Jon Loder's Reviews
Third movie in franchise and still no woke.
I don't think this was as good as the first one. It's definitely better than MIB-II. This one has some time travel issues similar to Back to the Future. There's still no noticeable woke agenda. It's just a fun comic book based movie.

No woke. A little overdone.
It seems like this screenplay was rushed. It got a bit too weird, like escaping MIB Headquarters by being flushed. It still had the good chemistry between Tommy Lee and Will.

No woke. Entertaining.
If there's any woke agenda, I missed it. It's based on a comic book series I've never read so I can't comment on that. Tommy Lee and Will Smith have good chemistry. It's outlandish and mostly humorous. I think Vincent D'Onofrio stole the show as the Edgar suit wearing bug. The special effects are good. It's worth watching.

Lots of action with a PG rating... no woke at all
No woke. No DEI casting. Great acting.
The action was over-the-top, John Wick style, but it worked. There's a lot of old-school stunt work. The only girl-kicks-butt was a mamma-bear situation. Spoiler: she got knocked out by the dude. The story is somewhat predictable. The trailer shows the majority of the story. Don't look for anything deeper than a fun action flick.
It's a fun watch. Enjoy.

Classic Noir - Good mystery story.
As with almost anything made before the 1970's, no woke. The story is good. It was before the days of plot twists being so predicted that they're no longer twists, but expectations. Sam Spade is a great character. I can see why Bogart is such a cherished part of old cinema. It has been in my watch list for months, but I recently watched it because it's leaving streaming soon. I'm glad I took the time.

Bacon free version - Not quite as good
Fred Ward did a great job carrying on the story. It's very similar to the first one. It's dark humor that's almost as good as the original.

Dark humor, no woke.
Great chemistry between Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon. Sometimes, it's hard for me to ignore the impossible physics and enjoy the fiction, but I somehow managed on this one. A half-ton creature simply cannot burrow underground in the Nevada desert faster than a man can run. I'm a surveyor in Nevada. I have to dig in that stuff.
No woke, just dark humor and adventure.

Hilarious, borderline raunchy, situation humor.
Lots of funny. I didn't notice any woke agenda.
The premise is that the Extra Terrestrial is just a regular guy with a sense of humor. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost wrote and stared in this. Seth Rogan voiced the alien. I may not have watched it if I knew that beforehand. I admit, he did a great job. The physical humor is great slapstick. I'm not a fan of raunch-comedy, but, like I said, it's borderline. I think it's an enjoyable watch.

Kind of like Guy Ritchie without cuss words... and more funny.
I used to read Dave Barry's columns. He's a clever writer. His humor translated well into this screenplay. All of the characters are quirky. It's got dimwit criminals and cops. It's an all-star cast that came together well.
If there's any woke, I missed it.

This one is an enigma. It's hard to rate.
This movie is about politics. The protagonist is an Independent with good intentions. He's trying to be the next mayor of Los Angeles. A kidnapper goes after his son. His convictions get put to the test. Any explanation would be a spoiler. He's in a mixed-race marriage. That's an element in the story. He refuses to hire an illegal because it would be a bad example to set as a law-abiding mayoral candidate. The majority of this movie's worth is in the epilogue. The kidnapping is resolved. The secrets come out. The election is over. The spin is on.
It's hard to rate this one because it defines political corruption without bringing any polarizing issues into focus. It doesn't seem to have a red/blue agenda. It seems to be a statement on the cesspool that is politics. It's not a particularly enjoyable movie. It is thought-provoking.
I look forward to other reviews. This one is complex.
