Pha-Q woke's Reviews
If You Like The Others This Is More Of The Same
Nothing woke. About on par with the rest of the franchise. If you like those you will probably like this one. Voice acting is as usual with a decent story and animation. The humor mostly worked if not always laugh out loud at least amusing. Minions again steal most of the scenes.

Maybe A One Time Watch But It Is Woke
Mixed race couple. Token black character is gay with a white partner creating a second mixed race couple. A lot of gay humor and storyline around the gay character. All of the men are screwups while the females are all competent. The acting is actually not bad and the idea is interesting. The humor though just mostly isn't all that funny, though there are some very funny moments they are few. Surprisingly the one saving grace is John Cena who has all the best lines and humorous moments. If not for his character this would be rated much lower.

Race Swapping=Very Woke-Yet Still Watchable
DEI casting. Barry's mom has been race swapped to Spanish making him half Spanish and from a mixed race parents. That is not true to the source. Iris West has been race swapped from red head and white to black creating another mixed race love interest for Barry. Race swapped Supergirl from blonde and white to dark haired Columbian actor. Supergirl also comments "we came to this planet looking for a safe place to live and they put me in a cage" could possibly be an illegal immigration comment. Also it's no surprise her acting is pretty bad as she is an obvious DEI casting. Race swapping characters for DEI is VERY woke hence the 4 rating. However other than that comment I didn't notice anything overly preachy. Iris West part is very small and Barry's mom while a major plot point actually doesn't have a lot of screen time. Supergirl as well has lesser screen time probably due to her poor acting. I actually enjoyed the movie more than I excepted to. This gets a lot of hate but the acting outside
of the DEI is not bad. The story is ok, I mean it's a comic book movie so.... There is a lot of humor and for the most part it's not bad. The
Michael Keaton easter eggs are by far the best part of the whole film. The biggest problem I had was the very hit or miss CG FX.
Some scenes looked incredible while others looked very cheap and fake. The supergirl escape fight in the snow if particular looked terrible.
Also some of the desert finale scenes where pretty bad. Still I found it an enjoyable silly comic book superhero movie despite the
woke aspects.

A Disappointing Return After 10 years
Nothing woke. The first new Godzilla movie after 10 years is disappointing. The good thing is gone are the kids and silly light humor
of the series with a welcome return to more dark serious setting. The acting is ok except by any of the non Japanese actors. The soviet and
U.S. characters are just terrible actors. The Godzilla suit looks pretty good and the actor inside does a good job. The FX are a very mixed bag however. Some look great some not so much. Particularly the miniature sets. They lack detail and just look like obvious fakes during any destructive scenes. That's another problem. This is so slow and boring. Most of the movie takes place in board rooms with
politicians talking. The Godzilla scenes are all very oddly subdued and slow as well. A lot of Godzilla just standing around doing nothing or
slowly shuffling along the streets between buildings without damaging anything around him. There is not a lot of actual destruction going on in this. Most of the Godzilla action takes place in the final 15 minutes or so and the rest is really pretty skippable. Not a good return for Godzilla.

Very Well Made Low Budget Thriller
Nothing woke. Great acting. Very slow burn thriller done well. I originally thought some of the characters were doing stupid things due to writing but it turns out to be part of their character and it hold true throughout the movie so not bad writing. Not a lot of action and will not be for everyone but if you like early Tarantino or Coen brothers movies give it a try.

Average Godzilla Movie To End Showa Era
No woke. Not bad but a step down from Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla. The acting is ok but the FX are a very mixed bag. Some scenes look great some others look very cheap and terrible. The suits also are hit or miss. The monsters still act to human especially with the odd arm movements. There's also some out of place disjointed editing and jumps from scene to scene. The story is the same tired aliens plot from the last several movies. Still a somewhat enjoyable final entry in the Showa era of movies.

Enjoyable for Kids and Adults Alike
No woke. The father is a paranoid idiot but he has a redemption arc and finds himself so I wouldn't call it woke. The voice acting is pretty good and the animation is above average but not great. Story is nothing original but it is well done and some funny characters and moments. Overall I enjoyed it and think it's a worthwhile animated movie.

More Zero Effort Writing
Didn't notice any woke. I'm giving this a 1 only because some of the gator FX where ok. The acting is mediocre and the FX are passable but the writing, my God the writing. This was made by people who have never experienced a hurricane and didn't bother doing any research whatsoever. At the start it is stated a Category 5 is making landfall and a tv clearly shows it's right of the coast of Florida and most of the state is
covered by rain bands already. Keep in mind a Cat 5 is a MINIMUM of 157mph sustained winds. Not counting wind gusts that can be much higher. We are talking downed power lines and trees everywhere. Major home damage and completely leveled buildings. Flying large debris everywhere. Nothing depicted in this is even close to what a cat 5 looks like. The college isn't on lockdown and students are just going about there day. Not likely. Evacuations are still happening with roads full of cars. Again not likely all evacuations would be done by this point. Police are stationed at a blockade and later in the middle of the movie show up at the house in a boat. Nope, once that storm is coming in all emergency services are halted and you are on your own
until it is safe for them to start operations. Huge inconsistency with wind, some scenes the trees are really blowing and others there is no
movement at all. Character is standing outside at one point with her hair completely still. Character is out just casually driving around and looters
are out in boats, in the middle of a cat 5 hurricane. Sure. No storm shutters or boards are put up on any windows and nothing is put away from people yards, everything is just left out to fly around like a missile. This is standard procedure for anyone in FL when a hurricane is coming. Why is she crawling around in the mud under the house when the camera clearly shows there is standing room or at standing hunched over. Character actually out swims alligators even when they have the trajectory advantage over her. You must be kidding. A helicopter rooftop rescue in the middle of a Cat 5 landfall. I mean are they
even trying. This should of been an entertaining creature movie but they just couldn't be bothered with a little research and accuracy.

Funny Fictional Parody
Didn't see anything woke. I may be in the minority here but I thought it was very funny. It's a silly fictional parody and not meant to be a true
to life biopic. The acting is good and there are a ton of easter eggs throughout as well as lots of cameos. It's light stupid fun in a rapid
fire humor sort of way. Some of the jokes don't land but many do and personally I thought it was a lot of fun. Whether or not you like Jerry Seinfeld will probably make a big difference in if you will like this or not.

Finally A Return to Form For The Franchise
No woke. Finally a return to a more serious darker Godzilla. The acting is good and gone are the child actors and silly poor humor. This is a welcome return. More brutal fights and action with some actual blood spray. The story is the usual alien invasion again but it's done rather well. The FX look much better then the last few movies and it' just all around fun again. Skip the last 4 or so and go directly to this one.
