Frustrating

Rating: 3/10 (12 March 2019)

It wasn't bad. It wasn't good. It was just... frustrating. I have three main gripes with the film:
1. The characters were off. Something just didn't gel. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there was a distinct lack of kick ass to the characters.
2. Plot holes. I won't spoil the movie by explaining, but plot holes.
3. Feminism doesn't mean pointing at women and saying "LOOK IT'S A WOMAN!!" That kind of defeats the whole idea. Women and men are equal, neither one is better. It wouldn't be "special" when a woman is the lead in a superhero. While it is a big deal, we, the audience, should be the ones acknowledging it. When the movie itself goes as far as playing a song saying "I'm just a girl" during the climax, it really undercuts the whole idea of actually promoting women. It would be normal. We need to make it normal. That won't happen if this is how Hollywood wants to handle it.
