Claims to be true story but all lies and Fabrication. Near 60 year old grandma Warrior. Truth is French slaughtered them with bayonets in minutes to help stop slavery.

This movie proudly proclaims it's "based on an historical event." If that's true, then the battles portrayed in the movie were fights to preserve the lucrative slave trade that the Dahomey society depended on.

According to Wikipedia, "TheThis movie proudly proclaims it's "based on an historical event." If that's true, then the battles portrayed in the movie were fights to preserve the lucrative slave trade that the Dahomey society depended on.

According to Wikipedia, "The growth of Dahomey coincided with the growth of the Atlantic slave trade, and it became known to Europeans as a major supplier of slaves... Captives taken in warfare were sold to Europeans or became slaves in Dahomey, where they worked on royal plantations and were routinely mass executed in large-scale human sacrifices during the festival celebrations known as the Annual Customs of Dahomey."

Dahomey also is famous for being the birthplace of Voodoo. Lovely place.… Expand

Bad writing and obnoxious Mary Sue characters, check all the PC quota.

Don’t make a “strong independent woman”, just make strong and independent character who is also a woman.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Then this movie is for you. Wokism run amuck. Forget the fact that this tribe sold their own people and slaves from other tribes into slavery to the white man. It's whitey who is evil. I could have a bowel movement and produce a more interesting movie than this. It would actually resemble many of the characters in the film too. I have no more thoughts on this garbage film so now I leave you with Shakespeare's Macbeth scene 1 act 1. Thunder and lightning; three witches enter.

First Witch When shall we three meet again - In thunder, lightning, or in rain?

Second Witch When the hurlyburly's done,

When the battle's lost, and won.

Third Witch That will be ere the set of sun.

First Witch Where the place?

Second Witch Upon the heath.

Third Witch There to meet with Macbeth.

First Witch I come, Graymalkin.

Second Witch Paddock calls.

Third Witch Anon.

All Fair is foul, and foul is fair.

Hover through the fog and filthy air.

This movie is entirely historically inaccurate, not to mention the glorification of literal slavers. Just another racist movie that will be lost to time and nobody will remember it.

Say no to Netflix BS historical revisionism! And, for the record, there is a word for "woman king" - it's "queen".

gross revisionist history and an actually racist movie passed off as the usual woke propaganda that I'm sure your DEI division at work loves.

Woman King," a film marred by its forced adherence to a misguided "woke agenda," ultimately derails any chance of delivering an authentic portrayal of historical events. The filmmakers' ill-conceived attempt to inject contemporary ideologiesWoman King," a film marred by its forced adherence to a misguided "woke agenda," ultimately derails any chance of delivering an authentic portrayal of historical events. The filmmakers' ill-conceived attempt to inject contemporary ideologies into a narrative steeped in the past only serves to undermine the film's credibility and betray the rich history it purports to represent.

Right from the opening scenes, it becomes painfully evident that "Woman King" is more interested in promoting a specific political ideology than in accurately depicting the tribe's history. The narrative forcefully shoehorns modern concepts and agendas into a bygone era, sacrificing genuine historical integrity in the process. This heavy-handed approach does a disservice to both the subject matter and the audience's desire for a faithful account.

The film's characters suffer greatly due to this imposed "woke agenda." Rather than presenting them as authentic individuals with their own complexities and motivations, the script reduces them to mere vessels for pushing an agenda. This reductionist approach strips away any semblance of depth or realism, robbing the audience of the opportunity to engage with the characters on a meaningful level.

Furthermore, the blatant disregard for historical accuracy in favor of pushing a predetermined narrative is not only disrespectful but also insulting to the intelligence of viewers. "Woman King" trivializes the struggles and triumphs of the tribe it claims to represent, relegating them to a backdrop for promoting contemporary social and political viewpoints. By doing so, the film manipulates history to fit an agenda, distorting the true essence of the tribe's heritage.

The inclusion of the "woke agenda" in "Woman King" becomes increasingly apparent as the film progresses. Subtle nuances, cultural complexities, and historical context are sacrificed in favor of superficial and often polarizing messaging. Rather than encouraging a nuanced understanding of the tribe's experiences, the movie serves as a mouthpiece for a predetermined ideology, alienating those seeking a genuine exploration of history.

While some may argue that introducing contemporary themes into historical narratives can be thought-provoking and relevant, "Woman King" fails to strike a balance between historical accuracy and modern perspectives. Instead, it serves as a cautionary tale of how an imposed "woke agenda" can overshadow and undermine the very essence of a story, leading to a shallow and disingenuous portrayal.

In conclusion, "Woman King" succumbs to the pressures of an imposed "woke agenda," sacrificing historical integrity in favor of promoting contemporary ideologies. This misguided approach diminishes the authenticity of the film's narrative and reduces the characters to mere vessels for pushing a predetermined agenda. Ultimately, it leaves audiences yearning for a genuine exploration of history rather than a shallow and politically motivated interpretation.… Expand

Total rubbish from start to finish.Yet another "historical" film that ignores history. This rubbish has been made purely for some crackpot political reason. Not worth the effort watching.
