Wasn't Like the Other Jurassic Worlds, Still Entertaining
This wasn't woke at all. Why are people calling it woke?
Dominion was a pretty good movie, it felt a little desultory and falling apart at times, but the ending reeled it back in. Some of the dialogue was a little clunky, kind of like they were just waiting around for the dinosaurs to attack them.
It was kind of unsatisfying though. It didn't deliver what you would expect from Jurassic world.

Diversity Hire Nun In An Average Horror Movie
Token sidekick black nun in 1950's France...sure. Of course she's the rebellious type. The character is only there for one reason and could of been completely written out and changed nothing. The acting is good, the atmosphere is creepy but it's just not very scary. It depends way to much on jump scares and loud noises than actual horror. It's not the worst but the original is much better.

Children of the Corn Meets The Purge
Small town 1963 middle America and the female lead is of course black and of course she's the white males love interest. She's also the typical brave smart female to the cowardly males. She also pulls the 'I'm oppressed' race card multiple times. You can of course guess who survives. Such a shame as this is actually a fairly well made movie with decent acting and FX. Some good kills and blood and gore but it would of been better to ramp up the horror aspect more. The creature design is good but it's not really scary or menacing. Still worth a one time watch if you can take the wokeness.

Very cool conceptual idea
I think that the concept of uploading your consciousness and possessing an impermanent body has really interesting implications not only societally but also as a method of storytelling.
I don't see any woke elements at all - in fact, because of the facts that consciousness is uploaded into a new body or "sleeve" - critical race theory (CRT) or "woke" is inherently undermined because every conscious being can experience being any race, any gender, or any myriad of human archetypes.
The idea is really cool but the execution could definitely use some help from better direction.

Minor Woke, Typical CW Quality
Some diversity casting. Villain is a white male while leader of the 'good' group is the typical 'badass' female. White male leads 'friend' is a black female setting up the obvious mixed race couple. Mediocre acting and fight sequences though the VFX are not too bad. Weak writing with plot holes and inconsistencies. Way to much unnecessary soapy relationship forced drama.

Old fashioned Coppola, no woke
A surveillance expert is driven mad by the implications of the conversation he has recorded. Since it's an old-fashioned Coppola (the original, not daddy's little girl) flick, there's no woke to be found.
No agenda casting, no feminazis, no politics, no LGBTPedos, no lectures.

Mild Woke, Not Really Horror
Established early that the female in the group is the smartest most capable best interrogator there is. Also some male bashing comments at the beginning as well. This is not really horror but a psychological look at PTSD the aftermath of war. Very slow and mostly just a group of people talking in a single room the entire movie. Acting is decent and FX are ok but the VFX are not so good. Also these people are way to old for the part. Supposedly they were in WWII and the movie takes place in 1945. All the actors are late 50's early 60's and the average soldier was 26 with the vast majority in there 20's to 30's. This should of been set 10-15 years later to make sense.

Woke casting, Network Quality
Based on the first 2 episodes only. Lots of diversity casting, rebel leader is the typical 'female badass" POC. Father makes lots of mistakes and son is a bit of an idiot while the mom is smart and the daughter is a genius. Otherwise some pretty bad acting and questionable FX even for 2011 standards. Story is very cliché and it's obvious a large part of it will focus on the usual stupid kids doing stupid things. No surprise this was cancelled after only 1 season.

Garbage, but not woke garbage
Nothing woke, but a complete piece of trash nonetheless. A bland and pointless remake with a sad pathetic knockoff version of Freddy Krueger.

Ignore the claims of “Gay Subtext”
I’ve watched this movie a number of times and still can’t understand the claims that Freddy Krueger was supposed to represent the main protagonist’s supposed “repressed homosexuality”. It’s a load of crap in my honest opinion.
People have debated for decades over this movie’s supposed “gayness” and both the writer and the director denied any such thing for years until more recently when everyone went woke and started worshipping and pandering to the LGBT community. The director still denies any gay subtext but the writer, after almost 40 years of denying it, now claims it was intentional. I don’t believe it. It sounds like virtue signaling for woke points.
The actor in the lead role is gay in real life and at times that may slip through, mostly in his screaming, but in terms of the character or movie in general there is nothing at all to suggest that the character was intended to be a closeted homosexual or much less that Freddy Krueger was meant to represent his supposed repressed homosexuality.
All that aside, pretty good movie. Not as good as the original, but nothing is.

A horror film with themes of ghetto vs rich class struggle without any overt racial or political agenda being pushed.
For some, just knowing that the hero of the film is a struggling black boy from the ghetto and the villains are crazed, rich, racist white people may lead them to believe that the film stinks of wokeness but I assure you it does not.
The villains of the film hurt EVERYBODY. White, black, male, female doesn’t matter. They represent the rich white elite who own all of the property and hold everyone else down. The kind of people who cheated their way into wealth and riches and look down on anyone who hasn’t done the same. The kind of people who in today’s world would advocate for social justice and forced racial integration in YOUR neighborhood but lock themselves away in a lily white gated community and never associate with any minorities. The kind of people who would call YOU a racist for supporting Donald Trump but refer to all blacks as “niggers” when they’re among their inner circle.
All in all, a pretty good movie. Far from Wes Craven’s best film, but a pretty crazy ride.

Not Really Woke, Just So Very Corny
So at the 1 hour mark I gave up but didn't notice anything really woke up to that point. Although there is a very heavily black cast it takes place in New Orleans which is majority black so wouldn't really call that woke. The acting is not very good. The writing and dialogue in particular are so corny and cheesy and none of the jokes are funny. Although it's PG-13 there are no scares and the whole thing is played as a slapstick comedy, it just doesn't work.
