Black Is King

After giving us Hamilton on Disney+ they go and spoil it by showing this pile of narcissism in the form of an overblown music video. They manage to go one step further from their terrible real life adaptations of classic animation with this. I fully support the Black Lives Matter movement, but, I thought it was about equality and no promoting the idea that black people are better than white people. Perhaps Beyonce and Disney would like to put more effort in helping the poor and suffering in Africa by spending the money they wasted on this on providing clean water, proper education for the children and medicines to combat the terrible diseases afflicting many Africans who live in countries where their politicians live in splendour and the children die because of a lack of clean water. I'm so disappointed in Disney for doing something that benefits one incredibly rich black woman instead of helping BAME people both in America and the rest of the world.

You can always tell when a project touches on race or politics when you see lots of both 1/10 or 10/10 reviews, it's better than 1 but way short of a 10. It dragged on, visually impressive but thats just not enough

85 minutes of the most visually arresting, mind-blowingly opulent and strikingly powerful visuals ever put to film. It's truly that good.

This is breathtaking music to the ears and eyes. A representation of black beauty, diverse African culture and history. It is a shame that resentful and insecure people have voted this movie down without having seen it. She included people of all races, focusing on one specific race that needs a little more love and celebration. If you don't understand how important and monumental this movie was, I hope you will in the future. This one is for the history books!

Directed by Beyoncé Knowles Carter and dedicated to her son Sir! I hope to see this movie at the Oscars.

Its just one giant musci video, and not the good kind. the one that just has a few shots of the characters singing, and some eyecandy in between. and the music doesnt drive a distinct narrative, so the it all feels directionless. it tries to mask itself with the lion king, but fails dreadfully. it just uses snipets of the movie in between songs, and tries to the the songs after each snippet. but the songs end up not driving the story further, thus each snippit with each song comes off as disjointed.

2/10: just listen to the music, you dont need these visuals
