen, daughter, gal and white guy all go to seek help from their King. And when the white guy speaks, the King starts grunting loudly like an ape to shut him up. My thought was so you writers view blacks as "jungle m**k***"? Later when they join the end battle they come onto the scene also grunting like apes. I see satire in this movie. Making the people out like losers. Making fun at them. The funny thing is the message the King sends which seems to pass by the protesters. That being don't tear down, work to change through peace. Not war. The fight scenes were super intense. If he was so sick, amazed how he pushed to perform. Even if stunt men were used, he still had a hard road to follow. How many could match it.
