Mostly I think it's people objecting to the agency whirlpool in such close proximity to a vagina.
The closest to a legitimate complaint I've seen is that it's a myth for humans to be using only 10% of their brain. All the tissue is active. But most people use nowhere near its potential. Thing is, it takes a bookcase full of complex material to explain that, which would not fit into a movie. So I view the 10% riff as a metaphor, which in context, works just fine. Much of the examples were things people can actually do -- speed learning, body mastery, mental influence, even levitation are all associated with mind/body gurus. So that was cool.
The claim of racism just makes me shake my head. I mean, sheesh, the bad guys were playing mah jongg, the Asian surgeon was freaking awesome, and the black guy was still alive at the end. Go home, argument, you're drunk.
