Fun Big Budget Take On a Fairy Tale
Nothing woke. This is the typical big budget summer CG fest that is perfectly enjoyable in a turn your brain off kind of way. The acting is all fine and the story is a good enough take on the fairy tale. The cg on the giants can be a little off and they don't look that great but considering this is from 2013 it didn't bother me that much. It's a fun silly loud movie and can be enjoyed as such.

Not As Bad As I Expected
So I fully expected this to be very woke and would hate it. I am surprised to say it really isn't very woke. The only really woke aspect is the DEI black rascist female CIA agent. While there were a couple black CIA agents in the 1970's as this takes place in 1969 this is highly unlikely much less a female agent. No surprise her acting is also the worst of the bunch. Also she is the only 'good' character in the group of agents. The white males turn out to be Nazis. There is also the racist use of the term
'cracker' by the black CIA agent for a white male. This being acceptable but the 'N' word not is woke. The rest of the acting is pretty
good. I don't see the Helena character as woke either, she is not perfect, she is not over powered, and is rescued by Indy on several occasions. Replacing the previously established character of Indy's son I believe is more of an issue with Shia LaBeouf self imploding as a person. I found the storyline to be more inline with the Indiana Jones legacy than Crystal Skulls aliens nonsense. This does unfortunately suffer the same problems as that film with the overuse of poorly done greenscreen and CG FX. It all looks too filtered, clean and fake when compared with the OG trilogy. Still overall I think its the better of the 2 newer movies and worth a watch though still an unnecessary sequel.

Surprisingly Watchable and Not Woke
This is not woke. Offhanded comment about climate change makes it a little political but not woke. An enjoyable comedy apocalypse story. Good acting, cinematography and creature designs. Generally good CG though some of the creatures look a little off but it wasn't enough to bother me. Though the male lead is a useless bumbling character at the beginning he does make a character progression and find himself and becomes the hero in the end. No Feminism. Only noticed a couple of background or secondary characters. Teens living in a commune? Nope not there, never happened. It's survivors of all ages living in bunkers.

Very Woke, Yet Somewhat Watchable
Every woke thing you can imagine is here. DEI, gay and lesbians, feminism, over powered 90lb females beating up on males twice
their size, inferior men, mixed race couples and probably some I forgot. That being said the first 3 seasons are actually well written and worth watching. Season 4,5 look like they took a budget slash and it starts to get cheap, also the writing gets really stupid. Some of the acting as well looks like they just kind of gave up. Still if your a Sci-Fi fan and can get past the crazy amount of woke it might be worth watching.

Great But Not For Young Kids
Nothing woke. Good voice acting and beautiful animation. This is probably the weirdest of the Miyazaki movies and not for everyone. Also probably not for young kids. Still a good movie but it is different and can be hard to follow.

Pointless Nonsense.
Pretentious arthouse trash at it's worst. This is just a whole lot of nothing. No plot, no dialog, no comedy, nothing. How this cost 1 million to make is incredible. It's just 4 people in makeup wondering around the woods acting like idiots. It's a film student project gone bad. Why hire name actors to be in this, any random person could of done it. There is no comedy whatsoever, not even a little. It is impossible to watch this and not see actors in makeup on the screen. All the movements, the way they walk their reactions, everything is just way to human and unbelievable. The only positive is the background scenery and cinematography are beautiful.

Still More Unfunny Comedy
Checks most DEI boxes. Anti Male comments. Trump bad comments. The Tanner/Politician character is just there to be a Leftist mouthpiece.
This is another 'comedy' without any funny content. Full of unlikable annoying characters. The acting is actually pretty good but the writing again is garbage. As soon as you recognize the political bent of the movie the killer is obvious and the ending is as stupid as you might expect. Also I don't know if it's just the way it was filmed or if it's just bad fx, but all the exterior and outdoor shots look terrible and very obviously appear to be greenscreen fake backgrounds.

Another Annoying Unfunny Woke 'Comedy'
DEI hires, Gay characters, interracial love interest. The real problem here again is it's just not funny. It's annoying and the characters are unlikable. The writing is bad and dumb and none of the characters are relatable, funny or likable in any way.

Average Omen Ripoff
I didn't notice any woke. Basically an Omen ripoff. Good acting and gore fx, though the gore is barely there until the final 20 mins. This is another modern horror that relies way to much on cheap jump scares and loud noises, there's no real scares to be found. At only 90 mins it is so slow and boring it feels twice as long as it is. Of course the church and religion is bad again.

Better Than Anything From Disney
I didn't notice anything woke. Good animation and actually pretty funny. The voice acting was well done and it was more entertaining than I expected. Actual good themes and message with no ideology, unlike anything from Disney now. You should definitely check this one out.
