Every post of yours tells someone to shut up and typically includes an insult. This is a discussion board and people are going to have different opinions. If you can't handle that or refrain from calling them names when they don't agree with you, then you shouldn't be here.
shareeven though I don't give a sh!t about this movie, ohnooos you telling someone they shouldn't be on here because another user insults and tells someone to shut up, but it's alright to bring up racial stuff such as this thread was clearly about? oy veh...you need to straighten out your priorities.

Firstly, this poster's typical response to anyone who says anything negative about the movie is to tell them to shut up and then he follows up with a personal attack. My response to him was after reading (and reporting) many of such troll-like posts.
Secondly, it is a valid concern that Hollywood in general, not this movie in particular, necessarily, but the entire industry, has a low representation of black performers. More often than not, leading roles are given to white performers. If films were made in a country with only a few blacks among the population, it would be less of a concern.
My particular feelings on this topic is that it's difficult to criticize any one film for a lack of a certain representational minority unless you're looking at a movie of, say, Native Americans, and there are no Native American performers in the cast. Affirmative action doesn't work when it comes to performances, but it would be nice to see more black characters and performers in animation in general.
I'll type this: Racist or not I hope they do not cast an African American, Middle Eastern, or an Asian as James Bond because that would be an insult, but that can also be said for some iconic roles even though I enjoyed Will Smith in Wild Wild West
