There’s only so much time and money for movies, so when I go, I see the ones that are interesting to me. I am not stuck in any particular genre. Make something worth my time and money and that looks interesting, and I’ll think about seeing it.

Any failure of woman is clearly the fault of men. Clearly.

How about it’s because I heard it was a crappy movie with stars I don’t like?

And I am sick of seeing women fight with roundhouse leg kicks.

So, that means she’s bossing the others around. Bet that goes over real well. because you know how swell women like working with, but especially FOR, other women.

Objectively I ask everyone here for an honest answer.

When has any male director criticized the lack of women going to a movie that has four male charscters as the lead actors? And effectively blamed the lack of success of said movie on the fact women weren’t buying tickets?

I cannot recall one time, ever.

Remember men stayed home to watch Colin Kaepernick NFL tryout. How can three chicks compete against a legend?

Typical socialist - blame the voters for the failures of their politicians...

Typical religious con artist - blame the follower for the failure of ‘prosperity’ or ‘healing’ to not come about...

they are all libtard liars, just different flavors.

Fact is, this movie should have either been straight to Red Box, Lifetime, or the bargain bin at your grocery store.

Jackie Chan’s Hong Kong films of the late 80s and 1990s (up to 1997) had female co-stars in action roles landing kicks and taking hits (sometimes even suffering accidents on the set doing stunts similar to those Jackie was doing and getting injured doing):

This isn’t that crap New Line Cinema trimmed down, rescored, and redubbed.

Action films mean action on the screen

The original editions of Jet Li’s movie’s kicked ass too.

But the stakes were raised to high. American films haven’t had dangerous stunts in a very long time. And even with ropes and things they’d rather just do quick edits and stunt doubles and now drop frame and cgi.

The Aliens series proves that men absolutely will buy tickets to see a woman in an action role if the woman is a good actress and the movie has a plot that tells a story.

Virtue signaling airhead SJW 'actresses' chattering like teenage girls between green screen & CGI action shots with no plot is the problem, not the customers refusing to pay for inferior garbage.
