Started Somewhat Ok, Then Went Full Woke Trash
Huge amount of DEI. Modern Feminism. Weak males. Mixed race couples. Multiple gender and race swapped characters from source material. All changed from white males of course. By season 4 pretty much everyone is gay and hooking up with everyone else.
The acting isn't terrible for what it is. The first season is the best with the second watchable and the third not very good. After 3 it was cancelled and picked up by Netflix for season 4-6. While woke is always present
season 4 on is where it went through the roof. Police are bad. One episode in season 4 is devoted to terrorist BLM police racist
propaganda. While always having humor the later seasons really just turn into a back and forth between sappy soap opera relationship
nonsense with everyone whining and crying, and terrible unfunny comedy. There's also very little actual over arching story through out,
the series with some of similar storylines just keep repeating. What started out as an interesting supernatural show turns into a pathetic
soap with all the males whining and crying about women that have no interest in them. It's like they went for the sad bored housewives demo.
Even more proof is Lucifer is pretty much half naked at some point in almost every episode in season 4.

Woke in Space
A testament to how bad the mental illness of wokeness has become in Sweden by 2018. The movie is very dystopian but the wokeness is unintentionally part of that.

Great Movie That Still Holds Up Today
Nothing woke. Great epic movie. Well acted and excellent cinematography. Top notch FX and action scenes. Great story. The only
real complaint is the use of the dropped frame slow motion. I hate that effect, it looks terrible and adds nothing to the action. Luckily it's not used too much so while annoying it's able to be ignored. Must watch part of cinematic history.

Growing up is tough, but a bit easier with Leo
Wokeness: none
This one really surprised me. Adam Sandler as Leo and Bill Burr as Squirtle are a great comedy duo and trust me, it never forgets it's a comedy. But the focus is on all the 5th graders and the various hurdles they encounter. There is also singing, but it never overstays it's welcome. Highly recommended for pre-teens and up.

BLM all over the second season
This is a real shame, because the show is a really fun ride, but just like everything that comes from the show business today, it's full of political BS. Into the third season, one of the daughters of the protagonist ask her mom what to do if she found "Trump with immigrants", something so off coming from an 11 years old girl. By the third season, there's a reference to "deprograming", from "a cult", specifically "Q-Anon". If you can get around the political BS, the show delivers.

Better Than Expected.
Only woke is DEI checkboxes in the casting. The original team was 3 men and 1 woman so that is correct. I'm not sure why they felt the need to leave his wife off the team other than to get another checkmark DEI POC in the casting. Well acted and cinematography. The core story is pretty accurate but there is the usual inclusion of a lot of scenes that never happened, and they are all pretty obvious. Also some unnecessary changes to the story that didn't need to be done. Still a good story overall and a well made movie worth watching in my opinion.

Fun Ryan Reynolds vehicle
Let's be honest, Reynolds carries the whole movie here. Main role, credited among producers, and a firm named "Maximum Effort" involved in production.
The other actors are quite adequate, they just don't outshine the star.
Waititi is quite good as a villain: he's callous, arrogant and loud-mouthed. Oh wait, he's not acting.
The inclusion of real-world internet celebrities was maybe not the best move, as they don't translate so well to the big screen. Then again, what do I know, especially about them?
It's fun, it's colourful, it's well-paced, and it's very Reynolds-y. Sort of goody-two-shoes Deadpool.
I did tick the woke elements box, as the movie does tick some woke talking points, mostly as throw-away lines, probably intended to throw the mentally-challenged a few bones while not irking normal people.
The movie itself clearly does not toe the party line; all the good guys are white, while the main antagonist and his de facto crony are both they/thems of colour.
Not that I care, but it will probably ruffle feathers among the 81 millions. Those in actual current existence, that is.

Very loosely based on the comics
This movie recycles the name and some of the visual trappings of the original, but certainly not the tone.
It does have a charm and a consistency of its own, though, and make for decent entertainment, despite a weaker third act.
Comedy is good, acting is decent, although Rupert Everett was a superior (in all but name) Dylan in Dellamorte dellamore.

Decent actors in unambitious sci-fi
does not make a good movie.
Action scenes are so-so, script is highly predictable, photography lacks tonal direction or unity. Except for most people being beautiful. Old-times Hollywood.
1995 MTV culture is the root of woke. White male characters are all shades of weak, although in charge and dictatorial. The heroic resistance looks like a Benetton ad.
Nothing explicitely said, though. Such were the times.

No Woke. Great Fun Movie
Nothing woke. Excellent movie with good acting, story and FX. The story progression makes sense, the writing is good and it keeps with the feeling of the original show. This is just a really fun movie. Here is how to do good female characters. They are actual capable characters without being nasty, aggressive Mary Sue's and the Male characters aren't watered down betas to make them look better. Several scenes where female characters fight back and defend themselves against a larger male opponent (that's right 1 not 5 or more at the same time). They use their size and speed to their advantage and use the environment around them to find a weapon to use to get the upper hand. One of the better new movies I've seen in a while.

Real history nuggets drowned in woke sludge
The time-lapse of the Battle of the Somme is nice.
The women pining white feathers on men (young or otherwise) to try and shame them into joining the senseless slaughter of WW1 is accurate. And excusable, considering how, at the time, women showed great courage and prowess, and themselves joined the armed forces by the billions. Sarcasm on my part, obviously.
The rest has all the accuracy of an English general quoting Patton in 1914. Yup, this happens, within the first half hour.
Good actors, expensive production, tepid result. Except maybe for Rasputin. Portrayed 1/3 drunken master, 2/3 sex-crazed maniac. And it does get better in the final third.
Also, Gemma Arterton, still alluring, well in her forties. But girlboss.
In every scene she's in, girlboss as far as the eye can see.

The curse of the try-hard sequel
Desperately tries to recapture the first installment's enthusiasm, but turns the cultural archetypes into a gimmick.
Can't resist a jab a "men keeping superior women down", and a US president on the right wing as portrayed by the left, ie: quite close to actual left-wing dictators, really.
Also, Pedro Pascal. Aside from his personal convictions (I use the word in the loosest sense), this man (again, loosest sense) keeps being cast for confident, manly characters, whereas his whole demeanour reeks of a need for approval. Very offputting.
Funny thing, Egerton has voiced a gorilla playing Elton John, has played with Elton John in this movie (not sure they have actually met or needed to during shooting, though), and moved on to play Elton John in the biopic.
At this point, he might want to try on oversized glasses.
