Since it's a completely different origin story with "character changes," I looked at it from "another universe in the multiverse" perspective:
I kind of liked this movie when I watched it on TV when I was a teenager and kind of liked it. But now seeing it as an adult, I kind of get why many people didn't like it.
Some acting & VFX/CGI scenes kind of look weird in some scenes. Kind of liked the dark aesthetic & little bit of body horror elements (obviously they didn't go far enough to actually make it feel disturbing; wish they would).

It's like a Korean Shyamalan movie

The beginning is really good and believable. The main character gets intrigued, then worried, then scared, and because of his fear, he becomes clumsy, makes mistakes, etc. Very believable human reaction to the threat. This is the only good thing I have to say about this movie.

But then, it takes FOREVER for us to see the first monster. This is the main problem I had with the movie: everything takes FOREVER, and once something finally happens, it just keeps going on, and on, and on, until it quickly becomes either boring or annoying. Because of this problem, the OST has to keep repeating forever during many scenes, which becomes insanely annoying, too.

When you finally see the first monster, wow! It looks so cool for the first five minutes, and then it magically starts looking like crap, as if an entirely different team took over the CGI or the budget was slashed halfway through the monster scene. It sucks, and every CGI effect from that point on sucks big time.

And then comes the girlboss. Oh... my... f***ing God! Yes, the fearless, better-than-any-man, capable, ace-shooter, perfect-car-driver girlboss (seriously, make a drinking game out of every f***ing time she pulls off a perfect U-turn at full speed), etc. Of course, she has to be the one with the biggest gun in the whole movie (LOL), and... she NEVER shuts up! And by that, I mean she never stops yelling and screaming in the most annoying way possible. Seriously, her insufferable voice pierces your skull so badly that you'll want to kill yourself just to make it stop.

Both the final sequence and the ending suck ass, too, more than you can imagine.

I only watched this turd because I was completely fooled by the trailer. If you watched the trailer and you thought "wow, this looks good!", believe me, it ISN'T.

Typical road trip buddy comedy but without the comedy. Both the main male characters are rather unlikable and annoying. It's not too woke other
than maybe some DEI. After 40 minutes and not a single laugh I didn't care to continue. Another one that's not so much a bad movie as it's just not for me.

Pre-Woke Era

It’s still subtly woke, but not offensively so. On the surface, there’s obvious anti-Christian, pro-Islam and pro-lgbt agenda. It exists in the movie, so I should mention it. Beneath the surface there is agenda that doesn’t slap you in the face like the previous elements but also exists. I leave that one for you to discern.

If you supplant the film narrative with your own, you can insert your preferred world view and vilify whomever you wish. Is that woke then? Dunno. At least this film exists as a middle finger to the establishment regardless the party in power.

It’s watchable. Entertaining. And subtly woke. Pretty bad ass too in an anti-hero sort of way. Not entirely shabby. Give it a look if you haven’t already.

This movie has been done many times before and much better. It's the typical kidnapped child then force the parent to do some task while
they stay on the line and track them. It's all very predictable and cliché and Gadot's acting is pretty poor here. The writing is terrible with lots of stupid illogical mistakes. The hacker has an open line and can hear everything but somehow can't hear people screaming at her that she stole their phone. He's tracker her on a gps map but can't tell she's on a train instead of running. As for woke, there is a lot of DEI casting in background characters. The lead is said to be an immigrant.
The entire premise of the movie is very feminist with the usual men are violent and bad b.s. Her mother killed her father because he was violent and abusive. She becomes a lawyer to go after violent men and her client is snitching on a murderer/rapist. She accuses the voice on the phone of being a woman hater. Pass on this, there's much better with this same idea out there.

Classic Noir - Good mystery story.

As with almost anything made before the 1970's, no woke. The story is good. It was before the days of plot twists being so predicted that they're no longer twists, but expectations. Sam Spade is a great character. I can see why Bogart is such a cherished part of old cinema. It has been in my watch list for months, but I recently watched it because it's leaving streaming soon. I'm glad I took the time.

The first attempt at a complete CG Godzilla movie from Japan. I really wanted to like this one but there are some problems with it. While the acting is mostly good some of the dialogue is terrible though this may be a translation issue. The English speaking actors however are awful. I would say about 75 percent of the movie is just arguing and political red tape in an office setting with only 25 percent on Godzilla and it's surroundings. This would be fine if the dialogue was interesting, unfortunately it's not and at 2hrs long and gets very boring quickly. The use of CG for the most part looks great and the creature design
is pretty good and the scenes of destruction with Godzilla's rampage are a highlight. For some reason they decided to make it still look like an actor in a rubber suit. This results in very slow stiff unnatural movements for most of the movie and really hurts the look of it. I didn't see anything woke and overall not a terrible Godzilla movie.

Bacon free version - Not quite as good

Fred Ward did a great job carrying on the story. It's very similar to the first one. It's dark humor that's almost as good as the original.

Dark humor, no woke.

Great chemistry between Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon. Sometimes, it's hard for me to ignore the impossible physics and enjoy the fiction, but I somehow managed on this one. A half-ton creature simply cannot burrow underground in the Nevada desert faster than a man can run. I'm a surveyor in Nevada. I have to dig in that stuff.
No woke, just dark humor and adventure.

Hilarious, borderline raunchy, situation humor.

Lots of funny. I didn't notice any woke agenda.

The premise is that the Extra Terrestrial is just a regular guy with a sense of humor. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost wrote and stared in this. Seth Rogan voiced the alien. I may not have watched it if I knew that beforehand. I admit, he did a great job. The physical humor is great slapstick. I'm not a fan of raunch-comedy, but, like I said, it's borderline. I think it's an enjoyable watch.

Kirk Jones is okay-ish as Blade.
Episode 1: Liked the Blade's sunglass actually being useful equipment (temperature checking + camera), instead of just a cool factor. I mean, he does most of his work at night; normal sunglasses at night just don't make sense. There was never mention of Blade's father in the movies, but suddenly Robert Brooks, who was his father, was in his life for 10 years and provided him blood!
Episode 2: Too much unnecessary sexual tension, and it almost went lesbian mode, but it didn't yet. Also, "it" almost happened in Episode 4 too. This "Chase (character name)" woman was showing way too much horniness 😒 towards "Krista." "Nothing" happened yet. I just think the suggestive-lesbian theme was the idea of Geoff Johns; he was a "consulting producer" in the series. It's just my personal suspicion since he worked in lesbian-filled comics before for DC. AGAIN, JUST MY SUSPITION, NO PROOF OF HIS INFLUENCE ON THESE SCENES.
Episode 8: So, the young Abraham Whistler already knew about Blade (kid) while his father was with him? But according to the movie, old Whistler found Blade while he (B) was a teenager and was about to bite a homeless guy! This is very confusing, since this series was supposed to be a continuity of the movies (as far as I know). Well, at least how Whistler got his right leg broken was solved in the episode.
I'm not a democrat or republican (both are evil). Just saying there are some very small real-world political references in episodes 8 & 9, like, according to Krista's uncle, Marcus is the "donald trump" of that city and Alex the pure blood not liking "old tradition" (this was told in a way that feels like it is a mix of real-world & vampire politics)... Which are not exactly "to the face" and are very small and ignorable.
Episode 12: And there's the lesbo kiss right at the end between Chase & Krista 😑 (after Krista got out of the shower), which was absolutely unnecessary in this scene. Even the camera angle was very, very close to the lips. Geoff Johns proving his lesbian fetish again. Can't even call that a lesbo moment, more like a bisexual moment, since both of them did "it" with men.
Episode 13: Marcus says to Shen (captured), "Blade wouldn't dream of compromising his jihad in order to rescue you"! According to wikipedia, "Jihad is an Arabic word that means 'exerting', 'striving', or 'struggling', particularly with a praiseworthy aim." But why use that specific word in here 🤨 while the Iraqi 'hero' Krista (since 'merciless killers' who kill only for their own personal gain are 'heroes' according to americans?) was standing there?
The finale feels very rushed since there are lots of plot holes there.








Are the vampires a reference to jews/zions? Since they have their hands in tons of powerful places in the world and can "silence" almost anybody who finds out anything about them.

This special highlights how good this show could of been with good guest stars. The improve is great and it's pretty hilarious. Not sure why Pete shows up at the
very end when it's too late, but Maya and Jason are comedy gold here and everyone is clearly having a blast with it. Too bad this was cancelled before it found it's footing. It has some minor DEI casting I guess though like the show it's just a silly improv sketch comedy and not to be taken serious.
