Robbie Collin got it right in The Telegraph.
Aimless, vague, but oddly without seeming too long.
Anti-American, -Christian, and -Capitalist, this frankly but not very angrily indigenista, semi-comic re-telling of the tale of the TV and comic-book hero in which the wife and I liked Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer bashed white people from beginning to end.
The movie subcribes 100% to the liberal, UN orthodoxy of the likes of Howard Zinn, today endorsed with delighted cynicism by so many of yesterday's losers and today's enemies of the euro-white powers.
We are a long way from the pro-settler outlook of Drums Along The Mohawk, The Plainsman, and Stage Coach.
The apologists of Afrikanerdom pretty much had it right.
The behavior of the white tribes in Africa, the Americas, Oceania, and Asia was no worse than that of the natives.
If they sometimes obtained lands by conquest or theft that was no worse than the norm for the region or than the losers had done.
And in every case theirs was the superior civilization, the losers and the displaced being in many cases exactly the savages the euro-whites said they were.
Hollywood used to share that view.
But not for a long time.
Long since, it has changed sides and gone over to the Indians.
All the same, even a white person could enjoy this film, in between repeated slaps in the face.
If it doesn't occur to that white person, between slaps, to wonder about the price whites will increasingly have to pay, now that this attitude is culturally and politically dominant and the pro-white view of all this history has actually become thought-crime.
I have read in several places that an Australian court has ruled that every inch of Australia was the valid property in natural law of the Aborigines - whether of tribes or of the race as a whole I do not know - when the whites arrived.
Hence whatever was occupied or settled without actual purchase - by whites - though from whom may not be clear - was stolen.
Thus far does liberal racism control the moral and political high ground.
One might almost say that, according to the liberals, and in these parts of the world, a white person has no rights a non-white is bound to respect.
