Not really feminist

Rating: 5/10 (28 June 2017)

I don't like super heroes and action movies in general, but because so many people posted that it was a feminist movie I had to check it up. But in my opinion it's not really feminist, it's only less sexist than the average Hollywood film. The female protagonist is a very pretty young woman, she is a warrior, but she doesn't look at all like a warrior, she's not the skinny model type, but she's too slender if compared to real life martial arts or top sportswomen, no broad shoulders, no visible arm muscles. During the film she was fighting a lot, but her face remained mainly relaxed with the lips a bit open to look sexy. A male fighter would frown, grind the teeth and spit like fighters and top athletes of both sexes do when in action. When she met people for the first time, mainly males, they would get impressed by her beauty first, so she's still a object woman. Her shoes had heels, not really handy for martial arts. The age gap between her and the male is OK, 5 years, something not common in Hollywood where most women are mainly almost 1 generation younger than men. She was too easily seduced by the first male she saw. She was frequently interrupted or given orders by the male and mostly she was OK with that. A really feminist woman would not accept a man to be giving her orders. When she sees a baby for the first time she's delighted and wants to touch it, mother instinct stereotype. At least in the beginning of the films some older women were also in the scene.
