It's part of a franchise I love and the movie has good reviews.

But I can't stand the lead's face and accent! I passionately hate her model/doll face (Curse you, casting people!) and she has the sort of English accent that I find really unlikable.

Looked her up on the IMDb in the hope of finding a role in which I liked her. Apparently I've seen her before on Doctor Who - I didn't like her then either. *sigh*
