This flick is sooo busy. Shot after shot is hazy/lousy lighting, dumb cinematographic angles and movement, extra fast edit after edit and the list goes on. I'm sad to say that I got a headache just getting through the first ten minutes.
I love the actors, but I'm sorry, they're just miscast for all the wrong reasons that Hollywood has allowed itself to succumb to. Let's face it, cultural appropriation works in all directions and this is one of those instances that would be stupid to sweep under the rug...And I come from the part of the world that most of the cast comes from. So it's not a race thing, so much as it is historical factuality!
Beyond that the producers/director seem to be unsure of whether they intended to make a live action film or an animation or what. All in all, a serious disappointment.
