I was expecting Wakanda #2, but instead I got a bit of history without the flying cars and spaceships.
The good: -Finally the admission that black African tribes collaborated with EU in the slave trade.
-Big old fight scenes reminescent of Braveheart
-the perfect part for Viola, and yes, she cried in the movie (as did the audience) -The story was fairly easy to follow.
The bad:
-It became a bit confusing if the Dahomey were actual slave traders because we never saw them imprison anyone and trade with the EUs.
Oh well.
Viola Davis had equal time with other actors, which was a good thing. And who was that hunky mulatto actor (yummy). And do you agree with me that John Boyega bears a close resemblance to Denzel Washington.

- Thuso is a genuine "IT" girl, she should be given more acting work. She stole scenes from Viola.

The bad:
- the changing hairstyles IMO were distracting. One day the hair (wigs) was Nappy Afro hair, the next it was braided, the next next it was tangled and kinky, the next next next it was garnished with jewels. Enough!!
