Patty's gotta get cracking on my Wonder Woman 2 with Circe as the main villain.

I love Kal, but he can rot.

Asking Patty to direct MoS2,

WW is not a quipfest. Plus, it looks like an actual movie and not a TV show. It's biggest influence is Donner's Superman, which means DC must learn from DC.

Marvel movies aren't just a "quipfest" nor do they look like television shows in a denigrating way.

Also, television shows look great these days. Twin Peaks, Fargo, Breaking Bad. They look better than a great deal of movies out there.

 

[Toxi]

It keeps getting better.

Plus, it looks like an actual movie and not a TV show. C.

This has always been the dumbest criticism of Marvel movies.

 

[Ahasverus]

There were rumors of the Wonder Woman production/editing being a mess a few months back (last fall?). Does anyone remember the website that was passing off those rumors?

We should keep a checklist of who's making things up. Especially since we had that interview last week talking about how little was changed from final script to final cut.

I agree with this.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

This is the curse of like, every blockbuster for the past ten years almost. I really enjoy 2/3rds of a lot of Marvel movies.

Hell, even Logan - which is a top 5 (honestly top 3) superhero film, has a 3rd act that doesn't quite work as well as the two preceding it.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I don't why, but I feel like this would be perfect with laughing Hugh Jackman.

This is the curse of like, every blockbuster for the past ten years almost. I really enjoy 2/3rds of a lot of Marvel movies.

The last 1/3 is the best part of the new GOTG though. I'm really glad this is getting such good reviews.

 

[eizarus]

A few things. First off, weren't there rumors that this movie was a mess and in trouble? Second, is this movie good because Warner finally took a back seat and stopped meddling or because no Snyder or both?

There were but it's gotten to the point that announcing those rumours brings plenty of traffic to your site/thread. Take the recent JL rumours about reshoots and problems. Doing the maths, it can't have been true because all of the actors were working on other things at the time (hell, Affleck got fat and went into rehab right after filming).

This is the curse of like, every blockbuster for the past ten years almost. I really enjoy 2/3rds of a lot of Marvel movies.

I think it's like loudness wars but for movies. Third act CGI splosion porn is almost never good for a film but they just can't help putting them in.

 

[Einchy]

Dat feel when a DC movie has 97% on RT.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I don't why, but I feel like this would be perfect with laughing Hugh Jackman.

It would be.

He makes everything better.

 

[VanWinkle]

I still think someone will come in to fix Superman.













Eventually.

Yup. His rebirth will be the perfect opportunity to do it.

 

[Meowster]

eating crow atvm because I am VERY happy that Wonder Woman is legit good

 

[Ahasverus]

How do you wrote a good CB third act? Tjet only good one I remember these days was the one from Civil War. It salvaged the movie imo.

This has always been the dumbest criticism of Marvel movies.

Guardians looked amazing, but Civil War, Strange and SURPRISINGLY Homecoming look tremendously drab, grey, depthless and uninteresting. A shame!

 

[Doctoglethorpe]

I hope to hell I'm wrong.

Cavill could be the conversational, easygoing, lighthearted Superman easy. I would love it.

I just don't know that anyone there can figure out how to get that Clark to show up in these movies after all of...


of that.

Make justice league an Injustice movie, transport to universe where superman doesnt suck, good superman beats shit super man, DCCU stays in new universe abandons old. Ya welcome DC, I'll take my check.

 

[Beefy]

I still think someone will come in to fix Superman.













Eventually.

Superman needs to smile just once and it would make him 50% better. Also not keen on Batfleck then we have Eisenberg as Luther.

 

[Prompto]

That ending/last shot though

is snyder done after justice league 1?

This reads like a Trump tweet

You mean man of steel, bat v supes, and suicide squad?

Also this

 

[ZeoVGM]

Ant-Man has an awesome third act. Like, that's a top tier blockbuster third act as far as I'm concerned. Jesus, was that fun.

 

[robotrock]

SURPRISINGLY Homecoming look tremendously drab, grey, depthless and uninteresting.

fr?

 

[FTF]

Dat feel when a DC movie has 97% on RT.

Yeah, great to see. 31-1 atm, really impressive.

 

[Error]

Dat feel when a DC movie has 97% on RT.

And it's not a Batman movie.

Sad!

Great to hear. Be there Thursday.

[jdstorm]

I bet Gal Gadot will be to Man of Steel 2 as RDJ is to Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Hopefully more like ScarJo was to The Winter Soilder.

 

[Sheroking]

A few things. First off, weren't there rumors that this movie was a mess and in trouble? Second, is this movie good because Warner finally took a back seat and stopped meddling or because no Snyder or both?

The dirty secret here nobody will want to acknowledge is that Zack Snyder produced the thing, and was heavily involved in breaking the story. Patty Jenkins may be a better director across the board, but it was the script that made the difference.

Between this and what we've seen of Justice League, I do think somebody at Warner Brothers has listened and Snyder is getting out of his own way. I doubt JL will be as good as this, but I do think it has a good chance at being at least better.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

I think we all need to remember the alleged leaked synopsis of this film that claimed that the entire movie was framed through Wonder Woman's email in BvS.

I can see why the leaked synopsis thought that, because I think we are supposed to infer that Gal Gadot does send Bruce an email explaining this backstory. Thankfully, the stop just short of actually showing her do that.

 

[RustyNails]

DC curse is broken? Welp, time to eat crow.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I like that you ignored my mention of "heart and humor" as well as multiple reviews comparing this to Captain America: The First Avenger to drop the "quipfest" line.

It's okay to be influenced by both Donner's Superman and the MCU, which is clearly the case here. There's nothing wrong with that.

But I fully realize you'll never admit that, being you and all.

Edit: Oh god, I didn't even notice your "TV show" nonsense when I replied. lmao.

I can say they're influenced by Tarantino movies. Marvel aren't the originators.

 

[Einchy]

A bit of a shame to see how common "the third act stumbles" is among the reviews.

You will instantly know why.

It goes from super interesting and grounded superhero movie to

Spoiler

Doomsday BvS tier.

 

[PhantomX1313]

Patty the Mother of DC

 

[Tankard]

So it was never a ploy to bring the DC Universe down? People actually thought the other films were bad, who would have thought.

Finally, DC, will be going to see it this weekend very excited.

 

[Ahasverus]

This reads like a Trump tweet

I'm the Donald Trump of posters (tm)

Spoiler

was actually called that once.
I still bathe myself with hypochlorite.

 

[Toothless]

A DC film doing well with critics? Well, Homecoming's fucked then

Seriously, glad to hear this is good. Planning to see it Friday morn

 

[Dalek]

Doomsday BvS tier.

Oh come on. For real?

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Need an animated version now.

 

[MartyStu]

Yeah, great to see. 31-1 atm, really impressive.

It is a really bizarre and itchy feeling.

I feel like a shoe has yet to drop.

 

[eizarus]

Hopefully more like ScarJo was to The Winter Soilder.

That would be amazing.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Fuckin' awesome to see this turned out well!

 

[Anung]

Ant-Man has an awesome third act. Like, that's a top tier blockbuster third act as far as I'm concerned. Jesus, was that fun.

Because they kept it relatively small scale (jeez the pun) and focused whereas most third act blockbusters are like "fuck what do we do now? Fuccck do everything!"

 

[ZeoVGM]

Jesus Christ, Ahasverus. Could we keep the nonsense anti-MCU stuff out of here? You and I both know what you're saying is ridiculous.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

That ending/last shot though

I don't know how many views of the film it's gonna take before I don't get goosebumps as the camera dollies in.

But I've seen it 3 times and it hasn't stopped yet.

 

[Discotheque]

Hell, even Logan - which is a top 5 (honestly top 3) superhero film, has a 3rd act that doesn't quite work as well as the two preceding it.

I got a beyond thunderdome vibe from that final act haha. Was kinda jarring but I loved it all.

 

[Strider_Blaze]

I'm just so happy to see that there is now 3 great superfilms released so far (in my personal opinion).

Logan
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
and now
Wonder Woman

 

[Bronx-Man]

Ant-Man has an awesome third act. Like, that's a top tier blockbuster third act as far as I'm concerned. Jesus, was that fun.

You already know I'm here for some Ant-Man love.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

We're done here.

 

[Holiday]

Hope for Superman now. They can always have WW pump him up and tell him to be the hero he was meant to be.
