No, it's not fair, but F=MA means Force = Mass x Acceleration and your argument only covers mass. Besides which a physical tussle between two individuals is more complicated than that (unless you have one jumping off a wardrobe to land on another). Sure Hollywood exaggerates things for its own ends, but you are simplifying things to the other extreme - which is equally ridiculous. Pick two random individuals and the stronger (not necessarily the heavier) is probably a good bet in a close-in fight, but in a story like this one of the individuals are not random - their attributes are up to the author.
