Decent Movie
I thought the movie was pretty good. I guess I'm not sure why it would be considered woke other than because the majority of the characters are black. Yes, the black lead is the hero, and the white male was a bit of a puppy dog following her around. But he was a good, decent person who audiences will like. Slight wokeness simply for the fact that the cast was mostly "diverse", but there wasn't any preaching or lessons, or any normalizing of certain lifestyles.

Terrible Nonsensical Writing.
Some DEI background characters and 1 main character. Mixed race couple. Both males are villains or incapable/lesser characters. The acting
is ok except for the older female character. She's not very good. The CG is so-so. The story is complete nonsense and the writing is awful. Nothing makes sense here when any thought is put into it.
Spoilers-
The one character says he's been trapped there for over 8 months. He's shown trapping
1 bird. The are able to start fires somehow to cook it but how are you sustaining enough food? No wildlife is shown. No water source at all
appears to be present for drinking. What about bathing? They don't look anywhere near rough enough for no bathing. What about toilet?
No change of clothes or the ability to wash them. They should be in terrible shape. They state the rules one so which is don't turn your
back to the window. They immediately and repeatedly do so. They somehow magically have a long rope strong enough to support a person. How did this place get built with all the materials in the middle of nowhere? How is the generator still working and with fuel without
maintenance and refills after 20 years? Why did the creature need help escaping when she was there from the beginning and would of known
the path and location of the means to escape? Why was Daniels hair so short and no facial growth if it's been eight months. The writing is abysmal nonsense.

Excellent If a Bit Over The Top
I didn't notice any woke. The female character was not the usual feminist and the black characters were not out of place as the film takes place in Africa. Great acting and FX. The story is close the real one though way over the top. The humor works and the action scenes are well done. It's more of a Kingsman exaggerated type movie but I enjoyed it for what it was.

"Today is a good day to die." -Sioux/Klingon saying
"The Last Samurai" has no trace of woke and follows a similar theme to "Shōgun". There is even an actor recycled between them, with Hiroyuki Sanada playing a samurai here and Lord Toranaga in "Shōgun".
However, "The Last Samurai" is set about 270 years later than "Shōgun". That's a mind-blowing time difference for so little change in technology. It's understandable for the isolationist Japanese, but even the westerners made only incremental advancements except for the Gatling Guns. I give honorable mention to rifling in firearms and artillery, but jeez, 270 years!
Contrary to popular belief, I don't think Tom Cruise's character is supposed to be the last samurai. He is just buds with the last samurai.

"The whole world's on fire, isn't it?"
"The Last of the Mohicans" is set during an intriguing period of Colonial America, amid the war between England and France, with Native American tribes taking sides. It's an enjoyable movie, but the shallow romance feels off. Thankfully, there's nothing woke about it.
Women are portrayed as damsels in distress. One woman does fire a couple of shots, but nothing unrealistic. The romance is established with a few seconds of intense eye contact and a kiss, and then suddenly, the couple is bonded for life, with the man willing to die for her. There's a moment where she is higher than him during the kiss, suggesting he might be lifting her up for more than a kiss.
The Natives are not depicted as new age hippies like in newer films. They are shown as savages who fight among different tribes, yet are partially integrated and allied with the French or English.
The uniforms and war scenes vividly bring this period to life. The style of warfare must have seemed alien to the Natives, even those who grew up around it. You'd think the English would have learned from their conflicts with the Natives how to handle guerilla warfare, but no. Two decades after the events in the film, the English get wrecked by the Colonials in the American Revolution.
This is a no-nonsense film where women are women and Injuns are Injuns. Watch it and embark on a remarkable history-based journey.

A great compliment to the movie itself.
If you want to enjoy The Godfather even more, watch this miniseries first. The movie is even more watchable when you know what it took to make.

It's the standard by which I judge all movies
There's a reason that this movie sits so high on every "greatest movie" list. Actually, a lot of reasons. It's a story about a good-hearted man being placed in a situation that compels him to abandon his resolve and follow the path in life he was trying to avoid. Every time I re-watch this movie, I keep trying to find that one place in Michael's journey where I would've done something differently to avoid the path to corruption. I haven't found it yet. The story behind the making of this movie makes it even more watchable. The Offer is a miniseries about the making of The Godfather. I highly recommend that.

For the kids.
Not woke. It is, however, kind of boring. It's one of those movies that have all the good parts in the trailers. There's no apparent agenda. The language and subject matter are clean. It's for kids. I recommend it accordingly.

Cute!
There are plenty of woke elements, but none of them (for me) take away from the effective story and likeable characters. The movie is sweet, charming, and fun to watch.

I recommend this.
This movie would appeal to anyone who likes John Wick, Nobody, The Accountant, The Foreigner, etc. That means I love it. It's on my re-watch list. There's some very clever production with Mel Gibson being an entirely remote character. Don't look for too much realism. I did mention John Wick. Just enjoy the very interesting story with top notch acting.

Contains satire of woke
I think this movie would've been offensive to me if I were woke. It treated wokeness with a feel of ridicule. Other than that, it's Ryan Reynolds. Enjoy it. It's not as good as the first one but, that's typical.

Disappointing
I have recently become a huge Glen Powell fan and I was so excited to watch a fun romcom. But the script is HORRIBLE. Absolutely horrible. I physically cringed multiple times and had to pause the movie to let the ick fade before starting it again. There's no way in the world I'll ever watch this movie again.
Lots of woke themes, but plenty of other people have touched on that already. At least nothing felt rude or hateful besides one T-shirt worn by one of the women which read "ego of a straight white male". Gross.
But for the most part everybody was treated the same, so I wasn't too annoyed.
If only the script had been passable... But it's one of the worst romcom scripts I've ever watched.
