This is typical Statham and most of his movie are pretty much the same at this point. If you like them you will probably like this one as well if you can take the lazy nonsensical writing. Right at the start there is a storm that just comes out of nowhere magically. One minute there's nothing and the next there's a bad CG big storm. There is zero chance that small child is going to launch that boat and paddle back out in those waves. Then the much larger trawler instantly capsizes and sinks while Statham's tiny little dingy has absolutely no issues whatsoever. At least the action scenes are good though right? Well the first real action comes at about 40 minutes in and features one of the most inept hit squads ever put to film. Apparently they only employ the deaf and blind, diversity I guess.
The 'action' and fight scenes themselves are slow, dull and just generally boring. Then when one of them goes into the cabin and grabs the child he reports 'I have the girl'. What? She's just some random unrelated girl he saved from drowning that no one knows is there. Her presence should of been a complete surprise yet they appear to be looking for her. The child actor is pretty bad and at this point spends most of her screen time with a vacant deer in the headlights look. This includes one the dumbest movie tropes of a nail gun firing nails across a room like a gun independently of any air hookup. The absolutely ludicrous club scene was where I couldn't take it anymore. Statham fighting, shooting people and stabbing them in the neck with broken glass in the middle of dozens of people in a club and not one person notices or cares. After that garbage I don't care how it ends. All leaders and power positions are held by women including the prime minister and girlboss black female head of MI6. General DEI overrepresentation in casting.
This little girl saves Statham not once but multiple times.

"Ugly stepsister" has a manly voice and looks like a man with makeup & "other stuff." Gender-confused wolf?
Otherwise, nice comedy movie.

Shows some she-he cross dressers

I went into this knowing nothing about it or the Stephen King short story it's based on. I thought it was a straight forward cursed object horror movie and wasn't to impressed until well into it I realized it was a horror comedy. Knowing that suddenly makes the whole movie much better. There's nothing scary and all the very over the top gory kills are more funny and cartoonish than anything. The comedy works and it feels like a Final Destination movie with a heavy dose of dark humor. The acting is good notable the lead actor who plays 2 very different roles as twins. One weird thing is the first part is set in 1999 and I thought I saw it wrong and it was 1979. Never does it ever feel like it's in the 90's and when it jumps forward 25 years to 2024 it feels almost the same like
it's still the same time period. It's a bit strange but doesn't overall hurt the movie. The only thing woke is a couple of DEI casting choices and a group of DEI school girls bully the white male boy. It's very short scenes and barely warrants a woke rating, but it's there so it gets a 1.

Not sure why the woke ratings, it shows both good and bad white people

Hugh Jackman is more than just Wolverine.

Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson are amazing performers. Imitating Neil Diamond is quite an accomplishment. Hugh nailed it. Kate also did an impressive Patsy Cline.

The only wokeness I saw would be what looked like a drag queen in the background during a scene backstage. I expected more, but there was no agenda I could see.

This is a hard-hitting family drama with some great musical performances.

The sphinx's voice/characteristics are painful.
Season 1 Episode 5: Boys want to dress up as princesses. Dulcinea says, "Anyone who wants to be a princess can be a princess."
Season 3 Episode 11: It was revealed that in the "Merpeople" species, the "Mermen" carry the baby in their belly instead of the "Mermaid"! Hmmm, what must it refer to, I wonder!
Season 4 Episode 7: The Female Ogre looks very similar to the Male Ogre!
Season 6 Episode 7: According to 3 "female" characters (2 fats, one of them is a witch & one's a cow), a man being jealous about his female partner having another "crush" is bad, and he's "weak," "lack confidence", "threatened by competition", "insecure", & "pathetic" if he's jealous. Those females keep telling Dulcinea to live her life & see the world, when Dulcinea didn't want to leave San Lorenzo with Guy Fox initially. And they kept forcing Dulcinea to go with Guy Fox until he called Zapata a "round woman."

The male characters in this series are so incompetent. The "Muscular Mayor" is scared of everything except bees and paperworks, the mole king & Puss is very "self-involved", Artephius is an idiot but "accidentally intelligent" (for a reason), the mole king & his minions are dumb, Uli (german, ironic) turns out to be evil, the thieves are childishly weird...

Enjoyable story with great acting.

Sally Field is in the number one spot of my personal list of underrated actors. I consider Sybil to be her best role. That's what compelled me to watch what looked like an uninteresting movie. I was wrong about that. It captured my attention within minutes.

The wokeness is limited to an encounter with a homosexual man. It was a necessary part of the story, but there was no agenda. To explain that would be a spoiler.

The movie itself was well acted and directed. The story line got a little predictable, and possibly a bit forced. It is still an enjoyable movie.

A Finish horror comedy that desperatly wants to be the new Gremlins. The lead teens look like they are well into their 20's. Some truly terrible
acting. The creature FX both practical and CG look bad, the gore fx are ok but nothing special. It wants to be an 80's homage but it just doesn't
work. The humor and constant little 80's gags are more eye rolling than funny. I didn't see anything woke but I only made it to 30 minutes and
couldn't take it anymore.

This is what masculine movies look liked before feminist delusion nonsense poisoned Hollywood.

Troy is brilliant! It actually represents Homer's poem well and respects Greek history without inserting feminist or woke nonsense like simp Nolan did with the Odyssey. Cast is fantastic! Brad Pitt is great as Achilles. Eric Bana is good as Hector. Brian Cox kills it as Agamemnon. The chemistry with Brad Pitt and Rose Byrne is very believable. Cinematography and fight scenes done well. Music score is very good.
This is a badass movie depicting Homer's Illiad.

Predictable, but fun.

P.F. Kluge hated this movie. He's the author of the novel, Eddie and the Cruisers. He called it a talent-free embarrassment. I respectfully disagree. The acting by Michael Pare' was great. The rest, not so much. Like the first Eddie, the music of John Cafferty has a huge presence. The story is somewhat cheesy and predictable, but somehow, that still leaves a fun-to-watch movie about a troubled, thought to be dead, rock star who still desperately wants to accomplish something great. He meets up with an overly ambitious, talented guitar player who needs to learn that music is more than impressive playing. Now I'm feeling cheesy for describing it. Give it a watch and decide for yourself.

I would call this a cult classic

I'm a big fan of John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band. Their music has a huge presence in this movie. Michael Pare' hit it out of the park with the character acting. I think he's very underrated.

The main theme of the movie is "words and music." When it comes to rock and roll music, Eddie is the best. He meets up with a poet who can play piano, but can't sing. Together, they create something great. The story is told in flashback style. It's 18 years after Eddie's questionable death in 1964. They never found the body. Does Eddie still live? Who's trying to get ahold of the lost recordings? It's a fun story with great music. I have the movie (with the sequel) on BluRay and watch it every couple of years.
