This dude picks out the top ten worst films of 2023. I see his point a few times, but then his comments about women, “woke” etc start to sound more and more bigoted to me. What do you think? > **[The Top 10 Worst Films Of 2023](https://boundingintocomics.com/2023/12/29/the-top-10-worst-films-of-2023/)** > > On this list I go over the worst films that I watched this year — movies that deserve every bit of criticism they have been getting. _When Hollywood movies are bad, they are BAD — sadly, that downward trend is getting worse, not better. This year saw the release of a handful of bad films that absolutely no one wanted to watch; some of which could be considered to be some of the worst films seen in the last two decades._ ---

You’re telling me it gets worse from there? ---

I skimmed the rest of it. It’s true that his author photo doesn’t literally feature him in a white hood; is that why you’re asking whether he’s a bigot? ---

Can’t he be both? He’s not wrong about many of those films being the “worst” of 2023. But his reviews are mostly rants with undertones of racism, misogyny, and religious fanatacism. ---

I haven’t seen any of them, or even heard of most of them, but I HAVE heard that “The Marvels”, “80 For Brady” and “The Color Purple - The Musical” were dreadful. A movie can check all the socially correct boxes and still be a stinker. ---

Sounded very much like white virtue signaling to me. Not especially interesting or well written. ---

I’m not up on movies, but I’m quite confident that there were a number of stinkers released starring cishet white American Protestant men, too. ---

Bounding Into Comics is a vile site. After being directed to it a few times I told Google News to stop recommending it to me. ---

> [@Chingon](#): > > It’s be curious as to why the OP is directing views to assume random dude’s site. Is this a particular reviewer of note the OP respects? When I was checking my phone for today’s news, his review came up. I have never heard of this guy or that site. And me saying the author is quite possibly a bigot is hardly a gesture of respect. deleted ---

> [@DigitalC](#): > > Nobody using “woke” unironically is ever worth listening too. Yeah, I got to the first of presumably more "woke"s and “the mainstream media” and stopped there. I’m not wasting time reading thru the maunderings of some dufus with an axe to grind on the culture wars. ---

Out of the entire list I’ve only seen “Knock at the Cabin,” and granted, most of these films sound dreadful, but this line: _“This is a film that only appeals to rich New York Joe Biden voters and nobody else”_ pretty much sums up his overall agenda. ---

Marvels was entertaining enough. About as good as Aquaman 2. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > there were a number of stinkers released starring cishet white American Protestant men I’m sure a motivated bigot can find a trans costume designer or a nonbinary key grip among the credits to support their thesis that the woke agenda is destroying the film industry. And the lunch tacos on set were probably made by an illegal alien who voted twice. ---
