I guess they are taking a que from Star Wars and blaming ever negative review on sexism.

In a way. I think it's a bit more complicated than that.

In the case of Star Wars, it was basically "this is Star Wars, nerds. You should like it because it's doing Star Wars things, no matter who the main character is". Whereas for Ocean's 8 it's more like "this movie wasn't made for white men, so why are white men the majority of the ones reviewing it?" Not to mention that Star Wars actually had the critics' back and it was the fanbase that rebelled, whereas in this case, they don't have the critics either.

This is more in line with the Brie Larson Wrinkle In Time topic we had earlier this week. The idea that certain movies would be reviewed better if the review base was more diverse.

Then again, I haven't seen either, so I have no opinion on either Wrinkle in Time or Ocean's 8.
