No Woke. Mostly for Cage Fans
No Woke. This is a decent little indie thriller. Cage fans will enjoy it more but it's not a bad way to pass the time.

Starship Troopers + Aliens
This movie attempts to combine Starship Troopers and Aliens. I could also point to Star Trek, which has done variations of this story several times. The result is a devastating 3.6/10 on IMDB.
It's a B-movie with a tiny budget. Not sure why they thought this was a good idea, but I guess they were trying to cash in on the reputation of the first movie.
That said, it's not THAT bad. And I think it has aged fairly well. Without giving too much away, what I mean is that thanks to the Internet, the general population has learned about worms and fungi that can turn ants into "zombies". These "zombies" are under control of the parasites, which force them to propagate the species. Very vaguely, there is something a bit like that going on in the movie.
There is almost a lesbian scene, but it doesn't proceed past seductive flirting. Later, we learn the reason for it. (It was not sincere attraction.)
There's one token black soldier in the background in one scene, so no forced diversity.
One of the male leaders is a total weasel (maybe copying Aliens again) and the other is not much better, but there is a Rambo type hero to balance. Women are mostly strong, but pale in comparison to "Rambo". These are veterans of a long campaign against the bugs, and nothing seems forced there.
If you want to watch it, go for it. With low expectations, you may enjoy it. I have to give it a below average rating, though, so 2/5.

Watchable Woke Free Movie With Some Questionable Writing.
No woke here. Acting, editing and FX are all good. No a bad heist movie really. Some of the now typical bad writing hampers is a bit though. I mean this group of ex military plan this heist to perfection yet somehow don't have suppressors? Then as soon as they find the money they all just suddenly go brain dead and make every stupid bad decision possible. The writing however doesn't ruin the movie and it is still worth a watch.

Tuned down wokeness, but forgettable albeit colourful bubblepop movie.
I wasn't into boy bands at the time, which is the theme of this installment of Trolls.
Come to think of it, the moniker is half right: they were not bands, just a group of singers/dancers, but they definitely were boy, not man, archetypes.
Also, stupid, as most bands were, and still are, boy bands. Meaning, 95% lads. But I digress.
Script written by AI, with incorrect number of fingers. Tries hard to be less woke, because wants to make money. 2010s level of woke, so, still barely sufferable.
Has Schumer (less disgusting absent the flesh and liberty to speak her own opinions), boss babes (relegated to secondary female and villainess), gender-dubious characters (but not expressly gender-bent), inept male power figures (but male heroes, albeit explicit left-leaning).
So, yeah, milquetoast. Concessions. Will be criticized by some for not going far enough, by normal people for being ideological drivel, and by all for being a tepid show at best.

Jungle heist?
Tactical jungle heist movie? Is that a thing?
I found it actually not bad, with a decent pacing, and at least realistic (for a movie).
One bill is around 1 g, so, even using $100 bills, one million is around 10 kg. One can't simply move around hundreds of millions because of the sheer weight of the loot. Most Hollywood heist movies could stand to learn that a sports bag full of gold bars is bound to run upwards of 300 kg ...
Being (somewhat) realistic, it's basically not woke because, hey, wokeness is denial of the real world.

Somewhat uninteresting, but haven't played the games
Not a bad movie overall, but one can feel the script writers to rein in disparate pieces of lore into a coherent, accessible whole.
Presumably, I haven't played the games.
No woke bullshite that I've seen, just people being normal as it gets given the genre.
Willy's Wonderland was correct in not taking itself seriously, this one could use some more neon lighting.

Arthouse Anti-Masculinity Trash
The whole point of the movie seems to be masculinity bad. Terrible acting terrible editing, terrible lighting. Just random scenes thrown together into one incohesive load of garbage.

Twisted
Artsy, quirky, twisted films like this were more common in the 80's and 90's. Thoroughbreds is similar to American Beauty, if the focus had been on the troubled teens instead of the gay, pedophile father. (See what I did there?) This film has quite a different feel to it, though, and the few comedic moments are delivered very dryly. Plus, fortunately, there is no gay or pedophile stuff.
One advantage of a film where all the main characters are psycho is that there is no place to put forced diversity hires. I saw nothing woke. The two main male characters are rather despicable, but that's also true of the two main female characters.
Acting was superb. Cinematography and pacing was on point. However, it won't be everyone's cup of tea, because it is twisted and disturbing. Even I didn't really find it enjoyable, exactly, but I'll give it a 3.5/5 and round up to 4/5 for no wokeness.

No woke, just misery
A bunch of old army buddies get together to put on a heist at a South American coke lord’s jungle hangout. Despite it being an Affleck / Karen Bigelow flick, it’s not woke.
No feminazis, no lectures, no lgbtpedo, a dash of diversity casting but not enough to ruin the film, and it has no bearing on the story itself. Woke free.

If Rotten Tomatoes likes it, avoid at all costs.
What should have been a nice war story (is that an oxymoron?) is taken over by a modern SJW feminazi wife spouting “racism” and aggressive feminism everywhere, plenty of forced diversity (in frikkin Munich), and emasculated male characters. So much for a good old shoot-‘em-up war-is-bad flick.
Feminism? Yes. Woke dialogue? Yes. Forced (unrealistic) diversity casting? Yes.
The best way you know to avoid a film, is if Rotten Tomatoes rates it well.

Embarrassingly bad!
Mixed race couple apparently only so they could have a black kid in the movie the entire time. Smells of DEI hires. Comment about 'girls can do anything boys can". Mobsters boss appears to be a girl boss situation but honestly only made it 33 minutes in giving up. Some very capable actors in this yet somehow some of the worst acting I have ever seen. Action scenes are laughably bad.
