If he hates it, that's just the nail in the coffin that this is a good film.
Well... there was that Scar Jo Anime.
I think there is an argument for Fury Road being the last big successful one of the top of my head.
No idea how Shoot Out did.
Batman 2019?

Never trust movie leaks that don't have multiple verifiable sources. Never trust internet reception to casting.

Probably not, but WB will try to push him in the leading role anyway.
Ant-Man is probably in my Top 10 & is one of the more underrated MCU films in my eyes, but let's save the MCU talk for another thread. Here we celebrate the praise that Wonder Woman's getting.

Hah, that's pretty funny.
Apologies for misremembering it as ScreenJunkies. Of Course it was Schmoes/Collider News
And of course, that video no longer exists.

He kinda works for DC so probably nice things.
Welp
Please merge with fart-chair Xavier. This is glorious.

Whoever Marvel ends up casting as The Sentry in his $800m worldwide box office solo film will be up there laughing as well.
Dude ripped BvS to shreds while he was writing that American Alien comic iirc.

Moviebob, Lindasy Ellis, and Renegade Cut are the good side of the movie community of youtube.
Still a rumor, but he apparently asked for release to direct the Scarface remake.
If Spidey rivals this reaction, SHIIIIEEEEEETTTTTTT
That would never happen lol. Especially when we haven't even seen how profitable Wonder Woman is going to be. Wonder Woman isn't a good movie because it's a female superhero movie.

For someone who doesn't care to watch the other DC movies from Man of Steel onward, do I HAVE to watch Batman vs. Superman to appreciate this movie?
I want to support this film more so than any of the last three DC movies but I don't want to be lost.

I'm too lazy to find the old thread about the anonymous open letter to Warner Bros. But that one was a doozy.
Not really. 99% of it is stand alone.
Nope. Takes place around 100 years before BvS

"She's better than Rey."
Nope, this is set far before anything in the DCEU.
No, it's an origin story

From the looks of it, Wonder Woman looks to stand on its own as a movie without much need to see the other DCEU films. The fact that this movie takes place far in the past (during World War I) also helps with that.
No, but wouldn't hurt to watch the UC cut of BvS to form your own opinion on it. Sure many hate it, but there are dozens of us that like it!
It takes place 100 years before BvS so not really. If anything, I mean... (sorta spoiler, but not really?)
BvS is kinda the closure to Diana's arc in this movie.

DARKNESS!
No, but that's exactly how studios look at these sorts of things.
Maybe not as drastic as what I suggest, but I can definitely see some suits instructing the DC brain trust to give a second look to at least one female character off the back of Wonder Woman providing its successful.

That makes it even better. We can try to pretend it's the start of the DCEU.
Edit:
Kind of makes it better.

Hell...No
Matt Reeves done gave us the best non-Fury Road blockbuster since The Dark Knight. War for the Apes will likely be the best franchise movie this summer too.
this sounds like a pretty good comic book movie. and if anything judging by the content of these reviews she's more suited to take on Man of Steel 2 tbh.

That's Landis' job.
That whole thing is bullshit, though.
She talked about knowing a person that knew about BvS being shitty since they had insider info, and the same person told her the same thing about Wonder Woman, which she said "broke her effing heart" because she wanted to movie to be good.
Like I said in that thread when it got bumped recently, people took that tiny exhange way out of proportion and made it into something it wasn't, like if she herself was saying the movie sucked or something.

Happy to see this is getting positive reviews! Looking forward to seeing it.
is it too much?
It's too much, isn't it.
Someone needs to combine these two
They've already greenlit Batgirl and GCS. And are already talking about a WW sequel.

There's a rumor he may get picked to direct Universal's Scarface movie. If he does get picked, he may have to leave Sirens.
