This movie tries to be clever


and it's liked by:

- feminists who view it as their obligation to like it

- leftists who like it because alt righters don't like it

- men who don't want to be cancelled (Academy Awards board members)

- kids because it's a childish movie

It's just another movie where a [insert cartoon/superhero/toy] comes to the "real world".
Another movie that makes high-school level "prog left" social commentary.
Another movie where Margot Robbie gets to look pretty.

The Will Ferrell parts were funny. That's about it.

It's a good movie.

What?

I mean, it's a good movie as a sort of test.

My own test to separate wheat from the riff-raff.. sorry, meant, CHAFF... is 'The Terminator (1984)' and the so-called sequel to it. ANYONE that even remotely thinks the sequel is even near as good, let alone better, is IMMEDIATELY red-flagged and kicked out of my life and any consideration of anyone that has any kind of ability to think for themselves or understand anything whatsoever. I would not trust them to be able to take my trash out and throw it into the garbage bin. I would not respect them enough to give them the time of day (not that you can really give TIME to someone.. you can't possess something so ethereal and yet illusory).

This movie is a test on two separate fronts:

01) Women 'test' their boyfriends and men with it - if a man either hasn't seen it or hates it or doesn't like it, the woman leaves that man or doesn't 'date' that man, or whatever.

02) Men can test women so easily with this, and if a woman likes this movie, thinks it's good, or wants him to watch it or has seen and doesn't hate it, the woman is a MASSIVE red flag and should be avoided at ALL COST, which means, men can dodge horrible bullets easily.

So it's a good movie for THIS purpose.
