Ballerina

So, one post says it's woke with no reason why. I really enjoyed the movie. The character, Eva Maccaro was well cast. Yeah, a little over the top, when this 125lb woman get's slammed to the ground, knocked through walls and windows, and quickly recovers. But what do you expect? It's a John Wick movie. Loved seeing Winston, Charon and John Wick.

It's not bad

It's the typical 120lbs woman is hard as nails but that's the movie. It's not real but she's not invincible. They actually say she will always be at a disadvantage against men so she should do anything she needs to win. Overall it's worth the watch.

This one is a little hard to rate on the woke scale. The John wick movies by this time are so over the top unrealistic with him basically
being super human it's ridiculous. There is an argument to made that this is just an attempt to make a female version of John Wick so it
is by definition woke. I see this as a mix of bad writing and woke together. John Wick at the time of the first movie is ready to retire and
has been at this for a very long time. He has built a reputation through decades of experience and life lessons to get to be the machine that he
is. Here however she goes through a training montage gets sent on her very first mission ever and easily defeats 5 assailants at the same time, in
a dress and heals on ice. She gets beaten and kicked but is never injured or even bloody and just gets up like nothing happened and beats them all down. Then we jump 2 months later where she appears to have taken on and killed dozens of men in a basic warzone, yet she is again uninjured with no bruises or any visible blood and perfect made up hair and clothes without breaking a sweat. This trend continues throughout the movie, every fight her opponents are bloodied
and bruised but she always looks perfect never breaking a sweat and not a hair out of place. She physically takes on and defeats much larger men but the minute her opponent is a woman she has a much harder time beating them. She is an immediate super powered invincible Mary Sue who appears to be equal in skill and ability to John Wick an the end of his career. Then there is the argument that they picked 5'6" actress who is rail thin with no muscle definition. Some of this can be written off as bad writing as John Wick 4 has plenty of invincible stupid writing for that one as well but I think there is definitely some woke at work here. Then there is the white male Pine character with the black daughter. The acting is decent by most everyone, the story is nothing new just a generic revenge plot. The action scenes are the now typical for the franchise unrealistic over the top nonsense with a terminator
type character versus stupid canon fodder enemies that die easily by the dozens. They actually have an opportunity toward the end of the film to kill her but for some stupid reason decide to just capture her instead. They literally just the spent the entire movie trying to kill her than just don't when given the opportunity. Another example is the sword scene in the burning building when multiple enemies with guns refuse to simply shoot her and instead just run up to her to be killed like morons. The flamethrower guns with seemingly infinite 'ammo' is another notably bad writing moment. We are also told through the entire movie
by everyone how dangerous this tribe is and no one wants to mess with them. Then this newb just out of training easily slaughters her way through the entire town while they all act like bumbling untrained fools instead of a tribe of highly trained dangerous killers. I suppose it's a one time watch for fans of John Wick but it's the worst of the franchise by far.
