I tend to have problems when the main character, by default the protagonist, is someone I don't find very likeable. It doesn't make it a bad picture, just one that doesn't resonate for me as much personally. I have the same problem with Gone With The Wind, lol, which kinda blows the "gender bias" theory right out of the water.
