Anti-Brexit PC Christmas Movie Monumentally Bombs At Theaters

Quote
The reviews tell the tale. The Sun’s Dan Wootton wrote that “Last Christmas is the worst festive film I have ever seen … It’s a woke, remoaning, overly politically correct mess of a movie that manages to suck every inch of fun, joy and togetherness out of the season where we should be jolly.”

I have no idea what this movie is, but the article looked entertaining. 

Question for y'all:  How widespread do you perceive the complaints about movies and shows being "woke" with too much politically correct nonsense? 

I see this sort of complaint all over the place.  I watched a few reviews of the new Star Wars and Captain Marvel on YouTube and suddenly I get videos recommended commenting on all sorts of Hollywood stuff.  Lately I have seen stuff by Mr H Reviews, The Critical Drinker, and Nerdrotic on YouTube.  Mr H Reviews has been dogging the Batwoman show quite a bit.  I hate to assume this is a trend so I thought I would ask you what you see.

It started with me looking at videos talking about the last Avengers movie that was coming out then I started looking at videos talking about the Godzilla movie.  Many of them were not worth much, but a few were decent.  I have found that is common with YouTube recommendations.

A-listers in a Christmas-time romantic comedy? They had to work hard woke hard to get panned that badly.

The real question is what will the woke crowd do when Black Widow does well?  They could ignore Alita: Battle Angel because it was some manga rip off, but this will be in direct competition with Captain Marvel.  I don't think, based on some of her previous interviews, that Ms. Johansson is going to do "woke" interviews.

They may be forced to admit that folks WILL go see movies with a strong female lead.

The "woke" types are still upset that Marvel didn't give Captain America a boyfriend.   :facepalm:

Woke folks don't believe the world actually existed before the 90's.  We sprung fully formed from the forehead of Bill Clinton while he played a sax on the Tonight Show.  Everything else is white male supremacist propaganda.

Notice how it's always men's fault when a "woke" movie/show fails.
Also notice how they always conveniently over look the fact that alot of women aren't watching them as well.

That's because women have been empowered to make a CHOICE about what they want to watch.

Men are, as usual, just being aholes.

The critics seem to be savaging it fairly uniformly, but it seems to be getting decent reviews from people who have gone to see it in the theater.

And, according to this article, it appears that it's showing a profit. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/last-christmas-paul-feig-critics-box-office-155204550.html

Save your money and go See Ford vs Ferarri instead. The woke crowd, feminists, SJWs, and various other soy-sucking muppets hate this movie for a reason.

Not really fixed that, because yours was fine. I just picked the one I'm actually looking forward to.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I was initially not interested in the movie, but with all the hate, now, yeah, I want to see it.

That's why I have HBO. So I can enjoy the hate festival in the comfort of my own home.

I don’t generally like movies and have a hard time sitting through most of them, but it was a pretty good movie- real men, with real personalities, with real personal issues. I was pleasantly surprised by this movie.
