Such a shame, and not.
It’s totally woke.
Honestly, it’s not surprising at all. John Cena already sold his soul to the woke crowd from the moment he got pathetically drunk with that Bud Light in episode 2 of Peacemaker Season 2. That was pretty much the point where he shows that he joined the woke mafia.
Still, I gave the movie a chance and watched the whole thing.
I’m not gonna break down every detail, but it ticks every single box on "the message” checklist. The black brother character hits all the forced cliches that could’ve been funny if they weren’t so painfully obvious. Basically ripping off movies like What About Bob? (1991) or Twins, where a successful, put-together guy (Cena as a real estate agent) has his perfect life destroyed by a chaotic, clingy, no-filter dude. Except here, the straight white guy is portrayed as this insecure mess, which completely contradicts the successful life he’s supposedly built.
At times it felt like the script was written by AI instead of actual writers.
Totally disposable.

Totally worth it!
Man, what a pleasant surprise. Finally found a comedy that actually makes fun of inclusion and feminism by going back to those politically incorrect jokes, no filters, no worrying about who it offends… but done really well, not ridiculous or forced.
First full season with zero woke elements!
Can’t wait for season two.
100% recommended.
Enjoy!

One of the best dramatic movies of the 21st century so far
One of the best biographical films I've seen in a long time. It's totally deserving of any award where all the actors pat each other on the back, but it probably won't even get nominated because it’s about the guy who straight-up called some actors "Niggers". Actors who, obviously are part of the woke mafia and got all butt-hurt like idiots.
Yeah, this is the movie, and this is the dude who did that.
An excellent person, an excellent biographical story.
100% RECOMMENDED.
No woke stuff.
P.S.: I hope it wins a ton of awards, it totally deserves them.

I must’ve watched a totally different movie called War Machine than the one the other comment is talking about. Who knows, maybe that’s the case and I really did see another film, because the one I watched was one of those that I wish had gotten a proper theatrical release so I could’ve gone to see it at the cinema.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen action sci-fi that’s purely made to entertain at this level.
There’s no “diversity saves the day” stuff at all. There’s only one woman in the whole movie (who interacts with the protagonist), and she’s not a girlboss, not butch (but she’s not feminine either). She’s bald, but it fits the role perfectly. She’s not going around lecturing or moralizing everyone… and I don’t want to spoil anything, but what happens after she intervenes has nothing to do with her!!!
It’s a really, really good action/sci-fi movie!
I highly recommend it.
Enjoy!

When I sat down to watch this movie, I was fully braced for it to come loaded with all the injected diversity crap, just like the last two Mortal Kombat games where Ed Boon (and his "diverse" dev team) turned the whole thing into what I call Mortal WOKEmbat. Even though I’d read and heard some good things about the movie, I was still super skeptical, so I watched it with really low expectations.
What I got was that weird mix I’ve seen in reviews of other films: there are moments where you’re like “Damn, this is actually really good,” and then others where you start wondering if staring at a blank wall would be a better use of your time. Basically, I’ve learned to watch movies with this calm, apathetic vibe where I just go “Okay, this part’s solid… but that part? Nah.” I won’t get into details because I don’t want to drop spoilers.
The movie has some really impressive special effects. The story is better than the last one, but it’s still not enough to make it a genuinely good movie overall. I was thinking about catching it in theaters and I’m really glad I didn’t, because it’s not completely free from "the message". It’s not shoved down your throat, but it’s still not totally out of the claws of that unnecessary change philosophy either.
Minor spoiler → It feels like a 21st-century movie with 90s-style editing that just didn’t know how to properly wrap things up at the end.
It’s decent if you just want to look at cool effects and colorful lights. Not much more than that.

Okay, I started watching this one with zero expectations, and honestly, it was pretty easy for me to rate it for this site. Right from the beginning, the protagonist kicks off with that heavy moralizing: the classic "this is what you should do, and this is what you shouldn't" stuff you see in militant-style writing that tries to lecture you on how to behave. But the character quickly slams into reality, and that actually made me want to keep watching.
It's not a high-quality movie by any means. It’s got a ton of plot holes, but it’s decent enough to just kick back and kill some time with.
Is it woke? Yeah, it is. But not in that unbearable, preachy, "let me educate you" way. The main character is a messed-up person, and you're not really supposed to identify with him.
As for the quality: This is obviously subjective, but for me it’s a pretty mediocre popcorn flick. Some parts are actually immersive and make you think (if they’d gone deeper with it, it would’ve been way better), and other parts are funny. Though you’re not sure if they meant it to be or not that way. I wouldn’t recommend it because there’s nothing really new or fresh here, but it’s watchable for a one-time viewing.

For fans of the original game
The premise honestly caught my attention, and that's what made me give it a shot, but it's pretty clear this movie was made for a specific audience, and I'm not really one of them.
No woke stuff in there.

It could’ve been a good series
What could’ve been an excellent show, they completely threw it in the trash.
SPOILERS:
They had the perfect casting that any Spider-Man Noir fan could dream of. Nicolas Cage was absolutely perfect for the role. BUT NO: Why give the fans what they actually want when we can shove in "the message" by cramming in a fat “body positive” chick who lectures and moralizes the alpha male of the series, telling him what he can and can’t do????
Like Rings of Power, the Amazon producers decided to pull the same shit again.
Fuck u AMAZON and all the Sony producers who suck three dicks and don’t give a flying fuck about what the fans want.
No. Just no.

Another opportunity thrown under the train
Coming straight from Odenkirk’s production company, I was actually hopeful it wouldn’t be like the last Nobody 2. Once again, you really can’t trust anything in the entertainment world, you gotta watch it yourself.
And just like with the first NOBODY, I thought they’d play it safe and ditch all the woke stuff and DEI bullshit (well, not that the first one was perfect, but it was watchable).
Nope… not even close.
But here’s the thing: the movie starts off promising. The first 20/30 minutes introduce the characters and it feels like it’s gonna be a straight-up dumb action/comedy where they just kill everything that moves. For a few moments it even tries to be that… but then the obvious woke writing kicks in and just ruins the whole thing.
In the end it’s just another completely skippable movie. I was really hoping it wasn't like that. It has its moments buuuut
You’re honestly better off watching any old-school action/comedy classic you’ve been saving for. If you’re in the mood for that kind of vibe, I recommend go do that instead.

A total letdown
The premise is actually really strong: a post-apocalyptic world where a virus killed almost all men, leaving just one guy alive. Could’ve been a fascinating story about society collapsing and rebuilding.
Instead, it’s a total letdown. They ignore the big picture and focus on boring personal dramas, love triangles, and petty bullshit.
The main character is especially awful. They turned him into the dumbest, most unlikeable idiot possible. You root against him from episode one.
On top of that, it’s loaded with heavy-handed woke propaganda. Almost every man is portrayed as garbage or irrelevant, while women are shown as superior. There are constant cheap shots at conservatives and men in general. One scene even had a trans guy saying men “earned” being hated. That was the last straw.
Bad pacing, weak writing, flat acting, and almost zero interesting world-building.
Massive wasted potential. Just another infuriating, preachy show that deserves to be cancelled.
Not worth watching.
