In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

“Anaconda” is gloriously free of wokeness, focusing on jungle scares and outrageous fun instead of political or ideological messaging. It sticks to classic monster movie formulas, so even the anaconda has more bite than the screenplay’s politics.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“Anaconda” keeps its focus on pulp adventure and monster movie thrills instead of pushing identity-based narratives. No character’s identity seems unnaturally highlighted, and all are subject to the same levels of danger, incompetence, and consequence. Narrative integrity is only threatened by fun B-movie antics, not ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

No traditional cultural foundations, religion, or family values are really addressed or undermined in any significant way. Masculinity, femininity, and morality are presented in typical blockbuster fashion, with no obvious preference for modern ideology over classic tropes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s a standard assortment of hero, anti-hero, and villain, but nothing points to caricaturing or mocking traditional worldviews. No identity lectures, virtue signaling, or unsubtle messaging are present. Villainy is dictated purely by narrative convenience, not viewpoint.
