Part 2/9:
The general audience reception appears mixed. On Rotten Tomatoes, The Woman King boasts a nearly perfect 99% audience score, hinting at widespread viewer approval. However, alternative review aggregators tell a different story. Metacritic assigns the film a score of 2.9 out of 10, while IMDb users have averaged the film at around 5.2 out of 10, with numerous one-star reviews influencing this score. Critics and viewers suspect that review bombing—deliberate attempts to lower a film's ratings—may be at play, possibly driven by racist motives.
