After the assassination of his father, a new king is crowned for an insular but extraordinary nation, but he does not go unchallenged.
I decided to watch this, breaching my “no more superhero movies” position, because there was some fascinating drama surrounding it.
Not recommended: I can’t understand why anyone would think this is particularly good for any particular reason. Aside from being all manner of racist, it does not provide any intellectual cud to chew on.

- 10:30 — If he’s got a weapon, he’s not a boy.
- 14:00 — I don’t understand. Do they look so different because the four different tribes never intermarried?

- 25:15 — Didn’t the one guy just drink some magic potion or something?
- 28:15 — I wonder if they had a cultural advisor for all the varieties of paints and items on each of them. Somebody, somewhere, must be really ticked off at all of it.
- 37:30 — What the hell is wrong with her head? Oh my god.
- 38:45 — “Sneakers”.. that was a flat joke, and insulting to that character.

- 60:00 — Excellent question. Yes he should have been let die.
- 1:00:15 — So.. he does want to save other people just because he can? Will this be selective?
- 1:02:00 — I don’t understand. Why would he turn on him? He just rescued him. They’re on the same team..
- 1:02:15 — Where was he shot?
- 1:02:30 — Oh, on that shoulder.
