I went into fully expecting this to be woke and to not like it. Surprisingly I didn't really see anything woke. I mean yes the title character is the
usual tiny 100lb female but they don't have her overpowering large men in one on one combat. Everything she does is using vehicles or weapons.
Yes some of the things she is able to do are ridiculous but then so are the men. I don't see the Mary Sue complaint either as she is trained to survive as a child in a wasteland then spends her entire captivity doing nothing then trains with the truck driver and his squad for years. The movie just jumps past all this and its literally a scene transition and its
over. I remember only one other female in the warriors all the rest are men. This is about on par with Fury Road in quality. The acting is all decent with some excellent stunt work and action scenes marred by overuse of mediocre CGI and green screen. I also found the first hour or so to be worst as they really ramp up the weirdness factor and it just feels like a silly self parody. However the second half drops a lot of this and focuses more on the action scenes. The story is a little hard to follow at time with odd scene cuts and transitions that just happen out of nowhere especially in the first half. Everything is over the top in these movies and that's always been the point so lack of realism doesn't really bother me at this point. The writing has some problems and some things make no sense as they are happening. This also has the problem all prequels have in that you already know what happens
and which characters survive. If they are in Fury Road you already know they don't die so there is no real tension in any dangerous situations. All in all not a bad Mad Max movie and if you liked Fury Road you will probably feel about the same with this one.

Story Surpasses Woke

Nine years later, I have to admit this does read a little woke. Back in 2016, I really didn’t notice (as much).

There’s a lot of forced diversity on screen and super female empowerment, but it reads well within the story. And that’s what’s most important: the story. What woke movies completely miss today is writing, acting, and producing good stories. The production always gets pushed to the side in favor of the aGEnDa!!111

So yes, it’s woke. But I didn’t care. It wasn’t heavy handed. And the story read well. If more productions endeavored to create original content versus rehashing and tearing down classic content, websites like this wouldn’t be necessary.

Anti White and shit movie

Daly Schaeffer’s wife’s boyfriend really liked this movie and he isn't very happy people don't care about gay and fake race baiting, i don't know why even is he on this site and not some cuck support group. Woke aside its not a good movie either, but black mediocrity is always put on a pedestal.

Zero woke agenda! Great writing and acting!

The premise is, the borderline agoraphobic identical twin of a missing detective needs to impersonate his brother to solve the mystery of his disappearance. The actors play their parts to perfection. The writing and directing are top notch. After watching season one, this is one of the best series I've ever seen. I hope season two is good. They have a lot to live up to.

Only real woke is the mixed race white female black male couple yet again. The acting is fine mostly but the real problem is its just not funny.
It's not really so much bad as its just kind of boring. I found most of the characters and situations either annoying or sad and pathetic but
not funny. There are a few funny lines but they are so few it's really not worth a watch in my opinion.

3rd Wave Feminism Ruins Another One

This is a great show about a Joe Leaphorn, a tribal police officer in the 70s. But by season 3, pick any woman and she'll have been written into a Mary Sue. The men fumble around being men, and since that's not female it's bad. Can't have men being men. No, men need to learn to follow a woman's lead in every decision, because of course, the women are the true authorities. It was bad enough when Feminist writers destroyed Old Man, now they have destroyed Dark Winds. Why don't you just make a purely feminist show? Oh maybe it's because no one would watch it.

Overrepresentation in DEI checkmark casting. 6 crew members-1 white female, 1 spanish female, 2 black males, 1 asian male, 1 white male.
This is basically a ripoff of The Thing but in space with a little Alien mixed in. Wholly generic and unoriginal. The acting is all pretty bad, the VFX range wildly from pretty good to just awful. The director (named flying lotus, I shit you not......sigh) is more interested in going for
quick cuts and flashes or attempts at art house visuals and shots than telling an interesting coherent story.

This might actually be worse than the last one. Spanish DEI leads with all their DEI friends are back from the previous movie including the black lesbian now in a mixed race couple. Gail is now also seeing a black man half her age. Black lesbian wears a shirt that says 'strong femme lead' .All of the dei characters are nasty, unlikable, aggressive borderline violent characters. Lead assaults' a white male character by tazing him in the groin and claims he trying to date rape her sister, even though
her sister is telling her she wants to go and he's basically falling over drunk. The writing and acting again is awful, spoilers follow..................
Sam's therapist a white male of course has her tell him about her trauma then appears to almost shit himself in fear and threatens to report her to the police. For what exactly? That would never happen, he would be sued and probably lose his license. Killer in full costume chases them down the st of New York city and into a store full of customers and starts killing people. The cashier misses a point blank shot with shotgun and the killer gets away as the police take forever to arrive. A very loud attack with people screaming takes place in an apartment and non of the neighbors seem to notice or call the police. The same nonsense with Sam seeing and hearing Billy from the last movie is here as well. Killer attacks very slowly a character on a crowded subway and nobody sees anything. Characters are shot and stabbed repeatedly and appear to be almost dead than are magically fine 2 minutes later and act like nothing happened. The killers are of course a white family. The final 30 minutes just like the last movie are complete stupid silly embarrassingly bad nonsense. The black super twins appear to have DEI immortality at this point as they are able to survive an impossible amount of bodily harm that would easily have killed a straight white person. Once you realize who the killers are it makes the scene with ghostface standing over Quinn menacingly stupid and pointless as they are the only 2 in the room. You also realize tiny Quinn is the one who attacks in Gail's apartment and is able to overpower and dispatch a large 38 year old male with ease but can't manage to kill 60 year old Gail who has been stabbed 3 times. What is the point of faking Quinn's death? It serves no purpose within the movie having the characters think she's dead, its cheap bad writing that's only there to try to trick the audience.
The entire premise behind Richie's family trying to get revenge is complete nonsense. Once Richie's identity is found out in the last movie
his family would of been all over the news everywhere. Ghostface killings would be major national news at this point. Especially considering his father is a longtime police officer whos son is the serial killer!! There is no way nobody would know who these people are especially the FBI agent!!

Subpar 60/40 Woke to Watchable

It’s amazing how these weak characters could be the survivors of this event. The “man” character is weak and women characters take on the roles of men. In a survivor scenario I could believe some form of this but this is just unconvincing. Another attempt to demoralize the role of men and promote women. Nothing against women or the DEI characters chosen for this movie but woke does not reflect reality and it diminishes films like this. Could be worse but still a little difficult to watch.

Not too woke

Malin character plays a teenager which is very silly. But very 80s slasher. Alex character has 2 gay dads. Interracial couple x2 by niggers. Some woke one liners. But doesn't distract or take too much away.

Holy wokefest where to start with this. Way over the top overrepresentation in DEI hires. Woodsboro is suddenly the most diverse place on earth. The leads are Spanish sisters and the friends check every single box. The black twins, the Asian one, and the lesbian. There is not one single same race couple in this entire movie and there are a lot. Spanish sister is with a white male. The other Spanish sister has a white male love interest. The black male twin is with a white female. The two black twins mom is Randy's white sister from the first 2 so even though we never see it there is another obvious mixed race. Minor spoiler.....Spanish sister is Billy Loomis daughter so even Billy has been turned into a mixed race couple from the grave. The black
lesbian hooks up with an Asian girl. Hell even the killers are a mixed race couple. Complete Woke nonsense. Then they go on a speech about 'toxic fans' who don't like new movies being made ironically just like this one that shits all over originals with no originality whatsoever. Spoiler......one of the main killers is.... shocking a white male 'toxic fan' who hates what the Stab movies are doing to the franchise in the scream universe. Even the motive is woke garbage. Spoiler....every single person killed is white, not one of the many minorities is killed with the exception of one of the killers. The acting by most of the new cast is not very good and the dialog is typical of badly written modern movies. This also suffers the now common lazy garbage writing in everything now. Some examples-There is a loud violent attack in a hospital lounge with a security guard and nurse station right outside the door
and nobody hears anything. Sherriff goes flying down the street in a residential neighborhood in the middle of the day with siren blaring and tires screeching to a halt then gets attacked outside in broad daylight and not one neighbor sees or hears anything. Sam seeing and hearing Billy makes zero sense as she never met, saw or heard him ever in her life. A hospital with no staff around and almost no lights on. Dewey once again can't hit a target standing right in front of him. The final half
hour at the house goes into full silly parody territory. This is yet another unoriginal unnecessary, soulless woke desecration of a great franchise that should of never happened.

Everybody's got something to hide, except for him and his monkey

Like Billy Elliot, but straight. Mostly. With a monkey. Chimps are technically apes, but monkeys are more cheeky. And more fun by the barrel.

The lads speak like proper blokes. Like Harry Potter, but fun. Might be exotic for the Yanks. I think the Yankettes like that. That's a lot of likes. Channeling my inner Jersey girl. Normandy, not NJ.

The whole movie is pretty much apolitical. Williams comes from back when entertainers knew not to alienate half their audience. Fancy that.

As a movie, it's well-crafted, energetic, unapologetic, slightly self-reflective, sans the angst. The musical pieces also reminded me why I never was into boy bands. Or girl bands. Not the audience. Williams somewhat comes off as a Jamiroquai wannabe with Oasis envy, in a male Spice Girls act. Dreadful.

Being unfair here. From what little I've heard, he's a genial chap. Certainly seems so from his biopic.

Still, I enjoyed the movie. Probably means it's good.

And well, monkey.
