Daly Schaeffer's Reviews
Decent film that is fun to watch
The only "woke" thing in this movie was a quote about gender norms. Other than that, it's a fun movie with a great cast and great writing.

A little woke, but not as bad as you may think
I personally liked this movie. Woke was present but not rampant here, and Jonathan Majors absolutely CRUSHED his role. Give it a shot, you'd actually like it a lot.
The only woke elements that I've found here were-
Ant Man's daughter building the plot device that transports them into the quantum realm because we need more women in stem
In the ending scene, Ant Man is walking past a shop with a pride flag in the window. Never mentioned or explained, blink and you miss it.
Kang is race-swapped; as I said before in my review of The Batman, usually race-swapping is bad. Not with Majors! I loved his performance.
Wokeness-0.5/5
Overall-4/5

A little woke, but amazing show.
I never played the games but I am so invested in this show. There is a bit of wokeness, but not enough to make me mad. Pedro Pascal is the MVP of the show as joel, and I can't wait for the next episode!

Why do you all say this is woke?
This film is fantastic. Just fantastic. the only "woke" thing in this movie is when catwoman said the city was ran by "white, privledged assholes" which in her defense was correct. Going deeper-
Robert Pattinson delivered a 100/10 performance in his first stint as Batman. Pattinson's batman is cold on both sides, unlike the previous actors. In the few scenes his backstory was ever mentioned, Matt Reeves was able to fully develop his Batman and make you feel as if you were actually there.
Paul Dano genuinely scared the shit out of me as The Riddler. He is like Heath Ledger's Joker; he had his role down to a science and executed it perfectly.
Usually, race-swapping is done to please the woke mob, but not for Jeffrey Wright's Detective Gordon. I liked this take on a younger Gordon, not yet the commissioner. One of the only times race-swapping has benefitted a movie. My favorite Chief/Detective/Commissioner Gordon.
Zoe Kravitz was absolutely fantastic as Selina Kyle/Catwoman. Like Pattinson, in the short time her backstory was elaborated on, they developed her so well.
Feminism does not exist in Gotham City. literally 99% of the women in this film are damsels in distress, except for Catwoman, who is supposed to be a femme fatale.
To add the icing on the cake, every scene is beautifully shot. The script is so good you can take any line out of this movie, put it on one of those motivational quote things, and it would work perfectly.
Writing-10/10
Casting-10/10
Acting-10/10
Action-10/10
Cinematography-100/10
Wokeness-1/10
Must watch.

Come for david harbour, stay for leguizamo, leave wanting more
I would give this a woke free, but the only thing relatively woke in it is an interracial couple. It is not mentioned at all nor is the classic black people are oppressed undertone that comes with it. 5/5 my favorite christmas movie ever.

Woke because it had to be.
I loved this movie so much! Sure there was a ton of woke, but it had to do that. The whole point of the black panther movies are to have a black superhero. If you dont mind the woke, great watch.

WOKE FREE MASTERPIECE!!!!
I went to see this movie with my family over thanksgiving and we all loved it! No woke at all, just murder, mystery, and Daniel Craig. A breath of fresh air for people like us.

Ok hear me out-
There are a couple woke elements, but it doesn't ruin the overall story like it has with disney. There is a gay character, the subtle twang of feminism, and the occasional "black people are oppressed". FANTASTIC show nonetheless.
