Pha-Q woke's Reviews
About On Par With The First One
Only woke is too much DEI hires in the secondary characters. This is maybe a little better than the first one but not much. Acting is ok with some notable bad actors in the background characters-this makes sense considering the DEI. The story is ok, the movie does take place in the dark a lot so it can be hard to make some of the action out. The highlight is the good kills and well done blood and gore fx. Basically whatever you thought of the first one this is close to the same.

Exactly What You Would Expect From Modern PG-13 Horror
Huge amount of DEI casting, checks most boxes of varieties and colors. Gay and lesbian characters, mixed race couples. Generic done a thousand times story, annoying characters, some of the acting is really bad. Another PG-13 horror that relies heavily on cheap jump scares and loud noises. Every bad horror cliché imaginable and a lot of mediocre CG. Another victim of terrible writing. How do these college kids have the money to rent a gated mansion in Catskills? Then when they run out of beer the literally break down a padlocked door with a keep out sign trying to find booze in the house to steal. More junk PG 'horror' to avoid.

More Netflix Feminist Trash
Full disclosure I could only make it to the 25 min mark of this trash. All the usual feminist tropes, white men bad, females stronger and good. This is another small over powered female physically manhandling males twice her size with ease. The acting and dialog is awful all around, the fight choreography is laugh out loud bad. The story is copy paste cliché done a million times before. The writing is just abysmal. This is in the opening scene of the movie-a vehicle is being chased through the desert by 2 enemy trucks and taking fire. There is a sniper on the ridge providing cover. There is a slow motion shot of the sniper firing
and everything freezes and stands still while the camera follows the bullet across the desert in a straight line and hits the driver.
That's right a straight shot with no lead time at a distance on a vehicle moving at high velocity. Then the secondary truck takes out the lead vehicle and 2 enemies jump out in the open and approach. At this point the sniper cover is completely ignored and the movie pretends like they aren't there any more to easily deal with the 2 targets. It's this kind of no effort trash that tells you exactly the kind of movie you are in for.

Good Enough Summer Movie
No woke. Decent big budget action/fantasy movie. Good acting and the FX are pretty good. Story is ok if cliché. The weird slow motion effect is off-putting but isn't enough to ruin the movie. Fight choreography also isn't the best but again not bad enough to ruin it. Worth a watch in my opinion.

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.
