Rating:👌🏼 ok
The sexy female crime fighters are called upon to save the world, yet again, from a new technology that in the wrong hands could be weaponized.
I really wanted to like this movie but in the end I just couldn’t. Kristen Stewart is amazing! Her character is quirky and funny and had some great lines! Everyone else; who are you? What are you all about? Should I care about you? Because I don’t... The action scenes felt underwhelming. The “I am woman hear me roar!” theme is a message that I can always get behind. But rather than showing women kicking ass, the movie just seemed to repeatedly shout the message at us rather than showing us.
If you’re bored, or have some movie gift cards, this movie is entertaining and you might like it. But in comparison to the beloved franchise this newest installment falls flat.
