Guardians wasnt.

Guardians 2 is the best Marvel movie.

Happy for Gal and DC here. Looks like they've finally turned things around.

 

[jdstorm]

What if Spider-Man isn't good?

Bronx-Man, I'm scared.

Then it would be the Mass Effect Andromeda of this blockbuster season.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Guardians wasnt.

lol

 

[Obliterator]

Y'all need to chill with these Gal gifs. A man's heart can only take so much

 

[B33]

Dave Schilling at Birth. Movies. Death. said it was great!

 

[Finaika]

Pls don't go any lower!

USA Today!

Diana is genuine in her love for ice cream. She and the film are genuine about everything, which is what makes it feel so special. In a time when the public discourse is fraught and full of misinformation and hatred, watching Wonder Woman fight so hard and so earnestly for love is a profound experience.

It’s hard not to feel, well, wonderful.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Maybe it just wasn't meant to be for Spidey.

DO NOT DO THIS.

 

[jack_package_200]

I love comicbooks/superhero shit so I was pretty pissed at the awfulness of Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, and Suicide Squad

BvS's terribleness was something I took rather personally

Despite my hatred of the rest of this franchise, I am glad they got a winner.

 

[Zackat]

Well. Gonna have to see this on Thursday.

 

[Fancyarcher]

I mean, that's a bit of a backhanded compliment seeing as it's also the first good one.

But they did it. They really did.

I liked MOS until the last act actually, but yes the DCU looks like it finally has its first "really good" CBM.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I wonder how much of Justice League's polishes & rewrites were a quick attempt to recenter the film less on Bruce's bullshit and more on Diana.

Because it really, really seems like if the DCEU is going to have a beating heart, it's not going to belong to Bruce or Clark.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Didn't patty Jenkins do an episode of breakimg bad?

 

[GravityInsanity]

Pls don't go any lower!

It's at 95% now with 1 negative.

 

[Strider_Blaze]

About damn time that WW would be a legitimately good film.

I guess I will consider Kara a substitute for the general reception from critics.

Wonder Woman being the central figure for the DCEU would be amazing.

Already has brah.

 

[Holiday]

Gal Gadot saving the world, bow down.

 

[Toxi]

It's fucking surreal seeing a DCEU movie actually get good reviews

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Look, I think crow threads are dumb. And there's really no "but!" here. Just, Gal endured some ol' bullshit and it's heartening to see her get her deserved credit.

I'll admit to being skeptical, as well. She proved me wrong. Gal's fantastic in it.

Not calling for crow. Just pointing out that people like to give off hot takes when actors are announced for roles, not fully understanding why someone was cast.

We just recently had that shit with the Han Solo set photos thread.

 

[Primethius]

Good to see the great reviews. I'm pretty confident that this is going to be a turning point for DC aside from the upcoming JL (cause Snyder) given the talent they have lined up.

 

[Sheroking]

Directing TV =/= Directing film.

Unless you're Miguel Sapochnik on Game of Thrones tasked with giant battle scenes.

 

[ReiGun]

All my years of Wonder Woman stanning have paid off.

 

[shawnbuddy]

Glad to see these scores and really looking forward to this. The D.C. characters are icons and they deserve good movies.

I still say they can have Flash go back and change things. A real do-over.

My quick search shows no.

The rewrites were focusing more on Bruce and his arc.

 

[reelbigtink]

So Wonder Woman is the catharsis we've all needed since last November.

There's smoke already

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

I'm genuinely impressed with the reviews, even having seen the film myself. I don't really agree with some of the high praise I'm reading, but I'm happy for Gal and Patty Jenkins and for fans that have been holding their breath over this movie.

Scott Mendelson's review blurb on RT is the most him thing I have read: "It's a lot closer to 'Batman Begins' than 'Green Lantern'."

Jesus, lol.

 

[Fancyarcher]

Pls don't go any lower!

It already added a rotten I'm afraid.

 

[FTF]

All my years of Wonder Woman stanning have paid off.

ha nice.

 

[eizarus]

Great to see DC finally pump out a top tier superhero movie. Gal Gadot is gonna make bank when her contract is renewed after JL.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

It's fucking surreal seeing a DCEU movie actually get good reviews

Just imagine what happens when a MCU film fails to get certified fresh...

Someone please, PLEASE photoshop Sad Affleck onto Batman's face.

 

[matrixman92]

the age of chris evans laughing memes is over...sad day

 

[Shaanyboi]

Are there any movie reviewers on YouTube that people actually like on here (besides Red Letter Media)?

Besides RLM, I really like Movie Bob and What the Flick. Can't wait to see what they say.

Double Toasted

 

[Mr. Smiley]

There's smoke already

Ayyy

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Dave Schilling at Birth. Movies. Death. said it was great!

There's that Superman: The Movie comparison again.

 

[Slaythe]

Ok so guys, now that it's a proven great movie...

When is it OK to become furious Wonder Woman is basically a better Superman than Superman ?

Fuck sake man. =(

Patty please save Man of Steel 2.

Yeah they made both waaaaay too dark and brooding. Like I get they were trying to get a different vibe than Marvel and well Bruce is a pretty fucked up dude but between the two there isn't a whole lot of happiness / reason to get behind them. It's basically just 2 dudes either depressed or pissed off all the time hitting / killing shit.

Glad to see WW nails the tone here and she can hopefully offset their darkness in JL a bit

Maybe. It would be nice to see the DCEU recover.

Unless they are heavily invested in Marvel vs DC fanboy wars, I don't think anyone really wants a decade of shitty DC movies. Between this, Wan's Aquaman, Batgirl, and others, at least there's some optimism now.

 

[Hellwarden]

Finally, the DC cinematic universe isn't a complete joke.

Just mostly.

Spoiler

I am really happy it's good.

JL is just around the corner...

 

[A.J.]

Time for DC to only make female focused superhero movies. They've found their niche.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

So it turns out Gal Godot was the perfect choice for Wonder Woman. I hope everyone who called her "too skinny" to play WW will shut the fuck up now, but I doubt it.

 

[Primethius]

It feels so good to have the first female super hero flick for DC also be the first good one.

 

[Nemesis121]

Remember that thread about WW being a mess? so how many people believed that BS rumor..

I'm sure Gal will end up with the second most screentime, with Mamoa right behind her, but there's no way Bruce isn't the main character

They paid a lot of money for Affleck, didn't they?

JL is just around the corner...

Snyder + Whedon will bring it. Believe.
