Movies That Review-Bombed Themselves With Preachy Social Messages

This new version of the popular 1984 series features an all-female team battling supernatural forces in New York City. However, the marketing, which focused on the cast’s gender, sparked controversy before the film even came out. Many critics felt the script prioritized making a social statement over the fun, playful interactions that made the original series so beloved. As a result, the film received mostly negative reviews, and it quickly became a key example in discussions about how gender is portrayed in Hollywood remakes.
