It's pretty much Girl Boss the movie. Every female character is the best and baddest. The choreography is just dumb. You have battalion level strength with air cover, and armor and you lose to people charging with axes and laser muskets?? Yes the villagers have guns that look like muskets and fire one pew pew at a time.
The zombies in Dawn of the Dead were a bigger threat than a space faring war machine that has been at war for centuries?
Just for the people who still don't know how dumb:
Basically just nu-Star Wars with a different coat of paint.
So glad I dodged that bullet by not even watching the first. Seemed like it had a small amount of potential, but was also an obvious trap, so I dipped.
Modern entertainment must be carefully scrutinized even before watching, to avoid this nonsense.
Yup. Only gave it a watch because of Charlie Hunnam. He's a real lad, and usually picks better films (He was quite good in The Gentleman, and that was a ballsy and well-done film). Boy was I disappointed...
Yup, I liked some of the people involved, primarily Hunnam, so was at least considering it. Glad I didn't bother.
Also, somewhat controversial opinion since it was a bit "diverse," but I quite enjoyed King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. Speaking of Guy Ritchie and Charlie Hunnam. It was a bit diverse, but didn't beat you over the head with it, and I don't recall much of The Message being present. It's a fun action movie.
I also enjoyed that film, but looking back I am of the opinion that—since it is a version of an English cultural myth—it is unacceptably diverse and should be regarded as bad, even if it is fun.
