So a film's not capable of being shit if it has women in it?
I've seen people ragging on the movie for being all-female, and tbh they're less irritating than the people defending it to the death for the same reason despite it looking like a pretty bland, by-the-numbers buddy movie.

I watched the trailer and said "eh", then had no desire to communicate about it until now. I really don't know why there's any discussion, other then the people angry about the female casting.
I really don't like this trailer. Seriously, are all modern trailers just made by one guy? So many trailers now are going for this kind of epic feeling? It's really obvious in the sound design. The Jungle Book trailer was probably the worst I've seen in the last few months.
Anyway someone made a fan cut of the trailer which looks much more fun.
It still comes across as quirky and gives some hints at the tone, without trying to feel so huge and stuff. Would people agree if I said it was more humble?
Anyway here's RedLetterMedia's reaction to the trailer. I liked this a lot, given that Youtube is flooded with people's opinions at the moment.

I can imagine there were many good male actors in the auditions, and they chose the only 4 female actors for "diversity" reasons, regardless of skill

I'm sure they would have only ever made a casting call for women. That's not something you decide off the cuff.
