Someone put drax in that picture please!

I mean, if we start putting more Marvel dudes in there it's gonna start looking like Sgt Pepper.

 

[Tagyhag]

While I'm not a fan of Wonder Woman, I absolutely love that it has the potential to be much higher critically than the recent DC films. Hope it does great on the box office.

Also, I've always been curious, is there any reason as to why every single new film in this universe look so drab?

Like, everything I've seen from the films, especially the promo material for Justice League look so washed out.

Are they just trying to stand out and be the opposite of the Marvel films?

 

[XANDER CAGE]

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

Noooo thank you

Gal Gadot to Play Wonder Woman in ‘Batman vs. Superman’

Don't hurt em. They didn't know any better.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Like, I'm trying to imagine how that conservation would even go.

Diana: "Haha! That movie was SO fucking garbage!"
Bruce: "You were in it, Diana!"

 

[ZeoVGM]

Very important to note. Wonder Woman is the only DCCU movie that isn't obsessed with hiring oscar winning ''talent" and was more about fitting the cast and writers/director TO the project instead of letting them ruin a character they know nothing of. (Chris Terrio,,,....Jared Leto....)

But that doesn't describe Man of Steel at all.

Someone's gotta put this behind Affleck

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Embarrassing. Someone make a crow thread

While I agree that Gals reception here in GAF is a fucking joke I see no reason for a crow thread, its not the sole archivement of the main actress if a movie turns out good. Producer, Director, Writer, all have their fair share. Gal of course factors also in.

 

[mreddie]

One question, how is her acting?

No crow for me.

This seems unfair. It's not like those other people aren't picked after a long deliberation and audition process. And Terrio came with Affleck

I never said it was though. Look in the thread, they shit on every part of the movie. Plus, the reviews are saying Gal is great, so...how does that not need crow?

[kswiston]

So I did some (brief) looking, and I think that the previous high for a female led comic book film (that had a wide theatrical run) was Tank Girl at 38% on RT.

Runners up were Sheena and Barb Wire.

sure it isnt. But she is getting praised by critics when a lot people were hell bent that she was going to be the weakest link.

 

[robotrock]

Congrats on the well received movie nerds

I did not save the PSD file, so you guys can go crazy with that.


Back on topic, I'm glad this turning out well, so I guess I got something look forward to a bit this weekend. Only one opinion matters now:

Spoiler

mine.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Gal Gadot to Play Wonder Woman in ‘Batman vs. Superman’

I was so scared to find my name in this but then I remembered I didn't even have a Gaf account until 2 years later.

 

[Anth0ny]

Wonder Woman to be pushed in JL advertising.

WB presents: Wonder Woman and her super friends.

unfortunately what matters is how much money it makes, not the RT score, in the end.

we'll need some sort of miracle for WW to outgross suicide squad or bvs. Man of Steel should be doable, though!

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

I just realized that these reviews are worthless cus people told me critics didn't mean shit when BvS and SS came out.

I mean, those people are right.

 

[Chained Prometheus]

One question, how is her acting?

Gal does a good job in the acting department. She's given more stuff to work with as an actor in this film than she had in BvS and Patty Jenkins does a good job getting solid-to-strong performances from the cast in general.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

sure it isnt. But she is getting praised from critics when a lot people were hell bent that she was going to be the weakest link.

There you have a point then, of course

 

[reelbigtink]

Made the mistake of watching the IGN review and it spoiled some scenes that seem pretty important (even though they're early on). So that was dumb of me.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Chris Pine is a national treasure and deserves more than just being called Captain Kirk.

All the Marvel/DC Chrises are great at playing dumbasses, and I love it.

 

[suaveric]

I'm glad WW broke the curse. Can't wait to see it this weekend.

If this opens big, I can see WB fast tracking another female led comic flick, whether it's WW2 or someone else.

Actually, with the amount of focus on Supergirl in Injustice 2, I wonder if we end up seeing her on the big screen...



I was skeptical too, but now there's no way he leaves.

Batman is the only thing the poor guy has left

They already fast tracked Gotham City Sirens and Batgirl. They're way ahead of you.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Now we just need Black Panther to be dope and women and us minorities can at last have a superhero figure to be proud off.

I'm with you on that.

 

[alfredofroylan]

Oh dear, the shenanigans on 4chan are at full force.

Because Ghostbusters was a terrible movie that a lot of critics didn't give a bad/rotten score to because it was diverse and female led.

Wonder Woman seems to be getting the same deal. Mediocre movie but is given a higher score or fresh because it's the first female-led superhero movie in a long, long time.

MCU gets it too, except it's more like they get called mediocre by the reviewer and then get a fresh score anyway, just because MCU.

So like Chris Hemsworth in Thor Uno?

 

[Rooster12]

As much as I want Snyder to come out with a good film- especially after what all he's been through this year- I'm still pretty damn skeptical that Justice League is gonna be as good as Wonder Woman.

Hopefully 60-70%

 

[shira]

Guys...

What if this happens with Justice League?

Is Patty directing Justice. . . oh it's that other guy

[Future Foundation]

So, when does the thread title get changed? "Amazon Delivers" was one I saw somewhere else and I say we steal that.

Wonder Woman to be pushed in JL advertising.

WB presents: Wonder Woman and her super friends.

I mean, they were practically doing it with BvS. There were a couple of covers and whatnot where she'd be placed either in front of Bruce and Clark or in the middle.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Someone on my twitter liked that Stuckmann review, so I decided to give it a gander and see why he's so hated around these parts. Literally 2 minutes in and he's already said he's glad Wonder Woman isn't "flawless like Rey" and the movie isn't like Ghostbusters where "for the entire time I'm just reminded how horrible I am because I'm a man."

This fucking guy has nearly a million subs? I chose the wrong education.

 

[Beefy]

I mean, those people are right.

King Arthur needs to be like 1%

 

[Kurdel]

0 to 100 billion hype, didn't expect this level of positive reviews.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Oh dear, the shenanigans on 4chan are at full force.

Between this and Captain Marvel, which I have full faith is going to be great, the GamerGator/MAGA crowd are going to be quite upset.

 

[Strider_Blaze]

I just realized that these reviews are worthless cus people told me critics didn't mean shit when BvS and SS came out.

To be perfectly frank, I don't see why people started making a big deal about critics. I don't think anyone cared what critics thought back then, such as in a time when Jim Carrey was very huge, despite the reception of his films.

 

[Chained Prometheus]

So like Chris Hemsworth in Thor Uno?

Better than Hemsworth in Thor 1, imo. Gal was a highlight for me personally. She brings a lot of heart to the film and sells some pretty serious moments for Diana.

Hopefully 60-70%

... Right now I'm thinking 50-60% for Justice League. And that's being nice.

I really hope I'm wrong on that though.

 

[ReiGun]

Oh dear, the shenanigans on 4chan are at full force.

MRA types and sad nerds are about to be FURIOUS over this one and I'm here for it.

 

[ratcliffja]

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

Worst super hero movie I've ever seen by far.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Well, fuck me. This is reviewing phenomenonly. Okay, DCCU. You have my attention again.

 

[Toxi]

Oh dear, the shenanigans on 4chan are at full force.

I love how there's even a bit of Marvel bias conspiracy at the end.
