Is there a reason why people are review bombing it? Is it just that it has a woman lead or is there more to it than that?

I copied the quote that started it below. Basically some people are interpreting her comments as saying this movie isn’t for them and they shouldn’t see it or review it.

“I don’t need a 40-year-old white dude to tell me what didn’t work about A Wrinkle in Time. It wasn’t made for him! I want to know what it meant to women of color, biracial women, to teen women of color.

Am I saying I hate white dudes? No, I am not. What I am saying is if you make a movie that is a love letter to women of color, there is an insanely low chance a woman of color will have a chance to see your movie, and review your movie.”

Was this quote from Brie Larson?

yeah, which is why she wanted more diversity in who was covering her press conferences and press junket stops, etc.

which, as literally a 40-year old white dude I totally get ... but at the same time, sometimes movies are just not great (I actually thought Wrinkle in Time was better than a lot of the really negative reviews, but not an overall great movie)

I think like anything, critics can only show you so much - and if you find a few who seem to have similar takes as you do to other movies, then that is great. Otherwise, just go see what you want

Yep, saw it last night as well and felt it was OK but would not write home about ... pretty much bottom tier for the Marvel movies but still watchable. Which is a shame because Carol Danvers has been such a great character in recent years of the comics. It almost seemed like this movie was rushed to fit into the current MCU (Marvel movies) as a fast response to Wonder Woman. I don't want to get into the all the diversity/politics talk, but as a huge comics fan the movie did make some pretty strange gender swap changes to Captain Marvel's origin. While I don't want to get into the specifics (no spoilers!) in my opinion the origin changes did nothing to enrich the story, and for people familiar with the comics it was pretty odd ... ie like what Iron Man 3 did to the Mandarin odd
