The only thing I worried about was the badly done first trailer which *appeared* to make Leslie Jones' character seem like a racist caricature? But none of the reviews seem to single that out as a criticism. (Although why the WOC couldn't be a scientist, and a white girl be the "expert on the city", I don't know.)
If you want to read a splendid take down of the girl-bashers, look no further than John Scalzi:
"BUT THEY’VE RUINED MY CHILDHOOD BY BEING WOMEN, wails a certain, entitled subset of male nerd on the Internet. Well, good, you pathetic little shitballs. If your entire childhood can be irrevocably destroyed by four women with proton packs, your childhood clearly sucked and it needs to go up in hearty, crackling flames."
