Shitty plot with terrible writing but a lot of the hate comes from the fact that it's an obvious allegory of the conquistadors ravaging the land and enslaving indigenous Americans, which would be fine if the protagonist wasn't one of the conquistadors sent in to kill the natives (which he successfully does, even killing his own "girlfriend's" parents) then changes his mind and leads the revolt against the invaders because the natives couldn't possibly fight off the invaders without the leadership of some white guy >_>

Several Native American groups boycotted the film

I can see that, but its quite an exaggeration. Even without our native american genocide background, "enemy infiltrating and becoming one of them to eventually becoming (white) savior" is a trope seen across time throughout the world. The movie IS simple in plot and characterization...but thats the point! Its a well made cliche for the masses, but at the end of the day youre going to see it for the visuals
