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

Lego Batman is going to be always forgotten, because its animated. Nobody counts the other great animated movies and the Miles Morales movie will have the same fate.
TBF, when people say something like "finally a good DC movie," they mean mean a DC movie set in the DCEU.

But yes, Lego Batman was awesome.
 
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.

It's gonna make bank.
 
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!

Counterpoint:

Without Patty Jenkins leaving Thor: The Dark World, Ragnarok would not be the movie it has become and Uwe Boll would have been directing Wonder Woman.
 
is it too much?

It's too much, isn't it.

I think history is showing us that WOM and rotten tomato scores are affecting these blockbusters more and more and more. I'm almost positive this movie is going to exceed earlier expectations by a large margin. I'm thinking over 120$ million OW
 
Big Ben is gonna come back with the best superhero movie since Logan in The Batman.

they can all keep laughing.

edit: omg I just noticed flying picard lmao

I'm pretty hopeful that the film will do well in theaters.

The early screening I went to was one at a military base for families and I'd never seen the theater this packed before. For the record, this theater is massive and has a balcony floor of seatings for good measure.

The crowd was so big that it was full all the up to the very back rows of that balcony floor- and it got a lot of clapping and cheering at the end.
 
I doubt the poor reviews from previous DCEU films will drive anything more than a very tiny % of people away. The stank from BvS reviews had barely settled when Suicide Squad was released and it did fine.

This is nearly a year from the last film and solid reviews.
 
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.

If I remember correctly he was a "both sides are the same" person on Twitter like Jahns.

His audience is likely as vapid as he is.

Yeah, Ant Man was great. I don't get the hate. Personally, it was one of my favorite MCU movies.
 
That Harley Quinn and Sirens along with Suicide Squad is probably gonna get their release dates pushed way up now.

It was mentioned earlier, but if WB truly wants to separate DC from Marvel, maybe they should go all in on a mostly woman-centric universe. They've already got Batgirl cooking, along with Sirens and SS 2. And we know Wonder Woman 2 is probably going to be announced within the next month.

Go for broke. Bump Hal and them and have Jessica Cruz be the lead GL. Get Zatanna and Vixen popping in solo features. Have a Titans movie centered on Starfire and Raven. Have a Black Canary and Green Arrow movie where Dianh gets top billing.

Probably a pipe dream, but would be great to see.
 
Am I crazy or does that look fine? Don't know too much about GL but how is the suit supposed to get on him? Doesn't it transform onto him like that in the show?

The problem is that the suit is 100% CGI throughout the entire movie, including the mask on his eyes. Even the eyes at some points, if I remember correctly.

God, I was so excited for that movie. I really thought it was going to be DC's Iron Man.

Jesus Christ I thought this idiot was mostly harmless.

Goddammit.
