Oh boy, terrible.

No, it only goes the other way. I'm all for female empowerment and strong female characters and storylines, but "That Iconic Male Character But A Woman" is already a worn-out genre and not the way to do it.What will they do next, bring back Sister Act with a man in Whoopi Goldbergs role, or have a man as a bridesmaid.

I see there's a theatre production in Melbourne currently of The Picture of Dorian Gray (But A Woman), and there was Hamlet (But A Woman) a while back. Those characters are men, written by men, about what it is to be a man. To me it weakens the feminist argument, it's an admission they can't create compelling female characters. Hamlet But A Woman is not *smile* Hamlet. Same with those action movies where a 60kg woman beats up dozens of men twice her size. Pure fantasy. And it's just saying "what if women were just like men, but with boobs". Yawn. Please. And how the *smile* is that advancing the cause of women? Show me a strong woman the way a woman is strong. Show me how she outsmarts her enemies. And if it is physically, make it believable (granted, that applies to many male action movies too).
Unexpected rant over.
Yes, Bond is a misogynistic dinosaur and we love him for that.
Making a female Bond is kind of like letting Russia join NATO
How often did you see a young John Travolta in his face?Saw Elvis today, enjoyed it very much. A bit slow to start with but when it gets to the ‘68 special and onwards really picks up. Austin Butler too really shines from the ‘68 special onwards. Yeah, there’s things you can complain about this movie (all movies that try and cover decades will always do the “this happened then that happened” and skim over parts) and it’s not til late in the movie til songs are sung in entirety (a lot of songs are only played in part) but overall quite satisfying.
Bummer ending of course…who knew hey?!

That GB version and the Ocean 8 were pretty bad movies.Hopefully the most recent 'Ghostbusters with women' debacle put an end to that.
Wait until you see the next instalment in the Mad Max franchise. Mad Maxine - Furry Road.That GB version and the Ocean 8 were pretty bad movies.
