TL;DR: gets worse with Time (Lords), watch the older stuff

I'm rating the newest batch, assuming most readers to be young'uns.

Also because I finally got around to see what the protest was about.

New-Who is atrocious. It's uninspired, slop propaganda writing at its worst. Or best. Pinnacle. The agenda was clear when the Doctor got to be a woman, then a black foppish man. Both are flat, amateur actors, and their companions are no better.

Honestly, I watched less than 2 hours worth of these new series. More like desecration rituals. All the leftist talking points.

The revival series do have some merit. Eccleston is a solid actor, works brilliantly with Piper, and benefits from excellent scripts.
Tennant does a good job of bringing together traits from the previous Doctors, and has a few smashing episodes (Weeping Angels, anyone?). His comeback was a sell-out, though.
I didn't really follow Smith's and Capaldi's tenures; good actors, but the show was going to shite, and I just didn't bother, so, maybe some good in there.


The classic series are definitely 10s out of 10 in my book (nostalgia alert). Pertwee's Doctor is fully inhuman, going from disarmingly child-like to monstrously calculating in a jiffy, and Baker's is the incarnation of madness-with-a-method. And a scarf.
The show did flounder in the 80s, but we had high expectations at the time; it probably was still pretty decent.

I guess an apt comparison in the US would be original Star Trek vs Lower Star Trek. TOS had some many things to make fun about, and yet, well, the dog's bollocks.

I felt like the world stopped being real, walking out of the cinema

That's how immersive the movie was. No idea how it compares to other Scorcesse movies, it was my second one (First, if you don't count Goncharov), but it certainly was one of the most impactful movies i've seen. Even if most aspects of the story went over my head, as I'm not originally from the US

Also
People in the reviews act like this is some made up alternate reality. As if the plot wasn't based on accounts of actual native tribes. As if things like this weren't actually happening in american history.
What's next? Are you gonna call WWII movies woke, because they show white people killing a religious minority, and calls them the bad guys for it? Some of you are too insecure and it shows

Mild Surprise as with Popeye the Slayer Man

I didn't have much faith going in to Screamboat, but as it turns out, it ain't too bad. Kind of in a Popeye the Slayer Man way. The production and acting are well enough and we can guarantee ourselves the simplest plot of all time.

I'll say that this refresh of Grimm fairytales, etc. like Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey and, I think there's a Bambi one out there too, are running out of steam, but if the producers can just keep these movies on a Screamboat or Popeye the Slayer Man level, they just might have something.

No plot. Dubbed from an alien planet. Not terrible.

Everyone reading this review must see this film. It has zero plot. Like, there's millions of things going on: some kind of virus and quarantine, abusive fathers, therapy, zombie weirdos and even bank robbers! None of it makes sense at all and on top of that, the dialog is dubbed direct from the studio.

In Isolation has to be one of the strangest films I've seen in a long time. Reviews on the Internet say it's horrible, but I suspect they can't even get past the dubbed in voices. It's so much more than that. It's not cringe. Not woke. You don't have to think about it or understand what's happening and the plot runs in any direction it wants.

I also liked the soundtrack.

There are WOMEN and they are KISSING

Which I am lead to believe by this site, is very evil

About as woke as it gets

Not much to say, you got women kissing, men kissing, one of the only heterosexual relationship is between a "girlboss" and a "manfail"

But it was a great watch with a friend. Scorpia is adorable!

A girlboss' dream

The series follows a girl, thrown into the court of the chinese emperror as a lowly worker, but quickly breaks through the glass ceiling and climbs through the ranks, because she's so smart, and now everybody around depends on her and is impressed by how great she is

I do enjoy her as a character and the mysteries offered by the show are fantastic, but it is hard to stop noticing the gendered power dynamics of the inner palace

Was better when i was a child

The protagonist, Hiccup, pushes for accepting dragons, once percieved as dangerous destroyers who need to be eradicated, into the viking society.
This is obviously a pro-immigration message.
Also the movie would work just as well if Hiccup wasn't disabled

Nothing woke. This is a micro budget indie horror movie. My first thought was the acting is terrible but actually it's not so much the acting as the line delivery. It's almost like they used every first take, it's very stilted and awkward. The story is barebones and even though the movie is only 80 minutes long it still feels like it drags on a bit as there's just not enough really happening to fill the runtime. It's a basic demon possession story with nothing really new. The writing is ok and the FX are generally pretty well done except the for maybe the Demon but it has very little screen time so it's not that bad. The sets are really well done with a dirty grimy feel to everything and there are a couple of very creepy disturbing shots though generally I would say it's not that scary. Overall it's watchable if you don't mind the low budget feel and bad line delivery just don't expect a lot out of it.

Definitely Woke, But Not THAT Bad.

Alright, in case no one noticed, the transgender flag colours are all over the place almost 100 % of the time (this bothered me during the whole movie). The main character is "trapped-inside-the-closet" and shamed by her step-mother, and only after she decides to "embrace who she really is" everything gets solved. One of the three main girls almost sounds like a man. Also, something constantly mentioned during the movie is "Join the pride" (WTF?)

HOWEVER, I have to give credit where credit is due: The animation is great, most of the songs are fantastic and catchy, and the typical anime faces and situations are very funny.

There is no forced DEI nor forced politically-correct-bodies, and heterosexuality is clearly portrayed (women liking men, men liking women, as it should be). I also wouldn't call the main characters "girlbosses" since they clearly show emotions, weaknesses and how easily they can be defeated if they are not together (also, a female character is saved by a male character at some point).

So I kind of agree with the previous reviewer. I wouldn't encourage you to stop your kids from watching this movie, but I would encourage you to have a friendly talk with them afterwards.

LGBTQARGB Protagonist

Frieren, as well as the entire race of elves, is described early on as basically Asexual - having little to no interest in romance or intercouse, as a result of their long life.
There's also something to be said about the gender in the show. Female characters are always strong, mature, often in mentor positions (Frieren, Flamma) while the men are more dumb, unserious and vain, but still capable (Himmel, Heiter, Stark)

The worldbuilding is fantastic and I almost cried just being reminded of the half-century meteor shower scene
It does feel more 'shouneny' the longer it goes on, but it's a great watch anyway

Somehow really woke, and yet not at all

The movie is ultimately a critique of the American people, society, etc.
It massively exaggerates Kazahstan's flaws and differences to then compare it with a completly realistic portrayal of 2000's USA, making fun of "big city people", obsessions with movie stars, the nazi sympahiser Frat Boys etc.
I fear watching the sequel, because that one might be much, much woker
