Fam, don't do this.
Oh no.
The thread was going so well, without any unintelligent sexist nonsense, I'm going to believe that your post was meant to be a parody.

This discussion has been done to death, but it's not true. I mean, hell, think about the logic, even if the character was totally unknown, she had a key role in BvS, a movie that grossed over 800 million worldwide, so by pure osmosis, she's known for that. I mean, the character was 'known' worldwide before that, but being known =/= knowing full origin, supporting cast, powers, etc.

Where does it say it's a masterpiece?

Nobody is saying its a masterpiece. I mean...
people don't understand it literally makes no difference
nobody knew who the FUCK Iron Man was in 2008
Do you know what the RT score represents?

I was wondering when the "Critics only liked it because WOMAN" thing would start.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of RottenTomatoes
It has far less reviews than The Dark Knight as of now. It will likely fall below it.
And not a single review has called it a masterpiece. That isn't how RottenTomatoes works. It is simply a percentage of people who liked it.
Also, the fact that you think the reason other people have a different opinion than you is due to the director and star being women, makes you a sexist ass.
Just throwing that out there.
Nope. But we wont ever agree on this anyway.
Still, you are wrong.

No one is saying this movie is a masterpiece, far as I can see. Also, Rottentomato percentages are not an average score (though they have that elsewhere) it's merely a percentage of the critics that liked the movie versus those that didn't. The degree to which they liked something isn't reflected in the percentage. 96% doesn't mean the majority of these critics liked it more than TDK, but that a slightly higher amount of critics liked it at all, than TDK.
but the critics listed on rt aren't necessarily saying it's a masterpiece either. the 96% rating is based on the percentage of critics that like the film, not an aggregate of their scores. the average rating is currently sitting at 7.9/10.
oops, beaten to the punch by a bunch of other posters 😅
Not to add to the dogpile but it should also be pointed out that this isn't Wonder Woman's final score - it still has a lot of reviews to go.
Edit:
I wasn't trying to piss on anyone's parade, just pointing out how Empire normally marks generously - to the point that I use it as a rule of thumb - and many of the reviews are couched in "not perfect, has flaws, but..." territory.

No, I'm not, and the fact that you can't even defend your point about this outside 'you are wrong' and 'I disagree' says a lot about that. I mean, hell, do you think everyone just closed their eyes when the WW was on screen in BvS lol?
Yeah it'll probably settle in high to mid 80s.

Just claiming that it's getting good reviews due to the main character being a woman is childish.

The problem here is what praise Ghostbusters got was still fairly faint and more along the lines of 'it's not as bad as it could have been'. I enjoyed it for what it was, but it wasn't a good movie. It also wasn't a bad one. It was average and forgettable.
As for the rest of your complaints, sounds like you watched a comic movie to me bruh.
I'm predicting a Hunger Games sized performance ($400m or thereabouts) in North America for Wonder Woman and even I think a billion WW is ambitious.
If true this just means that the DCU will now get the critical kid gloves that are usually reserved for Marvel and Star Wars films. The soft pass that the likes of Rogue One got in film reviews did no one any favours.
This gif LOL. Literally represents his comment so well.
Ridiculously embarrassing.
The average rating is much lower though, and there are still a couple hundred reviews to go.

Good point. Glad to see she can kill it with a good director. I did always like her in the F&F movies too even if she didn't have much to do.

I'm lowering my prediction to $800M.
Quoting this silly opinion because it's silly.

nice! i knew it was going to be good. 
I actually agree more with you than him but I believe GAMEPROFF is part of the international market. Are you as well? You didn't answer when he asked what country you live in.

So wait, Marvel/Disney is paying reviewers to praise Wonder Woman? Interesting tactic

If true? Lmao, come on dude.
Just because you disagree with a consensus, doesn't mean that critics are softballing films. A shitload of people loved Rogue One, myself included.
Wait, I thought the positive reviews happened because Sony faked reviews and/or paid for them? /s
It's a smart move. You call the reviewer pretending to be WB, you pay them, then they reveal it and WB gets all the dirt. We're witnessing 8d chess here. I guess Ike brought home some lessons from Trump.

If movies with female leads means they're going to get better reviews because of their gender according to that Fulge1973 conspiracy theory, then maybe we should just get more female leads for movies!
Win win!
Win win!
They do when people say grossly misinformed, sexist shit and with good reason.
So what? What does that have to do anything? Just because you love something doesn't make it good.

I think we should beat up Busty, guys
And just because you personally dislike something doesn't automatically make it bad.

...What? It means that I think it's good, which is all there is. There's no objective good or bad in art, there's just consensus. I can turn that around and say: "Just because you don't like something doesn't make it bad."

I think we should beat you up if you don't give us your review.

Lol, yeah, I mean 1B is pretty out there. I do think the movie will end up doing better than a lot of people predicted, especially initially when people were low-balling it. I think it has a chance to hit Suicide Squad numbers.
I am from the US, but I don't really think that matters. Anecdotal evidence from one's home country doesn't trump all.

All review threads are this way. Sometimes you discover who can come up with the most ridiculous opinions for movies they've never watched.
