Pha-Q woke's Reviews
I Enjoyed It But I'm Not Really Sure Why
2 Lesbian characters. A comment about 'toxic masculinity'. Not overly woke or preachy. This is another film that is not for everyone. The acting is pretty bad. It's basically an 80's slasher with most of it from the point of view of the killer. This results in long shots over the should of walking slowly through the woods or standing and watching people. This is not action packed, but than again
most slashers from the 80's were fairly slow by todays standards. I also think the decision to shoot in fullscreen instead of widescreen
hurts the film. It makes it seem cheaper and more amateur than it already does. The victims are extremely unlikable and that doesn't help either. The gore and FX are very well done with practical instead of CG and works wonderfully. There isn't much scary though since you always know where the killer is and the other characters are so unlikable you really don't care about them. My 4 star rating is probably a little generous but I enjoyed it for what it was and will see the inevitable sequel.

Why Is This Nonsense So Popular
How is this getting woke free ratings? Large amount of DEI. Multiple girl bosses. Only 1 white main male character surrounded by DEI casting. This in not counting the white pilot who is of course unlikable and killed quickly for being an idiot. Actually all male characters not just the white ones, are nothing more than comedy relief sidekicks. All positions of leadership and power are held by females. The acting is ok but the dialog is terrible. This entire movie is 1 giant corny, cheesy, eye rolling disaster. The story is cobbled together nonsense with inconsistencies
everywhere. The highlight of this should be giant monster action and great visuals. Sadly if fails there as well. Everything looks just
so fake, like a video game. It's too bright, glossy, shiny and clean. Nothing looks real. Kong acts too human in mannerisms and thought
process. They all do actually, this supposed to be a giant monster movie, you know animals. Not giant monsters acting like humans
The human integration looks like it was all done on a giant empty set with nothing but green screen. This weird effect was used
with blurring around the edges and backgrounds of shots that looks awful and makes it look even more fake. The characters are unlikable and the humor doesn't work and isn't funny, just bad. What was the point of the Kong sore tooth gag? Why the hell would you replace it with an implant? What's the point? It's ridiculous. Why does everything have to be some stupid joke now, nothing is serious. Giant monster movies shouldn't be a dumb comedy as a priority. So there are giant monsters on the surface causing death and hundreds of million of dollars in destruction regularly and everyone is fine with it? Constant rebuilding and money aren't a problem? Why would life continue as normal with no concerns about this at all? It's stupid. Kong is now some kind of survivalist Rambo type setting traps and leading his enemies
into them? WTF was that? Kong gets augmented with a transformers/Hellboy hand and Godzilla gets....the power of Pink. Sigh. This movie desperately wants to be a Marvel superhero movie and it just doesn't work. Godzilla 2014, skull island and King of the monsters are way better movies and understood what these movies are supposed to be. They were dark and more serious with a constant hint of dread, as it should be. This is just bright, shiny silly garbage for kids. Go watch Godzilla Minus One instead, that movie destroys this nonsense.

Typical Woke Netflix Show
The first couple of seasons aren't too bad. Some humorous moments and decent acting but then the acting and writing goes to hell. The sister who has a boyfriend in the beginning suddenly gets turned into a lesbian and the show of course has to focus more and more on that character. Turns out the actor playing her part is no surprise a 'non-binary' they/them idiot. So you then identify yourself as sexless and multiple people. Yup mentally ill. All the characters become extremely annoying unlikable people and it just turns into the usual woke trash. Also the typical actors in there 20's trying to play teens and it is very obvious they aren't.

Terrible Childish Godzilla Entry
No woke. This is a silly Godzilla entry for kids only. The story is nonexistent. The acting is not good and its virtually all kids. Some of the creature designs aren't too bad but the FX and fights are not great. There's really no reason to watch this one. It's like a weird kids movie that shoehorned Godzilla in to try for a quick cheap payday.

Silly But Fun Godzilla Movie
No woke. Heavy on action, both Kaiju and otherwise. Lots of giant monsters action if that's what you want. Good acting and the action
is well done. The story is a bit weird but it's not too bad. The monster suits mostly look good with a few odd exceptions. The minature
sets look great though the toy vehicles are obvious and not well done. The final monster fight is a blast and fun to watch. You really can't go wrong with this one if you like Godzilla or any of the Japanese Kaiju movies.

One Of The Best and A Must Watch Classic
No woke. One of the best heist movies of all time. Excellent acting and writing. It can come across as a little drama heavy at times
and has that very 90's feel that some won't like or 'get'. Contains one of the best if not the best shootout scenes in cinematic history
for firearm accuracy, sound effects and legitimacy overall, worth watching for that scene alone. So many good actors make appearances
in this, and a must watch in my opinion.

Not a Good Entry For The Godzilla Franchise
No woke. This is a very silly Godzilla movie. The story is bare bones. The acting is actually pretty good but that's about it. The Godzilla suit looks silly, especially the face. The antics from JR. are childish and dumb. The fights are basic. This one can easily be passed up.

Surprisingly Good
I didn't notice anything woke. Very interesting story that seems to keep very close to the true one. I was surprised I actually enjoyed it. The acting is great and the period is well represented. I originally thought that Travers being such a horrible person was going to turn into annoying smarmy girl boss feminism but there are many hours of tapes of the actual meetings and conversation and it turns out she was just an awful miserable person to everyone around her. I thought is was funny and well worth a watch.

Terrible Nonsensical Writing.
Some DEI background characters and 1 main character. Mixed race couple. Both males are villains or incapable/lesser characters. The acting
is ok except for the older female character. She's not very good. The CG is so-so. The story is complete nonsense and the writing is awful. Nothing makes sense here when any thought is put into it.
Spoilers-
The one character says he's been trapped there for over 8 months. He's shown trapping
1 bird. The are able to start fires somehow to cook it but how are you sustaining enough food? No wildlife is shown. No water source at all
appears to be present for drinking. What about bathing? They don't look anywhere near rough enough for no bathing. What about toilet?
No change of clothes or the ability to wash them. They should be in terrible shape. They state the rules one so which is don't turn your
back to the window. They immediately and repeatedly do so. They somehow magically have a long rope strong enough to support a person. How did this place get built with all the materials in the middle of nowhere? How is the generator still working and with fuel without
maintenance and refills after 20 years? Why did the creature need help escaping when she was there from the beginning and would of known
the path and location of the means to escape? Why was Daniels hair so short and no facial growth if it's been eight months. The writing is abysmal nonsense.

Excellent If a Bit Over The Top
I didn't notice any woke. The female character was not the usual feminist and the black characters were not out of place as the film takes place in Africa. Great acting and FX. The story is close the real one though way over the top. The humor works and the action scenes are well done. It's more of a Kingsman exaggerated type movie but I enjoyed it for what it was.
