Charlie's Angels - A Perfect Storm

- So with the news that Charlie's Angels has bombed at the box office, I figured it would be a good time to take a look at the movie and try to figure out why. Grab your drinks, and join me as I explore the anatomy of this failure.

The Critical Drinker they lost me at....well everything but mainly Kristen Stewart. I miss Lucy Liu and no one got punched in the face better than Drew Barrymore.
THIS MOVIE DID NOT HAVE THE SONG THE CHARLIE ANGEL SONG
That this Movie has Patrick Stewart agreeing to appear in it after having read the script make me think the depths of his own self-loathing must be deeper than the Marianas trench. I'll need to borrow Seaquest DSV to find his common sense to why he would agree to belittle himself in such a way (i.e. doing a Jim Phelps) I am now ever more worried that Picard is going to be terrible than I already was (I knew it would be terrible) But I was hoping there might be some entertainment in it that didn't involve Jeri Ryan.
Thoughts on COPPA?
The Critical Drinker praise be to the Critical Drinker his liver died for Hollywood’s sins
"why didn't you support this movie?"
"You said it wasn't made for me"
These people are so retarded, they yell at us this movie wasn't made for you. Then yell at us for agreeing with them and not going to their woke feast.
@J M Just like a woman, they never know what they want
@@imperiumoccidentis7351 They want to eat their cake... and then still have it. They want everything... without consequence or other price.
"Wait this whole operation was your idea"
Banks: this movie isnt for men
Men : ok i don't gonna watch that
Banks : how man dare to not watch My movie !!!
I never realized that _not_ seeing a movie could be this much fun!
It's even better to just let the drinker watch this garbage and then mansplain it to the rest of us....15 mins of entertainment versus 1.5 -2 hours of painful watching of pure garbage ....
I have been Not Seeing Movies for a while, and it's way better than actually Going to Movies!
I'm sure glad I anti supported this shit. By so many people not going to see it hopefully the large hit to their pocket makes them take a real hard look at the crapfest they've been turning out.
@@the1onlyteagro Nah! It'll be fine.
Yeah, I totally enjoyed seeing the name on the theater and all of the promotions, and walking right by.
"Men feel annoyed and resentful, and women feel uncomfortable and patronized."
No other line has so perfectly captured the problem with movies like this.
Exactly, he summed it up perfectly..
@@aerial5587 Biggest problem really is alienination more than anything else. Preachiness is not a problem in of itself (James Cameron's Avatar is essentially Ferngully in space and yet is the highest grossing movie ever). The issue with these movies is that you divide your audience at best. 2016 Ghostbusters? Men hated it for being unfunny bullshit, women with any modicum of self awareness was it as stupid pandering bullshit and even the SJW, white apologist types eventually grew a few braincells. This? Horrendous flop. Black Widow? God that was shit and I hope it bombs hard.
@@lorddrayvon1426 I would argue that preachiness actually was a problem in Avatar...but James Cameron is such a good director, and the digitally-aided world he created so remarkable to drink in, that the tonal mistake didn't ruin the proceedings. I was in no hurry to see Avatar, but when I did get around to it I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked it. With one exception...the plot and characters were 1980s cartoon levels of one dimensional and black and white. The lesson to take from that isn't that preachiness can't be the downfall of a movie, but that strong filmmaking in general creates a margin for error even when mistakes happen.
That's why 2016 Ghostbusters went wrong...it was just utterly awful. Contrary to the implied criticism in this particular video, Chris Hemsworth's character was perhaps the only element (other than impressive-looking ghosts in some scenes) I enjoyed, and that's because self-aware goofy Chris Hemsworth is always a good time. But we expect a Ghostbusters movie to make us laugh at a steady rate from beginning to end, and the jokes in this thing were such duds...
@@redsoxu571 Oh boy you are not going to enjoy any of the classics like Indiana Jones then.
@@GordonSeal My bad...I didn't mean to imply that cartoony black and white characterizations are innately bad. On the contrary, they're great in the right media. Indiana Jones (which I love, excepting the fourth, and for very different reasons) was a 1930s serials-inspired adventure series, and in those some one-dimensional villains are expected (the protagonists still manage some nice depth, not surprising given how great Spielberg has always been at characters).
My point in this case was that Avatar had a central major message to it (a very fitting one, IMO), but either didn't trust the audience to handle characters of dimension or else simply was poorly written. We have evil corporations that apparently have zero sense of history regarding the abuse of indigenous populations (unrealistic, or arrogant in thinking that even though the empathy for such peoples has changed that big bad corporations will always care zero about such things, even if only to not upset human customers). We have big bad military, all hoo ha with no humanity whatsoever. Etc. Take the same movie with the same general plot and simply widen the characterizations a bit (some hesitancy, doubt, regret, anything along those lines) and you'd have a stronger movie; create realistically conflicted characters who outright wrestle with the right thing to do and you could have had a masterpiece, given what the film did so well.
If the point was to simply showcase the eye popping effects and world building, Cameron could have pulled back on the plot and made it about exploration and discovery, rather than exploitation. Heck, given the five film plan, that would have made even more sense, saving exploitation, conflict, abuse, rebellion for later, once simply going to Pandora wouldn't be enough for an audience.
That's what I was intending to speak towards. Hope that makes sense!
There was a hilarious interview where Elizabeth Banks said that men should have enough empathy to watch movies with female leads. I always thought the goal of seeing a movie was to be entertained, not to express "empathy" for the people who made it.
That's literally my sister's explanation of why men should watch women's sports but women are excused from it "because most of us don't watch sports in the first place."
I thought "representation matters." Either it matters or it doesn't.
@@rorygillmore6555 no offence, but I really hope your sister has a functional spare brain for regular daily activities because the one that came up with this idea will get her into trouble
I just watched it because it was a great fuckdoll parade.
I only watched it because it was a great f..kdoll parade.
And I hate that I have to censor my speech, mankind is really just a bunch of wussies.
It's funny that they point out toxic masculinity in men but use the same qualities to empower women.
C P
Narcissists will project!
I never thought about that and oh my God hahaha mind blown
that's because men don't know how to use masculinity. Only women know these things!
You've just described modern feminism.
Walter Comunello this is sarcasm right
"I do this so you don't have to".
Not all heroes wear capes.... Or are sober.
Come on, superheroes ain't sober. You need to be quite drunk before you decide it's OK to go out in a Batman outfit. And let's not even mention Captain America. You'd need to fill me up with booze until I burst before I'm going to dress up as an American flag right before entering a muddy battlefield 🤪
*Hancock has joined the chat
Disregarding the "they made all men weak": if your villain is weak, so is your hero. Or heroine. You need a strong villain to show how badass your hero is.
so technically they're all weak
That's way too involved for these sad sjw minds to comprehend. Remember, to them, the world doesn't work based in facts; It works based on the current emotional outrage of a virtue signalling small popular minority...
No! Man bad! Woman strong!

I love his term for Grace in Terminator Dark Fate - “Androgynous Thing” 😂😂 and his accent just makes everything sound better
Why does the feminist fantasy of the perfect woman, mimic to the "T", the stereotype of the alpha male...the same stereotype that they're always complaining is "toxic"?
Penis envy.
Good question.

Judge Anderson from the 2012 Dredd film is a perfect example of how to make a strong female action hero. She's not punching out men twice her size one after the other, she's using her unique abilities combined with her wits and weaponry to make it through. She even undergoes some proper and believable character development, from nervous and adrenaline-soaked rookie to a more hardened Judge ready to deal with the horrific reality of the job. For God's sake, she can literally read peoples minds and she's a more believable character than anyone in this film.
Dredd (2012),
what a great action flick.
I was trying to think of a strong character who happens to be female recently and this fits perfectly.
@@ReeseLeeArt the fact that this "recent" example is over a decade old is a disturbing thing to think about.
And they had a strong female villain who was believable.

Funny how the Critical Drinker, who is only one man, is more accurate than Rotten Tomatoes 100% of the time.
The only way he could make this better is to actually be hammered while reading his laser precise analysis.
According to audiences, Critical Drinker is more accurate than Rotten Tomatoes 98% of the time, but according to critics, he's only more accurate 7% of the time.
he is better at writing than 99% of Hooliwood writer
Why does this movie have 79% on rotten from audience score when both the critics score and imdb score are way lower?
Less than 100%. Drinker missed the mark on HBO’s Watchmen.

"Who was this film for?"
Elisabeth Banks.
Yes but Banks didn't take this movie to the bank. It was a flop
Too bad she ruined her likability from the lego movie and hunger games.
@@-12Sided Wait she was in the Lego movie l didn't even know
@@pixie_sprite she was wildstyle
Specifically her ego.
Kristen Stewart unironically looks very pretty done up as a girly girl, even if she’s only doing it satirically
The fact that her "disguise" made her look better than her actual character's look is too funny lol
I was just about to comment that. It's like Bree Larson in Endgame. She was pretty in the first half hour, until she got that God awful haircut
that's racist
Well, except her face, of course.
@@johnnysalery7383is it? The purpose of the clothing you wear shouldn’t always be to make yourself look as attractive as possible, a lot of the time what makes you look good brings some level of awkwardness/discomfort, and that’s especially true for women
News: “Men under increasingly hostile social environments, women most affected.”
It's actually true. All those mid 30s women complaining they can't find a man. 😆
I think its the whole point of these movies, so you stay single and resent each other without making family
@@kdgang1 That's a big part of the socialist utopian agenda - breaking down the family unit.
@@kdgang1 All they're making me do is resent Hollywood.
I can't for the life of me imagine how this movie is suppose to be fun to watch for a woman. If I was a woman and saw this, I would just feel embarrassed. Not really positive representation in any sense of the term.
Here's the problem. Charlie's Angel's is a movie about stripper ninjas who neither strip, nor are they ninja.
I like that explanation lol
🤣 this made me laugh
Can we just get some stripper ninja?
only preteen girls like this stuff, question remains: "why let ur impressionable preteen watch this crap"?
I think strippers are played out in cinema, but Id watch a film about female ninja strippers, I mean Roger Corman made a career out of those kind of films. WHERE IS THE CURRENT DAY ROGER CORMAN?!?!?
I worked on this film. Half the crew banged our heads into the wall seeing from day1 of production quite how awful it was gonna be. And more than a few of us have said "we hope at least the drinker does something good with this!". ;)
I'm so sorry. It indeed must have been a horrific experience to work on this film in any capacity.
So the Drinker actually has a following among people in the film industry?

She literally claimed that if you don’t pay to watch this movie in cinemas, that you’re a sexist.
The scary thing is, people tried to defend her as if they same people that shit on this movie, enjoy watching the originals.
I just find it funny how women like her think it’s fine to say “there’s been too much men on screen therefore other men shouldn’t have a chance regardless of their talent or merit”
But complain when others say “I don’t think this is good” and cry about how it’s somehow related to what’s between their legs.
Also, not to mention - people would complain seeing Patrick Stewart try to beat up the same people the Angles did for the exact same reasons (unrealistic and stupid) but somehow because he’s a man, it becomes a valid complaint.
@@thatboymeak I guess I’m a sexist then, because I literally had no idea this movie existed until the crapstorm that was 2020.
The fact that this and dark fate flopped so hard makes me happy
@Sherie Brodigan oh shut up and get back to the kitchen.
@Andrew Jackson Because they're failing to make a profit out of our favourite things. If that shit of woke-minator was a success they would've made another 2, now they have to lick their wounds, and so has to do that Bank-feminazi. Anyway it's not like you can consider those things canon.
@Andrew Jackson I see your point, but the only thing we can do is talk about how bad they're, making them fail at the boxoffice and making famous movies that really are good, helping them stay relevant in the history of film making, and that's not something these sjws will be able to erase.
Eventually new generations of actors and directors will crave a piece of that fame and they'll make what the public really wants. That's what I think and what I hope.
Alex Freetime Yep, there’s people on RUclips making their own low budget tv series. There’s old tv shows and movies we can look around for and watch.

Not only is no one surprised this bombed, I doubt anyone cares.
I care cause it sets a precedent. So movies like StarWars will make money regardless of how bad they are and encourage people to keep turning franchises into trash.
Maybe woke journos care, but only because they get paid for it. For the time being.
I care very much that it should fail thank you.
Lucius Fawkes Probably a lot more. Hollywood are so self absorbed with their narrative that they’re probably oblivious.

The movie was a bonus prize associated with her (banks) doing Pitch Perfect 2 & 3. It took years to get into production because nobody really wanted to do it and they kept thinking they could find something that would stop her (Banks) from actually making it. They made the budget as low as they could (~$50m) to try and convince her not to do it. But she was hell-bent on doing a Charlie's Angels movie.
Jim Tuner I see what you did there
Thank goodness for RUclips. Some writer in Scotland turns out to be the best movie reviewer ever.
Díaz, Lou, and Barrymore didn’t have an agenda in mind when the movie was made. They were probably like, wow this is a ridiculous script let’s have some fun and since we are actors people are going to watch this so let try to make it fun for them.
Imagine a movie made for the sake of fun and entertainment... the horror....
That was horrible, too.
Exactly 😉
FYI, it's spelled Liu. But yeah, it was a fun bit of camp. Kinda like D.E.B.S., but with less overt lesbians.
Also, the victories in those earlier movies meant something because the male and female antagonists were clever and dangerous. If someone overcomes someone like that it feels empowering because it IS. If the heroes are already infallible, who cares?
The thing is the older movies didn’t just have some petty white dude as the villain, the first movie was a partnership of a super genius and his female partner (who was most of the driving force of their plans and quite handy in a fight) and the sequel was a former member of there own group who had basically decided to use her skills as a former angel to massively profit. They’re was no agenda of “men do bad, woomen gooder!” Within the movie as a whole
"Jesus, the first world war was wrapped up quicker than this thing"

Jackisawinner even quicker if you are a yank.
To be fair, it was almost exactly 14 years between the 9/11 terror attacks and the completion of the Freedom Tower to replace the WTC, while the empire state building took barely over a year to build. The war in Iraq and Afghanistan have lasted nearly 20 years, while WW2 lasted not even 10. Everything takes longer now - even if they are pointless and without virtue compared to their antecedents.

Those feminist filmmakers should take a lesson from Terminator or Alien movies. Ripley and Connor are the true example of badass action characters that don't have to scream "Women are better than men" every screen.
Hell yeah
I think Hit-Girl was the best representation of feminism. Mindy doesn’t CARE what people think of her. She tried doing the makeup and the dating and the dances and all of it was thrown back in her face. When her dad was killed, she didn’t cry. She didn’t complain. She got PISSED and went and killed the men who took her only family left. And guess what?! An ADULT MAN punches her! He CHOKES her! And not ONCE does Mindy cry or try to use her gender or age as a handicap. She bit him, stabbed him where she could reach, and used her appearance to an advantage even. And this was 2009/2010/2011.
Even Sidney Prescott from SCREAM. She was a 17 year old girl who’d seen her mom cut up. The first time Ghostface tried to kill her, she dodged and even kicked him in the leg when being thrown. And she only gets tougher and tougher with each sequel. By Scream 4 she asks Ghostface to come after her and minutes later kicks him square in the jaw.

The worst thing a movie can do is to treat the audience with DISRESPECT.
And if it's a sequel, prequel, remake or reboot, the SECOND worst thing it can do is treat the original source material with disrespect (I'm lookin' at you, repugnant 2014 'Annie' reboot; I bet the Drinker could absolutely fricassee that one if he so chose).

The old movie with Drew Barrymore is legitimately funny and has good action sequences. The fact that they play up the camp factor makes the whole thing run smoothly
It’s a classic as far as I’m concerned. It should be put on a pedestal for kids today to see how to properly make a fun movie that leaves the audience feeling good, and that they’ll enjoy watching for years to come.
Yeah, the fight with slicked-back, black-hair dude and the tune from The Prodigy playing in the background is legit entertaining to watch. Nothing in the new film was.
@@inceptional It's so strange to me that so many modern action films forget to make the action fun to watch. It's like they've forgotten the primary purpose of making an action movie. Even "bad" actions movies of the 80s and 90s were still at least fun to watch (for the most part).
But then again they keep hiring drama directors for mUh FeMaLE rePReseNtATioN so I guess this makes sense.

In the interest of ballance here, the line "There was a gun fight at my wedding" "I didn't know you were married." "I'm not, I was the better shot." was actually well delivered and (compared to the other attempts in the movie) quite a good joke... and the "movie buff scene" mostly worked. And they are the only positives I can come up with.

I prefer actual lectures to movies that feel like lectures... bitch, you're not even subtle.
Hollywood wouldn't keep pumping them out if they weren't huge hits with general audiences...... right?
I, personally, can't wait to not see this movie.
I'm actually not seeing it RIGHT NOW!!
How crazy is that???
@@FeralLogic Lucky! I have to wait until the weekend to not watch this film. So looking forward to seeing anything but.
I'm probably pirate it. I buy movies that are good but this? Meh....
@ MST3K...
Can I go and not see it with you?
"There's something mesmerizing about such a perfect disaster" is a great explanation of half my social media activities.
10 years ago:
"Ey, lets watch a movie!"
Today:
"Ey, lets see what Drinker has to say about it and the decide if we are going to watch it"
Cheers to that mate.
today i just skip the cinema and go straight the the Drinker's channel... spend an awful lot of time here, watching and laughin' movies reviews about films that i will never watch
Try thinking for yourself once in a while
Believe that!!!
The Drinker is still batting 1000 in regards to calling out dreck such as this.
Henceforth, this movie shall be named: Charlie’s Mary Sues
James Mayfield 😂😂😂
Weekly planet reference? 🤔
I don't know.
I kinda think it will me named: "What? I Didn't See It"
It should be named Charlie's Feminazi sleep paralysis demon
"Delivering the final blow to the Patriarchy by knocking out an 80 year old man". Quality stuff :)
Elizabeth Banks: "You hate this movie because you hate powerful women"
Me: points at- Princess Leia, Wonder Woman, Mystique, Lara Croft, Kumiko, Jyn Erso, Wanda, etc.

Claudia Cardinale in Once Upon a Time in the West. Hanoi Jane in Barbarella
Samus, Lara Croft, The Bride, Buffy, and Ripley
Hey, they were worried about the ‘male gaze’...now they’re completely free of it!

Sad but accurate
Damn those 70's Angels were smoking. I love that Daisy Duke, pre-silicon femininity.
the 2000's angels had appeal to. as the drunkl said "they had chemestry" and were very fun to watch.

70s women were the most beautiful in history. 90s second.

I really hope it won't be a case with this one.

Diaz, Lu, and Barrymore were also hot and had fun being hot.
They knew full well who they were supposed to appeal to and embraced it completely.
Also Barrymore? She'd be more at home starring in a movie about Amy Schumer or 2018 version of Adele.

"Theoretically, she is a character in this film"
I laughed way harder than that as I should, and I wonder why I haven't been using this phrase before in my own reviews of films and dramas.
The movie wasn’t even fun. That’s the whole point of the 2000 movies.
Yeah, I watched the 200s one cuz it was fun and campy, because Charlie's angels has always been cheesy as hell. This one seemed way too try hard.
I thought this movie was super fun, and I loved seeing all the references to the 2000’s movies like those costumes. And I thought the jokes were funny, I laughed out loud
The sequel with Demi Moore though was a mess.
John Gable Smith why do people think that? Full a Throttle wasn’t bad at all
@@juliusminaj It was OK but the first once was definitely better
My first favorite female antagonist was always Irene Adler from the Sherlock Holmes series. She was only in one book but she was relatable and smart. She was the only character that escaped from Sherlock and he never caught her. That is why I always liked her, she wasn't contrived from a sense of SJW or PC culture, she was legitimately made up to be who she really was, just a badass.
Adler is an awesome character and goes toe-to-toe with Sherlock and used her sex appeal to play to Sherlock’s weakness. It’s femininity done correctly
Irene Adler uses her femininity as a weapon. She knows what buttons to push and how to play situations with men. Especially Sherlock.
We can't have that now.
She was eventually "SHERLOCKED"
@@osakoedward damn
@@osakoedward she dies, didn't she?
Are we going to pretend Hollywood today is even capable of creating a character as badass as Ripley? Lol.
If there done making underworld films, I'd say were definitely done with a true badass main character that's female until 2030 at this point. Not getting more Sarah Connor's, not even Alice from Resident Evil for that manner either. Atomic Blonde was a huge anomaly and apparently is supposed to getting a sequel, but who knows.
Or Sarah Connor.
@@shakthiganesh5117 ah, you bet me to it.
@@shakthiganesh5117, Even Vasquez who wasn't a star/main character! Also I hated the Ripp Off Vasquez in Army Of The Dead (Even though the Actor was A Badass!) Which had Sooooo much potential but felt Meh!
the director man. 1st was Ridley Scott, 2nd was fcking James Cameron, 3rd was David Fincher. All are competent and talented directors. (all men also)
This review was worth the price of the movie! "Mouth Breather and Gigantor" was killing me!
👊🤣x3
I took my girlfriend to watch this movie. I asked her what she thought of it afterwards. Her reply of "Next time, You'll choose the film" pretty much told me all I needed to know.
Also, this was the first time she went to get some snacks during the film and took an unusually long time.
Reminds me of watching The Last Jedi. Went to the bathroom, and I sat down and I waited. Didn't miss much, since the movie is like four hours long.
@@MrNickPresley LOL
She was probably sucking off a guy that didn’t take her to a horrible film 👍
She's a keeper!
She owns you now.
They even managed to ruin an already female driven franchise. No gender swaping.
Yeah, naw. That was impressive.
They gender swapped Charlie.
They gender swapped Charlie.
They need to make Charlie's Angels a team of trans
Can this be cited as an example of "toxic femininity"?

@Alexander Steel Damn I'm a pussy compared to you
Oh Critical Drinker, I salute & drink to you. There is too much, beautifully articulate, much needed, magnificent commentary to single out to comment on here so, bless you Sir, I'll have another drink to you!
It's seems like Hollywood is making aggressively bad movies and then they get mad when nobody wants to see it.
The best part is that getting mad at the lack of audience is a terrible business. So they either realize they got it all wrong, or they go bankrupt in a few years.
Kristen Stewart only agreed to do this movie on the condition that she would be paid in Xanax.
Ok , that was hilarious.
That's why she smiled! Oh, it all makes sense 🤣
Fucking epic mate!
She mentioned she was chewing on them in her new film underwater. This mouth breather can’t get enough of em so makes sense.
Are you sure it wasn’t that she wanted to hook up with the director? She’s been down that road before....
What many people are failing to understand, movies like this and Captain Marvel, are the movie industries latest attempts to thwart movie piracy.
Even pirates have standards. Unlike sjw / feminazis .
Ai Even pirates have standards
Good line
I like
It's working, nobody pirated this movie. Or saw it in theaters...
Lol
Well, it's working. XD
@00:58-01:06
Why is it that I am not so surprised that a lot of people didn't even know that the original 1970's TV series even existed? This is truly a very sad time to live in, my friends.
This movie had almost no advertising, I didn't even know it was out.
The studio knew what it was doing
The trailer looked like every bad Bond Flick to the power of 10. And skinny angry chicks?
Hugh-John Fleming I believe that was the working title
Who even cared ? Homowood Isn't getting a red cent from me ,call me a deplorable and then espect me to pay you? Not this Fuking time
Sony knows it's just the price of having to deal with quality in the workplace, Based Japanese.
The movies are woke, but the profits are asleep
Plot Twist the movie is just as sleep. Good joke tho
brilliant
The profits went to Red Dead 2 instead. Something actually worth its value.
Wealthy elite donors with hollywood ties: Plenty more money where that came from...
Well played.😂😂
Banks: 'Men didn't come see my movie I specifically didn't make for them. They are all meanies!!! :'('
I hope they are going to start saying men made their women not go. Because they don't let them out of the kitchen. Lol
Is that like the most stupidest thing she could possibly say
she should ask herself why women had no interest in the movie.
Banks should be blaming Larson, she’s the one who told us to ignore these projects, I mean I was gunna see A Wrinkle in Time but then she said it wasn’t for me. I was gunna go see this but then I heard Larson’s voice in my head and was like “I guess I’ll spend that $12 on another two shots of whiskey.”
@@Revan-eb1wb I'm glad you said that because that's what I've been asking... Elizabeth Banks does not say one thing about that.
Now I wanna go see the original Charlie's Angels. I was too young to appreciate it when it came out, and it might be really fun to watch now.
The originals were great, and exactly as he describes. Fun and light-hearted and didn't take themselves too seriously. There was no need for this terrible remake.
You know, vanity projects used to be about something you loved. Now, they're about something you'd love to tear down.
Our side is love; their "woke" side is hate.
So true. It's almost like, pre-2015 and definitely pre-2010, those working on this stuff said things along the lines of "this is my vanity/passion project-I've always wanted to make an adaptation of this, and work with these actors and I met some of the originals and also talked too..." and it'd go on cause they idk, cared?
Today it's literally "look what I got my hands on, this should be fun let me make my movie pushing whatever crap I can toss out that runs like bad fan-fiction and cry when nobody likes it later."
Seeing her throw those elbows makes me cringe every damn time.
It's almost like she's trying to wash the semen she just ejaculated on that man's face off like a windshield wiper on a sports car. smh
The weird thing is, it's like she's rubbing his face with her forearm
@@comyxcon4gaming860 she's a he?
@@cyoungbe1 Female.
I read this comment and thought, "Hm, I mean, was it that bad?" Watches her their the elbows again. "Ohh my god that's f*cking atrocious."
"Parodies of women" that explains feminism perfectly, so perfectly.
In her whole career, Elizabeth Banks has never had to play a character with death or impact on the story. So she can't produce one.
"This movie isn't for men."
"Bye!" goes 50% of the audience.
"Bye!" goes another 48% who've got better things to do than whinge and whine about the other 50%.
Director and remaining 2%. OoO
Director and the others: they're anti-feminist
Dammit it’s on 69
Yip...honestly when ur in a bubble..logic is usually the first thing to escape.
They did the same with Birds of Prey. Feminists told men it wasn't for them and not to go and see it then when the film flopped they blamed men for it even though they told them it wasn't for them.
Nothing like realizing that more women watched Rambo than this movie!
Alternative movie title: "Patrick Stewart Picks Up A Check"
Wouldn't be the first time he played as the heavy for a cheque. Remember 1996's Masterminds? Also a load of crap.
@Box Jabber Must be a pretty hefty bill... after all he played a piece of sh!t in the Emoji movie too....
Ready my horse.
They once asked Uwe Boll,how the fuck he got Sir Ben Kingsley to play in his shitty "Blood Rayne" movie.
Boll aswered:
"Well, I guess even an acclaimed actor like Kingsley has bills to pay,ja?"
@crazyrabbits let's not forget him playing a literal piece of shit on Emoji movie. Hitting a rock bottom, breaking through and going even further beyond.
There's a big difference between well developed female character and a feminists propaganda
Correct. See, Alita: Battle Angel to see a developed female character
Correct. A strong female is a woman with character whereas feminism is a leftist ideology.
The best FEMALE character ever written (IMO) is Elizabeth Bennett from Pride & Prejudice. She is strong (keeping secrets SECRET instead of blabbering the out to everyone else), independent (not following the "general behaviour" of other women in her family, especially her mother) and has courage ... which gets showcased in one of the best "female duels" ever [watch the version from 95, NOT the one with Keira Knightley who cant act]: ruclips.net/video/LcaEN8eVBfk/видео.html it lasts for 6+ minutes and is taken 100% directly from the book.
@@Muck006 The 95 tv version was the one starring Colin Firth? That was a great version. Six well made hours. As female characters go I also like Jane Eyre. She also was strong, intelligent and independent. Those novels illustrate that strength is not about violence against men.
Dominic Decoco Oh this was a feminist movie I didn’t know it was just that I thought it was a really bad movie but this one however is bad
Universal Theory of Kristen Stewart:
If she's in a low-budget indie flick, see it.
If she's in a big-budget blockbuster, skip it.
You can say that to every other actors. Indie flicks offers them better scripts to work with than blockbusters. Blockbusters tend to focus on dollar signs than actually crafting a good movie. Even female empowerment stuff does it better in indie movies than in blockbusters (well Mad Max Fury Road was amazing blockbuster too that has feminist as the main theme of the movie). I always prefer indie films over blockbusters. I think she can be good in a big budget blockbuster, she just wasn't given a good material to work with. It's now mostly on the material than the actor
Nailed it!
“To be honest, it’s also kinda hot.” Truer words have never been spoken.
Action Girl is a pretty decent trope when done correctly. Therein lies the challenge.

@@atomarkanov8201 Fo sho
I'm honestly not sexually attracted to most action girls, and certainly not modern ones!
I personally plan on going into writing, but my biggest fear is that my opinion on actually good "strong female characters" has been poisoned beyond healing by the current culture, and that my writing will suffer as a result.
@@christopherbravo1813Aww, I wouldn't worry about that. Your writing clearly isn't great already, judging by that run on sentence. It is very cute that you think you're depriving the world of something though.

i like drinker, but shitting on that one chick for being tall isn't really a criticism.
I actually watched this movie. It felt like a girl had won a "direct your own movie" contest.
