Childish

I found this action flick childish and hence unenjoyable. Admittedly, the ending is great, but getting there is painful. Many love this film for reasons unfathomable to me, so YMMV. Nothing woke.

If you like writers who mock God, demonize the wealthy, treat sex like it's nothing

Rabbit/Hole started off great, the pilot clued me into a classic political thriller a la Tom Clancy. It started strong, however, as the series progressed, it became increasingly evident that the show was poorly executed and ultimately uninteresting. I like Kiefer Sutherland and Charles Dance, but frankly neither are at their best here.

The characters were poorly developed, and the acting was lackluster, making it hard for me to emotionally invest in the story. Furthermore, the show was plagued with hamfisted contemporary politicking that only served to remind me that the writer's room was full of people with nothing but distaste for the very people that would like this kind of show. The writers seemed more interested in surreptitiously promoting a political agenda and using as many contemporary buzzwords as possible than delivering a captivating and exciting story.

Rabbit Hole had an excellent premise, but unfortunately, it failed to deliver. The show was poorly executed, uninteresting, and preachy. Viewers who were hoping for an exciting espionage thriller will undoubtedly be disappointed with the series. While the show had its moments, it ultimately fell short of the mark, and I cannot recommend it to fans of the genre. At the time of this review I have seen the first 5 episodes, and I will not be finishing the series. If you want the kind of show that Rabbit/Hole appears at first glance to be, I recommend The Terminal List or The Night Agent.

Season 2 is Watchable Only For Annie Wilkes

I watched season 1 when it originally came out several year ago and remember really enjoying it and don't recall it being very woke
if at all. Season 2 however is extremely DEI heavy. The amount of diversity for a small town in Maine is absurd. Latest data has
Maine as 98 percent white. There is also a lesbian teen love interest. All white people are bad and racist while all Somali people
are good and noble. White males in particular are always bad and several female characters make blanket negative statements about
men being violent and bad. One Somali character makes a comment about a white character going full KKK when the situation referred to
has absolutely nothing to do with race. The church is of course evil. The season overall has two storylines one an origin story for
Annie Wilkes and the other a supernatural story involving the Merrill family. The Annie story is the highlight with the acting by
Caplan in general being incredible and the writing is excellent. This is the only real reason to watch the second season. The Merrill
family story is junk, the acting by most is average to poor and the writing is all over the place and makes no sense. Two episodes
in particular at the end of the season come out of left field and go full Walking Dead zombie story for no reason. The writing here
gets really poor and the Annie character feels out of place and forced into the other story for no reason. All the characters go full
Rambo gun and explosive experts with perfect marksmanship instantly. The henchmen who are told many times by the villain to 'kill anyone
who isn't us' on multiple occasions have opportunities to eliminate main character but just don't for no reason. The lesbian character
in particular serves no purpose to the season at all and could have been completely written out and changed nothing. This is another
character that should have been killed on several occasions but just isn't for no reason other than.....Lesbian. You can instantly
figure out who survives based on woke writing alone so there are no surprises at all. I would still say the season is watchable for
the great Annie Wilkes story and scenes but should have been compressed to half a season and leave out the Merrill garbage.

Not Bad.

No Woke. An improvement over Astro Monster. The acting and story are better. The limited amount of monster action is a little disappointing but
the blending of FX and miniatures is well done. There are some strange musical choices but overall a decent entry in the Godzilla movies.

More Lame PG Zoomer 'Horror'

I didn't notice any woke. The acting is ok at best. Once again this is not really a horror movie. Maybe a psychological drama? There are really only 2 actors in the majority of the film. Story is bare bones and moves at a glacial pace. This could of easily been a short film. The main character has Agoraphobia but why does she live in basically complete darkness in her apartment. She's a pro video game player whos enters a tournament to win money. Pro tournaments are always played in person at a set location, you can not play online from home, ever. The makers couldn't even be bothered to get this right. Not worth a watch even for gamers.

No wokeness or preaching. Excellent movie.

Really enjoyed

Liked this movie

Silly Skippable Entry in the Godzilla Franchise

No woke. This is just not very good. The acting is ok mostly except by the actors in the monsters suits. The fights are comical this time around.
Godzilla does some weird victory dance? At one point he squares up in a boxing stance complete with foot shuffling and starts throwing 1-2
boxing punches. The movements in general are just off here and it just looks to much like actors in rubber suits. The story is also really weird.
It feels like a standard 50's/60's sci fi movie but with Godzilla shoehorned in. There is very little monster action and it's primarily in the final 20 minutes. The miniature sets don't look as good here either and aren't blended as well with the rest of the FX. This is one that can be
skipped except for the hardcore Godzilla fans.

J.D. Vance is not woke

“Hillbilly Elegy” chronicles J.D. Vance’s upbringing in a struggling, working-class family in Middletown, Ohio, highlighting the challenges of poverty, addiction, and instability, while also emphasizing the resilience and values of his Appalachian roots. I found myself alarmed by J.D. Vance's troubled childhood. Also, there is an inaccuracy in the film: Vance was born in Middletown Ohio, not Appalachian Kentucky. However, there is nothing woke, despite it being a Netflix production.

This movie is a hard, hard watch. It starts out sweet enough with an attempted drowning, then turns sour with no relief until an hour and a half in. As a teen, J.D. was mixed up with drugs, probably a result of his mother being an addict, likely stemming from her father being an alcoholic. Such problems tend to be inherited.

As shown in the film, Vance overcame his troubled childhood and went to Yale. That is a potential red flag. Conservative lawyer from Yale? Bill Clinton, John Kerry, and both Bushes graduated from Yale. Please don't be another Pence. Please don't be a member of the secret society Skull and Bones like both Bushes and Kerry.

The bottom line is that this movie caused me to unexpectedly lose faith in J.D. Vance as Trump's selection for Vice President candidate. Yes, I'm trying to review the movie, not talk politics, but that was my primary takeaway. I come from the same general background as Vance - I have an Appalachian family, and I grew up in the suburbs of Cincinnati, but without any drugs or alcohol in my family, and I also went to a prestigious university. Even our mothers bear some similarity, leaning too hard on a teen son for support. He is who I would be if I had had an absolutely horrible upbringing and childhood friends who were losers instead of nerds.

Cliche, Bland, Unfunny and Woke

Some DEI casting, multiple mixed race couples. A main storyline throughout is a mixed race lesbian couples wedding. Anti white racist comments from a black character. The acting is ok but this suffers the same fate as most modern comedies in that it is cliché and just no funny.
The writing is bland, the story has been done a million times before and there is nothing original here at all. The dialogu is not great
and humor all misses the mark. It's not really so much bad as it is just completely mediocre.

A comedy black hole

This show is so unfunny that if you watch it, not only will you not laugh, but future laughs you would have had elsewhere will be sucked into it and lost forever.

First season woke-free

First season is well made and refreshingly woke free, but the mind virus - no doubt attracted by the show's success - creeps in in the 2nd season. I stopped watching at that point.
