"In regards to female superhero films, Banks added: 'They'll go and see a comic book movie with Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel because that's a male genre."

Talk about trying to make a silk purse outtta a sow's ear(no pun intended)

"Charlie Angels" is a "T&A"premise from the TV show to both movies. Slapping a Feminist, anti male theme to a titillating male fantasy isn't going to put many male butts in the theater. Might as well try to make Benny Hills show into Leo Tolstoy's "War and Peace" Not going to happen. This is how deluded Hollywood is today due to "Woke" and "Cancel" culture.

Yet this is what Banks wore to the British debut to her feminist movie.

Dave's Site

She really wants to be taken for a "serious director.(Rolls eyes)

“Will generally produces flops when he is the star.”

He does? Honestly, I can’t think of a dud he’s ever made. I may be wrong, but my impression was he is still one of the most bankable actors in the business.

The TV show was a product of the 70's. The Angels were beautiful, fun and sexy besides being TV detectives.

That show couldn't be made today, an era dominated by humorless, bitter feminists.

The few who saw it, loved it.

Charlies’ Angels is just as good as Ghostbusters 3 with Leslie Jones.

Me too. I know his recent movie "Gemini Man" didn't do so well, but I went to see it and I liked it. I thought it was great. I think it's problem was that it got steamrolled by "the Joker" movie which was a blockbuster. Had it came out without having to compete against "Joker", it would have probably done quite well.

Also Maleficent was oddly popular for some reason. Not my cup of tea though.

Goodness gracious, woman. Cut to the quick and blame it on Climate Change. Or President Trump.

Exactly. Not one of these new dyke CA’s can compare to the beauty of Cheryl Ladd, Farah F and Jacklyn Smith.

Instead of giving us guys fantasies, these new 3 are giving us nightmares..

That’s why they “loved” it. They paid for it and they have to..

Those whose lack of taste in movies led them to buy a ticket confirmed their lack of taste in movies by liking it. Got it.

I like most of his movies. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in a movie theater, but I watch most on tv when I find them. He was great in “Ali.”

I didn't see that one, but I've seen him in numerous other movies. I especially liked his performance in "I Robot." He was great in "Bright" also. He was great as the Genie in "Aladdin." Thought he deserved an Oscar for "Concussion."

I don't see all his movies, but everything I've seen with him in it, I have liked.

On Rotten Tomatoes, Gemeni Man got 26% rating from critics, but 83% from the audience. I always go with audience ratings. Screw the critics.

According to Forbes, in an article written in August, Smith is the 10th most bankable actor in Hollywood.

I just did what she told me to. She said in an interview she made this for women, so I stayed home. Now because I did what she told me too, she’s mad at me and it’s my fault?

I’ll survive.

I think Stewarts role is lesbian.

Hell, I didn’t like it in the seventies when the girls were actually feminine and pretty.

I really liked Concussion. I’ll have to check out Bright. Thanks for the tip.
