The One That Started It All
No woke. Great 90's monster movie with some comedy. The humor is actually funny. The acting is good. No CG just some good practical
gore fx. Must watch for creature feature enthusiast.

Lives Up To The Hype-Mostly
Nothing woke. Anytime a movie gets so much hype it rarely lives up to it. However this one actually does. Great acting and story progression are well done. This is a little mis-marketed as an action movie though. It's not at all, in fact there is very little action. It's more of a drama, thriller and a really good one. This can be a difficult movie to watch but it is an important story and needs to be told. My only complaint would be the inclusion of the final jungle rescue. While the story for the most part stays very accurate to the true story this part never happened. So why add it at all then? It feels out of place to the rest of the movie. The end of the island operation actually felt like a good conclusion to the story. I never understood why filmmakers feel the need to add on to true stories events that never happened when what did happen was a great story in itself. It's still a great movie and a story that people need to be aware of.

Keaton's Great, Everything Else Not So Much
Asian female police detective is smart and capable while all men around her are morons who she talks down to. She shames a fellow officer for using the term 'guy' instead of inclusive pronouns. Hollywood just can't write actual good female characters. She is the typical woke version, snarky, nasty and just unlikable. The pedophile is of course a nazi white supremacist. In fact pretty much all the police officer characters are pretty badly written and badly acted. The story is well done and directed and all the scenes outside the police are well acted. It's a shame this is brought down by DEI and woke casting. It's still worth watching once in
my opinion.

But Why?.......Just Why?
No woke. A straight up remake of the 2008 movie. Why? What's the point. The acting is ok but the main couple aren't very likable
There are no real scares though, and only a couple of kills that are very tame and no gore or shocking moments. This could of almost
had a PG-13 rating other than a little blood and some language. The main characters continue to do stupid things over and over. The villains are supposed to just be people but seem to have magic powers of some sort as they always know exactly where everyone is at all times and are able to just teleport behind people. In the middle of the forest,
in open areas, without making a sound. Teleporting villains is a major sign of bad, lazy writing.

Overlong Bloated Mess
Every single white person in this movie is a greedy, murdering P.O.S. just out to take advantage of the natives. We are actually told at one point while watching a train full of white people walking through the station that it is 'a sea of evil'. All natives are noble, smart, good people. The acting while mostly good does have a few bad spots. The big problem is it's an overlong, bloated mess of a movie that is just boring as hell in its
preachy racist anti white story. This could have easily been edited down to a 2 hr movie and lost nothing.

More 'Dumb' Zoomer Comedy
Some DEI casting and some feminist nonsense. The majority of astronauts throught history have been men but here it seems most of
the candidates are female. I only made it about 40 minutes and that was enough. The acting is fine and all, Roberts is a good enough actor and capable of doing comedy but this is just not good. It's another one of those 'stupid' comedies except it's just not funny and entirely too stupid and implausible. Dumb comedy works when done right and has been around for ever-Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, Abbot and Costello all made successful careers out of it. Even more recently Adam Sandler and the SNL people built empires around it but it seems like modern writers just can't pull it off.

A Step Down From The First
Canadian made movie with a large amount of DEI. Media good, police corrupt and bad. The little girl is a bit of a Mary Sue and an annoying girl boss type attitude. Also her acting is very bad, no emotional range, no facial expressions, just blank monotone line delivery.
The story is a decent continuation of the first one but despite having 4 times the budget this one actually feels more low budget
than the first. Very disappointing as I actually enjoyed the original.

SyFy Channel Quality
Massive amount of DEI casting in a 5% black France. Lesbian characters. This is typical feminist garbage, where all positions of power are held by females and most main characters are female, and superior to the males. There is virtually no white male characters anywhere to be seen in the entire movie other than a few background ones. The makers of this movie seem to think France is entirely populated with women and minorities. Also not woke but politically motivate is the very preachy environmentalist propaganda. The acting is mostly bad, the CG is cheap and poorly done, the writing and story is unrealistic nonsensical trash. All the characters are just stupid people doing stupid things. This would be right at home on SyFy channel.

Another Middling Comedy
I only made it 45 min into this but the only thing I noticed was a secondary lesbian character. The acting is all fine but the writing is terrible. Effron's character is just annoying and very unlikable. The dialog is bad and again another 'comedy' with no actual funny content. A few amusing moments maybe but that's it. it's not really a terrible movie it's just bland and boring.

Not Woke But Kind of Strange
Nothing really woke. Some mild DEI in the background characters but that's maybe it. The acting is fine and the CG is ok. I'm not
really sure who this is marketed at though. It's too silly for adults and the story and themes is too serious for kids. It's also not really funny, more amusing than anything. It's not really a bad movie it's just something that exists.
