On the one hand, there are going to be internet chuds derailing any conversation about this movie no matter how good it is, screaming 'kangs' this or the like like its the funniest gak in the world.
On the other hand, it's a Sony movie, which means it's more likely to suck than not.
An interesting subject for a movie, I'm not quite sure what their angle is going to be here though. IIRC Dahomey participated in the slave trade and it's decline and conflict with Europeans had more to do with Britain abolishing the slave trade and blockading them. King Ghezo (John Boyega's character) is a complicated historical figure who promised to abolish the slave trade but ultimately brought it back shortly before being assassinated.
I'm interested.
