First off I will say that it was good entertainment, and satisfying action scenes. With greatness like Angela Bassett and Michelle Yeoh however, I think it could have been much better.
My main problem with the movie is that they structured the movie badly, so that the supposed emotional payoff isn't there. The makers of this movie are trying to impose feelings on you as a viewer, without the building blocks to create it.
The introduction of the characters and their relationships are way to short to give us anything substantial. It's just enough so we know what's going on, but not a smidge more. All we really get to know about these characters are that they are badasses. And without character development you will never get more than a mediocre movie with great action set-pieces.
This movie is lightweight like "John Wick ", but I need a bit more substance to really appreciate a movie. They should have been ambitious enough to try for something like "La femme Nikita" or "Leon-the professional."
