Pha-Q woke's Reviews
No woke, low budget horror
No woke here. Typical low budget horror for the time. Not great but not a bad way to pass the time if your a horror fan. Passable acting and story. VFX are about what you would expect for direct to video in the early 2000s.

Maybe a little woke
So there are a lot of 'white people' lines from the main black character as well as a 'mansplaining' line, however everything seems to be done for humorous effect and not preachy so not sure if it's really woke. Sort of Kill Bill meets early Guy Ritchie movie. Acting and story are all good and entertaining. The action does start to get over the top implausible toward the end and the finale VFX are a little sketchy but if you can get past that a pretty enjoyable action comedy.

Could of been great if it wasn't so woke
Entire movie revolves around a gay couple and their adopted Asian daughter. Constant gay oppression and gay victimhood throughout. Also the entire world is saved by the love of 2 gay men who have it so rough because all of society hates them. So much potential wasted. The idea could of been really good and Dave Bautista gives a great performance. The child actor is horrible and annoying as well. So many times they get the upper hand and every time they refuse to take advantage and do the dumbest thing possible.

Minor woke, odd film.
Lots of diversity casting. Strange film in that it seems to want to be a comedy and a dark murder mystery at the same time but they don't know how to implement them together. The comedy is out of place and the jokes rarely land. Most of these characters are too stupid to be believable as real people. On the plus side the acting is good and the story is actually interesting, too bad it just doesn't come together right.

Original Swedish film is much better.
Woke aspects are the 2 white males living in the area are complete useless idiots, the other one is a corporate a-hole. All the women are smart and capable. Even Otto is an angry failure who can't even manage to kill himself. Then we have the forced in pointless trans kid that is not in the original and the actor is horrible. Outside that the movie is just not that good. Unlike the original grumpy version Otto here is just an angry asshole who in real life would probably get punched in the face on a daily basis. People like that others tend to avoid, not engage and ask for help all the time. Also people that angry with life and others don't just offer to help at random. Otto is just completely unlikable as a character and I hated him within 10 min. Also some of the writing just makes no sense, like Otto fighting with the developers to get ADA compliance when his wife is in a wheelchair when they are young, then fast forward 20-30 years and the developer is still there and the project is still going on? That would be the worst most unprofitable project in history. Just watch the original if you can find it, it's far superior and has no woke in it.

Pretty Good
So I didn't notice any woke but apparently if you read the books there is a gender swapped important character. There is a lot of diversity in the cast but it deals with different planets and different races so It didn't feel forced at all. This is a decent Sci-Fi film. Good fx and acting. Great cinematography. This is not really an action film though there are some good action scenes. It will seem a little slow if that's what your looking for.

Insanely Woke
Once again we have a large amount of minorities and blacks in particular in an era of Britain when there was virtually no black population. All the men are idiots or villains. Enola is a Mary Sue and can do anything. Lots of much smaller women physically overpowering and beating up on much larger men. Watson is Indian now. Moriarty is now a black woman. These no talent hacks couldn't even come up with there own villain, they had to steal an iconic one and destroy it. There is even an scene were a boy swaps close with Enola and is shown smiling and playing with her clothes, an obvious drag/trans scene. Skip this woke garbage!

Great Movie, No Woke
Nothing woke here. Just a great movie. Manages to be very funny without being disrespectful with the material. Great performances all around and is able to avoid a lot of the cliché moments typically associated with these types of sports films.

Over The Top Splatter Film
The wokeness is one pointless unnecessary gay sex scene. The first 45min are pretty good. Ultra violent gory splatter fest. But then the 'monster' is introduced and it takes a down turn. It's basically the terminator. Superpowered killing machine......sometimes. Literally punching through people with one shot, but then hits someone on the head multiple times and doesn't kill them. Also way to much stupid people standing around watching other people get slaughtered instead of escaping. Lots of pointing guns at people with plenty of time to shoot....but don't. It's just too stupid unfortunately. Still if you love gore and splatter its not a terrible way to spend 2 hrs.
