Some obvious wokeness, but not strong enough to avoid a good movie !
Very good movie overall, despite some obvious wokeness that won't overpower the quality of this work. Some great actor performances too.

Another Social Media Focused Bottom Feeder
Lesbian couple is the focus of the 'story' if you can call it that. Bad acting. Weird jarring editing and cuts. Random flashes of static images inserted into scenes. The whole cast of characters is internet famous annoying social media punchable idiots. Who do directors keep populating their movies with horrible unlikable characters? Once again this is NOT horror. It's a bunch of annoying characters talking, arguing and screaming at each other for 95 percent of the movie and then throw a little 'horror' in for the last 10 minutes. It's trash. There's
isn't even any good kills, scares or gore.

No Comedy, No Horror
This is another failed comedy/horror. The comedy isn't funny and there is no horror to be found. The acting is not so much bad as it is bad directing. This type of story has been done before many times and there is nothing original here. I was bored and ready to give up by the 30 minute mark. The fx are ok but it's not worth sitting through the entire movie for. There is some DEI over representation and it may get more woke further into the movie but I didn't care to waste time finding out.

The Woke of the RoHERrim
I have seen many people claiming this is not woke, just because the main character is "not an insufferable girlboss", but you could not be more wrong.
Yes, the script cleverly tries to deceive you into thinking Héra is not bossy, nor too strong (more about this later). But of course they have to show you how smart she is, how wild, free, "untamable" and important she is, how she is the fastest rider, how talented for combat she was since childhood, how she can even trick a huge scary creature into killing another huge scary creature so easily, and how she can even befriend the Great Eagles at the very beginning of the movie. *Facepalm*
Everytime she says or suggests something and the dumb men won't listen to her, something bad has to happen, because she always HAS to be right.
Very early in the movie and also at the end, she makes it very clear that she needs no man and "she will marry no man", even if this should be one of her most important duties as a princess, since the story takes place in a medieval age. But the hell with that, because of course, she is a free and adventurous spirit that can just ditch her responsibilities if she wants to, because fighting patriarchy is what matters the most!
This is supposed to be the story of Helm Hammerhand, and yet, the lame excuse for his death in this movie is to save Héra, of course, stating she is "the true leader that Rohan needs" and she could even "rule the world", because... yes, there is no reason, she does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING during the story to deserve that praise. NOTHING.
Remember how I mentioned how Héra is not portrayed as "strong"? Of course that has to drastically change immediately at the final confrontation when she is fighting a MAN, easily stopping his arm, pushing it back, pinning him down to the ground and finally killing him BY HOLDING THE SMALLEST SHIELD EVER AGAINST HIS THROAT WITH ONE HAND!!! Are you f*cking kidding me?
In the original story, Fréaláf Hildeson (Helm Hammerhand's nephew) is the one slaying Wulf, saving Rohan and claiming the throne, but here, he is just like: "Oh, Héra, the throne rightfully belongs to you, but since you don't want it, I'll take it... but it should be you!". It's forced, lame, cringy, embarrassing.
If you see it just as a movie fan, it sucks; If you are a LOTR fan, it sucks three times more; If you are a Tolkien fan and know the original story, though... It's an abomination. Just do yourself a favor and skip this one.

Not exactly woke
No themes. Reindeer are female, brief flamboyant/it child, lots of DIE casting.

Pleasant curio
This short-lived series was an attempt to bring the Vampire The Masquerade RPG to the telly, so a different, yet highly syncretic take on the vampire mythos.
This one is not teenage girl heart-throb, angsty disco sucker, and no effete Cruise & Pitt. Although all three could be Clan Toreador.
The main focus here is the Prince of San Francisco, who is basically an arbiter between the clans, as no older, more powerful kindred wants the hassle of the charge, and his efforts to uphold the Masquerade (tm), ie: the continuous effort of vampires to hide in plain sight, as an aware and united mankind could very possibly be an existential threat.
On the plus side, the script is honestly decent, if somewhat lazy in its use of clan tropes, but still pleasant enough.
On the minus side, it is cheaply made. Very cheaply. Clan Toreador is fittingly alluring, Clan Ventrue dignified, and so on, because it's rather easy to find good-looking actors.
The Nosferatu are appalling. They personify the horror of the beast within, the uncontrollable, raging animal instinct. They're ... bald.
Same goes for visual effects. They're bad, even for the 90s. Shape-shifting is awful. Any werewolf movie did it better. Heck, even the abysmal Manimal series did it better 15 years prior.
And yeah, everyone can shape-shift into a wolf for some reason. I mean, who wouldn't want to turn into a 60-pounds canine who can't speak, use a gun or operate door handles?
Also, the script plays fast and loose with the rules, but hey, telly is not TTRPG, so one has to adapt.
All in all, it's short and rather nice, and quite possibly very accessible to a non-player.

Is this the best we can hope for?
While this movie did not reference climate change, it did mention again and again the fact that the number of tornados has increased in the past few years. Also a plus was Glenn Powell's character, who was competent and charismatic.
That said, this is a movie of our time period. The female lead was a genius who knew how to control tornados and single handily saved the day at the end. I'm not saying that women can't be the hero, but in prior decades a male would have been in this role. Additionally, the romance or lack of it is also a sign of our times. The male lead chased after the female lead who remained indifferent for most of the film. It did seem that by the end that would end up together with him following her. I'd give this a 1.5 woke rating.

Not exactly woke
But they did go the gender swap and DIE casting route. Dr Teddy is male in the comics, not female. She's a decent actress so it didn't distract as much as Dr Christmas being black. No woke themes though. Would have pushed a 3/5 woke if the family was interracial, black, or hispanic.

A Rather Unserious Movie About a Somewhat Serious Topic
Wokeness: It's more "anti-woke", so be warned. Some are just as annoyed by anti-woke content.
My opinion: It emulates early 2000s comedies reasonably well, while delivering a clear message against biological men in women's sports. A lot of people said it was misrepresenting trans women in women's sports, but not only was it accurate, it became even more relevant with the Paris Olympics. I might be the only one that enjoyed Boreing's rather flat performance, that he did because no actor in Hollywood would touch this project. Kudos for DW for tackling the most sacred of progressive cows: transgenderism.
As a film, it's very much a small studio film with barely competent writing and acting but decent production values, and the final result rises above mediocrity.

Funny the first time, wouldn't watch it again.
I had a few chuckles when I watched this movie, but it wasn't very funny and it basically relied on "REMEMBER THIS THING THAT HAPPENED FROM EARLIER THIS YEAR?!" gags. Unfortunately Ladyballers will not be understood or relevant even 3 years from now because of this. Am I Racist is a much better film in my opinion, but hey they have to start somewhere.

Not woke in the slightest
The other review exaggerates the "wokeness" of this movie to a high degree. It's a dumb movie, but it's not woke at all.
