These days, it wouldn't matter if the film had zero woke in them as the acting, filming, dialogue, stories, etc.. are done by talentless and witless hacks who would make an elementary school production look as if it were a master production of the trade. Cheesy B/C rate movies of the past make modern AAA films look like amateur works. Nothing can save them either. Even if there are still competent people still working within the industry, all other areas of the films production destroy any means of them salvaging the film.
There are still some good actors alive, Paul Atraides/Agent Cooper hasn't died and from the youngsters I like the big nose hillbilly who shot to stardom in Disney's Lame Wars, Adam Driver (is he related to Mimi?)
You can find some more good examples here and there for acting.
Filming talent is rarer, screewriters would be all benefit from being replaced by AI, and directors/producers are mostly retarded at best or outright evil at worst, but above all incompetent.
Sure, there are some talent still left, but as I said, other areas of the production screw everything up. You get a good actor, and the director is a moron (good actors alone can't save a movie). You get a good director and you get a bunch of half wits who lack acting ability and when to adlib and when not to. A good script writer gets a poor director who decides they know the story better, etc... it goes on and on and even if you do get a fairly solid team across the board, and a good IP/story to pull from, the studio comes in with executive demands and the work comes out half-baked and full of political propaganda that destroys it.
All of these problems have always existed, but you had a larger pool of talent to pull from so you ended up getting good results from time to time, or at least fair ones.
These days, garbage, all of it.
