Wokeness Galore
You can barley get through one scene in this film without it having something to say about Feminism or Emily Blunts characters 'pants', and that is not exaggeration.
Jacks character in this film is the comic relief, but they make him so obnoxious and posh he's almost unlikeable, and then they give him back story to drive home that he's gay, which has nothing to do with the overall story and you've already assumed this, but this movie is so WOKE they gotta drive it home.
This could of been a good movie, it has all the tropes that made 'The Mummy' a fun adventure film, but this kills all of them with its absolutely over the top wokeness.

Didn't Finish - Too Woke for me
The girl in this is completely unbelievable. She's borderline a 'Mary-Sue' character. I'm suppose to believe this 80lb girl and her dog are gonna do something Arny and bunch of soldiers could barley do!?
I really wanted to give this movie a try but I just couldn't even get 20mins in, I turned it off at dialog; Mom: "Why do you want to hunt" - Girl: "Because you all think I can't" and just how this lead comes off at all times, I felt it unbelievable for the time period.
There's a Medieval Fan made Film that does a better job with the Predator during a time with no guns than this. Go watch that instead.

Interesting concept
The movie is set in the near future, where everyone lives in trailers, because they mostly value their statuses in a virtual reality world/game. So the movie has both "real" parts and virtual reality parts, with lots of interactions between the two.
There is diversity in the supporting characters, but fairly in line with the US population. The two lead characters are white and hetero, and a romance sparks between them. So it's not woke.
The plot is a bit childish, with an almost fairy tale storyline and comical super-villains. However, it's also relatively complex for such a film.
My main complaint is the length. 2 hours 20 minutes is more time than I want to spend in such a childish story, even if it is an interesting concept.

Tragic and Comedic with Universal themes
As long as you know going in that the chosen one, the slayer, is going to always be a young female cursed (or blessed) with super human powers to hunt the supernatural monsters of the world then know this show is otherwise completely devoid of wokeness. It's awake but never woke.
If you can accept this premise and make it through it's short lukewarm 1st season you will be blessed with one of the best ever written shows on television. It combines the comedic and the tragic with real heart and nearly every episode becomes metaphoric to real life. The characters are keenly drawn with chemistry to spare and has consistantly snappy dialogue. You'll feel you know these people.
The later seasons from s4 on are edgier, darker and more adult and I, as an adult, preferred these although some prefer the earlier more lighthearted s 1-3.
Also later in the series one of the main characters does come out as gay. This is the alarm, I guess, for some people. But it's so subtle in its handling that it feels more natural then current media plays it....So what? Life goes on, right?. There's monsters to kill in this world and it's not us

How Was This in Theaters
No woke because there is nothing here. Looking at poorly lit out of focus out of frame random interior home shots for 100 min. That's it. Take out your phone camera, turn your lights off and walk around randomly shooting 10-30 second shots of anything from any angle and BOOM. You just remade this 'movie'.

Mystic meh
There is a near-incest scene. That was a weird scene. Woke or just weird?
The rest of the movie is filled with mystical madness. The TV series Vikings did some of this, but here the mysticism is central, and it was an overdose for me.
I think the director was going for a Greek tragedy, Viking style. The near-incest scene might even have been a Greek tragedy reference. Overall, I didn't find it enjoyable.

Not Great but Watchable. No Woke.
No woke here. Not a great movie but definitely watchable. Prequel follows the Jud Crandall character from the book and 1989 original and 2019 remake. Good acting and FX with some creepy moments. A little slow at the start but worth seeing if you like the franchise.

Worst One Yet
Not really woke other than the forced female characters. This is even worse than the 3rd one. The acting is mostly good with some exceptions. The real problem is there really isn't that much action and what is there is really cheap looking CG and obvious green screen. Fight choreography is also not good. Tony Jaa and Iko Uwais are completely wasted here. Once again we have an unproven director who made the horrible Need for Speed and Hidden Strike movies gets handed a 100 million dollar budget and a franchise movie and the results speak for themselves.

Ahead of its time
DIE casting are relegated to token characters.
"Would you initial here sir?
Thank you, and it’s Ma’am."
"Some foreign exchange students are sitting at our table.
Deport them."
"Well, I’ve been here two hours and Mrs. Hartle woke up just long enough to tell me why foreigners are ruining this country and then she went back to sleep."
Based show.

Typically Woke
Mixed race couple, lesbian best friend. Single mom raising 3 kids with a useless out of work drunk uncle. The daughter is the smart one while the 2 boys are dumb thugs. Bad acting, bad dialog, bad script, no scares, don't bother.

Kids who grew up on this aren't transgender today.
Ah, "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," a masterpiece that crowns the saga with an unparalleled blend of heroism, friendship, and the relentless pursuit of justice. As Aragorn, I find myself compelled to share my fervent admiration for this cinematic gem, not merely as a part of the trilogy, but as a singular epic that stands tall in the vast landscape of Hollywood.
Firstly, let me tell you, this film is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of Peter Jackson. His dedication to capturing the essence of J.R.R. Tolkien's world is nothing short of awe-inspiring. The attention to detail in every frame, from the rugged landscapes of Middle-earth to the intricacies of Gollum's tortured soul, reflects a level of commitment that elevates this movie beyond the standard Hollywood fare.
The performances, my friends, are like the forging of Narsil itself – strong, poignant, and filled with a profound understanding of the characters. Viggo Mortensen's portrayal of Aragorn is not just acting; it's a manifestation of the spirit of a king reclaiming his throne. The emotional depth he brings to the role connects us to the heart of the narrative in a way few actors could achieve.
What truly sets "The Return of the King" apart is its ability to balance the grandeur of epic battles with the intimate struggles of its characters. The Battle of the Pelennor Fields is a symphony of chaos and heroism, a visual feast that rivals any spectacle Hollywood has conjured. Yet, amidst the thundering hooves and clashing swords, the film never loses sight of the personal journeys that define its protagonists.
And now, let me address the essence and magic that permeates this film. It's not just about the quest for power or the triumph of good over evil. No, my friends, it's about the indomitable spirit of fellowship, the unbreakable bonds forged in the fires of adversity. This movie captures the very soul of Tolkien's work – the enduring belief in the strength of the human spirit, even in the darkest of times.
As a super fan of J.R.R. Tolkien's intricate lore, I appreciate how the film pays homage to the richness of the source material. From the lore of the Silmarils to the symbolism of the White Tree, every nuance is a love letter to Tolkien's world-building genius. And Peter Jackson, as the maestro orchestrating this symphony, deserves every accolade for translating that vision onto the screen with such reverence.
Now, on the topic of being an anti-woke believer, let me assure you that the magic of Middle-earth lies in its timeless themes, untouched by the fleeting trends of contemporary ideology. It's about honor, sacrifice, and the triumph of good over evil – principles that transcend the confines of any narrow-minded agenda. In Middle-earth, we find a refuge from the divisive currents of our time, embracing a narrative that unites rather than divides.
In conclusion, "The Return of the King" is not just a movie; it's a cultural icon, a beacon of storytelling excellence that stands tall amidst the often formulaic productions of Hollywood. With its profound impact on the lives of fans worldwide, this film secures its place in the annals of cinematic history, a timeless testament to the enduring power of myth and the triumph of the human spirit.
