Not woke irregardless of what you think

LOL funny moments

Old School Non Woke Action Movie

No woke that I noticed. Great action scenes, very good acting all around. This feels like a visceral brutal action movie from the 90's. Very fast paced and entertaining.

This movie shifts gears

Angel likes a diverse cast, but does not come across as DIE.

Bigoted, intolerant, non-inclusive: Woke

Funny, even the Trump jokes.

Not As Good As The First One But Still Entertaining

So woke is a way over the top DEI casting in the main characters as well as the background characters. You wont see many white people in this. One of the kids announcing he's gay and all of them saying they know and don't care is completely pointless and only there for one reason. The movie itself is pretty well done. The acting is generally pretty good and the VFX are better than most modern superheroes movies right now. It does get a little cheesy and cringe with some of the dialogue in parts but not enough that it ruined the movie. If you enjoyed the first one I would say this is worth a watch.

Fantastic Cinematography

This movie blew me away. Every movie in the series is great but this one is particularly well shot. Highly recommend.

Super Woke

Main character is a girl boss that is essentially invincible and smarter than everyone else for no reason. Lots of diverse and bad casting. Skip this one.

Slow, dull, woke, and pointless.

The movie was essentially a BLM + welfare state propaganda piece with no discernible plot.

A decent but derivative sci fi movie.

It’s not the best movie, it’s not the worst movie, but if you’ve got nothing to watch and you enjoy sci fi movies, you might enjoy this. I don’t get the ‘wokeness score’ on this one. There wasn’t any overt wokeness.

A surprise. with a bit of cringe, but overall a good movie

I'll admit, it was scary coming into this film as it looked like it would be a kind of a really politically correct, check the boxes in a relationship and woman power kind of movie, but it's just a fun RomCom, underdog succeeds kind of happy type of movie.

Admittedly, there's a few cringy scenes with Anna and William fighting and whatnot, so I did skip a few 30-second blocks. Doesn't matter, I fast-skip RomComs all the time.

Let's start with the white dude screaming: "money! money! money!". Lampman is a sexy cop chasing down Jason "The Beekeeper" Statham. Good thing she's the most intelligent black woman on the case, ever. Her and all the lacky white FBI (CIA? Who cares?) dudes-- about as smart as a tomato those whites, and, of course, all the blacks and women heading up the FBI, CIA, presidency and I'd say, the universal council of the universe will crack the case. It's just so transparent DEI that it makes me want to puke.

Thank God Statham kicks ass or this would be a complete waste. Not that it isn't a waste.

A little hard to watch but, worth it

The director seems to like the scene were there's a lot of emotion and everybody involved is trying to talk over everyone else. That happens at least 3 or 4 times every episode. that's why it's hard to watch. Building tension to the point of stressing the viewer is the norm. Other than that, the story unfolds a little too slow sometimes. The acting is tops. Every character is realistic and believable. The long story threads through the episodes with pleasant diversions into the individual characters with everything coming back together at just the right time. The language is continual f-bomb and violation of the Third Commandment. I'm expecting cooking schools to experience the kind of surge that the chess clubs got after Queen's Gambit. The culinary aspects appear to be genuine and interesting. I learned how to make a better omelet. I didn't expect a story about a Chicago restaurant to be this entertaining. SEASON TWO EDIT; About that slow story line, they found a lower gear. The entire season was one big buildup of tension that was never resolved. After a few episodes, the tension wasn't even building anymore. It was just held in anticipation of the big reveal that never came. I'll probably watch season 3 when it releases but not with the anticipation I had for starting season 2. I hope it gets back on track quickly.
