Well, this one’s tricky
I waited quite a while for someone to watch it first so I could know if it was woke or not. But since nobody said anything, I went ahead and watched the entire first season. Straight to the point: Is it woke? Yes, it is. It checks all the diversity boxes, and there’s (NO SPOILERS) one character that fills the typical “poor victim” quota you usually see in Apple productions. But is it entertaining? Yeah, honestly. Even with the diversity elements and a character doing some occasional girl-bossing, it doesn’t ruin the story. I was actually surprised they didn’t lean harder into the usual woke topics they normally push in Apple shows. So I started watching the second season. By Apple’s woke standards, this one is pretty watchable.
Very entertaining.
This movie is over-the-top in a Rambo sort of way. The acting is great. The story is action-packed. The fight scenes are intense. Mostly, the lighthearted, confident, tough-guy attitude in the face of mortal danger is kind of like Dumas' original stories. It's like superhero for adults. It's a fun watch. There's no DEI or woke agenda.
Typical Woke stuff, but nothing outrageous.
(No Spoilers) The woke stuff isn't too bad but it is present. However, the movie itself is mediocre. (Yes, I know it's a kids movie, but I watch all kinds and there are some great kids movies.) Woke Stuff: - A few of the characters are androginous to the point of looking trans. (A lot of the female characters look male and the male characters look female. I.E.: The principal; the main villianess; a few gag extras etc...) - Main male characters wearing makeup and cross-dressing in flashbacks to high school. (They are spoofing "Boy George" from the 80's however their were millions of choices they could have made that didn't include a crossdresser who wore makeup.) Movie stuff: - Generally just a pretty boring movie made for the extreme A.D.H.D. younger generations. - Not very original...The movie spoofs: Terminator; Beetlejuice; Wile E. Coyote; Fantastic 4; Groundhog Day (Happy Death Day) (in the first mini-movie) and more.
Not very entertaining.
Although the movie has its moments, It's really not that entertaining. It does seem to translate Orwell's allegorical novella to a modern world. The basics are there. There's a few changes like a waterwheel instead of the windmill. They skipped some of the events in the book like defending the farm against Farmer Jones or the neighbor. The progression is similar. The rules keep getting changed to suit those in charge. I enjoyed the movie. I recommend watching it as the allegory about Stalin-ism it's meant to be.
