LEFTIES RAGE
Another Glen Powell movie that tries to pose as progressive and liberal but ends up being more trash heavy on political propaganda and basically pushing the idea that communism is the best answer. This time they didn’t even bother to hide it. In the "Twisters" movie they at least tried to mask it with different angles and paid a ton of journalists to say “it’s not woke,” but here they shove it in your face not subtly, either, with a Che Guevara image as a nod to revolution or the anarchy ⩜ symbol. On top of that there’s constant moralizing from the people of color, who are the only “good” characters, while the villains are all white — except the protagonist, because he’s an “ally” married to a Black woman. Yet another wasted opportunity; without all that extra stuff the movie could've been an okay popcorn movie, but the nonstop moralizing and trying to lecture the audience is annoying and pulls you right out of the film, slapping you in the face and making you realize there's still a long way to go before the lefties loses enough money to learn that "get woke go broke.
Very Unlike Melissa Joan Hart. Couldn't watch.
I admit I had a crush on Melissa Joan Hart in the very early 90's when she played Clarissa on Nickelodeon and again as Sabrina. I've kind of followed her on and off throughout the years. She just seems nice, like a good person, and that's why this film stinks. After she comes on to the Warlock apartment manager in order to stay and a few other grotesque displays, it was time for Rent Control to end. There's no woke elements, but there's something wrong with her boyfriend. He leaves the apartment in the 2nd act for one reason or another, but they get back together. I think Melissa keeps teasing him with the prospect of sex and never gets around to it, so maybe he's just frustrated. I have to say, skip this movie.
This one was a little hard to rate as there are so many seasons. The first seven seasons are peak Archer, with great storylines, voice acting, and spot on humor. I would say there is no woke in these seasons even though there are some comments it's done more in a humorous way and the show pretty much makes fun of everything with nothing being really preachy or annoying. There is a gay character and minorities show up as guest stars but again nothing is done in a woke agenda way. Then season 8,9, and 10 change and go to individual self contained theme seasons. These are a step down in quality with completely different character personalities. These seasons also start to see a little more of social justice woke stuff start to intrude a bit. It's still not terrible but it starts to become noticeable. Season 8 is the weakest of these 3 themed seasons and i would even say is maybe skippable altogether. Season 11 is a return to normal storylines but again it's a step down in quality. A little more woke pushes it way in and is starting to become annoying. Characters personalities are different and the humor isn't as good but this is in my opinion the last decent season. The main writer left after this season and there are a bunch of new writers after this. Season 12,13 and 14 are unwatchable woke garbage with characters almost unrecognizable now and pretty much every woke talking point and leftist nonsense injected. The jokes are stale, recycled poorly from previous seasons and all the humor is gone. There are tons of guest stars that are all woke DEI characters and a lot of leftist political storylines. Archer has been reduced to an idiot, neutered cuck and Lana is now a screeching angry harpy that just screams every single line of dialog. I would suggest watching at least season 1-7 and if you really enjoyed those maybe 8-11 but don't waste your time after that. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 overall is because there are far more excellent to good seasons then there are terrible ones.
As others stated the only woke is some DEI overrepresentation in background characters. It's a minor thing and not even that many scenes. I can't give it a woke rating based on that alone. As far as these Conjuring universe movies go it's up there with the rest of them in my opinion. The acting is great, the FX are pretty good. There is a minimal use of jump scares and more about building tension, sounds and visuals just out of focus and actual terror. This takes place in the 80's and it actually feels like it unlike so many period movies now that just throw some music and pop culture references in and think they did good. Everything from the film style, the clothes, the décor the attitudes, they got it all right. I've been watching these from the beginning and for me this did not disappoint.
