Corny as Hell But Not Really Woke
Woke is some minor DEI casting and that's really it. The daughter in the first part of the movie is just spewing woke garbage every time she speaks but than it's revealed she is brainwashed by a woke moron boy who is a pos. After that she goes back to a normal person so it seems to be making fun of woke maybe. The movie is average at best though. The
comedy part is actually pretty funny and enjoyable but the movie absolutely fails at the action part. It's obvious the director can't do action. Those scenes are bland, boring and just badly done. There is also the now typical bad writing with completely implausible, stupid and impossible scenarios. It's really, really corny, cheesy and eye roll inducing. Despite that if you enjoy action comedies it is worth a watch given that it's not really woke.

Three fingers
Most IMDB reviewers claim this is the best in the series. I don't see it. It suffers from retreading ground from the first movie as well as serving as a "Part 0" lead-in to The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1. Still, it's more anti-woke than woke, with its core message against authoritarianism, and I appreciate that.
I told my wife that I thought the Hunger Games movies are about the modern American government. She challenged me to explain how the genetically modified baboons in Catching Fire fit that interpretation. I thought a moment and said it reminds me of FBI officers going to the homes of people who only posted "F Joe Biden" on social media. Granted, that started long after the movie was made, but you get the idea. I asked Copilot GPT-4, and it said that the baboons may represent the use of authoritarian terror by the American government to control the population and herd them in a certain direction. A surprisingly based answer! (I first told it to just accept the premise that the movie is a commentary on the American government.)
Overall, I give it 3 fingers.

Double check boxes
The show is very woke. Checks every woke box twice. I might could have looked past a little of it, but the show was very unfunny and tried to get laughs by being vulgar. No creativity at all. IMO, you should pass this one up.

Almost as woke as you can get.
Show is not that good. Parts in Kandahar and the UK are okay. Story line in Japan and US are terrible. Talk about over playing the LGBTQ stuff in the Japan story line. Not just a forced scene like we see much of the time, but an entire story line that only focuses on this adding in a sand grain size of real story outside of this. I use VidAngle, and it can only filter so much. I am also not a fan of young kids using profanity, and there is a lot of that here.

Excellent Woke Free Foreign Horror
No woke at all. This is a dark, bleak disturbing movie. Excellent acting, FX and atmosphere. One of the best horror movies in recent memory. I've seen some reviews calling this confusing and say it makes no sense. The beginning is a bit confusing as it drops you into the middle of an apocalypse of sorts. However if you pay attention literally everything
is explained along the way. If you like foreign films and don't mind subtitles this is a great film for horror fans.

Bros don't leave bros behind
Guy Ritchie's The Covenant is an epic story of heroism and reciprocal bro-heroism. It's not woke.
A review I had read said it isn't really a war movie, but it's very much a war movie, with intense squad level combat against the Taliban. Good thing I didn't watch it with my wife.
Given the title, I was expecting it to have a religious theme, but it did not. It could have used a little Mel Gibson direction, but it's a great movie.

Nicely skewers the beliefs of woke people about black culture
This was well written and well acted. Yes, it’s about the issues that black people face and one of the main characters is gay and those are both things that would score high on the studio’s DEI requirements. BUT, mostly the film makes fun of what woke white people think about black people and how such people actually make life harder for the people they claim to be allied to.
That’s a noble mission in my book! So ON BALANCE, not woke for me.

Bland, bleak and poorly written
Brought to you by the lame writers of the last two seasons of Game of Thrones, with a woke twist. The world top scientists talk to each other and their bosses with cussing in every second or third sentence. The two white male scientists are losers, cringy dialogues and unlikable characters. One good episode and a couple of interesting characters, the cop and Ye Wenjie. All the chinese period scenes were strong, probably because they were based on the novel. Skip this one for sure.

Much More Accurate Adaptation But Missing The Horror
As far as woke goes there is the unnecessary change to make the Matt Burke character a black gay man. Why? It's not in the book and is pointless. His race is never an issue in the movie and the actor was well known at the time so that's not as big an issue as making him gay. However the Burke character is supposed to have been the 8th grade teacher for the Mears character. Both actors are the same age so it makes no sense and also makes the casting choice questionable. This version is much more accurate to the book than the 1979 version. The problem with this one is some bad CG and the weird decision
to remove all the 'horror' scenes. This version is almost bloodless and virtually every effective scene of horror from the book gets cut completely or the scenes ends right when it should start. There's almost no vampire scenes either, everything happens offscreen. It's all buildup with almost no payoff. Such a shame as this could of been a great adaptation.

Horrifying
Nothing woke.
I don't know what I expected from a horror movie, but I was horrified. Horror movies are not my thing.
I read reviews afterwards to try to get the insight that the above reviewer got. I got a clarification about what one of the characters represents.
It's an artsy horror movie. The combination makes it a very hard watch, ultimately not enjoyable to me.

Turn the brightness up. Wait. Forget it.
This film is filmed at night. In the dark and I'm not talking about the DEI couple, their "hinted at" lesbian daughter and other nonsense. It's terrible. I wanted to get over the mixed race couple and everything else propaganda related, but I just can't. Let me say: There's absolutely zero reason for this movie to not have a full black family, full white family, Chinese, Indian, etc. End of story. The best part is, the white husband is like, "I got a gig to play" around 15 minutes in and he just disappears for the rest of the movie to leave us with the black matriarch solving crimes. At least the cinematography, ugh, lighting sucks so bad that it's hard to even know what's happening.
And Imaginary lives up to it's PG-13 rating. No real kills and mild drug use. I think I lost so much interest that I couldn't even tell what was imaginary and what was not.
