Just saw it today with my daughter… great great movie. Definitely deserves the hype.

It turns outs “woke” doesn’t have a definition nor really a unifying theme, and that marketing a film to 50+% of the population can actually work.

I’ve asked dozens of republicans and not one of them can answer the question: “what is woke?”

Yeah, Greta Gerwig just completely invalidated that right wing slogan.

Nah, it’s been invalidated several times and yet they hopelessly cling to it as if it still meant something. And if some LGBTQ+ friendly film happens to bomb or at least not make that much profit, they will parrot it once again with further gusto.

I thought it was pretty fun and enjoyable. My GF thought it was a bit boring though. Not for everyone surely, and I think it could have been better but still a solid 7/10 by me

Just finished watching it maybe ~2 hours ago. I agree with the 7/10. There were parts that were boring (and imo cringey), but overall it was interesting. Nothing game breaking and could be better, but still a good watch.

6/10 for me, but yes, it’s fun and gets uneven, with said cringey bits.

It could have done without the car chase Chevy ad, but I thought overall it was far above my expectations. Not surprised it’s doing well, the whole movie theatre were laughing out loud.

Is that the worst of it? Maybe I should see it… I mean I liked the first Michael Bay Transformers movie despite the ludicrous product placement.

It’s closer to the first Lego movie than Transformers. If that helps
