A worthy addition to the franchise (which, let's be honest, has never been high-brow entertainment in the first place). I grew up watching the TV series and thoroughly enjoyed the first remake with Drew, Cameron and Lucy (the second was way worse than this latest version). The little nods to the previous instalments were pretty fun (though whoever did those terrible photoshops of Patrick Stewart should have their eyes seen to).
The action sequences were decent, the chemistry between the Angels was good (except for that crying scene, what was up with that?), the music was great. Sure, the script wasn't amazing, but just like Hobbs & Shaw, when I watch this kind of action movie, I'm not expecting Shakespeare. I'm expecting action and chemistry, and there's plenty of that, with a fair amount of humour sprinkled in.
As for all that so-called man-hating, where is it, exactly? The guys played their parts well and there was no hating that I could see. No man was emasculated, so what's all the moaning about?
There are some cute little scenes (the lab with Jane, the discussion about Birdman and Batman, the ferry) that are grin-worthy. Naturally everything is OTT, though a bit more camp wouldn't have hurt. Kristen Stewart clearly had a heck of a lot of fun with her role, and the camaraderie with Naomi Scott, Ella Balinksa and Elizabeth Banks definitely worked.
All in all, a solid addition to the list of movies I'll happily rewatch.
