Contrary to the negative feedback based on limited knowledge of these people, this story is not about the Dahomey (modern-day Benin) people, it's about a female army who led the resistance against colonizers. It is not meant to be an "answer" to "The Black Panther." The "Black Panther" is make-believe; in fact, the fictional Dora Malaje of the Black Panther movie was inspired by the real life Agojie depicted in "Woman King." For those who insist upon holding the Dahomey's involvement in the slave trade as the reason that this movie should not be supported, be reminded that it can never be compared to the systematic and deliberately dehumanizing brutal brand of chattel slavery which economically enriched this and other countries for centuries. Lastly, do not be baited into supporting one or the other African American producers. Support them all. We are not a dichotomy (all one thing or the other). Go see the movie with an open mind. Ms. Viola Davis and all of her co-stars give stellar performances. Five stars, indeed.

Viola Davis is wonderfully fierce and bad-ass in every scene !!! She is beautiful. Africa is beautiful. This is history as we have never seen it before. It made me feel proud to be a Black woman. I cried.

This was disappointing to say the least - Went in with open mind - came out just laughing at how woke/racist/hateful they made this movie. Don't be fooled - it's just not all they say it is. See something else

Loved every second. Never a dull moment. Beautiful, colorful outfits/garments. Every adult who appreciates every color of skin and the evolution thereof should watch. Thoroughly entertaining and educational. The months of strength training actors endured/were subjected to is overwhelming. Their display of physical strength was extraordinarily exceptional. A MUST SEE and worth owning a copy for home entertaining.

Dishonest film pushing dangerous narratives. And it's lame. Go see something else. Wanna support something African American ? Then support something good like NOPE by Jordan Peele. Not this garbage.

Disgusting propagandistic piece of crap glorifying a kingdom built on raids and slavery. When confronted with the French (who wanted to end the slave trade but Dahomey didn´t) they lost 500 warriors while the French lost only 6 soldiers. XD
