Review bombed on IMDB
You can't say the top reviews are from people who have actually seen it. Right wing trolls with an anti-feminist agenda.

Gosh, now you guys know how it felt when those of us trying to read LEGITIMATE reviews about the film Ender's Game only found angry rants about how the movie "deserves to fail" because the author of the book is a "nasty homophobic bigot" even though the movie had nothing whatsoever to do with that topic and didn't even mention gay people.
Doesn't feel too good to be on the receiving end, does it?
There's a difference between progression and regression. One is bad and should be called out.
shareAh, I see.
So basically, it is OK if left-wingers who haven't even seen a movie want to mercilessly trash it and go off on a completely different topic instead of judging the movie on its own merits, simply because they dislike the political views of the person who wrote it.
But is NOT OK if right-wingers do the same thing.
Noted.
The problem is, not everyone agrees what those terms mean, or more particularly, how they apply. A lot of what the left considers progressive, others consider to be very regressive. I personally don't think swapping one suppressed group for another is progressive at all.
shareThe main difference, of course, is that Ender's Game is a critically acclaimed novel that had NEVER been adapted before and had great potential as a film, whereas Charlie's Angels is YET ANOTHER REMAKE of a cheesy 70s TV show that wasn't even very good to begin with, and which NOBODY wanted to see remade AGAIN.
And of course, the writers of the FILM version of Ender's Game WEREN'T EVEN AWARE of the author's views on gay marriage and had NO intention of using the movie to 'sell' his views. The writers of the film version of Charlie's Angels, on the other hand, pretty much beat their fourth wave feminism views over the audience's head with a sledgehammer.
So given that backstory, I'd say the left-wing trolls actions in attacking a movie because they disliked the author's political beliefs were far more damning and unjustifiable.
