Nothing woke. Excellent homage to 80's alien sci/fi. The time period is well done, the acting and dialog are good, the writing is good.
Is it original? No. Is is anything you haven't seen before? Probably not. But it is well done and entertaining without any of the woke
political preachy bs.

Well made yet insufferable

This movie is an early example of wokeness where Hollywood still knew how to make good movies but wokeness had begun infesting it in the form of feminism. Everything about the movie is good except Bond's sidekick who is a despicable girlboss and nothing but a liability to Bond and totally unlikeable, yet The Narrative requires him to fawn over her as though she's deserving of adoration. Ruins an otherwise good movie.

Definately worth watching, more so than normal NCIS.

I'm really enjoying this so far, there are a few masculine characters but along with that some bullshit.

Like of course there are a couple of cuntish, disrespectful women in it and the main guy seems to be falling in love with one of them wheras any actual self respecting man wouldn't go near these women. But they aren't enough to ruin it, and not as bad as the woman in the latest Reacher season.

Otherwise fairly worth the watch, enjoyable and interesting.

I've seen some of the original NCIS but don't think i've ever watched a full episode. This one doesn't feel like it's the same character, but I watched it standalone cos the trailer looked good, not having watched the original enough to really compare.

EDIT: Stopped watching in the first episode of season 2. Ruined by the exact bullshit I mentioned and simp bullshit.

Smashing.

First series: fantastic writing, concise, meaningful dialogs, tight photography.
Found it superior to Daredevil. The Punisher is less super-hero, more gritty film noir.

Well, there's still Hollywood trauma recovery, and Hollywood balistic, which are somehow more jarring in a more realistic context.

I would say the purely action part is inferior to the Ennis run of the comic, as Castle can be something of a meathead, whereas Ennis' Punisher was a cold, calculated, tactical killing machine.

Characters are great, no effort skipped in developing even tertiary characters, and the acting is rock solid.

Still, white men can be good or bad, but all bad characters are white men. It's Hollywood, baby.




Second series, well, introduces a single mom love interest (young boy, sort of makes sense in Castle's case), and a sassy, mean, juvenile girl-boss. The kind to give lip when she's just been rescued from assassination, and is even further out of her depth than she is up her own arse.
In short, an unlikeable moron. An unfortunate choice for someone present in most scenes.
She does get better over time, but only marginally. Far less screen time, which is an improvement.
The female mercs start kicking less arse in the second half, because a 100 pounds disadvantage is one hell of a disadvantage.
Tactically speaking, everybody has a two-digits IQ; the "woods at night" scene is particularly egregious.

Honestly, it feels like they started to wokify the whole thing, and thought better of it halfway through.

The new actors are, well, probably less expensive. At least, Stewart is excellent. Photography still top-notch. Music's good. Alice In Chains, always nice. The writing is still decent. Sort of the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Punisher style, with a side dish of Harley Quin (although Mr J is rather unconvincing).
Still excellent, but definitely a sophomore slump.

Nothing woke but I did exit out at the 45 minute mark. The acting is fine and the cinematography and time period is well done. The main problem here is that it plays out more like a docudrama than an actual movie. There isn't really any plot or main storyline to follow and for some reason they decided to tell most of it from the point of view of one of the club members wives. That is the big problem is the character of Kathy the narrator. This might be one of the all time most annoying brain bleed inducing voices ever, and you will here it A LOT!
The movie isn't so much bad as it is just so pointless, meandering and dull. Like a wannabe Scorsese on valium.

I didn't notice anything overly woke other than the ships first mate in real life was male and was gender swapped in the movie to female for
no reason other than DEI. The acting is mostly good and as far as I was able to tell the story seemed to be very accurate to the true events.
None of the usual overblown Hollywood 'lets make it better and add a bunch of things that never happened' nonsense.
It's a good story and an entertaining watch.

Swapped gender roles with plenty of DEI

White men are either inept or corrupt. White women are powerful and cruel, you know like "the patriarchy". The black female lead is the most intellectually superior, altruistic human on Earth. Plenty of feminist, independent women and stereotypical LGB representation. The brilliant alien can't seem to function or do his work without a stream of even more brilliant females to help him tie his shoes. Every facet of this show is colored by typical woke, feminist, DEI programming.

No surprises though. This was made by CBS Studios. CBS Studios produced Star Trek: Discovery, which has been praised for its inclusion of LGBTQ+ characters, as well as shows that tackle issues of race and gender, like The Equalizer or The Good Fight.

Nothing woke. This is a terrible movie. The acting is truly awful but the beginning with the 'Cherry" actress is really a new low in acting.
She is so bad it's actually painful to watch. It's standard slasher movie cliches with nothing new. The killer is a generic slasher monster as
is the the story. Even the kills are boring and not worth watching it for. No scares, no gore just boredom.

*spoiler* Not for me

Thanks, 45Trump47 for the spoiler. Too bad I thought it was a joke. Anyhow, I made it about 45 minutes into this film and it's really not for me. And I distrust Hollywood when it comes to Catholic films since we all know how the libs feel about God and religion. I did sense a bit of Catholic bashing in the short time I watched. And Wikipedia tells me he is a hermaphrodite. An odd and relatively stupid plot point for me. They should have made him a fuzzy.

Black shaved head female head of assassins. Way to much DEI non white characters for 83% white UK. These movies have been done many time before by now. The aging hitman who doesn't want to retire. There is nothing new here but it's not particularly bad either. The acting is ok and the writing and action scenes are average. Waltz while a good actor is a bit miscast in the role but it's not terrible other than the ridiculous
idea that a 70 year old can repeatedly go to a club and take multiple 20 something women home all the time. Still you could do worse than this movie.

Another Amateur No Budget Zombie Movie

I noticed nothing woke. While the story is average and nothing new it could of been a decent zombie movie. However the acting, dialog and
writing is awful. The zombie FX are weak, the actors clearly don't know anything about firearms. There is terrible looking excessive muzzzle
flash added to every gunshot. Characters are constantly chambering rounds right before firing the gun meaning they are walking around with
unloaded weapons all the time. The fight choreography is bad. Somehow vehicles are operating and running perfectly fine 10 years into the apocalypse even though gas and batteries would never be good for that long. Lead actress is supposed to be in her teens but is clearly not.

Slightly Below Average Creature Horror

No really too woke but there is the beta weak father and the nasty agressive female character. The acting is average except for the asian
guy who is awful. This is a candidate for possible A.I. written script. It's not so much bad as just so cliche and average. This has every
creature feature cliché you can think of. There are no scares and although a decent amount of blood and gore it somehow still seems tame. The real weakness is the unlikable characters, every single one of them. This also features the extremely annoying and stupid Hollywood
'nailgun works like an actual gun' b.s. If you really like creature movies this is somewhat watchable.
