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

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

Still clung to that hope years ago of Lynn Collins being cast. Oh, well.
 
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.

People hate him? Stuckmann seems like a genuinely good guy and I respect his reviews. Don't always need to read a review from some highly educated writer critic. You cherry picked those quotes pretty bad
 
Critics and general filmgoers are aligning pretty well this year so far. 8 of the current Domestic Top 10 were "fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes. The exceptions being The Boss Baby and 50 Shades Darker.

That should hold for a bit when Pirates and Wonder Woman bump out 50 Shades and Split.
 
Maybe he will get even more dark and down and depressed? But then just add angry to the mix.
They were pretty clearly trying to build some arc that ended with the Superman we know/love. I think they can cut to the fucking chase and fans will deal.
 
I cannot condone Ant Man slander. That movie was fun as he'll. Do I feel the need to rewatch it constantly? No, but I like it on occasion if I want something lighthearted and well done.
 
Still shook at that RT score

Terrible dialogue, terrible acting, awful villain... Sigh. I just don't get it. It's much worse than Spider-Man 3, Thor 2, and Iron Man 2.
Edit: I haven't seen any of the DCEU yet but that will likely change next week.

Do yourself a favor and watch Green Lantern.

Rey was pretty dry, so I can understand that sentiment. It's a good thing to hear WW isn't.
 
The hell are people talking about Ant-Man for? Is it this thread's Thor 2?


Speaking of, Marvel could've had Patty Jenkins for Thor 2! Ike should've let Patty use a female villain like she wanted!
 
It

Fucking

LIT.

Let's see this shit go all the way, make all the damn money Patty and Gal.

I wanna see a DCEU with the ladies slapping motherfuckers all day.
 
Now all that's left is to see how it does financially.

On the one hand, the bad rep of the DCEU might drive folks away. Look at how much trepediation folks on Gaf have been showing. Not to mention that it has some stiff competition in the coming weeks.

On the other, I think the public is starving for a good, women centric action movie. The last one we had was, what, Hunger Games? And given that superhero films are the genre in hollywood blockbuster sub-category right now, the pump might be primed for Wonder Woman to shock the world.

It'll be interesting to see either way.
 
Even if these reviews are more like "Hey... I liked this. It's pretty good." as opposed to unyielding enthusiasm, this really is the best I could've realistically hoped for after the reception to the last 3 movies.
