I haven't seen this movie, but I plan to see it with a girl. It surely attracts me as something different. However, there are a lot of posts being shared, mostly critics saying that this movie is very misogynistic, and something that will piss off a lot of ladies. So I ask the collective wisdom of IMDb, is it true ? Because I have some problem trusting critics, I would rather go with common viewers.

Because he plans to see it with a girl? I know that's a foreign concept to you, what with no woman being willing to be snuck into something on a date, but I don't think the guy who cannot tell morning from night without taking a bus trip to work should be calling someone ELSE an idiot...
What's going on? What's all this shouting? We'll have no trouble here...
hes an idiot because he asks idiotic questions.
shareI don't think it's an idiotic question at all. What makes you think it is? Keep in mind - your own idiocy hinges on your answer to this question.
shareHe's right, it's a pretty idiotic question.
shareYou make a strong, well supported case. Care to expand?
What's going on? What's all this shouting? We'll have no trouble here...
Explain how it's idiotic.
shareIt was a reasonable question, he doesn't want to piss of his lady if this film happens to be misogynistic. How the hell is that a stupid question? It's not and you're a dumb ass. To answer the question, No it's not misogynistic however if your lady doesn't like violence I would steer her away.
shareI don't think it's a stupid question either.

Maybe if she's that 3rd wave feminist who believes that everything is toxic masculinity and institutionalized sexism...
It's just a fun male macho movie, nothing more to it
They will complain until they get a Hardcore Henrietta. lol
shareI know you're trying to make a complaint, but actually that would be rad as hell? Get a woman who can kick ass like Ronda Rousey or Gina Carano in the role and you'd be pretty much golden. I dunno, though, I grew up on Aliens and Terminator and Cynthia Rothrock movies so the idea of an action movie with a woman in the lead is something I'm fairly used to.
shareWell I hope not. I don't know her that well, but she looks like a cool person, but its always a risk. Happened to me in 'Jurassic World', which my then date found really sexist. (I still don't see it). The other option is to play safe, and go see Jungle Book.
shareJurassic World kinda sorta had a sexist vibe in the beginning, but it definitely turned itself around when Bryce Dallas Howard went all Ripley on their asses in the second half!
What's going on? What's all this shouting? We'll have no trouble here...
Jurassic World sexist? Only if you're an SJW
sharesexist vibe how? Just curious. I really am blind to these things apparently.
shareBy vibe, I mean it's very minor. I'm not complaining at all - just saying that I recognize what people are complaining about, even if I don't personally agree with it. In fact, 'sexist' is probably FAR too strong of a word.
What people are responding to is the female character needing to be rescued repeatedly during the first act.
My main point, really though, was that her character is actually quite the opposite, because she becomes a real ass-kicker when the heat is turned up.

Ok cool. thanks for answering.
So the whole damsel in distress thing. Got it.

In the current climate of feminista propaganda YES.
shareWell, both lead characters are rather comic-like and the dude just happens to be the "cool" one while the woman is portrayed as "weak" and even somewhat unlikable at first... but I never linked that to the gender, it might just as well have been reversed. I thought the couple worked quite well together the way it was.
But I can see how people might argue that it's no coincidence that the guy is the tough hero and not the girl (although I never felt that way).
In such a case i would suggest you to RUN AWAY FROM HER AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. Never get in bed with crazy.

Resistance is impolite, Friendship is mandatory.
Holy *beep* your relationship must suck.
shareHa! Exactly!
sharenope, to answer the OP's subject-line question.
Half the theater was couples, guy-girl couples to be specific. The two people that left were both men, not sure if they were a couple
It is not in any perceivable way. Do you have a source on that critic? Can't even guess what they meant by that.
shareYeah, well the latest source is this ...

I have also seen some blog posts shared on facebook about it as well.
If anyone's interested, starts at 7:30 and her beef is that all girls in it are whores (despite that the first character you see is a female doctor)
I guess you'll always find it if it's all you're looking for so it doesn't matter if it's actually there or not. I can easily refute all of her points but I know you're just wondering for you date.
Pretty silly complaint, as EVERYONE in the movie is essentially an awful person.
Every man in the film is a murderer or a lunatic.

This made me laugh ^^^^
Because my wife says the same thing about all the girls in the real world.
No, not really, but it does contain some nudity and a LOT of extremely graphic and bloody violence. I don't know your girl, but I would guess that she would not like it. Just sayin'.
Schrodinger's cat walks into a bar, and / or doesn't.
Thanks man. I don't know her that well, but she seems cool. Also I have already suffered once with another girl, who found 'Jurassic World' to be quite sexist. So you never know ...
shareYou're welcome, Atkhan. I would rethink taking her to this flick. Just sayin'.....

I'm sure if you thought about it hard enough you could make it out to be sexist...
All joking aside, someone would have to be pretty touchy to be offended any amount during the movie. The edgiest thing is probably the main villain being portrayed as a bad guy because he likes rape (I'm sure that is an offense to certain people), and an action sequence takes place in a brothel w/naked women running around.
I mean, there isn't much to really ponder, as the plot moves so fast, and everything is from the protagonist's POV, there isn't much time for the movie to be sexist.
It all depends on your date I guess.
Good luck mate.

Lol, I mean using that as the way to distinguish him as evil could be perceived as offensive by some people
