Straight-up popcorn movie

This isn’t woke and I went in ready to roll my eyes, thinking I was about to get smacked with a giant diversity lecture and a bunch of girlboss energy telling the male leads what to do. Yeah, there’s diversity in it, but it doesn’t feel forced. And to my surprise (a good one), it never turns into that. Sure, there are a couple moments where you’re like “STFU!” but it fits the story and doesn’t feel preachy.

Fun action flick, very 90s buddy-cop energy, Lethal Weapon vibes. It’s not top-tier or anything, but it gets the job done if you just want to switch off and kill some time.

Watchable series with an abrupt ending

The first year was a short season. I think that was from the writers' strike.

The second season was 23 episodes. It was the highest rated series on the network.

The third season went 10 episodes and ended. No cliffhanger, no resolution of story lines. Supposedly, the first two episodes had very bad ratings. There was some kind of extra episode published on the DVD set that resolved the outstanding plots. I haven't seen that.

The series had TV-level acting, directing and writing. I isn't outstanding, but it is entertaining. We enjoyed it and were annoyed by the abrupt end.

Wokeness: none. There's no agenda.

(possible spoilers)
Kyle wasn't born. He escaped a facility where he was genetically engineered. He's good-natured and kind with superhuman abilities learning to be human. Another one, Jessi, escaped later on. She's not so good-natured. She also had superhuman abilities, but without discretion. She could beat up (or kill) any man. I don't think that's woke. It's just part of the story. The series sort of morphed into a love-triangle between Kyle, the girl next door, and Jessi. It got a little over-the-top with the relationships in my opinion.

Worth watching? yes.

Must-see? not so much.

Tries to portray a violent criminal as a hero with a rightous purpose.

It has been years since I've seen this movie, but...

Transplant lists are larger than transplant supplies. It's a fact of life.

Younger patients are at the top of the list. There's more potential use of the organs.

Economic status is not a consideration for transplant committees.

This is all heartbreaking, but true. (You may want to update your Organ Donor Status.)

That said, the one line I remember in the movie: "You just tried to shoot an innocent man on live TV." or something to that effect. This was after a sniper took a shot at John Q. who was holding several people hostage. That's hardly innocent. He was using the threat of violence for his purpose.

The desperation is understandable by any parent. That doesn't justify the actions here.

The movie was hard for me to watch because the underlying agenda was overwhelming.

This is typical of modern late to the party sequels thought it's probably a little better than most. It manages to maintain the feel and atmosphere of the originals for the most part. All the usual tropes, cliché story, all the legacy characters show up for limited screen time looking old and just sad. Your enjoyment of this movie will probably heavily depend on your nostalgia of the originals, if you've never seen them then this will probably not be very good either. The director does a good job of capturing the feel of the franchise but it's painfully obvious he's in way over his head. It's another instance of an unproven nobody being handed a job he's unqualified for. This guy's sole directing credits are a handful of less shorts less than 5 minutes long then gets to direct a 150 million dollar action franchise movie? How does this happen?
Then there is the usual woke problems as well. Axel has a scene at the beginning that appears to make fun of the woke white liberal racists then 10 minutes later plays the police victimize blacks card. There are 2 ridiculous DEI female officers that are clearly there for a reason. There are multiple modern woke comments and mentalities scattered throughout. Axel's daughter hijacks a good portion of the movie and the constant whining about her dysfunctional family gets old fast and serves to just pad out film time. Her acting is not very good, she's not likable and she gets more annoying as the movie goes on. She is a defense attorney that takes on a case for an innocent Spanish male that she just believes immediately for no real reason and with zero evidence at that point. She is involved with a white male so we can check the mixed race box. There are multiple characters that appear to be gay or at least beta's based on speech and mannerisms. There is a very flamboyant obviously gay Spanish drug dealer in a weird gay bar with half naked
men walking around. At no point is any of this stuff the focus of the movie or is it preached about but it is present and it is there for a reason. This may be worth a watch depending on your tolerance for woke.

Pushes the free health care agenda

Surprisingly funny

A unique indie silent film, nothing like the usual, with a touch of classic film noir and some cartoony humor thrown in.

Great for all ages.

Absolutely nothing woke about it.

Instead of raising the bar, they somehow lowered it even more (if that’s even possible compared to the second movie, obviously).

Which brings me to the fans and defenders of this garbage who basically act like the second one never even existed 🤷🏻‍♂️ because not even they defend it. LOL. So there’s that, kind of incomprehensible, but totally in line with the movie’s level of writing.

It’s entertaining if you watch it just to have a good time with friends and treat it like one of those horror movies that are so bad they end up being funny.

⚠ SPOILER ALERT ⚠
Nothing is redeemable: the father-son dialogue happening during the initiation ritual, the obese zombies who can only afford to eat worms, the whole broken-family drama where, while the mom is dying of cancer, the husband cheats on her with the town’s schoolteacher, a mom who goes from bedridden to suddenly hiking with her son, the zombie’s dick that looks like Jason Momoa, an infected woman giving birth where we’re shown that women support each other no matter what and that a zombie apocalypse doesn’t matter at all. A Voldemort knockoff covered in iodine who collects bones and sees the mother as a nice skull to crown his masterpiece, a son who ends up climbing the pile of bones to place his mother’s skull on top (not before giving it a goodbye kiss) and a finale where the Power Rangers show up swinging nunchucks.
FOR GOD’S SAKE!!! WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST WATCH HAHAHAHAHA.

A parade of absurd nonsense

Pff. What a complete waste of time watching this movie.

Is it woke? Like I’ve read in other reviews, I think we need a different meter to measure how weird movies are. So I’m cranking up the “wokeness” score based on sheer weirdness.
In terms of awareness, yeah! Since it talks about the fashion world inside Hollywood, but in a twisted, openly masturbatory way.

I’m not going into more detail. If you want to watch a slow, surreal movie with bad acting and a terrible script, this one’s for you.

P.S. Another movie that, if I could rate it below 20%, I absolutely would.

Enjoyable despite some unnecessary gay stuff

Theres a woman who introduced another one as her partner and a reference about his friend liking men. Also a lot of forced diversity in every background frame (main characters are normal)

Good thing it got cancelled.

It started well. But there's TONS OF homosexual & unbearable amount of sex stuff. Yes, I'm aware it's an "Adult animation series," but the sex stuff is way too much. I left after watching up to episode 5.

Just a little above mid and weird ending.

It started well. Good thing the homosexual characters died. Yes, I know they didn't confirm their relationship. But judging by the guy's (who lived with Marcus and went shopping with him) hand gestures/body movement, he didn't feel like a normal "man" to me. Anyway, the ending was weird. When the witch died, everyone who was alive and under her control got free, except Alex's parents. They weren't dead (yes, they were badly injured, but not dead like the police and the homeless guy), but after the witch died when Alex was hugging them, they didn't respond. And according to the narrator, Alex got adopted by someone else.

Homo characters in episode 5.

It was going good until episode 5 (season 1), when they showed that Cate's a homo/lesbo, also the trans flag, and they didn't even leave the school stairs 😑. I wanted to go on, since the homo stuff was a flashback and I thought it was over or the other homo characters died (yes, I forwarded those homo parts), but just a few minutes later there was another flashback where Cate was sleeping together with another woman, naked. I left.
