Awake not Woke!

Smack my bitch up

It's an amusing film until towards the end, when it goes into a cute Disney style slapstick fest that lasts half an hour. Most tolerate that better than I and rate the film higher. It's so far from woke that any man behaving today like John Wayne's character might wind up in prison.

Bleh

This film must have had an extraordinarily low budget. I think there were only three set changes. The pacing was slow, the acting was a little cringe, and there were definite woke elements. Pretty bad overall production. The quote the previous reviewer posted about “some old white guy” was really jarring and misplaced. But what was actually funny about the comment was the perpetrator ended up being “some old black guy,” but she never bothered to correct her statement. That would have been a really smart way to make a stab at the overarching narrative and hypocrisy. But no, she just let that comment sit. Typical. And yes, we had an asexual protagonist that went out of his way to say so. Weird. Dumb movie. I sensed they were going for an edgy indie style, and it felt forced and inauthentic. I watched the whole thing, and regret doing so. I really need to stop watching modern productions.

Nothing Woke. This is close in quality to 3 except maybe a little bit worse. Still watchable but some of writing is not so and there is some problems with characters doing stupid things. Non of these characters is very likable either unlike with the original. For some unexplained reason Dewey is suddenly totally normal with no limp or lame arm from the 2nd and 3rd one. He now for some reason also can't hit a target 20ft in front of him with multiple shots. There is also a very creepy comment from a police officer talking about a high school girl saying 'she can live next to me'. It's a very weird creepy pedo groomer moment and there is no reason for it.

Nothing really woke in this one. One instance of a black character making a comment about how hard it is to get work as an actor if your black. That's really all I remember. This is the weakest of the OG trilogy. I rated it the same as the 2nd one but really probably more like a 3.5 but you can give half points on this site. The acting is mostly ok but there are a few not so good actors as well. The story is ok I guess and is written to kind of tie everything together. The writing though is not as good. More problems with characters doing stupid things and some really stretches in logic and a few holes in the story that aren't explained and doing add up. Still worth watching and an ok ending to the trilogy.
