With all of the hype and positive reviews, I was sure this was a slam dunk. Boy was I wrong. I have never seen a movie so over hyped in all my life. And yes, I'll tell you why. Because it is a BLACK movie. That's it. That's all. Super hyped and overrated based on skin color. Can we all just get past that already... I judged this movie on it's merits. And there were NONE. The only redeeming factor were the female characters. Angela Bassett is gorgeous and under utilized. The female warriors are the best part. They are beautiful and kick major butt. Aside from that, there is absolutely nothing to like about this film. Forrest Witacker is completely miscast the accents throughout are not believable. I am very, very disappointed.
