Excellent bizarre humor

It’s a cartoon packed with all kinds of characters exploding with colors and completely nonsensical shapes… and somehow it’s not woke. That’s it. That’s the whole thing.

It’s just exaggerated bizarre humor, one meme after another, trying to squeeze a laugh out of you in every possible way, mostly by making the characters interact in the most awkward and uncomfortable ways imaginable.

Highly recommended if you enjoy a good dose of absurd, exaggerated humor.

⚠ Not for children.

Enjoy!

Solid, fun action flick

Happy to report it’s not woke at all and it’s entertaining from start to finish. It plays around with familiar action-movie elements, but it handles them well all the way through.

No woke content. There’s a bit of diversity here and there, but nothing forced. Great movie to just kick back and enjoy.

Enjoy it!

Straight-up popcorn movie

This isn’t woke and I went in ready to roll my eyes, thinking I was about to get smacked with a giant diversity lecture and a bunch of girlboss energy telling the male leads what to do. Yeah, there’s diversity in it, but it doesn’t feel forced. And to my surprise (a good one), it never turns into that. Sure, there are a couple moments where you’re like “STFU!” but it fits the story and doesn’t feel preachy.

Fun action flick, very 90s buddy-cop energy, Lethal Weapon vibes. It’s not top-tier or anything, but it gets the job done if you just want to switch off and kill some time.

Surprisingly funny

A unique indie silent film, nothing like the usual, with a touch of classic film noir and some cartoony humor thrown in.

Great for all ages.

Absolutely nothing woke about it.

Instead of raising the bar, they somehow lowered it even more (if that’s even possible compared to the second movie, obviously).

Which brings me to the fans and defenders of this garbage who basically act like the second one never even existed 🤷🏻‍♂️ because not even they defend it. LOL. So there’s that, kind of incomprehensible, but totally in line with the movie’s level of writing.

It’s entertaining if you watch it just to have a good time with friends and treat it like one of those horror movies that are so bad they end up being funny.

⚠ SPOILER ALERT ⚠
Nothing is redeemable: the father-son dialogue happening during the initiation ritual, the obese zombies who can only afford to eat worms, the whole broken-family drama where, while the mom is dying of cancer, the husband cheats on her with the town’s schoolteacher, a mom who goes from bedridden to suddenly hiking with her son, the zombie’s dick that looks like Jason Momoa, an infected woman giving birth where we’re shown that women support each other no matter what and that a zombie apocalypse doesn’t matter at all. A Voldemort knockoff covered in iodine who collects bones and sees the mother as a nice skull to crown his masterpiece, a son who ends up climbing the pile of bones to place his mother’s skull on top (not before giving it a goodbye kiss) and a finale where the Power Rangers show up swinging nunchucks.
FOR GOD’S SAKE!!! WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST WATCH HAHAHAHAHA.

A parade of absurd nonsense

Pff. What a complete waste of time watching this movie.

Is it woke? Like I’ve read in other reviews, I think we need a different meter to measure how weird movies are. So I’m cranking up the “wokeness” score based on sheer weirdness.
In terms of awareness, yeah! Since it talks about the fashion world inside Hollywood, but in a twisted, openly masturbatory way.

I’m not going into more detail. If you want to watch a slow, surreal movie with bad acting and a terrible script, this one’s for you.

P.S. Another movie that, if I could rate it below 20%, I absolutely would.

Top-tier sci-fi

This is one of the best contemporary sci-fi series out there. They’re working on a second season, but it’s hard to know where that will go. For now, I can say the first season isn’t woke and it’s absolutely worth watching. It also works as a self-contained story, so even if the next season doesn’t live up to it, the first one wraps things up pretty well.

Highly recommended.

Enjoy it!

Just a bad show

Woke?
Not really. But let’s be honest, The Muppets were never exactly top-tier. This time they roll out three guests straight out of the woke mob, and they barely contribute anything beyond a few comments about the show itself. It’s insanely self-referential for something that’s supposed to feel like “let’s see if this works,” yet it mostly comes off as a parade of people who clearly paid to be there or maybe cleaned some money to get a seat.
At this point, who knows? It’s genuinely hard to tell what Hollywood is even aiming for anymore. But the real low point is casting someone like Maya Rudolph and framing her as if she were genuinely appealing for this kind of show. That’s hitting rock bottom

Not as Good as the First

After rewatching the first movie and immediately starting this one, it became clear that some things didn’t quite add up. While it may not be fully woke, there are certain elements that feel noticeably forced.

⚠ SPOILER ALERT ⚠

Even though the first movie follows a simple “get from point A to point B” structure (despite having other elements mixed in), there was never a pause for reflection to really explore the romantic relationship between the father and the mother.

In this sequel, we suddenly see Morena Baccarin’s character -with no real explanation of her background or work history- sitting in a chair in the main decision-making room. At the same time, the protagonist from the previous movie Gerard Butler (whose profession we do know) is out searching for spare parts, risking his life alone, also with very little explanation. While that is clearly a narrative device and helps justify the father’s health condition, the real issue is how it’s handled in the film later.

In the first movie, that kind of "moments" felt somewhat plausible and were occasionally resolved using a “just in time” approach. Here, they overdo it and lean on it constantly, which ends up lowering the overall quality of the movie.

Bottom line: it’s not on the same level as the first one, and while the woke elements aren’t obvious at first glance, there’s a small dose of them injected in a very roundabout and forced way.

I had to rewatch this movie in order to watch the sequel and I can safely say this first one is not woke.

For the time it was made, there were already plenty of similar movies, but this one takes a fairly realistic approach → within the limits of its characters, since some of them have traits or constraints you may or may not like. I won’t name anyone to avoid spoilers.

That’s it.

Good cinematography and an entertaining watch.
