Conclusion on how good the movie is. Most historical movies have their inaccuracies. I would like to see it for myself.

It's amazing that these nikkas are upset about a movie they haven't even seen yet
You'd think these nikkas would at least bootleg it first and draw their own conclusion

The problem is no one in Africa has clean hands with respect to the slave trade.
So no matter if they make a Mansa Musa movie, a Taharqa (one of the Black pharaohs) movie, a Queen Nzinga movie, or an Ashanti Empire movie, the anti-Black movie types would say boycott it while saying that Paid in Full or New Jack City are the greatest movies ever created by man because they show criminality in the black community which makes them comfortable.
The bottom line is they hate being Black, they hate black history, they hate Africa and they hate movies about Black people showing them in power.
For example Black Panther was a movie about the most advanced Black country on earth and still they whined about it.
Why?
Because white guys created the story about it. Well maybe if Black men had bothered to create it themselves they wouldn't have had to. But Black Americans don't want anything to do with Africa, their home continent, so why would they create such a country?
SMH @ DESCENDANTS OF THE
PPL THEY KIDNAPPED & SOLD,
PAYING MONEY TO GO SEE THIS FAN FICTION.
That’s honestly the most disrespectful part, it’s crazy how they chose this story when Africa has so many other warrior Queen stories that aren’t backing slavers

YOU GOT A NON FBA HAIRLINE
Those Queens like Queen Nzinga are good stories to tell but I doubt Hollywood would do their/her story justice.
This movie is garbage just going by the title alone.
@mson if you are ADOS or Caribbean I would suggest you just wait and find it on the open seas as opposed to going to the theater.

50 Cent is doing a story on Nzinga on Starz. But she also made money off slavery. So the perfect ruler doesn't exist.
That's the plan over hereIt's amazing that these nikkas are upset about a movie they haven't even seen yet

Great movie.
The cast was great.
I can see why the critics liked it.

Exactly how I feel
The biggest slave traders…and not even the Opps tribes but your own people!???
Shaka Zulu remake would be so dope
From the wikipedia
WOW...
THEYRE ALREADY EDITING THE WIKI
TO MAKE THIS shyt MORE FAVORABLE.
I searched "Dahomey Amazons 1840 1870 palm oil vs slave trade" and I found this
Fly and Elephant Parties: Political Polarization in Dahomey, 1840-1870
Fly and Elephant Parties: Political Polarization in Dahomey, 1840-1870 on JSTOR
John C. Yoder, Fly and Elephant Parties: Political Polarization in Dahomey, 1840-1870, The Journal of African History, Vol. 15, No. 3 (1974), pp. 417-432
www.jstor.org
the abstract says:
"Analysis of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Dahomean history reveals, not the existence of an absolute despotism, but the presence of a complex and institutionalized political process responsive to the needs and demands of Dahomeans from every part of the country. Each year at Xwetanù (Annual Customs), Dahomean officials met to discuss and decide administrative, military, economic, and diplomatic policies of the nation. In the mid-nineteenth century an obvious polarization developed as two groups, the Elephant Party and the Fly Party, sought to mould foreign policy. The Elephant Party, composed of the Crown, the wealthiest Creole traders, and the highest male military officials, advocated continuing the established practice of capturing and exporting slaves. Therefore, the Elephant Party wanted to destroy Abeokuta, an African rival and threat to slave raiding, and to resist England, a European obstacle to the trans-Atlantic shipment of slaves. After 1840, as slaving became more difficult and as the palm oil trade emerged as an alternative to the slave trade, the Fly Party rose to challenge the goals of the Elephant Party. Comprised of the Amazon army, shrine priests, middle-level administrators, Dahomean entrepreneurs, and trade officials (groups who were unwilling to pay the costs of a major war and who were eager to gain access to the profits of 'legitimate' international trade), the Fly Party counselled peaceful co-existence with Abeokuta and restored commercial relations with England. Eventually, the Fly Party was able to gain ascendancy over the Elephant Party. By 1870 the great Creole traders had suffered severe economic reverses, the Crown and the high military officers were divided over the question of Abeokuta, and members of the Fly Party had obtained positions of political and economic dominance within the country. Thus, the economic and military transformations which affected all of West Africa in the first half of the nineteenth century evoked political polarizations, coalitions, and realignments in the nation of Dahomey."
so I think the "1840 to 1870" line in the wiki is referring to this "Fly Party" that had some amazons in it and their preference for palm oil trade over war and slave trading
not defending the movie though, just sharing what I found . .they should have made a movie about some other african kingdom if they were going to make a historical movie about africa. . .there was no real reason to make this movie and there were other women from african history they could have shown if they wanted to make a woman empowerment movie, like beatriz kimpa vita, or maybe some warrior women from other parts of africa
