Chief of War

Reminds me of the authentic look and feel of the film Apocalypto. Momoa and Morrison are strong anchors with a undeniable on camera presence. Nothing looks or feel fake or weak. Every department that created the series did an amazing job. The language is fascinating and delivered so well by the actors. It's an entertaining thrill and a dynamic history course all in one.

Jason Momoa is back with a new series called Chief of War and it's some of the best work he's done in his entire career. It's about four kingdoms in Hawaii that are divided by a war. To prevent more killing and bloodshed, a Hawaiian war chief (Momoa) goes on a mission to unite his people against a new threat that's coming to their land. What follows is an incredible true story and one of the best new shows of the year. It currently has a 94% on Rotten Tomatoes so the reviews have been great. Chief of War reminds me of the Hawaiian version of Shogun. Momoa is the standout here but the entire cast is incredible. I can see this show not only being nominated for a ton of awards but winning them too.

Im a Canadian Native on west coast of BC. There are lots of movies for Eastern and Southern Natives but none for North West Coast Natives. I would love to see a movie of an actual war that happened in my Village of Nuxalk Nation (Bella Coola, BC) We took a thousand war canoe to Yalis (Alert Bay, BC) and we slaughtered an entire village in relation for the rape and murder of our Nuxalk Cheif Daughter. On another note, I fully love how "Native". The usual other "Native" movies are always telling the story of a whiteman surrounded by Natives but not Chief of War. We all know Hawaii men are Warriors but the women are fierce warriors too, so only thing i would suggest is put the camera on a female warrior a bit more. I would love to see 2 women added to script. First would be Portia Woodman, she would be great on set. The second would be UFC Rachel Ostovich, she is Gorgeous. Men like me want this. Im proud of the work you did on this set. Eager to see next.

I'm stuck on this show, 3 episodes in and I'm sold on this. Jason kills this one again. My only issue so far is how fast he learnt English but I also like the fact that there is no time for BS, they really mean business. If you liked vikings and the likes you will certainly love this, it's fast paced and filled with reasonable action and also has a very good story.

Chief of War is finally here and it has not disappointed. I've been waiting and looking forward to this ever since I first heard about it. Then I saw the trailers and my excitement grew even more. I love these types of shows and movies and I'm a big fan of Jason Momoa. He's had a lot of memorable parts in his career and this is among his best yet. It's such an original story of Hawaiian history that's never been told before. You can tell Momoa but a lot of love into this project. There isn't a dull or boring scene in the entire series. The only bad thing is all the episodes aren't released at the same time because this would be best watched as a binge. Apple TV has hit home run after home run. It reminds me of peak HBO when almost every show they put out is a must watch. I can't recommend this show enough.
