Nothing Woke. This is close in quality to 3 except maybe a little bit worse. Still watchable but some of writing is not so and there is some
problems with characters doing stupid things. Non of these characters is very likable either unlike with the original. For some unexplained reason
Dewey is suddenly totally normal with no limp or lame arm from the 2nd and 3rd one. He now for some reason also can't hit a target 20ft in front of him with multiple shots. There is also a very creepy comment from a police officer talking about a high school girl saying 'she can live next to me'. It's a very weird creepy pedo groomer moment and there is no reason for it.

Nothing really woke in this one. One instance of a black character making a comment about how hard it is to get work as an actor if your
black. That's really all I remember. This is the weakest of the OG trilogy. I rated it the same as the 2nd one but really probably more like
a 3.5 but you can give half points on this site. The acting is mostly ok but there are a few not so good actors as well. The story is ok I guess and is written to kind of tie everything together. The writing though is not as good. More problems with characters doing stupid things and some really stretches in logic and a few holes in the story that aren't explained and doing add up. Still worth watching and an ok ending to the trilogy.

A small amount of DEI overrepresentation in general casting. The opening scene with the black couple and Jada Smith being an openly racist
white hating nasty p.o.s. is disgusting. Brandy as the best friend is arguably a DEI hire as her acting is pretty bad. It's all small things
and the movie overall isn't really woke other than that. The writing is a little weaker than the first one with some questionable scenes and
Metcalf's acting isn't very good particularly the last half hour. Still a generally good movie and a worth sequel.

Nothing woke. This still holds up very well. Acting is good, the suspense and fx are well done. The writing is generally great though
there are a few problems its not enough to detract from the overall movie. A great 90's slasher classic.

Not woke

Quite a few familiar actors. Not a bad movie. Interesting premise. Set in Columbia so the the DIE casting was limited to a random durka durka and a few niggers.

Very moving.

An insight into the painful situation of divorced parents, specially when one is a "gaijin" (foreigner) in Japan, regarding the child custody. Very moving. No wokeness here... Or it was so subtle that I didn't even realized !

Skip.

It took 2 and a half episodes to see the needle reaching the red zone of my woke-o-meter. Skip. Apart from the wokeness, I never really got into the story, the characters, etc.

It's good, but not great

Well, the bar is now so low, simply not having Streep play Jesus in the Old Testament is almost enough.

I don't consider myself a scholar of the Bible, bit I'm pretty sure the writers played a bit loose with the source at times. Pretty sure monogamy wasn't a thing for the kings of the times.

At least, they did not introduce non-sense: men are men, with beards on their chins.

The cast is a solid ensemble of could-have-beens: talented enough that they could have had a bigger career, but not lucky enough.
Or too ethnic: they (almost) all look appropriately Semitic. No black-washing this time, go figure.

Visually, the series is adequate but uninspired. Or inspired, actually. Mostly Lord of the Rings (Lang's Samuel is very Gandalf-y), with some Dune, and a tad of Shogun.
Again, I'm not an expert on the period, but the clothing might be off part of the time, jewelry is sometimes suspicious, weapons are anachronistic more often than not, and the architecture, especially in wide shots, often looks Medieval, Central to Eastern Europe to me.

Anyway, the script flows well, narration is clear albeit not inventive, and the cast works hard at selling their parts.
Uloom and Fehr are stand-outs (always liked Fehr), Lang, well, is about as good as he was in Conan. Or Braven. He really should avoid filming with Momoa.

DEI black boyfriend for the white female lead is a horrible actor and only there for the mixed race couple check mark. The white male security guard has a black daughter. A lot of DEI overrepresentation in general. A large male security guard gets overpowered and manhandled by a tine
petite female. This is a complete mess of a movie. No comedy or horror despite those are the genres it listed in. This is one of those movies
where all the characters are made to act unrealistically and crazy for no reason other than to try to make a odd quirky movie just to be weird.
Despite all the music and product placement it never really feels like it takes place in the 90's either. Just another pretentious indie movie
whos director thinks they are clever.

Once again we have a British movie where the black population is less than 4 percent yet we have a black male character with the only white
male in the movie other than the child being the dead father. Even the fire fighters that show up none are seen or heard talk except for
1 female fire fighter. The acting is average at best the FX are minimal and not very well done. There are hardly any scares with only a few
lame jump scares and loud blaring noises. The creature is only ever seen in very dark or blurry fast moving scenes and the little you do see
of it doesn't look very good and definitely not scary. Very slow moving and boring for the most part.

Enjoyed this, good action movie.

I really enjoyed this, of course the story is nothing groundbreaking or creative but it's a Jason Statham movie so you know what to expect.

No woke shit to really report, much better than the beekeeper which had more wokeness in it.

I didn't notice any woke but I only survived 30 minutes of this abomination. Typical fish out of water with misfit kids story. The acting
is pretty bad espicailly by the kids. They are the biggest problem with this movie. In order for this to work you need to like or at least
be hoping it turns out ok for the kids. These kids have no redeeming value at all. These are the worst p.o.s. little assholes you will ever see.
Within 10 minutes I already hated them and was hoping they would all fall into a wood chipper and be done with. The writing is just garbage and none of the jokes are funny. There is no world where child services would see that house with those appalling living conditions combined
with the disgusting filthy appearance of the kids and not instantly take them away. Complete nonsense.
