I watched it today.

A lot of the stuff that you're complaining about was done on purpose. They weren't trying to pass them off as the younger actors. That was totally done as an artistic choice.

My issue with it was that it drug hard in the middle. Spike got quite heavy handed with the plot options here, and really felt like he was cramming 50 pounds of shit into a 20lb bag. I understand the point that they are making. He wanted to emphasize the impact and importance of the black experience in Vietnam. It's just that he felt like he needed to cram every trope from that into the movie.

My kids liked it. It was alright. It was no Blackkklansman or anything.
