Old School Non Woke Action Movie

No woke that I noticed. Great action scenes, very good acting all around. This feels like a visceral brutal action movie from the 90's. Very fast paced and entertaining.

This movie shifts gears

Angel likes a diverse cast, but does not come across as DIE.

Bigoted, intolerant, non-inclusive: Woke

Funny, even the Trump jokes.

Not As Good As The First One But Still Entertaining

So woke is a way over the top DEI casting in the main characters as well as the background characters. You wont see many white people in this. One of the kids announcing he's gay and all of them saying they know and don't care is completely pointless and only there for one reason. The movie itself is pretty well done. The acting is generally pretty good and the VFX are better than most modern superheroes movies right now. It does get a little cheesy and cringe with some of the dialogue in parts but not enough that it ruined the movie. If you enjoyed the first one I would say this is worth a watch.

Fantastic Cinematography

This movie blew me away. Every movie in the series is great but this one is particularly well shot. Highly recommend.

Super Woke

Main character is a girl boss that is essentially invincible and smarter than everyone else for no reason. Lots of diverse and bad casting. Skip this one.

Slow, dull, woke, and pointless.

The movie was essentially a BLM + welfare state propaganda piece with no discernible plot.

A decent but derivative sci fi movie.

It’s not the best movie, it’s not the worst movie, but if you’ve got nothing to watch and you enjoy sci fi movies, you might enjoy this. I don’t get the ‘wokeness score’ on this one. There wasn’t any overt wokeness.

Clumsy comedy

This film tries to be a 90's style romantic comedy, but the clumsy writing and direction result in cringe in place of jokes. And, despite the best efforts of the costume designer, Sidney Sweeney's breasts are insufficient as a floatation device to save this film from sinking like the Titanic.

Compounding the misery, I count 4 woke violations:

1. The film revolves around a lesbian wedding.
2. Sweeney's character lists her pronouns on a webform.
3. There are two interracial couples.
4. There is lesbian kissing, including in bed.

Is any of that so bad? Well, yes, the film's producers clearly have an agenda that they are pushing, and that is a problem. It is tiresome that so many films are like this, far out of proportion to reality.

A surprise. with a bit of cringe, but overall a good movie

I'll admit, it was scary coming into this film as it looked like it would be a kind of a really politically correct, check the boxes in a relationship and woman power kind of movie, but it's just a fun RomCom, underdog succeeds kind of happy type of movie.

Admittedly, there's a few cringy scenes with Anna and William fighting and whatnot, so I did skip a few 30-second blocks. Doesn't matter, I fast-skip RomComs all the time.

Let's start with the white dude screaming: "money! money! money!". Lampman is a sexy cop chasing down Jason "The Beekeeper" Statham. Good thing she's the most intelligent black woman on the case, ever. Her and all the lacky white FBI (CIA? Who cares?) dudes-- about as smart as a tomato those whites, and, of course, all the blacks and women heading up the FBI, CIA, presidency and I'd say, the universal council of the universe will crack the case. It's just so transparent DEI that it makes me want to puke.

Thank God Statham kicks ass or this would be a complete waste. Not that it isn't a waste.

Anti-woke chick flick

My wife is rebelling against my alien invasion / post-apocalyptic movies, so I threw her a bone with this chick flick. It's surprisingly entertaining even for me.

Amy Adams looks like a young Nicole Kidman, very beautiful. Her character is a 1940's "Instagram thot", whereas the frumpy lead is uber conservative. The thot is mostly punished for her harlotting ways. Some of the conservative woman's values rub off on the thot by the end, as she realizes the folly of her lifestyle. And the conservative woman gets a reward for living right. So, this is actually a nice anti-woke story.

If you are not British, you will probably want to put on subtitles. I normally don't have much of a problem with British accents, but they speak quickly and mumble in this film. The Kidman clone's character is American, but speaks with a Mid-Atlantic accent, which is a fake "movie star" accent that is halfway between American and British; American actresses learned this accent in the era that this film took place, a nice attention to detail.
