Actually this movie was visually cool but it was really stupid. Anyone who's intelligent would probably see this only once in their lifetime and opt-out from ever seeing a movie like this again in their life.   See 13 other replies

The thread creator isn't complaining about how realistic the movie is. She said that this isn't the type of thing women think about to escape reality, and that this movie is probably made for men instead of women.   See 13 other replies

CE is right. Most women don't escape reality by day dreaming about fighting, because of the way their brains work and the fact that they aren't testosterone driven. The women who do day dream about that stuff are likely dangerous and psychotic. Think Joan of Arc. That doesn't mean there aren't a few women out there that are sane and still day dream about this kind of thing. However, movies aren't made for a few people. A movie like this likely was made for a male audience. And it does look like a bunch of shallow action, regardless of what the protagonist's sex.   See 13 other replies

What better way to escape from reality than by doing something completely unrealistic?   See 13 other replies

Yes, it's unrealistic that in a FANTASY ACTION movie women are fighting and looking sexy. (Never mind the fact that you clearly didn't pay a lick of attention to the plot and WHY they're fighting the things you don't understand why they'd fight.)Of course, you don't utter a peep at the typical objectification of men in movies for women. Newsflash: most men aren't six feet tall or taller, in fact only a very small minority of them are. Most men aren't buff. Most men aren't good at sports. Most men aren't charming and funny. You've grown up in a society that produces TV shows like Chuck, where the "geeky guy" is 6'4, buff and handsome, and his tiny, midget-like friend is actually average height, or Friends where wimpy, geeky Chandler is 6'1. You've grown up reading books, watching TV shows and going to movies where dreamy guys who are tall and handsome and funny and charming are so much of these that it doesn't matter if they don't have money. (And, of course, often they end up making it big anyway.)You've grown up consuming without comment the most ridiculous, unrealistic BS about men -- commonplace -- yet you've got a problem with a fantasy action movie, one that doesn't even pretend it's a telling of a possibly real story, but a FANTASY -- because it has hot girls fighting?REALLY?Jesus...   See 13 other replies

Women aren't an audience with growing buying power. Women have been an audience with growing buying power, and the portion of the audience that accounts for a large proportion and often the majority of purchases made anyway.Newsflash: you're not growing up in the age in which women become empowered. You missed that by a few decades.   See 13 other replies
