Start of a legend

First Blood brings us John Rambo when men were portrayed as the bad asses they are before the woke feminist nonsense. Vietnam vet who gets provoked by red necks and the game is on. Great start to the franchise.

The Penguin was spectacular!

Absolutely amazing performance by Colin Ferrell. The ride he put us on was nuts! Cristin Milioti also deserves some praise. She was a good number 2 but there is no doubt who the star of this series was.

Tom Cruise continues to smash it out of the park!

Great ending to the franchise. Tom Cruise was the star of the show as he should be. So glad he didn't cave to the woke feminist nonsense like James Bond did. I think Dead Reckoning Part One was better but this Dead Reckoning was still a lot of fun. Definitely worth the watch.

No woke, but kind of bland.

The dad was depicted as an overly-authoritative, bible-thumper. The wife, mother-in-law, and even his children showed him the error of his ways. I suppose you could give it a slight nudge on the woke-meter for that.
The story of Rickey Hill is interesting. He really was that good. If it wasn't for the illness, his rookie baseball card would be a keeper, and he'd be HOF.
It's true that he went 11 for 11 in his tryout. That's a 1,000 batting average. They missed the part where he climbed a fence to sneak into the scouting tryouts. They got a few other things right. He did marry his high-school sweetheart at home plate before a game. He also retired at age 22 because of the illness. He also never played in the Majors. Four seasons playing for Montreal's minor league teams was an accomplishment for someone with a spinal disease. I think the movie would've been better if it was closer to the real history. He was an example of persistence and dedication to succeeding.

The weekest of the trilogy and probably completely unneccesary sequel. The acting is fine but the jokes are now becoming recycled and stale with
more cringe eyerolling than funny. There is still some funny moments but far less the before and the situations that keep happening are getting less and less funny and more ridiculous. I'm giving it 1 woke star just because for some reason they decided to make all the male characters horndog libido chasing a-holes that can't control themselves but act like they did nothing wrong but none of the women act like that.

Again I don't remember anything woke. I personally thought this was better than the first. Great continuation of the storyline with the clash of cultures between paranoid ex-CIA and free love hippies. Lots of humor and fun to be had.

I don't remember anything woke. Pretty good film that holds up well. The acting and jokes are mostly good. It's the usual
comedy of errors and misconceptions around the nervous meet the in-laws storyline.

Main couple is mixed race. This could of been a decent turn your brain off action comedy but there are some big issues. The dialoge is awful
and the acting by Foxx and Diaz seems off. It could just be because they have no chemistry and are not believable as a couple whatsoever. The story is unoriginal and cliché. The action scenes are boring but at least Diaz looks like she trained for it. The biggest issue is the annoying irritating bratty kids. That was enough for me and I tuned out around 40 min. If you can get past the insufferable kids this is probably an ok watch in a turn your brain off kind of way.

Hilarious.

It's hilarious that I can just remember one percent of this movie. That is how forgettable it is. I know the first film in the series. It was quite good for what it was, but this movie? Can't recall. I do know that it was free of liberal nonsense, otherwise I'd have at least remembered that.

I either have dementia, ADHD (little late for Ritalin) or, like a previous comment says, I "watched it in 3 parts".

Girl Boss Kicks Ass (minor spoilers)

I enjoyed this film right up until the end. It didn't ruin the experience, but made me step back and say, "huh". Like, Better Call Sal is a badass dude that kicks the ass of anyone he wants. Right up until the Girl Boss and her ladies at the end. I'm all about ass-kicking women and not in a Russ Meyer kind of way, but it's so forced and outside the narrative of the rest of the movie that I can only say, "woke". The women give him a run for his money, but Sal wins in the end.

A lesbian couple that feels very forced is the only real woke I saw. The acting isn't as bad as I expected though there are a couple of
actors that are notably much worse than the rest. It's your typical backwoods slasher with the piglet name shoehorned in to try to pretend
it's something different. Everything about this feels very cheap and amateur, the camera angles and cuts are bad, the dialogue is bad, the kills
and FX are boring and look cheap. Best to avoid this one.

Fossil trail of 80s early woke

I watched the first few episodes out of nostalgia. Shouldn't have. It's meh.

The music, the cinematography, the pocket-change budget: yep, this is one of the long litany of Cannell shows that graced the 80s. Theme song to this one's really good, though.

What sets outs as a touchy-feely take on Superman turns out more nuanced than expected after living through one quarter of the 21st century.

The main characters are pretty on the nose: Katt's (whose name shall not be uttered due to an attempt on President Reagan's life) a frizzled blonde surfer dude special ed teacher, Culp's a 3-piece wearing, ex-mil FBI op. Guess who votes Republican.

And yet, Super non-threatening Male does defend G-man, mansplaining to his girlfriend that while they were drinking coffee, young G-man was down in the trenches defending their country.

Unexpectedly true and truly unexpected. The modern audience would want Culp to be pigeon-holed as the apex of toxic masculinity, and stupidity too. Instead, he's a bona fide badass, with many imperfections but undeniable grit. Then again, they would want the woman to wear the suit, which would then be perfect.
Instead, Selleca's character butts heads with Culp's, who's an outspoken derider of feminism. And she does not systematically come out on top, as taking bullets is mostly a meritocracy. And Katt's is a custodial divorced dad. Pure fiction.

By the way, Selleca is (well, was, probably) a very fine woman, but she's been rendered as bland a humanly possible (and then some); they manage to make her actually unattractive. Not ugly, just, well, barely there. Impressive feat. Feminism hating women's traditional image. Contrast with Charlie's Angels a few years earlier, which was pretty unapologetic. Or the Dukes of Hazzard. Or the Fall Guy. Or Riptide. Riptide never got the memo.

Crap, this show heralded the beginning of the end. It even ends with handing over the mantle to a woman. Precursor show. Not in a good way. 1 woke star because it's early and timid messaging diluted by 80s common sense.
