Not the movie particularly. Being the owner of a 12yo boy I'm used to your standard super-hero, gritted teeth, lantern jaw, save the world at the last minute stuff with token woman trying to bring down fighter jets with a pistol Hmm (go Scarlett, but maybe choose a different weapon love?). No, it was the half-hour of adverts beforehand. I've never seen so much macho sexist chest baring back to back - presumably to appeal to the same audience as the movie. One was for a violent, beat the crap out of everyone computer game where the only woman present seemed to be some limp victim being whisked off in a helicopter; another had men doing daring stuff jumping off buildings or being the best at something - no idea what that was selling. There were others but by that stage I couldn't see because my feminist judgy pants were eyebrow high and I couldn't stop tutting.
