In fact before box office reports came out they were mostly positive and the audience score is a B+. I think the press just prefers the story of a dramatic flop more so they're running with it. On Twitter most of the response is people being surprised it's good based on what they'd heard. The reason I think it failed though is down to marketing. They didn't market it as a potential franchise of action films and highlight the action. It was marketed as a fluffy chick flick. I also think promoting the well known supporting cast and Jacklyn Smith's return could've helped the fact that the main cast is mostly unknown. I also would've had Drew Barrymore cameo instead of only using her on pictures. People were confused thinking this was a remake instead of a reboot that brought all the projects together and in today's market that would've given them a boost.</blockquote>
