Wow, the reviews on IMDB are really scathing and the movie has a 3.9 with 10k ratings. And the median score on IMDB is a 1! Females on average scored it twice as high as males. In fact, females 18-29yo scored this movie higher than they did the original Ghostbusters!

Actually reading the reviews though, it's really hard to pick out who actually saw and is honestly reviewing the movie, vs. who is just using their review as a proxy in the gender war or whatever.

Why didn't they have women star in a good movie?

Why didn't they have women star in a new, unique movie instead of a reboot?

Why do people care about gender so much? Its weird.

Why can't we finish building Skynet so that it can wipe out all genders?

Did you know that female arachnids are superior to males? Males are tiny little fuckboys who die after a year while females are loving huge and horrifying and live for several years. They gently caress males and then eat them. Then they lay eggs and ignore their young because they don't give a gently caress. So independent, so powerful.

Female spiders are so scary and powerful compared to their male counterparts that in order to breed the male must first be allowed to approach and then temporarily paralyze the female so that he can fire his load and escape before she decides to kill him.

This doesn't always work and the male is often killed.

Male and female penguins mate for life and equally share the burden protecting their eggs and their young. They will take turns eating while their mates remain behind for weeks. If either parent dies or does not return, the other will be left with no choice but to abandon their young or starve to death. Such equality.

Indeed. The male risks certain death if he is not skilled enough in the way of hitting and quitting. The female only requires his sperm, not his life, and will be satisfied with either outcome.
A male that can breed multiple times is truly impressive.

Sure thing.

In some species of anglerfish the males are far smaller than the females and do not develop gonads until they find a female to attach themselves to. The female can be host to multiple males, which cannot mature or survive without her.
This parasite-like relationship is also the anglerfish's means of reproduction.

In other words, the male's entire existence, and even his sexuality, revolves around the female.

I liked Spy at least anytime Jude Law or Jason Statham was on screen. Heat was OK and Tammy was complete poo poo minus Susan Sarandon. She gets a pass on being on my celebrity GILF list just under Helen Mirren.
