One of THE MOST OVERLOOKED classics

The amount of mindfuckery that unfolds in this movie is enough to put your favorite Nolan movies to shame.

Listen, I'm probably one of the most anti-woke mfs on this planet. I can't stand the sight of even the slightest hint of wokeness these days in movies.

So believe me when I say I don't see anything woke here. I see a love for art and storytelling. And some phenomenal acting.

Also, this movie came out during a time where dogshit ideologies weren't shoved down our throats at every turn of phrase. Storytelling was tasteful. The art of cinema was respected.

So, yes. Anyone who does rate this as woke is either a certified moron or a sarcastic attention-seeking troll.

Predestination

Predestination, not woke come-on people. First you see a baby left at a orphanage then grows into a little girl misfit beating up the boys at school next the bar seen, a Woman comes into a bar dressed as a man, they tells a dragged out story of her two sex organs and the ensuing sex change, then goes into the bathroom staring at the closed toilet seat not knowing what to do. Posted review; no mention of how woke, review states “ interesting and captivating with a new twist to a classic formula” greatest sci-fi film, etc,etc. Man if this movie ain’t woke what is, I can’t believe more people haven’t complained. I only made it to the toilet seat seen, that was enough. Not only woke but super duper woke, you get the hole sex change story and more. Ethan Hawke, shame on you for putting up with this script

Could have been excellent

Hoult and Cage are brilliant - for once, Cage is not the only main character. Hoult is shaping up to be consistently good.

The movie itself is tongue-in-cheek, colourful and irreverencious.

Sadly, it's marred by girlboss syndrome - which could make sense in context - but males are uniformly bubbling incompetents. It's played for comedy, but, white blokes exclusively.

Awkeye final - Aqua fina - the female lead - seems close to developing an acting ability. Also, comedic timing. Same character, same act as in Shang-Chi.
It's wonderful that her career began before she was ready. I mean, for her, not for us. Must be her physique. Or not. I hear she's a rapper too. Hopefully, it's all I hear.

I really liked the photography. It is, as previously stated, colourful. And expressive. Far from the usual Hollywood orange and teal.

Good movie, sadly trying to trend toward the 'modern audience', which I am not part of.
Could have been excellent with a less sexist/racist script, and a better actress.

The only real woke is some DEI token and overrepresentation in background characters, at least in the first 30 minutes I managed to watch. There are some great actors here yet somehow the acting is all barely passible. I put the blame squarely on the director. The story is completely implausible stupidity. Now that would be fine if the comedy was a bit on the over the top side. But it's not, the entire thing is played straight and serious and there is nothing funny anywhere. It's just boring bland slow moving stupidity.

DEI black over representation. There is a small child that looks to be maybe 8 that is said he feels like a girl on the inside. This character later
goes full transformer and thinks he is a woman named tinkerbell. The lead male and the transformer kiss. This started out very promising at the beginning then just kind of fell apart. The acting is mostly decent and the FX are pretty good. This is part of the Twisted Childhood Universe (TCU) that is supposed to be dark versions of if the fairy tales were real. However non of the neverland aspects are real. It's just a standard serial killer slasher movie using the names from Peter Pan story. If you take out and change all the peter pan references it doesn't change the movie at all. This one is a disappointment in general made worse with all the woke nonsense.

Lost its spirit

Cage is fat and tired, Elba is off his pace (French? Seriously?), rest of the cast is mediocre, character parameters have radically changed, the camera work is jittery and chaotic, the colours are weird in a bad way, and everything feels cheap.

The excavator scene even feels cheap with money. Nouveau riche.

The movie trudges through the motions. Even Lambert fails to behead anybody. Head fails to guide anyone.
I was doing something else during the second half.

The bar is so low for marvel movies people starting to say this bs is woke free

2 male characters from the comics were gender swapped +1 race swap
Girl bosses everywhere you look
Butch haircut main girl
No justice done to sentry

SUPER WOKE

It’s starting to feel repetitive—so many movies follow the same formula. The white woman is portrayed as the brave, smart leader, often telling the white men what to do. Black men are shown risking their lives and being the most selfless or kind, while the white men are either villains or portrayed as weak. It’s becoming predictable. Besides all that the movie wasn’t bad I liked the Dino’s.

Classic Great Movie

This was a staple family movie watched many times. Great from beginning to end. Our family liked this version much better than the new live action version

It's Good, but has problems, as Stitch would say.

It's ok, but my family enjoyed the original better. They removed one of the best characters, switched Cobra Bubbles, and up-ended the story a bit. The scientist genius wasn't the bad guy before. They made Nani into a sort of girl boss marine biologist adept who wants to leave this world behind, and pursue a fancy career. The end was silly, after Nani saves Lilo, she goes back to save Stitch in hero fashion, leaving David to do nothing. Not to mention David was twice as dumb as the original, he was the one to save Stitch.

Yipie I ay

Cage is in great shape, Mendes is shapely, Elliott is under-used.

The movie is visually pleasant, but incredibly formulaic.

Good watch, but... Petite girl kicks butt on powerful beings

Possible spoilers...
Early in the movie, it was mentioned that whatever is in the gorge defeated an army of thousands. When Drasa and Levi met up with them, the petite Drasa fought off multiple monsters and occasionally rescued Levi from peril. Other than that, this movie was non-woke and a lot better than I expected. As the plot unfolds, it becomes less "supernatural" and more Sci-Fi. It's worth the watch.
