Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

parrisjune51 It is the kind of film that you watch over and over again. It is so informative that it takes several viewings to understand and take in the content.It is informative, entertaining, colorful and exciting.The score is so exciting, it makes you feel like you are in the picture.The content is educational, but at the same time entertaining. It is all about the truth, nd helping those affected by slavery to face that truth and improve on their lives.It gives hope to the people and knowledge to all.I highly recommend it to everyone.Patricia Carrington

naimawan This is as powerful and engrossing a film as I have seen in a long time. Its brutal, unvarnished truth is etched into my psyche. It articulates, more clearly than I ever have, nearly every belief I hold about the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, its unyielding legacy, and its continuing negative effect on black society. It is truly the gift that keeps on giving. I have only a couple of quibbles that prevent my ten-star rating.First, I am offended by the inclusion of commentary from that hypocritical, self-hating windbag, Bill Cosby. Mr. Cosby continuously berates members of his own race for failing in ways that he has also failed, without attributing any blame to the curriculum of self-loathing in which black people have been indoctrinated for centuries. Second, to routinely connect violence, drug addiction, and self-destructive behavior to the hip-hop community is just wrong-headed. Why are negative things in white culture (e.g., violence, drug use, severe tattooing and body piercing, obsession with goth and vampire cultures) overlooked—and often embraced—while hip-hop culture is held accountable for nearly all of the ills of black urban life?This film mostly avoids the "victim" message, and reiterates the need for blacks to remember their history, good and bad. Jews perpetually educate their young about their history, and encourage them to never forget their own holocaust. Blacks also survived a holocaust, and we should never forget.

juneparris5 500 years is the best documentary I have ever seen. It is informative, educational, entertaining and colourful. It is suitable for all audiences.The exceptional way the documentary is put together leaves one in awe of the producer and his assistants.There is inclusion of academics, ordinary people, school children and people of different races. This diversity is refreshing and stimulating. Apart from that the various scenes and places of interest bring an insight into the way others live.500 years is exceptional and educational, I would recommend that people of all races and cultures go to see this documentary, and that it is introduced in schools around the world

bajanrash I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It was great. It portrayed a passionate topic and had me close to tears. The movie discussed a topic that is not new to many but in a different light. Actually it shows both views, pros and cons, something that is unique and brings both perspectives to the table. I don't view a lot of documentaries but this movie is a must see. I am a fan of "The Last Samuri" and "Braveheart" which rate high on many people's list. I place this movie on that same level. I hope to see a lot more work from Mr. Shahadah; truly a great piece of work. As I said, it was a great movie and definitely a must see!!!
