All they have to do is continue with this level of quality from here on ou--
Oh. God dammit.
And yet it has the potential to be the movie WB needs to change their universe. If some of the changes are true we'll be getting a very different movie than past efforts.

It's like the 3rd best reviewed comic book film so far (not that it'd neccesarily maintain it). Your maths is off.

Obv the score is so high because Chris Pine is in it, it's the only reason I can see the new Star Trek movies getting 96/95/85
Also I hope tonight's screening is full of normies and not cosplay flops but since it's sponsored by a Comic-Con I know I'm screwed

An earned pessimism.
It's Snyder though.
On the other hand the WW trailers didn't inspire me and it turned out good so maybe disliking JL trailers is a good sign too.

Snyder has yet to make something good. So I'm in agreement.

So far the DCCU has 1 mixed film two poor films, one great film and an Oscar.
Clearly the DCCU has earned it's place as the most critically acclaimed cinematic universe
.
In a depressing, dark world where Superman is a depressed, murdering dictator and Batman is a depressed, murderer villain, Wonder Woman is going to feel so out of place.
I'm glad they're finally correcting the direction though. You don't need to be Marvel to have a hero that isn't a moody, depressing killer and a world that isn't a gritty, unpleasant pre-apocalyptic place.
Day one.

looks like i might be seeing this on thursday after all or even possibly the midnight screening, fuck yeah!
this year is looking like it's going to be an all time great for cape flicks. logan was surprisingly great (after i was personally lukewarm on the project due to the previous standalone film) and guardians 2 turned out to be a stronger film than the original (even after some critics had called it worse). now wonder woman is getting fantastic reviews, and after this there'll be spider-man homecoming (which even if it's just okay will be a hell of a lot better than asm2 by virtue), justice league (which admittedly i'm still kinda expecting to be poor) and finally waititi's thor ragnarok to round off the year.

It's like some of you guys want it to be bad. We are about to have the freaking Justice League on the big screen guys. That's a childhood dream come true right there (just like the Avengers). So you can keep sulking in your corner or join us and keep our fingers crossed. I hope the movie will be great.

I'm really excited for this. I really hope this is the momentum shift DC needs. If this and Justice League (somehow) can deliver, a lot will be forgiven.

I don't hope it will be bad. I take past performances and extrapolate it towards his next movie. The best thing he's made is guardians of gahool

Not really. Its set during World War 1.

No, it's pretty much a standalone film.
And then forget to watch Batman vs. Superman.
Batman v Superman was a childhood dream of mine, far more than Justice League. If they messed that up there's no reason for me to have faith that Justice League will be any better.
I don't want it to be bad as much as I am bracing myself for how disappointing history implies it will be.
He has done two movies in this universe so far. The first was mediocre to bad, depending on the scene. The second was a complete dumpster fire, from start to finish.
His previous movie was Sucker Punch.
At this point, it is nearly a mathematical equation that Justice League will be a bad movie.
You outlined three possibilities then hedged your bets with two of them.
I award you no points.
Now tell me this week's lottery numbers.

I don't give someone free points for smashing together action figures that I had as a kid.
Agreed.

Everyone's gonna see JL. There isn't much question about it since the entire DCEU hangs on that movie.

First DCEU movie I have managed to watch all the way through? We shall see.

if it were disliked as much as BvS and Suicide Squad by critics and a large portion of the audience it would still be a beast at the box office and not put the DCEU's slate in jeopardy
the actual direction of the films would definitely shake up even more though thats for sure, with firings and all of that.
Discuss what about Wonder Woman? It's appears that it'll be good... and...?
I can see why discussion has gravitated to the DCEU in general.
Nope. Wonder Woman was set even when it had become a turd again, because this movie is important, but I am only watching JL if its over 60% RT.
Then remember again to watch Batman Vs Superman
Oh, it should be a huge hit. Though it should be interesting to see how Thor impacts it, especially if it ends up getting BvS-esque reviews.
And really, BvS should have been an absolute given for $1 billion. Batman and Superman, for the first time together in a movie? Oh, and Wonder Woman too? Instead, the bad word of mouth stopped it at like $872m. That's a bit of a disappointment.
I'm incredibly curious to see how Justice League does. There are so many factors: reaction to BvS, whether or not JL gets better or worse reviews than it, the positive reaction to Wonder Woman giving it a boost, etc.

Woah awesome 
My GF is taking me to this next week. She's really excited about it, mostly because she kinda likes superhero movies (more than me, and she only really watched the Marvel ones). She's constantly sending me stuff like the Gadot Conan interview. So she's excited, I'm interested, it's all fine.
However, she was watching Suicide Squad yesterday while I was doing something else and I caught glimpses of it, and man did it make me doubt the entire thing. I know, this is something else completely with a different creative team, but man did that movie make me depressed.
Here's hoping this one works. I'm fine with a kinda forgettable summer action flick, I just hope it doesn't actively insult me like SS did.

I don't know.
Where does SS stand on Rotten Tomatoes ?
Where is WW ?
Why would you entertain the idea they could be similar ?

I don't know that JL is absolutely garanteed to be a hit. It'll do at least 700 million worldwide, sure. And that would be great for any other movie. But if the reception is negative, I could see it doing less than BvS. The three biggest stars of JL were already in BvS and that movie burned a lot of people.
Nope. Sorry. I dont waste money on movies I have a definitiv feeling for that I am not going to like it even before.
I have not even seen Alien Covenant and dont even plan on buying the Blu-Ray and Alien is one of my most favorite move franchises ever. And if a Xenomorph isnt a guarantee to lure me into the cinema anymore, Batman is also not.
I rejected the most likely outcome (that the film would be middling) before the predicting that the film would only fit into two overly dramatic categories of quality, with no room for variation in between (that it would be extremely well received or extremely hated)! It was a bold prophecy!
I deserve at least one point! Love me!

You lose all of your post because someone linked to an old thread where I read a post of you that said "Gal Gadot is a total miscast".
