No. And is completely okay for you to decide, based on a trailer and some MB comments that you have no interest in a particular movie. You have lots of choices of what to see and should watch what you think you will enjoy. Again, this is not a safe rehash remake redo or extension of a known property; it is something definitely … different. It is not Barbie. It _won’t_ appeal to everyone and as much as I loved it I am personally surprised that so many of the award givers and critics did. I can understand those who have seen it having strong feelings of dislike as much as I feel strongly about it positively. Some of us love licorice; some hate licorice; few are neutral. This movie is much like that. What is a bit much is for someone who has not seen it to have a strong opinion about it, based mostly on the fact that men are writing and directing the strong yes strong roles for women. And an opinion on a MB that “confirms” their suspicion about it. Have you gone ahead and review bombed it on Rotten Tomatoes? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poor-things-movie-open-spoilers-after-first-post/996425)._
