Pha-Q woke's Reviews
A small amount of DEI overrepresentation in general casting. The opening scene with the black couple and Jada Smith being an openly racist
white hating nasty p.o.s. is disgusting. Brandy as the best friend is arguably a DEI hire as her acting is pretty bad. It's all small things
and the movie overall isn't really woke other than that. The writing is a little weaker than the first one with some questionable scenes and
Metcalf's acting isn't very good particularly the last half hour. Still a generally good movie and a worth sequel.

Nothing woke. This still holds up very well. Acting is good, the suspense and fx are well done. The writing is generally great though
there are a few problems its not enough to detract from the overall movie. A great 90's slasher classic.

DEI black boyfriend for the white female lead is a horrible actor and only there for the mixed race couple check mark. The white male security guard has a black daughter. A lot of DEI overrepresentation in general. A large male security guard gets overpowered and manhandled by a tine
petite female. This is a complete mess of a movie. No comedy or horror despite those are the genres it listed in. This is one of those movies
where all the characters are made to act unrealistically and crazy for no reason other than to try to make a odd quirky movie just to be weird.
Despite all the music and product placement it never really feels like it takes place in the 90's either. Just another pretentious indie movie
whos director thinks they are clever.

Once again we have a British movie where the black population is less than 4 percent yet we have a black male character with the only white
male in the movie other than the child being the dead father. Even the fire fighters that show up none are seen or heard talk except for
1 female fire fighter. The acting is average at best the FX are minimal and not very well done. There are hardly any scares with only a few
lame jump scares and loud blaring noises. The creature is only ever seen in very dark or blurry fast moving scenes and the little you do see
of it doesn't look very good and definitely not scary. Very slow moving and boring for the most part.

I didn't notice any woke but I only survived 30 minutes of this abomination. Typical fish out of water with misfit kids story. The acting
is pretty bad espicailly by the kids. They are the biggest problem with this movie. In order for this to work you need to like or at least
be hoping it turns out ok for the kids. These kids have no redeeming value at all. These are the worst p.o.s. little assholes you will ever see.
Within 10 minutes I already hated them and was hoping they would all fall into a wood chipper and be done with. The writing is just garbage and none of the jokes are funny. There is no world where child services would see that house with those appalling living conditions combined
with the disgusting filthy appearance of the kids and not instantly take them away. Complete nonsense.

Gay mixed race brown/white lead couple whos entire story seems to be 'we are gay and life is hard for us' Their acting is by far the worst of the bunch and they are so over the top all over each other obnoxiously super gay. Asian female house sitter/friend fill out the DEI boxes. This is yet another failed horror/comedy. The horror is not scary and more of the silly parody type. The comedy is unfunny awkward eye rolling cringe humor. Parker Posey is actually the best thing about this movie but has hardly any screen time so it's not worth watching just for her scenes.

DEI casting everywhere. Virtually no straight white males to be found. As far as I can remember every single onscreen couple except the first
one is mixed race. At least one gay character that I can remember. Nasty unlikable female head of the company is a terrible actor.
This has every woke buzzword thrown out there you can imagine. Half of this movie is a bad cliché rom com and then they try to shoehorn
in an even more cliché slasher and then dipped the entire thing into the woke toilet for good measure. The dialogue is so bad the entire script feels
like it was written by a woke social media addicted Gen Z who thinks they are so clever. Actually I wouldn't be surprised if this was written
at least partially by A.I. The music is out of place and there is an actual
dress up romcom montage. Then there is the lazy incompetent writing. Why are there loud thundering footsteps when the killer walks like he
weighs 500lbs and is stomp walking, except of course when the script requires him to suddenly appear next to someone then he's a stealthy
ninja. Why is the police station in a major city virtually completely empty of staff. Why when the lights suddenly go out in the station is
there no emergency lighting, and why do the lights then suddenly start flickering on and off for no reason other than needed atmosphere.
It is established this serial killer has been active around the country for several years. The FBI would be in charge of the case and would
be there to take over not local detectives.
Spoiler...........
The killers reveal makes absolutely no sense. Look at the height and build of the killer throughout the movie vs what the killers builds
actually look like, it's not even close. That's not clever that's just bad writing and filmmaking. Also the police IT guy and the detective are what just transferring jobs multiple times at random
all over the country to carry out the murders? The only reason this gets 1 star instead of 0 is for some halfway decent FX. There really is
no reason to watch the garbage.

Nothing woke. This is an average sort of rom com revenge comedy mix. There are some funny moments but there are also some very eye rolling
cringe ones as well. Don't expect any dirty raunchy humor as its only PG so very light hearted pretty clean jokes. Betty white manages
to steal every scene she's in and has some of the funnier jokes in the movie. Overall not bad and maybe worth a one time watch.

Nothing woke. This will definitely not be something that appeals to everyone but I enjoyed it. This is a straight up comedy more so than
a any kind of serious heist movie. Every character is incompetent and it's pretty implausible though I suppose it's never really so ridiculous as to be impossible. The acting and humor for me was great. Though it did deal with local Boston politics and corruption I don't recall there being any mention of specific political affiliation, if so I missed it. If you want a fast paced comedy, heist, caper movie that's just trying to entertain rather than tell a deep thinking story this may do if for you.

Nothing woke. It's basically a Men In Black clone. The acting is decent and the VFX are passable if nothing special. It's a little corny sometimes but it's entertaining enough sci-fi comedy.
