A film of two halves

The good bit is the first half:
So this film is amazing at the beginning - a brilliant "get the team together and do amazing things, nice guys finish first, rise over prejudice and have fantastic adventures" romp.

It looks excellent, the characters are really well realised, the dynamics between them are believable and for a change the writers show, don't tell, us who the characters are and what they are doing.

Then they kill off every single substantial female part one by one until we are left with a pretty naff mystic who disappears... and like it's 1973 the members of the team with a uterus die so the men have a reason to keep adventuring...

I just can't even...I loved it and then *sigh*

If you want to watch this, watch it until they get to the Mystic Forest then bug out of there and make up a better ending in your head.
