Kristen Stewart says her #CharliesAngels remake "was a good idea at the time," but "I hated making that movie. Honestly, the three…you can’t touch [that]. Cameron, Lucy and Drew…I love that movie! If that says anything." https://t.co/IySYgTclZK

I think there's this weird tone with women led movies these days where it's like "IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS FILM, YOU'RE A MISOGYNIST, EVEN IF YOU'RE A WOMAN" and it turns people off. I don't want to have to watch a movie like 2016 Ghostbusters and pretend it was great just because they were women and I'm a woman. I feel like the 2000s Charlies Angels films were more marketed as FUN. I was a teen back then so maybe I'm misremembering but I didn't feel like I was making a big feminist statement by renting it at Blockbuster.

They had more of the spirit of the 70s Angels where you had these attractive ladies doing detective shit with a fun bit of humor thrown in. It was light, fun, and didn't take itself seriously; it was just a great time. I can't stand KS so it was a hard pass on the remake for me, plus it just seemed like the marketing really hit you over the head with the whole "This is a WOMAN'S Movie" that was kinda off-putting.

very much this! it bleeds into criticism of anything female related… like objectively speaking i want to remark that it is bad & not enjoyable bc the script was a pandering advert lol- IMMEDIATELY NO

[skyler_white_yo]

I think part of that stems from incel types review bombing female led movies. So legit criticism often gets lumped in with those losers.

Yeah, the incels/redpillers are so proactive with their criticism, the films/games/shows have to defend themselves from gross misogynists before it even gets released.

I used to be obsessed with the 2000s movie, I haven’t watched in years but it felt very focused on their friendship with each other more than anything. But it was also a bit male-gazey.

Except I loved the 2016 Ghostbusters movie 😭

[fromyourashes]

everytime ghostbusters is brought up, i wonder - am i the only one who genuinely adored this movie? AM I WRONG? do i love women? do i hate women? am i being bamboozled by me?

but whatever, i loved it

[kobewife1]

I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed the 2016 version so much. I was shocked by the negative reviews and backlash.

[m14mouse]

Me too. There are a dozen of us who loved it on ONTD. DOZENS!

[lone_concertina]

Yeah they had me until that example. It's...genuinely the best of any of the Ghostbusters made before or after???

[slinkydinks]

I wouldn't say I loved it, but it got a lot of unearned hate. It was fun and silly.
