idk

as in "idk what to rate it"

on one hand, it's a well-directed show. that opening sequence was peak cinema.

on the other hand, oh boy...

3 things.

1) Fisk is Trump. everything about Fisk here is a shot at Trump. even the characters he meets and talks to or is involved with are counterparts of the likes of Melania, JD Vance, etc.
yes, it's subtle. very subtle. only people with sharp non-verbal communication skills and the ability to "read between the lines between the lines" will get what i'm saying. and that's fine. if you don't see it, that's not your fault.
but here's a fact you'll find interesting: Fisk's storyline here is in fact a direct adaptation of the 2017 comicbook storyline where Fisk becomes mayor... and that too was a blatant shot at Trump right after he became the Prez.
Go figure.;)

2) not a single likeable female character here apart from Karen. love Karen. she's the only woman in the show that feels "natural" (at least for the 30 mins that i managed to watch from episode 1). every other woman in the show is written like the fluttering tail of a still reverberating echo (pun not intended) of the DEI clusterfuck that was Marvel circa 2023-24.

[but yes... they picked some damn good writers this time, because they sure know how to hide these things under the mask of excellent filmmaking. to the point even i begin to question whether it's really that woke or not. and that's when i say to myself: "don't let the greatness fool you"]

3) now, i'm not a Christian. but Daredevil always has been. even the comicbook the show borrows its name from... was heavy on the Christian undertones. not as some religious propaganda (duh), but because it's who Daredevil is as a character. it's what sets him apart from the rest of the Marvel heroes. his struggles with "faith". facing his "demons". etc etc... it gave him that edge. that atmosphere. like a fever-dream of realistic superheroism.
BUT from what i'm hearing... this time around... it's been reported (rather joyously by left wing journalists) that there are NO Christian themes in the show whatsoever. lol.

again, i'm not Christian or any kind of religious snob in the traditional sense. but i recognize butchering of art when i see it. i recognize the desecration of a character's depth when i see it. i recognize woke when i see it.

over.

Awesome

One of the best films ever made.

Feminist drivel.

N00b Reacher Watcher opinions

Season 2.
After watching most of season 2, I can say that the show is, for me, still enjoyable. I like all the characters, the women on the team regardless if they're bad ass or not. I care more about their character development and if they're cool and sexy than if they're written in as "girl boss". Jesus Christ. I sure am a sexist pig for liking sexy women in this day and age. Can I even say that out loud? Reacher is still a bad ass as well and the plot is fun.

Season 1.
I've said in my other reviews that I hardly ever start watching these types of series since they *immediately* turn man-on-man gay. I said, "self, let's see how long it takes" and turned on Reacher. So far, he's cool. Kicks ass. Note: I did not read the books. Going to keep watching and see how it goes :)

The last of the theatrical released Ernest movies. By this time you should know what to expect from these movies and you wont be disappointed. If you like the previous ones this is more of the same. Acting and humor are on par with the previous films and this is a decent entry in the series. The humor while still stupid silly fun mostly works in a light hearted turn your brain off kind of way. Some of the jokes and setups (the runaway canon sequence in particular) go on for way to long and just become really silly and unfunny. I think it's a little better than the previous one but not by much

The acting is a real mixed bag here. Some is ok but there is some really poor acting by some the characters. The Ernest scenes are amusing but there is way to much focus on the kid actors and it makes the whole movie come off as very childish. The story is very silly but some of the gags and humor work when Ernest is involved. A step in the wrong direction from the previous 2 movies.

Better Than Expected

Mostly female cast with the few males either bad or morons. Marie Curry getting credit for discovering radiation when that's not true. There are multiple credits including hers and other men, NOT her alone. That being said this sequel to the original was much better than I expected. Most of the cast returns and the acting and writing is good and in the spirit of the original. The story makes sense as a sequel and the FX stay true to the original instead of going the full bad CG route. I would say
if you like the original and can get past the woke you will enjoy this as well.

Excellent Throwback Thriller/Horror Movie

Some minor DEI casting. Starts out as a standard serial killer police chase and ends up as something much more. The acting and writing are excellent. The cinematography is also incredible and the entire movie just has a creepy feel to it. It's a great throwback to 70's and 80's thrillers. They don't make movies like this anymore.

Woke But Not a Terrible PG Horror

Mixed race couple with black female lead. The white male husband has very little screen time and the white boy next door who is a complete
loser as well. They both could of been taken out of the script entirely and it would of made no difference. In fact around the halfway point
they do just that and both disappear as if they never existed. It's all about the females. The black stepmom with 2 daughters, the lady next door and the female therapist. Also it's said that her father lost his sight and mind after looking into the creatures eyes for a few seconds
because he wasn't strong enough yet the mom stares into them for an extended period of time and ends up just fine. That being said the acting isn't too bad except maybe the elderly neighbor. The fx are ok though nothing special. The story starts off as a standard haunted/possesed object cliché though it does evolve into something else by the end. There are some creepy moments and it is watchable for a PG-13 horror. There is little to no blood or gore but as these go it's not the worst.

Not Bad But A Little Hard To Watch

Nothing woke. This is a little difficult to rate as I expected more of a comedy. While there is some humor it's more dramady and deals heavily
with the holocaust. Well acted and directed with wonderful cinematography the tour through Poland is hard to watch sometimes. The other problem is that the Benji character is just so damn unlikable. I realize he has problems and that is what they were going for but Damn I really wanted to punch him in the face several times. I would say this is definitely worth a one time watch just don't expect a light comedy.

Could of Been So Much Better

Nothing woke. Well acted and somewhere in there is a really great courtroom drama buried under some terrible inept script writing. This guy is a writer for a lifestyle magazine yet has never heard of this case that happened on the same night at the exact spot he thinks he hit a deer. There is no way either lawyer finds out one of them is an ex homicide detective. Then the black guy that works at a boys and girls club whos brother was killed by the gang the guy on trial used to be a member of years ago and somehow nobody knows knows that either. The suspect gets arrested for murder with literally no evidence whatsoever other than an old guy who supposedly can identify him from 300 yards in the pouring rain but doesn't see it's not his car. The defense attorney is the worst at his job ever as that would of been discredited in about 5 seconds. The entire jury seems to be made up of weak minded fools who are instantly swayed back and forth with a single sentence. His wife finds out he may have killed someone and is just instantly ok with it and fine with him sending an innocent person to jail. There way to many script problems to list all of them but that is just a few of the big ones. I still managed to sit through the whole thing but it requires you be able to laugh off the nonsense as it comes.

Maximum Woke

Pretty much every single leftist woke checkbox imaginable. Race swapped the adoptive mother from a red head white woman to Indian so they could have that mixed race couple. The show is set in Oregon with a 72 percent white population yet white seems to be the minority here. TV Naomi is said to be bi-sexual with an ex boyfriend and a current purple haired lesbian love interest. Nowhere that I am aware of is this accurate to original comic book character. The parents openly talk about her discuss her bi-sexuality like its totally normal. Why is a show about 16 year old's focusing on sexual orientation anyway. Beyond all that nonsense the acting and dialogue is terrible. Everything about this screams bad 90's teen network show right down to the awful camera angles and editing and even the CG. The episode 1 CG sequence with the superman fight was so bad it had me laughing. No shock this was canceled in 1 season.
