Religion bad, atheism good -- once again

Every time I hope a documentary will give me an inside look at a different, interesting way of life, I get the usual, tired, "breaking away from" Amish/ Hassidim/ Mormonism/ whatever. Always with an assumption that religion is oppressive and evil and has nothing good to offer, so why tell us about it?
This was so disappointing, we had practically no information about the Hassidic way of life, only three people who had experienced unusually bad situations, the same sort of things, domestic abuse and molestation that can happen in any walk of life. They were part of the only 2 percent who want to leave the sect.
The counselor in the beginning exclaiming over the woman's number of children and saying "Where was your choice? You had no choice!" was such an obvious use of a trigger word, it was laughable.
We're led to think of the Hassidim as terrifying people keeping their members prisoner, even though "freedom" is just a few blocks away. These young people have left a secure world of warmth, community, tradition, and purpose for a world of drugs, violence, crime and prostitution, but the documentary is careful not to hint at any of that. The positive side of Hassidim was never shown and the secular life was a false promise. A fantasy in the guise of a documentary.

Part of the Chris Nee universe - Recommend to avoid
After seeing too many episodes of Ridley Jones, and getting it off our family screens early enough (we managed to avoid any serious woke damage) I became aware of, and wary of, the name, Chris Nee. My kids have been watching Spirit Rangers now for a lot of episodes, and caught one promoting indigenous 'treaty rights', hopelessly transparently. The next one I saw was all about 'cultural appropriation'. Ugh. Its perfectly possible to respect our indigenous fellow citizens, and respect legal agreements, but the subject of historical treaties is very complex, as is the whole subject of North American history and indigenous relations. This show is pretty woke and ideologically biased, and certainly trendy in all things that the New York Times would appreciate. Nuff said. Would not recommend.

Not really woke, Nice Korean Revenge Movie
So I wouldn't really call this woke. While the female lead is very small there are only a few scenes of her going hand to hand with larger male combatants. She mostly uses her environment and weapons so I don't see it as woke. This is a decent revenge film with good acting and some nice action. Nothing really exceptional but about what you would expect from this type of movie.

Better Than Expected
Woke consists of some DEI hires and a few woke lines. Nothing too bad. Movie itself is ok. Some funny moments though Devine gets to be a bit much after a while. It's also painful to watch the 70 year old Brosnan and Barkin physically overpowering large trained guards in body armor. It's worth a watch if you are looking to kill some time.

Everything woke turns to shit
Disney really couldn't resist. Interracial children couple, overwhelming DIE casting, every demographic, even what appears to be an androgyny elf, and race swapping characters from the previous 2 movies, black "multiverse" Santa, as well as a brown Santa that ruins Christmas.

A New Low For A Franchise Already Scrapping The Bottom
Woke consists of girl bosses, girl power and the laughably bad Jason Momoa anti-masculinity flamboyant character. Right at the beginning we have a small female character beating up a room full of trained full body armored men in hand to hand combat. As others have mentioned I'm not actually sure this is meant to be woke as the movie is so stupid, brain dead and cartoonish with reality this just fits right in with the rest of it. The acting is horrible the dialogue and attempts at humor terrible. The CG ranges from pretty good to looking like a bad xbox game. The action sequences are so stupid and gravity defying physics everyone in this would of been dead 100 times over already. Cars are completely crunched in and demolished in one scene then driving around like nothing happened in the very next cut. This is another one only for the low IQ gen Z crowd.

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.

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.
