New controversy section

A new editor, Blyters64 is persisting with creating a "controversy" section in the article. I have reverted twice now, but he keeps restoring his edits without addressing the numerious problems I have highlighted:

1. The segregation of content is not justified. The length of the section (two sentences) does not justify creating a new section for what is essentially a very short paragraph. Also, MOS:FILM#Controversies recommends not creating controversy sections structured along POV lines, which this edit certainly does.
2. A review by National Review criticised the film for its treatment of its female characters, finding it misogynistic. The previous version of the article correctly attributed this opinion to the National Review but the editor changed it to "some critics". This statement is unsubstantiated and fouls foul of WP:WEASELWORDS as an unsupported attibution.
3. The edit also stripped citation details out of the references (namely The New York Times, The Orlando Sentinel and The Gainesville Sun) leaving them as WP:BAREURLS. I consider this borderline vandalism. In addition to stripping out the citation details, the editor also moved them from their strategic locations (making it clearer which claims they corroborated) to the end of the sentence.
4. The editor also added further sources which seem to serve no further purpose. This is in itself is not a huge problem, but the claim were not being challenged and fivae citatiosn for an unchallenged claim probably falls within WP:OVERCITE.

Please do not restore the content without either containing a WP:Consensus for the edits or addressing the issues highlighted above. Betty Logan (talk) 20:06, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Article restructuring

There has been a recent spate of edits by an IP reordering the sections in the article. This results in a counter-intuitive order: The home media section now appears before the theatrical release, which is illogical from a reader's perspective. The "cancelled sequel" section is moved to the "Other media" section. A sequel is not "other media": a second film would be of the same media as the first film, so doesn't belong in such a section. I am restoring the original ordering and I urge the anonymous editor to join the talk page and obtain a consensus for their edits before restoring them again.
