Nothing woke. This is labled as action comedy but I would say it's just comedy. I didn't find the comedy funny at all. How is this guy trained
as a hitman since childhood yet this much of a bumbling fool. He fakes his death to escape so he can fulfill his dream of being a webtoon artist? Really, that's the story. The comedy is of the silly slapstick over the top kind complete with corny sound effects. It's all just to eye rolling and annoying to be actually funny.

The old bait and switch. The 1st episode is incredibly well done with solid writing and lots of action. Then it gets worse with every following
episode. This is not an action spy show as advertised, it's a slow plodding drama. This is based on a single book, not a series of books and it should of been a tight fast moving action thriller, but no, they have to have a series so tons of boring pointless drama with bad writing. We have the usual DEI overrepresentation. While the first couple of episodes start well by the 4th episode all the men are getting pushed aside and dumbed down to focus on the much smarter female characters. The Zoe character is nonsense and shouldn't exist. First it's ridiculous that he's managed to stay hidden for 30 years than gets discovered and goes on the run only to stop and start a relationship with the first woman he meets and than goes out on a date in public, only to get stopped
and caught on bodycam at a DUI checkpoint. He then decides to drag her along with him on the run. Really? She is shown to be a complete mess of a person who can't even keep her finances straight and 2 episodes later is a brilliant blackmailer who wants revenge on all men because her husband left her. The writing gets worse with
every episode as well with long drawn out melodramatic speeches that serve no purpose other than to fill up runtime. There's also the problem that one minute he's hobbling around out of breath and groaning and the next this 73 yr old is physically taking out much younger highly trained agents in hand to hand combat. He kills everyone
that comes after him yet for no reason leaves the black assassin alive. I made it through episode 4 of season 1 and everything I've seen says season 2 gets much worse with the ridiculous feminist woke nonsense.

Woke consists of a the gay neighbor who shows his wedding video with a gay kiss. There's also a unnecessary derogatory statement by a white female character no less about the male lead being a 35 year old white male who thinks he's going to be a rock star. The acting is decent and the writing and story are passable though pretty basic and you can see the ending coming very early on so there are really no surprises. The FX are overall good and if you like body horror you might like this more than me. A few too many jump scares in my opinion but there are some creepy and disturbing scenes. The female character could of been written better. She is pretty unlikable and treats her boyfriend like garbage, blames him for everything and openly flirts with the neighbor before finding out he's gay. Watchable but nothing great.

This one is a little hard to rate on the woke scale. The John wick movies by this time are so over the top unrealistic with him basically
being super human it's ridiculous. There is an argument to made that this is just an attempt to make a female version of John Wick so it
is by definition woke. I see this as a mix of bad writing and woke together. John Wick at the time of the first movie is ready to retire and
has been at this for a very long time. He has built a reputation through decades of experience and life lessons to get to be the machine that he
is. Here however she goes through a training montage gets sent on her very first mission ever and easily defeats 5 assailants at the same time, in
a dress and heals on ice. She gets beaten and kicked but is never injured or even bloody and just gets up like nothing happened and beats them all down. Then we jump 2 months later where she appears to have taken on and killed dozens of men in a basic warzone, yet she is again uninjured with no bruises or any visible blood and perfect made up hair and clothes without breaking a sweat. This trend continues throughout the movie, every fight her opponents are bloodied
and bruised but she always looks perfect never breaking a sweat and not a hair out of place. She physically takes on and defeats much larger men but the minute her opponent is a woman she has a much harder time beating them. She is an immediate super powered invincible Mary Sue who appears to be equal in skill and ability to John Wick an the end of his career. Then there is the argument that they picked 5'6" actress who is rail thin with no muscle definition. Some of this can be written off as bad writing as John Wick 4 has plenty of invincible stupid writing for that one as well but I think there is definitely some woke at work here. Then there is the white male Pine character with the black daughter. The acting is decent by most everyone, the story is nothing new just a generic revenge plot. The action scenes are the now typical for the franchise unrealistic over the top nonsense with a terminator
type character versus stupid canon fodder enemies that die easily by the dozens. They actually have an opportunity toward the end of the film to kill her but for some stupid reason decide to just capture her instead. They literally just the spent the entire movie trying to kill her than just don't when given the opportunity. Another example is the sword scene in the burning building when multiple enemies with guns refuse to simply shoot her and instead just run up to her to be killed like morons. The flamethrower guns with seemingly infinite 'ammo' is another notably bad writing moment. We are also told through the entire movie
by everyone how dangerous this tribe is and no one wants to mess with them. Then this newb just out of training easily slaughters her way through the entire town while they all act like bumbling untrained fools instead of a tribe of highly trained dangerous killers. I suppose it's a one time watch for fans of John Wick but it's the worst of the franchise by far.

So much wasted potential. Mark Petrie has been race swapped from white in the books to black. The Dr Jimmy Cody a white male in the books has been race and gender swapped to a black female. There is no mention of race or gender throughout for either character however this is clearly a DEI decision therefore the higher woke rating. Both of these characters are also of course 'Hero' characters. The rest of the casting
is pretty good and the acting is decent. The Striker character is a bit of a miscast and in not at all like the book. There are 2 major problems
with this movie. The first being it's far too short. The book is very long and trying to fit this into a sub 2 hr movie is ridiculous. Everything is far too rushed with no time spent on any of the characters. While they included most of the large cast and scenes from the book no time is spent on any backstory
and none of the characters are fleshed out at all. For instance the Ralphie and Danny sequences takes place over 5 days in the book but here it's in the same night and within several minutes. Characters jump to conclusions and say things that make no sense because huge chunks of the book are left out that get the characters and the story to that point. Then for some reason they added extra scenes not in the book that serve no purpose. A few odd changes as well with the biggest being the ending. It is completely changed for the worse and unrecognizable from the book for no apparent reason. The second issue is while the
the cinematography is excellent and the movie is shot very creepy with some good tension the actual horror and action scenes are terrible. There is no scares and those scenes are just bland and sterile. It's almost like a different director shot the action/horror sequences.

First 10 minutes has a lesbian couple in a sex scene. One of the main group is gay and its the entire identity of the character in every scene. There is a token DEI black female character. There is a cross dressing villain. This is a blatant rip off of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The acting is terrible and there are no scares and little blood with poor FX.

Main character is a man-bun wearing gay couple. Bottom of the barrel film here. Acting, camera angles, dialog, sound, and story are all
amateur hour. This is NOT a horror movie, it's a bunch of film school rejects in a friends house with no money and an iPhone
trying to make a 'movie'. No scares, no blood, no horror.

It doesn't get much more woke than this. Lesbian main characters first scene is in bed with another woman. Her second scene she is hit on by a white male and states 'I like girls' Got to really hammer home that woke point. The second male character to show up is gay and hires
her because his boyfriend is cheating on him. The villain appears to be a white male preacher using his church to deal drugs. This is within
the first 15 minutes and at this point I'm already done but decide to skim ahead another 10 minutes just to see another lesbian character introduced only to finger bang the first lesbian in a public bar then transition to a full lesbian sex scene. What a bunch of woke trash. There appears to be no real story, the dialog is laughable and not in a funny way, the lead female acting is awful and every line is delivered like she's reading it off a cue card with no emotional range whatsoever. There is no reason for this garbage to exist. How in the hell is this dumpster fire directed by one of the Coen Brothers.

Wow what a huge letdown after the first one. I can't believe this is the same writer and director. Why would you take a dark, serious, thriller action movie and make a goofy comedy sequel? The characters aren't even the same. Braxton and Chris are portrayed completely different. The highly trained world class assassins are now corny, goofy jokesters. Affleck just looks old and tired. The writing and story are all over the place and jump drastically back and forth between crime thriller and corny comedy. So many pointless long drawn out scenes like the weird speed dating, the line dancing, Braxton arguing with himself about getting a dog. You could of cut at least 45 minutes of pointless nonsense out. What was with the ridiculous seemingly super powered child hackers? I didn't find the female assassin so much as a woke element of just stupid lazy writing. The only thing really woke would be the good illegal immigrants being taken advantage of by white people b.s.

Nothing woke. The female lead is black but she's not the usual aggressive nasty perfect Mary Sue type typical now so I don't really see it as woke. The acting is good, the story and writing are well done. The action scenes are excellent. Just a good entertaining movie.
