Yeah, I think you're right, half of the review might be built around him resenting that joke. I kinda sensed it with the "shot of oestrogen" phrase.

I don't know, I read the Guardian review and seems to me that he wanted the movie to be a bit more radical. There is some weird resentment for the "not essential to pleasure" joke but I thought the "men are essential for action movies, it seems" was written with criticism and irony.
