    I'm conflicted. Film looks REALLY well made. But history has shown original film to be yet another hit piece on black men. Didn't notice as a child, but as I got older my eyes have been opened. Love the cast tho

    Im not feeling it, i want movies of us in space fighting H.P lovecraft aliens or a mythological movie base on africa lore/history. Not a remake or Broadway of a 80s movie. Tired of seeing us as slaves or stereotypes.
