I don't understand the hate for Hellcat (2025)

My wife and I just got done watching Hellcat and we went online to see what others were saying about it and we were shocked to see how divisive this movie seems to be online. I understand some of the criticisms I've seen, but one thing I don't understand is how many people have said that it either gets worse as it goes or falls off in the last act.

From the beginning all the way to the end, it had both of us fully invested in what on earth was happening to and going to happen to the protagonist, and the visual storytelling in this was an amazing change of pace from the Netflix-ification of movies where everything is written/directed so you can be on your phone while you watch it in the background. The ending was definitely...unexpected, but it didn't ruin the movie, nor did it feel like it came completely out of nowhere.

TL;DR Had to make a post to just put some positive vibes around this movie into the world, and to spark discussion on why some people actually dislike this movie.

Can't wait to see what Brock Bodell does next!
