Woke consists of DEI casting resulting in 2 mixed race couples. The single father is a drunk loser while the daughter seems to be the responsible one. The acting is bad, the dialogue is terrible the music is out of place for the scenes. The story is the standard lost at sea cliché. Just an example of how lazy the film makers are, this takes place in the FL Keys but all the background scenes have mountains clearly visible everywhere.

fun movie wich a little wokeness on it

woke elements:
casting(black male, white woman couple) agenda push
main villain is a evil white man(his story of why he is a villain make sense at least)
non woke elements:
family focus(teaches about respect and understanding)
family value(protagonists decide to abandon old independent life for the purpose of having a family)

Beware of strangers.

Very interesting and unconventional thriller. Woke free ! The main actress is excellent.

Not woke. Feminist.

I had fears and doubts about this one. It ends up being very feminist, not woke. All male characters are either sex maniacs, vile or dumb... That's an excellent indicator.
For the rest, the quality of the movie is up to you. I enjoyed the first two -thirds, the scenario is a rather good idea. Demi Moore nails it ! But the end... I don't know.

Revenge done right!

Gladiator is one of those movies that reminds you why you love movies in the first place. It’s raw, brutal, and unapologetically badass—a far cry from today’s pussy standards or politically correct fluff. And it’s glorious.

Russell Crowe as Maximus Decimus Meridius? Pure alpha energy. He’s a man’s man—loyal, honorable, and driven by vengeance. His quiet charisma is the backbone of the movie. Meanwhile, Joaquin Phoenix’s Commodus with his warped obsession with his sister Lucilla, is a villain who feels real because he’s driven by a disturbingly human cocktail of inadequacy and narcissism. Add in Oliver Reed (RIP, legend) and Connie Nielsen, and you’ve got an all-star cast firing on all cylinders.

The action scenes are insane and still holds up even by today's standards, and that’s because it’s not reliant on overdone CGI or flashy digital overload. The arena fights are savage, the stakes are high, and the crowd roars as Maximus tears through his enemies. And let’s not forget the sweeping score by Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard--it’s so epic it feels like it was written for the gods.

Now, let’s talk about what makes this movie such a breath of fresh air. There’s no modern-day preaching shoved into the script. Maximus isn’t some neutered, overly-sensitive dude who needs to "learn a lesson." He’s a warrior from the start, plain and simple. The movie doesn’t try to force in some unnecessary “girlboss” angle, either. Lucilla’s a great character because she fits naturally into the story—smart and strong willed, but still very much a product of her world. The film isn’t trying to make some grand statement about gender or identity; it’s just telling a damn good story.

Maybe the only thing that feels a little too Hollywood is how they clean up some of the uglier aspects of ancient Rome (slavery wasn’t exactly as honorable as it looks here), but that’s just nitpicking. For the most part, the movie sticks to its guns and delivers a gritty, no-nonsense epic.


Bottom line : Gladiator isn’t a movie for people looking for lectures or agendas. It’s for those of us who just want to see a man take down an empire with grit, honor, and a sword. Gladiator doesn’t hold back, and that’s why it’s still a classic.

Slightly Below Average Horror/Comedy

Nothing really woke. The acting is ok but the humor isn't really funny everyone just comes off as annoying. There is plenty of
blood and but no scares. It's more comedy than horror really and it's watchable if your bored just don't expect a great movie.

Seriously? Is my television out of tune? Did I see that?

Really? Credits go for wearing their Marxist left wing ideologies on their shirt sleaves, getting out the bullhorn and letting everyone know they're here. This film can't even be considered entertainment. It's propaganda. These sad liberal clowns have been reduced to barfing their ideas right on top of your head in the form of a docudrama about the right wing's plan to destroy Earth, complete with stock footage of KKK members burning crosses and, of course, Trump.

Thank God California looks like it was flooded over with trash from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in this awful film. They're self-righteous sore losers anyhow.

Full transparency. I flipped this movie off rather quickly. If it got better, let me know.

Low Budget Mediocre Sci-Fi

The movie is basically 1 black male and 2 white females so theres that. The only white male who looks way more capable of survival
than either of these horibly miscast females has a 10 second scene where his whole job is sitting in a corner handing out weapons, ammo
and supplies to others. The lead male is pretty much a beta to the more capable females. The acting and writing are terrible. None of these characters are believable in their ability to survive an apocalypse scenario. The annoying kid can barely make it through the night without a breathing machine somehow has lasted 3 years. The budget
is so small the survival groups camp has no actual people in it just this small handful of idiots who would never survive.

If Fargo Was Super Woke.......And Terrible

Black lesbian female police captain. Multiple mixed race couples. Only white male character is a complete asshole cop. Way over the top DEI casting with very few white characters. All of this was in the 30 minutes of this I could stand to watch so there was most likely more to follow. The acting is ok I guess but the writing is so bad it may have been AI generated. Nothing makes sense and nobody does or acts like these characters do. Everyone acts like a complete braindead idiot all the time. This is a standard Fargo attempt by a complete inept filmmaker.

Not woke

Strong independent woman, heavier black casting than required for setting

Reality vs. my social media and my cell phone

I'm conflicted about this movie. It's a huge commentary about how kids can't relate to anything real outside of their phones. Well, in my opinion. That's kind of cool. Horary for confirmation bias!

So, why in the absolute hell do they inject, right into the center of the film, what I think is her ex, telling us he's gay, not gay, he's asexual. Is that a problem that I'm telling you this? My need to be a stallion with my gay lover, not succeeding. Now I'm asexual! Agenda. Absolutely no need for it.

Men are kind of portrayed as imbeciles as well.

"I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability"

As Good as It Gets is a masterpiece of the "they’d-never-make-this-today" variety. It’s sharp, brutally honest, and lets its characters be flawed, complex humans instead of sanitized moral mascots. Jack Nicholson plays Melvin Udall who's an author with OCD who hates everyone equally. Women, gays, Jews, blacks, you name it—no one’s safe from his verbal grenades. And yet, Jack Nicholson plays him so well that you don’t just tolerate him; you want him to win. Helen Hunt plays Carol who's a struggling single mom with a no-nonsense charm, who gives him a reason to get his act together. She’s not there to fix Melvin like some Disney princess swooping in with a fairy-tale ending. Instead, she makes him work for her affection, and that's part of the appeal, and their chemistry is fire.

Highlights? Everything Melvin says. Period. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and you’ll wonder how today's "safe space" culture would never greenlit this type of movie. Another highlight I would like to mention is the gay artist played by Greg Kinnear. Simon isn’t just there as a "token gay character" (a trap so many movies fall into); he’s a fully realized person with his own struggles, ambitions, and vulnerabilities. In a lesser movie, Simon would’ve been a one-note "gay best friend" caricature, but here, he’s a crucial part of the story. His storyline avoids modern preachiness. It’s there to support the story, not push an agenda. Whether you care about representation or not, Simon’s just a damn well-written character IMO.

Bottom Line: Melvin is a jerk, but a hilariously real one, and his redemption arc feels messy in all the right ways. The humor hits hard, the emotions run deep, and the performances are so good they’d make today’s safe, corporate Netflix rom-coms weep with envy. It’s bold, it’s honest, and it’s better than 90% of the stuff Hollywood churns out today. Watch it.
