Standard ITV Woke

Contains spoilers

Female to male digs throughout.
Men apologise for what they shouldn’t, women don’t apologise for what they should.
Pathetic males. Lead women are not strong, they’re ‘boss babes’.
Who pieced it all together? The disabled, morbidly obese woman who disrespects her male superiors. She found out by reading a tabloid headline, something which her more able colleagues apparently weren’t capable of.

Nothing woke in this. Excellent HBO miniseries depicting soldiers in WWII in the Pacific. I'm no history expert so I can't speak to it's accuracy. Very dark, violent and graphic but realistic look at war, not for the squeamish. The only negative I can give this is the odd choice of Episode 3. The entire episode is spent on leave in Australia and while there is a few minor moments moments that affect some of the soldiers it generally comes across as out of place and almost pointless and entirely skippable. Otherwise I would say give this a watch if you can take the violence, blood and gore.

Pretty good horror action movie from 2012 but not without it's flaws. Half of the acting is good but there are some notable bad ones as well and there is some minor writing problems. There is buckets of blood and gore and all the FX are very well done. The story is good but I feel like I've seen something very similar to this before, though it's possible I might have actually just watched this already. While Evans is great in the role I feel like the villain is a little too invincible and able to pull off a bit too much. There is a very small amount of the girl power stuff in here but it's not too bad and I don't think it's worth giving it a woke score over. Surprised this never got a sequel as there is some potential to build on.

Outstanding Holocaust remembrance series

Given how delicate and controversial this subject is, both in the film industry and in life itself, this series handles it with absolute respect.

It’s a great adaptation of Heather Morris’s work.

It’s harsh and emotionally heavy, but the quality is exceptional.

No woke stuff here.

Was a good watch with no woke elements

Just like house of the dragon you have the unexplained eyesore multiracial utopia that wasn't in game of thrones and neither make sense in a story based on medieval Europe.

While I haven't read the book so I can't personally compare the 2 there are a good amount of articles and reviews out there saying this
is very different from the book. The acting is ok but everyone is unlikable or annoying. The plot makes little sense and spoilers follow.
Your wife is dying of cancer and wants to give all her money away so you just happen to find her exact lookalike twin down to height, mannerisms, speech and body size on Facebook. Your plan is to have her pose as your wife and sign something saying she is changing her mind. For some reason you decide to invite an investigative journalist onto the ship you are trying pull this off on. You put her up in a cabin accessible to anybody on the ship then are in said cabin coaching her without the door looked so anyone can just walk in and find you. As for woke there is DEI overrepresentation. One of the changes made in the movie is with the character Ben. I found 2 articles 1 saying he's white in the book and the other saying he's mixed race. Either way he is black here so we can get that important woke mixed race box checked. The other problem is in the book she is dating a different character and the Ben character is a background minor one. Here the boyfriend is erased and DEI Ben is now shoved into the story. There is also the laughable stick figure female head of security. All of the male characters are bad except for, you guessed it DEI Ben. As far as I can remember none of the female characters are portrayed as bad. I made it all the way through but it's a short movie and really not very good.

No agenda. A little dark.

Woke: None. That is, unless you consider the existence of a privileged, female, corporate executive to be woke.

The "twist" was predictable. The acting was top-notch. Most of the characters were unlikable by design. That's good acting. Overall the movie just made me feel gloomy. That was also by design. That's good directing.

I didn't recognize Jesse Plemens at first. When I saw El Camino, I notice that he put on a lot of weight. In this movie, he lost all that and more.

As predictable as the twist was, it was still intense.

Not really woke, but not very good either.

The entire movie you wait for it to get interesting. The main character is pretty much just insufferable for most of the movie. (Yes, that's the part she's supposed to play, but it just comes off as annoying as hell and boring.) If you like laughing at Kardashian type crap, this might be the movie for you. If you have a brain, you'll be bored and annoyed.

Movie Rating: 3/10
Woke Rating: 2/10

It's basically a new "Falling Down".

(No Spoilers.)

Well, if you've seen Falling Down with Michael Douglas, then you've pretty much seen this. It's enjoyable to watch a movie crap on the insanity of society. (Think of it as a slightly left leaning Idiocracy.) The premise, a man who finally snaps, is great... but there's some older woke stuff (The movie is from 2011. "It's older woke stuff, but it checks out.") ragging on Republicans as usual. That said, the movie does a pretty good job of crapping on everything across the board, though it just falsely attributes certain things to the Republicans. They also crap on the far right Christians, but other than the occasional woke dialogue, there's not much woke stuff. I did enjoy both main actors performances and the character designs. It was decently entertaining, however unless you've watched a ton of the other good movies that are out there, (In this vein, Idiocracy.) then I wouldn't waste your time.

Overall Movie Rating: 5.5/10
Woke Rating: 3/10 (I reduced the woke stuff by one point due to it being relatively tame for todays standards.)

Paramount strikes again

Straight to the point → Can kids watch it? Yes.

Does it have woke elements? Yes. → Barb never existed in the original stories; and that character is there to fill thA quota

As a SpongeBob fan who’s seen absolutely everything in that universe since the very first episode (including material made after the creator passed away), I can confidently say this movie is a total disrespect to its creator. Paramount didn’t even bother to include a simple “thank you” to Stephen Hillenburg in the credits.

Is it SpongeBob? It’s basically a rehash of the first movie and a very calculated breakdown of all the elements that make SpongeBob SpongeBob but without the interesting spark of Hillenburg’s original vision. Back then, SpongeBob was for the whole family, Squidward included. Here, Squidward is pushed to the background→ third place, maybe even fourth.

In the end, kids can watch it, but it really doesn’t do justice to what Stephen Hillenburg created.

Not for everyone

This is a strange sci-fi movie with a very strong central theme, built around a mystery that’s present right from the start. I liked it, it’s not a bad movie, but only about 80%.

To explain where I’m coming from, I’ll leave a link to a video by experts who’ve seen it, and one of them pretty much agrees with me.

⚠Fair warning ⚠ it has light spoilers.
They don’t say exactly what happens, but they do talk about the ending without revealing it:
