[@lancecoleman6684]

Yeah but that’s not funny staying true to character is good and all but good writing is much more preferred than that

[@patronofdragons]

Making her a soccer player is stupid. The reason Kim could do a lot of that stuff was because of her cheerleading skills. As a soccer player, she wouldn't have developed the right muscles to do some of the stuff she does. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it.

[@patronofdragons]

​@Elisa Castro Yeah and that's infuriating. KP broke down a lot stereotypes about cheerleaders and the unhealthy "I'm not like other girls" mentality.

[@Montesama314]

The best thing about Kim being a cheerleader was that the creators could use the "popular/perfect high school girl" stereotype and turn it on its head, apply it, or deconstruct it (example: Kim's popularity was not always a benefit, but a burden to her ego, since she was so worried about doing the cool thing after some laser turned her into a monkey hybrid or something). By using soccer to imply that "Kim's not like other girls, she's tough!", the movie ironically misses the message the original show was trying to tell--that a girl can be as conventionally feminine AND as tough as she wants to be.

[@tsubaki4106]

Plus; the only reason she was such a good soccer player in that one episode is BECAUSE she had done years of cheerleading and thus had the right physique, coordination, and flexibility for the game.

[@maninedoow5895]

Patronofdragons the movie is based off the pilot episode

[@maadtee6281]

That still doesn't explain her skills no cheer leader can do what Kim can do without gymnastics and some martial arts training

[@eatatjoes6751]

They made the mole rat CGI. That's all that can be said. Also, I really hate the fact they got rid of the cheerleading thing because contrary to popular belief cheerleaders do a lot of work and they hurt themselves to do it--nearly harder than football players do. Keeping her a cheerleader would have inspired more girls to try it.

There should be a whole Kim Possible movie franchise!

[@reyfan011]

I had some fun with how odd this movie was but a problem I had was with this movie’s interpretation of Kim. I know she can’t be perfect, but Kim in the show was never this unlucky. She had problems due to her inability to say no, her control freak tendency, can’t stand being anything but number 1 at any task she does, had a hard time admitting when she needed help, and typical teenage issues, boys, peer pressure. She was a smart, popular, overachieving student but she still had problems. These bullying issues and hurdles they threw at Kim in the movie seemed too much, she seemed less like Kim possible and more like a girl who happened to be named Kim. Of course I never was a fan of the story of a new character coming stealing the main character’s image in movies or tv shows. Also just no on the Athena character.

[@misspriss2482]

This.

[@shukrysii828]

You get a like for the Athena part. Think they could've done away with the Athena relevance with her sacrificing herself in Draken's lair explosion and be done with it. Maybe this is just my nitpick but I wish the Kimmunicator was like a smart watch or a system in a smartphone type (how it blends seamlessly into the world instead of standing out like a sore thumb, just imagine the weird stares that would've gotten when in use) instead of the necklace pendant. But I think the world isn't as fleshed out as I would have liked (I mean it was working on a DCOM budget so there's that). How does it rate in the Kim Possible discography: Okay but not substantial but if it gets younger/new audience on board of the Original Series then that's a great thing.

[@AnymousScreams]

The pink shoes and the pink outfit during her soccer try-out was also a bit much for me. That didn't seem very Kim-like. I thought the jealousy and whatnot driving the plot was a bit too out of character, but it could be that I don't remember her character much. Rufus and Athena were my problem. Rufus was in a pocket, not a backpack, and Athena was replacing Monique. Monique had her problems as a character, but it was better than Athena.

[@nigerianprincess101]

Totally agree. Though the theme song says basic average girl, Kim was always far from it. She was well liked, an A student, a part of every club. In this they really made her an average girl who is weirdly athletic.

[@sadlobster1]

This movie made so many continuity errors and made so many poor casting choices, it's disgraceful. 1. Ron didn't meet Rufus in a random terrarium on a mission. He bought him at Smarty Mart, when he was a kid and had him from a tiny critter. 2. Speaking of Ron, hearing the live action actor try to say his famous line of "Boo-yah" made me nauseous. It lacked the spirit Will Friedle put into saying it. 3. The actors they chose were abysmal; especially on Drakken, Shego and Mr.Barkin's parts. The character of Mr.Barkin was a strong, well-built, stoic man who looked like he came out of the military. The actor in the movie, however looked like he came out of a buffet and forgot to shave. Worse still were those weird things on Shego's hands. She got her powers from childhood, not from some techno McGuffin. 4. The character of Athena felt incredibly unnecessary. 5. Though the news articles said otherwise; when I heard Rufus speak in the movie, he sounded NOTHING like Nancy Cartwright

For me, they could've made Athena a Beebe. The Rufus thing, I agree. And Smarty Mart, or the scene at Bueno Nacho would've been the perfect place to stick in Will Friedle. Why were the female ninja incapable of fighting? Or ANY of the henchmen for that matter? Were they that incompetent? Anybody else feel Kim was too overly reliant on Wade? It was like she couldn't go 30 steps without asking his opinion. Won't touch the cheerleading thing but, how could Bonnie have been Kim's rival if she was older than her? Wouldn't that essentially mean Bonnie either skipped a grade or was held back?

Animation is always going to yield snappier, faster paced action. It's going to have clearer, more energized acting. You can't improve upon exaggeration by toning it down. That's like taking a delicious cake, sapping out all the color and flavor, leaving a bland grey tofu blob in its' place. If you like it for the bright colors and bold flavors, you aren't going to enhance that by suppressing those things.

Being a cheerleader isn't feminist enough for the remake, so soccer. Also, the whole "henchWOMEN" and forced "G1RL POWR" theme.

[@notAshildr]

Seriously though, Kim being a cheerleader made all the sense in the world. And it was a great way to reverse a stereotype, because Kim was smart, brilliant, and in stark contrast to Bonnie, who fit the mean girl superficial cheerleader stereotype to a tee. What's more feminist than showing how a girl can do everything she likes? Not "If you want to be respected you have to play a REAL sport"

[@Montesama314]

The best thing about Kim being a cheerleader in the original series was that the creators could use the "popular/perfect high school girl" stereotype and turn it on its head ("holy sh*t, she's not just a girly girl, but she can fight too!"), apply it (her cheer practice makes her flexible and agile, a benefit to her in battle), or deconstruct it (Kim's focus on popularity could be a burden, since she was so worried about doing the cool thing over the right thing while some wrist band would slowly turn her into a cyborg). By using soccer to imply "Kim's not like other girls, she's tough!" the movie ironically misses the message the original show was trying to tell--that you can be as conventionally feminine AND as tough as you want to be.

[@tsubaki4106]

Cheerleaders and soccer players have the same damn physique, which the writers would know if they bothered to do any research!!!

Teenage cheerleader played by an actual minor... Yeah, I'm fine with Disney sidestepping that. Buffy the Vampire Slayer worked because the cast was all in their late 20s playing teens.

[@brittanybutleredits]

I actually see a lot of potential with this live action KP universe if they *do* get a sequel and backpedal a bit. Write Athena out, and make the sequel what this first movie should’ve been: A lighthearted/funny movie focusing on Kim and Ron’s friendship, Rufus and Wade. They went way too heavy on the drama here. Shoehorning this Athena character in there for no reason is the downfall of the movie. I think they simply missed the mark with the plot line. If they can somehow fix the few things they did wrong, I’m actually excited about the future of the franchise and I’m more than willing to give them a second chance. I agree that Sean as Ron is great. I actually really liked Taylor Ortega as Shego though! I’d like to see things like Kim and Ron’s relationship play out in live action tbh. I’ll be kinda sad if this franchise just..... dies... due to all the backlash. The movie was decent/could’ve been worse and people need to calm down about it imo.

After watching it again and giving it some thought, this seems about right. As someone that likes the cartoon, I enjoyed the effort they put into this to make it something entertaining, but it didn't work all the way through. The cast was fine, but the writing really lacked and the action scenes left me wanting more...

[@Merdicano]

And it was the creators of the series that wrote the movie

[@SuperGamerxl]

But live action doesn't need to be a cartoon it has to be different enough from the orignal a adaptation should be able to stand on its own and not rely so much on fan service and nostalgia.

[@luckyluma6485]

Some of the scenes were just, weird, with characters acting out of character. Like the big fight with the Hench women, why wasn't Ron fighting? And everyone was recording and laughing when Kim screwed up instead of being scared that people are attacking them. Another one is how Kim cries so much. She cries, like, four times in this movie and they just feel out of place. A final one for this comment is why does Kim still care about that robot girl (I forgot her name, that's how much I care about her)? First, she's a robot, and second, she never even liked Kim. There's more, I just down wan't to spend ten minutes writing a comment about a movie that is made for little kids who are easily inspired.

[@dnzl407]

That henchwoman fight scene had me jaw slapped as well, like how can you all laugh at the person trying to save you all from these hostile people??🤷 if the movie got one thing accurate it's the cruelness of today's society, in 2002 no one would have laughed and filmed that.

The biggest out-of-character moment was during the fight at the beginning of the movie. Kim made such a confident entrance as the teen superheroine she is and then out of nowhere she gets easily grabbed by two henchmen who try to throw her from the dam. It was shocking how she immediately started whimpering in fear and crying for them to stop.
