it not just that the movie be lame . it more than that . this movie be just unnecessary . do we need another western . how about a western with afro american in the title role . sound stupid and implausible and a lame attempt at modernize the genre . it be . incredibly lame and simple mind . it like that lame baz luhrman film romeo and juliet where he set it in modern time to attract young folk and create some hype with his revamping of a classic tale . well and baz luhrman fail miserably and so do this mess . the story be actually not bad however the whole idea of remove the racism out of a racist genre by cast an all afro american cast be racist in itself . it also puerile and simple mind ( like baz luhrman man he a bad director ) . hey ( i hear you say ) this be direct by mario van peebles . he also in the film . how can it be racist . it not . i say the idea of cast all afro american instead of caucasian be . the film isn not racist and it just pointless and stupid and very very boring .
