![]() Peter Jackson's fantastic Lord of the Rings trilogy just made a long march over to Netflix, and all three chapters are each critically-acclaimed. Watch on Netflix (opens in new tab) right now The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002) and The Return of the King (2003) Not only does it feature Davis and Boyega in prominent roles, but Lashana Lynch and Thuso Mbedu earned applause in supporting roles. While The Woman King dealt with a boycott (over not mentioning the Dahomey Kingdom's involvement in slavery), it's a feel-good action movie driven by an excellent cast. While Nansica often finds herself in disagreement with King Ghezo (John Boyega), her power as the brain and soul of the King's Guard army is unquestionable. The story is mostly about the work done by General Nanisca (Viola Davis) to prepare a new generation of soldiers for an incoming attack of Europeans looking to take over Africa. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Woman King, fresh from ruling over the box office upon its release, draws inspiration from the all-women army of the Agojie tribe of the Dahomey Kingdom in West Africa. ![]()
