I really liked Mindy myself because she didn't fall apart when her father died, she just kept going. Which made her stand apart as a character with her own motivations and personality outside of just being a daughter. Okay, her motivation was to finish what her father started and avenge his death but that's a perfectly normal motivation for action heroes I think.
But oh wow I did not like the main character at all, mostly because it seemed like as an audience I was meant to be a nerdy guy sympathising with him and I'm not, and I saw him as an arsehole. I think deceiving someone who thinks you're incapable of being attracted to them and then touching them and sleeping next to them is fairly reprehensible. Which made it so disappointing when said girl didn't spend longer than 30 seconds being angry at him for it. Apparently he doesn't get the girl in the comics, and I keep wondering why they changed that. Can they really not make a movie anymore without throwing in something like that?
