Same old boring Hollywood trope....Evil dorky men vs. perfect women. Women are not that weak that they have to be treated with kid gloves in every modern movie. I am DYING to find likable 'imperfect/human' female leads. I want to fall in love with more 'human' female characters like I used to in the old days à la Meryl Streep or Julia Roberts in literally every character they played. Having said that, Naomi Ackie acted her heart out in this film, and I do hope she gets better movies to do in the future. Also I do not agree with the consensus that she is not attractive enough to play leading roles. She looks drop-dead gorgeous with longer hair, and the make-up department should all have their abilities re-examined for the ugly haircut they gave her.

Make female leads likeable please. I beg you. It's not that hard, just add some quirks and flaws thus making them human and relatable. There really must be a subtler way to get the female empowerment agenda across. The whole story, writing quality, suspense, execution everything is sacrificed in the name of these agendas nowadays. And it's such a disservice to these talented actresses. They get the lead role of a lifetime in a huge franchise and they get completely overshadowed by the agenda. I went to the movie to watch aliens scare the hell out of me. What I got was 2 hours of Lupita's character trying to 'break out of her shell to trust and love again'... Same old autistic nonsense. Give me my money back.

The level of cringe in this will make you want to rethink living
