REVIEW: TheWomanKing doesn't just retell the story of 19th century African female warriors — it revives the Old School Hollywood epic and lets you watch Viola Davis go full action hero and kick ass for two-plus hours. It's great, in other words.

her 2020 comic-book movie that put Charlize Theron through her own immortal-warrior-kicks-much-ass paces. So much ofis about underestimating “the fairer sex” — consider those the scariest of quotation marks — and a keen viewer might wonder if that aspect of the story didn’t resonate in regard to its creators’ experiences as well.

The general doesn’t just head up Ghezo’s security force, however — she’s also one of many wives he’s taken. Whether or not Nanisca will eventually ascend to the traditional role of woman king, in which ruling is divided equally among the masculine and the feminine, over the other spouses is one of a half dozen plotlines vying for attention.

(We hate to say that any one performer steals a movie that so doggedly works to give its ensemble so much screen time and stuff to do. Yet Lashana Lynch is most assuredly first among equals in terms of the supporting cast — Izogie is the sort of tragicomic, shoot-the-moon, standout type of role that brings out the best in the British actor, and vice versa.

The trailer for ‘Woman King’ leads me to believe that there’s an army of women fighting an army of men. This just isn’t a thing. This would work in a fantasy movie but this is supposed to be historical. Sounds silly

Slave Traders. Do your research. Pass on this garbage. Do not support glorifying the Slave Trade.
