Gotta be a little woke to poke fun at everyone!

Best of it's genre. Love that it pokes fun at everyone. Irreverent, and it's a win just for that in this cancel heavy world.

First Season Awesome, next, not so much.

I wish they would have maintained the focus on Reacher, as in the first season, rather than expand it to his former team. The show is called "Reacher" for a reason. Some woke elements in later seasons.

Dear God, What Have They Done!

Won't even elaborate on what's happened in the past decade to this british gem.

First Season Only

Love this series so far. The blond daughter is vicious! I'm sure they'll introduce woke elements as the seasons progress. That's what happens in Hollywood, get popular, then they get woke. Sure hope not!

One of my Favorites

The casting was brilliant.

Great Series, poor ending.

Loved this series.

1st/2nd Season

Haven't watched past the first two seasons yet, but this is a gem of a comedy series. I loved the diversity training episode in the first season.

Not for me, but really great movie

After finishing the movie Love Birds, somehow I watched Bring Her Back with no intention of watching back-to-back Sally Hawkins films. I do like Sally Hawkins. She is awesome and does a top notch performance in this movie. Actually, it's well acted all around. Spooky and engaging story, despite being overtly mega-bloody at times with a little supernatural sprinkled in.

It seems the first film, "Talk To Me", which I didn't like because I know it was implausible and not very realistic- like, I'm kind of foggy on it, but I remember them wheeling a kid out of the hospital with no problems at all? And, the first film has an in-your-face transgender playing one part or another.

None of that in Bring Her Back. For me, I got a high cringe factor right in the middle of the film, feeling it was just a bit off. Andy was too trusting? Sally's character performs kind of amateur mind tricks on the kids? It just didn't resonate with me.

And the end, spoiler free, I didn't care for. The ending did, however, have one thing going for it: no ambiguity. Today, I think directors choose to leave endings ambiguous so as not to offend the young generation. How can you not like an ending if it's open to interpretation?

Bring Her Back is an excellent film. A little cringe for my taste and maybe a little too bloody. I wonder if it was CGI blood? Likely.

Fun, but "Super"-ficial Movie

Lot's of action, but no real development of characters. Misplaced humor. So much potential for drama that they skipped or minimized. Also, Superman was portrayed as pretty wimpy, and inconsistent (woke agenda). I came out of the theater with a positive experience. The dog and supergirl were a stupid addition.

Also forgot about the James Gunn immigrant reference. Also, was confused by the "tender" scene between superman and lois, in a dark room with a giant alien monster fight in the background...why?

WOKEcome to DEIrry

***THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!***

Well, OF COURSE!!! Make the black characters nice, smart and capable, and the white characters either dumb or evil! Make the males die and the women survive and become the main characters! Female empowerment! *facepalm* Make sure racism is clearly portrayed! Make the Jewish close-minded and evil too (this doesn’t bother me that much, to be honest, just made me roll my eyes)! Oh, oh, and show how disgusting meat eaters are! Oh, and of course, make a baby in the womb a fully evil thing and portray childbirth as something disgusting and evil too! Don’t even bother about making the product even 5 % scary, just follow the agenda, that’s all that matters.

Man, and I thought this would be great, especially since it wasn’t produced by Netflix. Boy, was I wrong!

EDIT:

Alright, I watched episode 2 and they should rename the show to “Welcome To Detroit: The Clam Bake”.

It’s just more of the same: racism, racism, racism! Black characters EVERYWHERE, black characters that are either sooo smart, fearless, capable, experts, heroines without capes, or just plain victims of the evil white man!! Wow, subtle! White characters are, of course, either cowards, racists, deceivers, plain annoying, or they just don’t give a damn.

Whenever you catch a break from all that, then it’s all about women, women, women! Women who are wise, women who speak up, women who get intimidated, women who got sexually abused by a man, women who (OF COURSE) died in childbirth—because, remember, childbirth is EVIL and abortion is the answer!

The intro is also lame, and there’s barely anything remotely scary or thrilling.

LGBTQ crap is the only thing surprisingly missing, and I assume it will be introduced (more like forced) very soon into the show. I am not gonna stick around to see it, though. I’m done with this shit.

This is a dark horror monster movie version of Bambi. All you really want from this type of movie is a silly fun monster movie. Basically evil corporation dumps toxic waste and mutates the forest creatures into monsters and they are out for revenge. There are 2 main groups here, the family and the hunters. Both groups somehow manage to have their very own token DEI black character. 1 female and 1 male just to get those perfect numbers. The female is of course the usual
aggressive loud nasty feminist type. That's pretty much it for woke. This is basically a slightly higher budget version of a SYFY channel creature feature. The acting is not very good but that to be expected. The CG creatures are a bit hit or miss. some scenes look decent and others really stick out as cheap and almost unfinished. The story is bare bones and does it really matter anyway. Unfortunately it plays it all a little too safe. The deaths are nothing special and some of the are shot so dark you
can't even hardly see anything. The blood and gore FX you get are decent but there's not enough of it for a what's meant to be monster splatter horror movie. It's all just a little too dull and honestly a little boring, even at only 80 minutes long. This would of done better to embrace the absurdity of the premise and go more campy over the top
instead of playing it straight. If you really like monster movies this may be worth a watch.

I was hoping for a decent little thriller here but nope. The acting is not very good but the scenery and cinematography is very well done.
The writing is again complete trash. We have Thompsons character who is in her mid 60's going out ice fishing in a blizzard alone, in a 2-wheel
drive truck, without snow chains. She's shown in flashbacks to have been doing this for many years so she would have known better. She stumbles
on a kidnapping couple and then gets stranded so decides to go spy and take them on by herself. She proceeds to write a message to the kidnapped girl on a window then rather than wipe it away just leaves it for the kidnapers to see. She is than able to drag her popup fishing house from her truck all the way out to the middle of the frozen lake, assemble it and cut a large hole into the ice in virtually no time at all. Her trap of course works perfectly. The problem is at this point there is no reason for her to expect them to come looking for her. As far as she knows they aren't even aware of her. Half the movie she is stumbling clumsily around and then she is somehow some sort of wilderness survival expert. The kidnapping duo consist of the typical girlboss type, angry aggressive yet smart and capable who is constantly yelling, hitting and belittling the male character. He is of course a complete idiot beta who can't do anything right. About 40 minutes was all I could take of this nonsense.
