Wonder Woman (DCCU) Review Thread (RT 93%)

After BvS and SS being some of the worst things I saw last year, nowhere else to go but up.

My biggest problem with BvS is that some of the concepts were actually cool and I wanted to see them explored in a big budget superhero film (superman basically being an alien god etc.) but man the execution was lacking.

I also thought Man of Steel was a solid watch after the first hour or so because of the score, action scenes and Michael Shannon as Zod. BvS didn't even have any memorable action scenes imo.
 
Hell, if you want to see this kind of thinking in action, just hop on over to gaming side. Fanboys root for things that are not their chosen thing to fail all the time.

Oh, I know. I'm an EA Battlefront player after all.



If I had nickel for every time someone claimed that "the game's population is probably dead by now due to how trash it is."
Loads of people still play it to this day.
 

The fuck this is the first review this thread gets?

Of all the outlets, this is the first dead rat you drop on the doorstep?

Variety!

It may have taken four films to get there, but the DC Extended Universe has finally produced a good old-fashioned superhero. Sure, previous entries in the Warner Bros. assembly line have given us sporadically successful, demythified takes on Batman and Superman, but they’ve all seemed skeptical, if not downright hostile, toward the sort of unabashed do-gooderism that DC Comics’ golden-age heroes exemplified. Never prone to stewing in solitude, and taking more notes from Richard Donner than from Christopher Nolan, Patty Jenkins’ “Wonder Woman” provides a welcome respite from DC’s house style of grim darkness — boisterous, earnest, sometimes sloppy, yet consistently entertaining — with star Gal Gadot proving an inspired choice for this avatar of truth, justice and the Amazonian way.
 
Chicago Tribune accidently confused Chris Pine with Chris Evans lol.

Edit: happy for everyone involved that this movie seems to have turned out well. Its always fun when we get breakout movie stars.
 
Erbland's review at IndieWire comparing it to Superman: The Movie
Phillips' review at Chicago Tribune and Nashawaty's at EW comparing it to Captain America: The First Avenger

This is speaking to me. Speaking right to me.
