51918, My main problem with the flick is

that he chose to leave out some very, very critical elements that point to the source of the most likely true source of Malcolm's murder and Malcolm's importance (to us) and the threat and danger that he represented to the imperialist powers in the world.

Malcolm was nearly poisoned to death while he was in Egypt and he was also denied entry into the French Embassy. Needless to say, these incidents were not the works of the NOI.

Why leave those 2 facts out, but dedicate 15 - 20 minutes of film time to jitterbug dancing? Where's your focus and your priorities? Which is more important and which would give the viewer a greater understanding on the importance of MX and the impact that he truly had/was having/ and would have had on the world.

Overall, I thought the film was decent, but Spike dropped the ball at some serious intervals, and that can not be denied.
