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

Hercules in New York is about as non-woke as it gets. No box-checking, no revisionist spin, just a goofy, muscle-bound romp. If you’re looking for ideology-free popcorn, this one’s almost comically innocent by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Hercules in New York feels like a relic from a pre-woke era. Identity politics are non-existent, and characters are shaped by their roles and comedic tone, not modern-day checklists. No forced representation in sight, just Arnold flexing through absurd scenarios.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film gives a playful spin on Greek mythology without any overt agenda. Masculinity is parodied but not undermined. No attacks on religion, family, or traditional values, mainly just campy fun and fish-out-of-water hijinks.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no real attempt to inject modern ideology or blanket moral assumptions. Traditional worldviews, if anything, provide the background flavor. Dissenting opinions or traditional perspectives aren’t villainized, just played for laughs.
