Waited 23 years for a disappointing rehash
LOVE the first movie, but this didn't do it for me. No woke elements to cry fowl (haha) about, and the stop-motion is well-done, but the story feels like the same stuff the first movie did. Kids will love it though.

No Woke But Very Odd
No woke here. This is not a very good movie though. The acting if fine but the story is not well thought out. There is almost no dialog in this. The idea is a revenge film after the father's son is killed in a drive by and he is shot in the throat losing his voice. The problem though is nobody has any dialog. It makes sense for the father but everyone else just stands around not talking for no reason. It's just silly and awkward. If you wanted to do a silent film then maybe make him deaf as well. This should have been a high energy mostly action film to make the lack of dialog make more sense but other than the opening scene there is no action until an hour in. Up to that point it's more of a drama and it really makes the silent characters everywhere seem very odd. The action when there is any is kind of dull and unimpressive. Surprising for a John Woo film but it never really feels like one of his movies. It's not horrible but don't expect a John Woo action film because your not getting it.

Climate change, climate change, climate change
97-year old David Attenborough has not slowed in his campaign to make you feel guilty for climate change. It's constant in this series. That is woke.
More generally, I do wish Man would coexist less harmfully with the other inhabitants of planet Earth; however, at present the US government is incapable of anything except grift. Other governments are not much better. And rebranded global warming, real or not, manmade or not, is being used by governments to grift. Unfortunately, Sir David Attenborough IS government, between his knightly status, royal society positions, and past management roles in the UK's ministry of propaganda and pedophilia: the BBC.
It's obvious that a shit ton of British taxpayer money went into this show, so it is admittedly beautiful and educational. Just don't let Attenborough's hypnotic voice make you go full Greta. Never go full Greta.

Good war story ruined with wokeness
Excess focus on homosexuality throughout film. Ruins what would otherwise be a good war story.

Tribal
The Last Warrior (aka The Scythian or Skif) is a Russian movie that is not at all enjoyable when dubbed into English. It might be okay with subtitles. However, basically the movie is one long combat similar to Chinese martial arts movies.

Good Representation of the Mansion..
..but a horrible story. Even with better acting, this plot was doomed. I liked Eddie Murphy’s better, if only slightly. Missing Jennifer Tilly as Leota as well. This is a missable flick. Not because it’s woke, only because it’s terrible. I only recommend this if you want to see a nice Mansion. Don’t invest the entire 2+ hours though.

Dull, Boring, And In Its Own Way Woke
As others have stated the only actual woke in the film is some female racers when there were none. However, the premise of the film is that this kid is some sort of racing genius and the game makers came up with the idea of the academy and sent out select invitations to a very few and this kid won and was the first ever gamer to become a real racer. None of that is true. Everyone knew about the academy and anyone could enter and try to win a spot. Jann wasn't even the first one to win, or the second, but the third. The first and second were both very white looking males. One from Spain and one From France. In fact Lucas Ordóñez who was the first one to do it placed 2nd at Le Mans. He did it first and placed higher. Plus Jann's career as a pro is unimpressive and mediocre at best. It's not like he went on to be some incredible racer. So while the contents of the film itself aren't woke the fact that the movie was made the way it was with Jann instead of the actual first person to do it is absolutely woke! The film itself is rather poor. The acting is generally not great with the actor playing Jann and his friends in particular being pretty bad. The dialogue is not good the race scenes are boring and the writing in general is just poor. There is no flow or natural progression to anything, it all just happens. The way some of the things are portrayed are so unbelievable they just can't possibly be accurate. If you really like Gran Turismo or just like racing you may enjoy it. Personally I was bored the entire bloated 2 plus hours runtime.

Ok film, not really woke
I enjoyed the premise/concept. An attempted colonization of an alien world goes awry for early settlers because men's thoughts are able to be seen/heard to everyone around them. Which does not affect the women.
It's an interesting dynamic to see played out in the sci fi genre. What can happen when extremism takes over and goes too far. I thought that Daisy and Tom gave good performances in this.. I wish they had developed the whole alien relationship more? There is this species on the planet with the settlers that is blamed for a genocide, but then they are not really mentioned or interacted much with beyond a single encounter.
Aside from some potential feminist undertones, I could not really detect any hints of wokeness in this film. Daisy's character comes out as the typical over qualified female character who "don't need no man" to rescue her and bring her through the challenges they encounter.

Super
This award-winning independent film is wonderfully non-woke and entertaining. Thanks, Kurt, your review made me check it out.
The cast is almost entirely men, almost all White with some Asians. This is the story of a tech startup company in Canada, after all, and it was before Canada went into immigration overdrive. It's refreshing to see a movie try to be realistic in the casting. No black Queen of England here. The company in the film did hire a female secretary, though, and then all the nerds gawked at her, LOL.

Stunning Rollercoaster Ride
Phoenix did not appear topless in the “volleyball” scene. Equality? I think not. ;o)
Solid movie all around. I’m sorry I waited this long to see it. Zero woke. Fun callbacks to the original. Decent story. Worth wasting your 2 hours and 5 minutes of life.

Know your history
Apparently the reviewer “Bonbon” doesn’t know about history.. this film is supposed to reflect Elvis’s life in sequence.. the film shows Elvis as a boy who finds a black church and is drawn to the singing and becomes “consumed” by it. If Bonbon wasn’t just a racist, he would know in interviews Elvis specifically details discovering the black church and how it contributed to his love for singing.. he was also raised in black neighborhood and maintained his early friendship with his black friends. Yes there is race involved, but in the 1960s Deep South.. racial tensions were a very real thing. Know the difference between something being woke and historical… The wokeness of racism in film comes about when filmmakers manufacture it where it doesn’t exist, or help move the narrative forward. Elvis was in trouble with the law due to his use of, what was referred to as, “negro rhythms” and grew up in black projects and has said it heavily influenced him..

Actually Fairly Good
Woke consists of a large amount of background and secondary characters being black. If you don't mind the animation (i kind of liked it) this is actually a pretty good batman themed Christmas movie. Voice acting is good, the story is good. Surprised I enjoyed this as much as I did. Worth a watch.
