Don't Worry Darling (2022)
OK - but misandric ending ruins it
I really enjoyed the intrigue at the beginning and the slow build up. There's a real tension in the film as the number of unsettling events build.
I was also rooting for Pugh's character as the film evolves. And for her relationship with Styles.
However, the ending just becomes the cliched, oafish "all men bad" trope. It's quite horrible to watch as misandrist director Olivia Wilde glorifies horrid violence against them. And has phrases like "you st upid, stu pid man" in the film as a male character is offed.
Florence Pugh gave a fantastic performance as Alice. She displays a range of emotion throughout
Chris Pine is charismatic and steals every scene he's in. I felt like he deserves more credit for his understated, controlling performance.
Harry Styles was okay throughout too
Overall though - misandric ending really ruined it for me. It could have been a blend of different people being the baddies. But they had to make it about the men.
Strike Back: Retribution: Part 3 (2017)
it just gets worse
Don't bother watching if you're a guy. They've turned this whole show into a female-empowerment, misandrist agenda.
The 2 male characters often get sidelined so you can watch the 2 female characters kick a&s. The main villain is female too.
it feels like a show about stuff guys usually enjoy watching, but with characters to make women happy.
The realism is shot to hell too - infinite bullet guns, can't hit the wide side of a barn villains. hand-to-hand combat when you should just shoot someone.5 ft tall women taking on 6ft burly guys in hand-to-hand (I'm talking punches and stuff - not dodges and better skills).
pass. i'll just enjoy the first 5 seasons
