Great first season story, looking forward to the second!
Starts off a pretty simple story of a man moving his family to a small town in WY. He has a crazy run in with a poacher and that begins his trail to uncover a bigger more involved plot going on in this town than he ever imagined. Great characters you care learn to care about and the scenery is incredible! Kind of makes me want to take a vacation up there someday.
No WOKE that I can remember or we would of probably not finished the first season. Can't wait for season 2!

Too much fantasy for a "based on a real person".
Watchable, but don't expect much reality on it, despite being the story of a real person. Also, this man said he was able to perform more than 70,000 exorcisms... that means he did an exorcism every 11 hours since his birth to his death.

It's exactly what it's supposed to be
In a Hollywood landscape where spectacle reigns supreme, the latest installment of the Fast and Furious franchise delivers on its brand promise: a thrilling rollercoaster ride that plunges us into a world beyond the reach of reality, just as we recline with a bucket of popcorn and disengage from the mundane constraints of our everyday existence.
The introduction of Jason Momoa in an antagonistic role initially stirred ambivalence in me, a testament to his familiar portrayal of more heroic characters. His performance, while not exactly masterful, nonetheless takes an intriguing trajectory on screen. Momoa manages to convey the erratic nuances of a true psychopath, sufficiently contributing to the film's ensemble cast. Over time, I found myself appreciating his character's evolution, which was a decent portrayal, albeit not extraordinary.
Staying true to its franchise roots, the movie embodies a whirlwind of high-octane action, convoluted plot turns, and a pace that leaves you barely catching your breath. It's a testament to the franchise's unwavering commitment to keep its audience on the edge of their seats.
Regarding the perception of 'wokeness', it is critical to draw the line between genuine attempts at inclusivity and the mere stretching of our disbelief for the sake of entertainment. The movie unabashedly embraces the latter. For instance, the spectacle of a lightweight female protagonist overcoming multiple male adversaries with brute force is a trope that predates the current discussions around representation and diversity. Think Elektra, Ultraviolet, and The Fifth Element; these movies weren't making a socio-political statement - they were capitalizing on the sheer exhilaration of seeing the improbable. It's a feature that has been ingrained in Hollywood long before the discourse of wokeness, and Fast and Furious, with its flamboyantly exaggerated reality, is an ardent subscriber to this tradition.
I posit that the filmmakers were not consciously propelling a female-centric or feminist agenda in this narrative. Even if such an undercurrent existed, it never infringed upon or compromised the film's palpable masculinity. The Fast and Furious franchise has perpetually reveled in its flamboyance, distancing itself from the boundaries of plausible reality. This deliberate deviation from the conventional, far from undermining the quintessence of masculinity, serves to amplify it, orchestrating a cinematic spectacle that, while perhaps not vying for accolades, provides an undeniable sense of enjoyment for its audience.
The appearance of Brie Larson was a bit of a jarring note in the symphony, though I suspect her minor role is an introductory platform for more substantial involvement in the impending trilogy.
In summary, the film lives up to the Fast and Furious identity: action-soaked, exuberantly-paced, and a feast for the imagination of those who appreciate cinema as an escape from reality. It's not a film for the critical eye seeking meticulous authenticity; it's an adrenaline-filled joyride for those ready to throw reality out the window and get lost in the sheer spectacle of it all.

Okay film. Minimal woke.
I enjoyed the film, but wouldn’t call it a must watch except minimal wokeness. Like the other reviewers there is over representation of certain groups, but at least it isn’t an in your face white hate type of thing and a white person was not denied a lead role. Film was enjoyable and fun, and would recommend a watch, but no a can’t miss type of film.

Fun enough action flick
Not an earth shattering movie by any stretch, Doom doesn’t take itself too seriously and can be enjoyed without much thought. Your standard sci fi action film from the pre-woke era.

A bit slow and anti climactic, but not horrible
No wokeness. Just a slow burn that never quite catches fire. Worth watching if you’re desperate for a non-woke couple of hours of content to watch that isn’t completely bad.

Not sure if woke, good watch
Did not notice any woke elements. Other than the overrepresentation of a diverse cast, it was funny and entertaining.

The greatest trilogy of all time
I was 8 years old when I first saw this film and my life changed. Ever since then, I have been obsessed with Tolkien's works and these films. Sometimes, a super rare event happens where all the stars align and pure excellence is crafted making it feel like it came from above. Such events happened for these films where technology was good enough to build something that is timeless, the actors seemingly being destined to play their parts, and the lack of political sewerage spewing across culture to corrupt the writing process.
There will never be a trilogy so great again as to match these films and every day I count myself lucky I get to sit down and enjoy this masterpiece time and time again.
I particularly like The Fellowship of the Ring as it sets Tolkien's world perfectly making you feel nostalgic for a place you have never physically been to. The fact you can get a degree in Tolkien's works shows how rich this world is.

Surprisingly refreshing film considering Disney's descent into oblivion
Disney have been putting out some awful shows and films recently, but one for me that bucked that trend was this movie. I found it refreshing to explore a superhero that traverses across West to East as I enjoy the juxtaposition of those two cultures.
Katy's character is pretty good considering the actress can be very annoying in real life. I can't help but wonder a girl-best friend is to give some female representation, but that doesn't really bother me as she's not automatically a badass for no reason like some newer films treat female characters, so no complaints there. The most woke element is the 1-dimensional sister character who's girl-bossed her own way to the top of her empire on her own with no man helping her. Her character is unlikeable and seems uptight and as a viewer, I don't particularly care about her.
The woke elements are easy to overlook in this film making it mildly woke for me.
