Still hilarious. Self referential. Sentimental. Silly. Hits every beat you want it to and then some. I'm more than happy with this. If it just made me laugh I'd be happy but it tried it's damnedest to make me cry too. Brilliant script. There were satisfying character arcs without our beloved characters going too out of character 😊

Shallow tho this may be, a show with Warrior in the title should have more than one fight scene by the third episode and that fight scene should be good. After 3 episodes of Warrior Nun I have seen one bad fight scene and a whole lot of talking so far... I'd rather watch Legion for a supernatural psychological thriller, or Wu Assassins or Daredevil for martial arts, this does neither as well as either so far. The story is actually pretty good, and if you want a supernatural soap opera then you're in for a treat but Buffy had more excitement. There might be epic fight scenes later in the series but I will not get there if they don't give me some action or some more likable characters.

I've watched the first 3 episodes and while very funny and quite witty it's not as satirical as Southpark or F is for Family and not as funny as either of them, and Big Mouth does a better job of analysing school life. However it took F is for Family a season to find it's stride and if this show is happy to be funny but not particularly clever or groundbreaking that's fine. I'm curious if there will be any character development or story arcs and I may change my review to reflect that.

Really funny, really good action, okay story.ish was 🔥

Shaft is hilarious but it has some complex problems to deal with. Those issues aside it's a fun movie, the chemistry between Samuel L Jackson and the younger Shaft was surprisingly good and less corny than I expected. The humour and the family story make this movie for me.

But sometimes it's hard to tell if it's a satire of homophobia and toxic masculinity or just homophobic and toxic. Men get teased for appearing gay, women get turned on by violence and Samuel L Jackson spends much of the movie being a cliche. But historically Shaft has been a cliche, indeed the original Roundtree Shaft set the blueprint for much of Blaxploitation and has always been a symbol of stereotypical masculinity, a "macho man". So it is actually quite a clever compromise to have the older, out-dated version of masculinity contrasted and tempered by the younger, more politically correct, less sexist Shaft. It would be hard to make an authentic Shaft movie without a problematic, ladies man in much the same way it would be hard to make an authentic Bond movie without the same. Those issues aside I see why critics have issues, it's not the most realistic story. But it's not a gritty, realistic thriller, it's an action comedy with a heart and for me it scores high particularly on the comedy and the heart. A solid 8.

Got into the character development and slightly soppy story before being suddenly thrown into a brutal and bloody fight scene and reminded what show I was watching. Fire. 🔥🔥🔥
