3/10 for the Visuals. Otherwise blatant political propaganda.

Rating: 3/10 (15 March 2018)

Visuals: Pretty awesome, although if I only want to see "pretty" stuff I would go to a museum...
Story = flat
Acting = Except N. Portman really bad! B-grade TV-show bad!
Character Development = almost non-existent
All-female, mult-icultural and multi-ethnical lead-actors = Check!
White girl + black man sex scene = Check!
Political propaganda ruining yet another great opportunity = Check!
So here is the thing:
I just had to make an account here to review this since I really liked the book and it is yet another movie that could've been great but was ruined by straight up political propaganda.
Coming from a time where I watched shows like "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" without even thinking about stuff like Black & White and gender or rubbish like that, the last few years have really been hard on me. Not because I am offended by a white girl having a black boyfriend, or an all-female lead, but because of the niveau the political messages in modern movies are brought to you.
I have nothing against complex stories with a political morale, I still am amazed of Schindler's List, The Pianist, which of course have a political message, but a well executed one. The original Alien movies are some of my favorite Sci-Fi/Horror movies ever made and had a badass female lead way before media even talked about "gender"...
Because of the constant non-sense I could not finish watching Star Wars VIII. Ghostbusters was destroyed, not because of an all-female lead, but because that was the main focus of the producers, and maybe only the third or fourth place was actual story-telling and making a good movie.
Most of the new movies Hollywood produced the last 5 to 10 years were like this: political agenda first, making a good movie second. And people really wonder why movie sales and ratings go down like never before?
Anyway... I am really disappointed, that I had to write a review like this, that I now am thinking in terms of gender and race, that I now can't watch a new movie anymore just to enjoy the story.
Producers, Scriptwriters, Actors: Please stop thinking people are as stupid as you obviously believe they are and try to make great movies again first and fill them with meaning and messages second. Might even go pay for cinema tickets again then.
