Talk:Bombshell (2019 film)

It seems as though there is a lot of information that is repeated in this page. There should be better organization between sections as well as clarity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wetpuppydog1 (talk • contribs) 17:19, 20 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Can someone please explain how the intro describes this film as having received "mixed reviews" when it has scores of 67% from Rotten Tomatoes and 65% from Metacritic? Metacritic clearly says the reviews were "generally favorable", so why does the intro conflict with and ignore these sources? Perhaps the early reviews were more negative but if this cannot be explained it needs to be corrected already. -- 109.77.223.109 (talk) 12:48, 14 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

It seems to be the fault of a single unexplained edit by one person which I have now reverted. The sources (specifically Metacritic) says "favorable reviews" so the WP:BURDEN is on anyone who disagrees to explain why it should be anything else other than positive. -- 109.77.223.109 (talk) 23:05, 14 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

At the top the article states: "Bombshell received generally favorable reviews [...] some criticizing its screenplay and inaccuracies". These criticisms are never mentioned again in the article and there are no references. Does somebody know more about them? 2A02:8388:8B81:EA80:153C:7A05:6B69:4A1E (talk) 13:53, 15 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

• In the movie, Theron playing Megyn Kelly says, "Back in Minnesota, before I graduated summa cum laude from Stanford..."[1] is false. I ask myself, couldn't the director & screenwriters have not looked up basic facts on Wikipedia! --2601:C4:C300:1BD0:708E:2510:279C:4124 (talk) 22:37, 2 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Sorry! I seem to have mixed up the characters. Gretchen Carlson is the Standford graduate.--2601:C4:C300:1BD0:708E:2510:279C:4124 (talk) 01:58, 3 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Specifically mentions avoid using words like ‘misogynist’ unless you have specific attribution for it (no attribution was given).

The following phrase:

“ —as well as misogynistic policies like requiring female anchors to wear short dresses—” does not seem to add salient detail to the plot summary of this movie in a way that furthers the reader’s critical understanding of the plot. Requiring short dresses is not itself a main theme of the movie. Given that this seems mostly to serve as a display of the bias of the article author, I’m removing the phrase.71.244.170.247 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 18:39, 12 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

This is only the second film that I have ever walked out of, the first being Zelig. A terrible film. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.118.31.187 (talk) 11:09, 5 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

The introduction section is very long and has repeating information that can be used elsewhere in the article. I am editing this page for a class project so please be kind about edits being made. I would like to delete and move the last two paragraphs in the introduction to better fit a wikipedia page format. Wetpuppydog1 (talk) 19:14, 8 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

The cast list is too long and interrupts the organization of the article. The minor cast members should be deleted and a link to the IMDB cast page should replace the minor character bullet points. Wetpuppydog1 (talk) 19:16, 8 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
