I am not a big fan Of Pride and Prejudice, although I have enjoyed the newer version, I am not a big fan of zombies. I am a fan of a decent action film. This is not one. What it mostly is an attempt to foist off yet another one of those wretched Mary Sue characters, that got cloned from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I loved Buffy, but the clones she spawned are meager, shallow, ugly things. I understand why they persist, The appeal is twofold. The adolescent boys like watching the big busted amazons fight in their cleavage baring outfits. The adolescent girls, and some like minded adult women, have the wish fulfillment of a female character that fights like she can beat up special forces soldiers, show off her playboy body to full advantage without being called slutty (because a woman that beats people up is a feminist, right?), and who has the boys panting after her even though she is unkind, uncooperative, and most often scowling. There is really never any reason given as to how she can best people who are bigger, stronger, have the weight and reach advantage, superior experience, and seem more intelligent. I guess if you need a reason its, like girl power? Right? This film has a whole family of the things
.and zombies. Oh, and the necessary males for these girls to sneer at, and who will then come running after them. All I can say is Girls; In the real world women are almost universally not as physically strong as males of the same age, and no one wants to be around a snide, selfish, snarky arsehole. Its sad that we feel that is the definition of a strong woman.
