Minds Eye

This is what you get when you take a classic and take gigantic liberties with it treating it trying to paint over it with all of your PC/DEI box checking. The storyline and characters are nowhere in the same vein as what Tolkien wrote and intended for this entire epic. And then to forcefully shove the entire PC agenda by casting actors that in no way shape or form fit the narrative or align with the chronology or periodic accuracy of the original story, is just a darn shame. I am sure the Whoppi Goldbergs of this country will cast me as a racist for writing this review. Sure go ahead but I as a person of color would like to have the forum and ability to express myself and say that not everything requires a remake and a diversity and inclusion treatment. As a minority myself I am perfectly fine watching the original LOTR with an all-white cast that was given the role on merit. As a minority myself I also have no problems watching BET which almost always features all-black cast in their movies and shows. Just stop...please STOP this entire agenda to throw the spaghetti of DEI on every darn thing. It just comes across as a band-aid patchwork and does nothing but offend the audience of a cult classic like LOTR. What a waste of money.
