Not Bad At All
No woke. Watched the original Japanese version. The story is a ok as is most of the acting. This is a lighter more humurous version
of Godzilla. The fx are ok but the close ups on the monsters faces look strange. The two monsters only actually fight each other
in the final 10 minutes and it is unfortuanlly a bit lackluster. Still though it's a big piece of movie history and is still enjoyable.

Not As Good As The OG, But Still Watchable
No Woke. I watched the original Japanese version of the this not the butchered American one. Acting is again good and the highlight is the Godzilla Anguirus fight in Osaka. The miniatures look incredible and the destruction is well done. However the actual fight is not so great from an FX standpoint. I love how its an animalistic scratching and biting fight. But it's shot in a slightly sped up frame and it just looks weird. The story is a little strange as well, and why is everyone in such a light joking mood all the time. This is a very dark grim story, much like the original. The finale is also a letdown with Godzilla basically just standing still for the final 20 minutes while there are reused and repeated shots of jets shooting missiles into the mountainside. It's disappointing but still a
very watchable film.

A True Classic
Nothing Woke. The one that started it all holds up amazingly well. Sure the fx are obviously miniatures and a guy in a suit but it's done very well for the time and is not distracting at all. The miniature sets are very well constructed and blended in with the action. The acting is good and of course the story is tragic. An absolute classic and a must watch.

Not Bad But The Ending Brings It Down a Notch
Only woke is some DEI casting. This will appeal more to people who have taken care of elderly family members. This is very true the mindset and attitudes of some of them. It also very well acted and the humor works very well. The ending unfortunately really brings the movie down a notch. The writing and depiction of the phone scammers is so against reality and how modern scammers work it's just terrible. I won't go into spoilers but it's so ridiculous it hurts the movie overall to some degree. I was going to give it a 4 up until that ending. Still might be worth a 1 time watch despite that.

Bloody, Violent, Hilarious Fun
This does have some of the girl boss, nasty, aggressive femenisist b.s. in it. However they are villains and end up dealt with appropriatly so
not sure it's really a woke thing. This is not a movie for everyone. It is a hyper violent, gory, unrealistic revenge action movie with dark
comedic elements. It's ridiculous over the top action and personally I found it very entertaining, but as I said probably a limited appeal.

Season 1 Great, Season 2 Garbage
Season 1-0 woke and a 4 overall
I saw season 1 several years ago so I don't remember everything but I don't recall any woke. Just great acting, atmosphere and cinematography. Creepy well done story.
Season 2-4 woke and a 2 overall
Every single white American is a horrible, evil, racist people here. Every single one. All Japanese are good, loyal, noble people. The Italians, and Germans in the US are ignored here completely. Also ignored is the fact that actual Japanese spy were found over here in the US. The internment camps were wrong, no question but the biased one sided revisionist history is just as much B.S. Also there is no shock, or sadness or any reaction at all by the Japanese here when Pearl Harbor happens. They just act like the US response is just evil for no reason and the attack on Pearl Harbor wasn't a horrible thing by their native country. There is also a lot of inaccuracies with dates, timelines and history in general. The acting is not so good by most of the characters. There are time jumps all the time throughout the season with no indication a jump has happened until a character says or does something and you suddenly realize it. The American head of the camp is a cartoonish caricature of a villain whos bad for no real reason other than 'evil racist'. There is no continuity to anything, things just happen that make no sense, characters seem to change personalities from 1 episode to the next. Completely implausible things happen that just make absolutely no sense. The horror aspect isn't bad and there are some creepy moments and good atmosphere but it's no enough. Watch season 1 pretend season 2 never happened and hope season 3 is better.

Started Somewhat Ok, Then Went Full Woke Trash
Huge amount of DEI. Modern Feminism. Weak males. Mixed race couples. Multiple gender and race swapped characters from source material. All changed from white males of course. By season 4 pretty much everyone is gay and hooking up with everyone else.
The acting isn't terrible for what it is. The first season is the best with the second watchable and the third not very good. After 3 it was cancelled and picked up by Netflix for season 4-6. While woke is always present
season 4 on is where it went through the roof. Police are bad. One episode in season 4 is devoted to terrorist BLM police racist
propaganda. While always having humor the later seasons really just turn into a back and forth between sappy soap opera relationship
nonsense with everyone whining and crying, and terrible unfunny comedy. There's also very little actual over arching story through out,
the series with some of similar storylines just keep repeating. What started out as an interesting supernatural show turns into a pathetic
soap with all the males whining and crying about women that have no interest in them. It's like they went for the sad bored housewives demo.
Even more proof is Lucifer is pretty much half naked at some point in almost every episode in season 4.

Great Movie That Still Holds Up Today
Nothing woke. Great epic movie. Well acted and excellent cinematography. Top notch FX and action scenes. Great story. The only
real complaint is the use of the dropped frame slow motion. I hate that effect, it looks terrible and adds nothing to the action. Luckily it's not used too much so while annoying it's able to be ignored. Must watch part of cinematic history.

Better Than Expected.
Only woke is DEI checkboxes in the casting. The original team was 3 men and 1 woman so that is correct. I'm not sure why they felt the need to leave his wife off the team other than to get another checkmark DEI POC in the casting. Well acted and cinematography. The core story is pretty accurate but there is the usual inclusion of a lot of scenes that never happened, and they are all pretty obvious. Also some unnecessary changes to the story that didn't need to be done. Still a good story overall and a well made movie worth watching in my opinion.

No Woke. Great Fun Movie
Nothing woke. Excellent movie with good acting, story and FX. The story progression makes sense, the writing is good and it keeps with the feeling of the original show. This is just a really fun movie. Here is how to do good female characters. They are actual capable characters without being nasty, aggressive Mary Sue's and the Male characters aren't watered down betas to make them look better. Several scenes where female characters fight back and defend themselves against a larger male opponent (that's right 1 not 5 or more at the same time). They use their size and speed to their advantage and use the environment around them to find a weapon to use to get the upper hand. One of the better new movies I've seen in a while.
