Damn we need a wall of shame.
Most people are happy. About 99% of people who have offered their opinion of the reviews are really excited to see the movie and pleased that Wonder Woman and DC are finally getting their dude, except that one guy several pages back who was raging against Ghostbusters or whatever.
Inceptional just wants to pick a fight, it seems.

There isn't?
It's a DC thread so now there is a discussion about another entry in the DC verse and it's portrayal of Batman and whether that's good or not. A film Wonder Woman herself was in.
I don't go into Marvel threads expecting zero discussion of the MCU films or it's characters. The DCU and MCU are essentially huge budget TV shows. I'm not gonna go into the review thread of Season 7 of Game of Thrones and expect no one to bring up anything that happened in 1-6.
That outfit is glorious.

Well I actually enjoyed all of the DCEU movies so far, so this will probably be the best comic book movie of the last few years for me based on these reviews
Golgo 13
The Man With The Golden Dong
Although I honestly don't care for Super Hero Movies at all (I know, crazy right?), this getting the reviews it has, and being directed by and starring a woman, makes me REALLY want to see it. The previews also look really good, I'm honestly kind of excited for this (seems like something new and fresh, if that makes sense).

I am really glad this is getting positive reviews. It was my most anticipated DCEU movie.
As far as Batman killing people. Well if you are shooting large caliber weapons, attempting to throw grenades at someone while holding a hostage (superman's mom) on a clock as part of a private military organization you knew what you were getting involved with. Very few of the people getting killed were just low level street criminals. They were private military armed to the teeth.

Lmao.
A ton of things change during the last stretch of a movie, if Whedon handles the final cut then you can be sure he'll add his own input into the mix.
He will try his best to preserve Snyder's vision, but I'm sure he'd try to at least fix glaring issues, unless it's structurally flawed by design. Then it's doomed.
Jesus Christ that thread...
She was fantastic in BvS... one of the best (only good) things about that movie. I'm so happy the people in that thread can all [insert-expletive-of-choice] now.
Remember when this guy was cast as Batman?

O jeez...I am getting super excited.
After eating some crow, I am really excited to watch this. Maybe I will do a double feature with this and Guardians of the Galaxy 2

Honestly, I like Phantasm more than any other Batman movie, including Dark Knight.
Oh, and to keep things on topic, not only am I glad to finally get both a good DCEU movie, and a good female superhero movie (about damn time), but I'm just glad there's finally another Summer Blockbuster worth seeing. For me, it has been a dry spell since Vol 2, where as in March I was going to the theater almost every weekend.

"She doesn't look like an Amazonian" yo what?

Yeah, May was pretty quiet and outside of WW most of June seems to be as well. July is fucking STACKED though. From June 28 - July 28 we've got Baby Driver, Spider-Man, Dunkirk, War for the Planet of the Apes and Atomic Blonde.

That word doesn't mean what you seem to think it does.
But yes, it's great that critics seem to be loving WW. Hopefully that translates into massive box office so Warner keeps making DCEU movies like this and less like SS and BvS.
She didn't. That's part of the reason why she bulked up for the role.
As a die-hard DC fan....it feels really weird to finally be genuinely excited to see a DC Movie. Great, but weird...especially given how long I've associated the DCEU with dismal, poorly written stories. Imagine how great things will be if we start getting legitimately great DC films every year along with the Marvel and X-Men stuff? We'll have achieved the highest state of geeky nirvana.

Yup that's the right mindset. At worst you'll have your expectations met. At best you'll be very pleasantly surprised.

I am pretty sure this was not just about muscles. Just a bunch of nerds freaking out over nothing - it's really pathetic to read.
But hey, same happened to Ledger and Affleck, but this really is another level.

This weekend is going to be so important for the future of women in filmin front of and behind the camera.
Please GAF, go out and get as many people as you can to see it. We need to send a message to Hollywood 💪🏽

Probably won't make as much money but will probably have more legs than at least BvS if it makes sense since it would have better Wom hopefully
I believe so.
No, it probably was about muscles. And it wasn't unprecedented - Michael Keaton wasn't perceived to embody Batman either when he was cast, with attributes like his height called into question.
There's nothing controversial about seeing negative responses to a thin supermodel, with limited acting experience, being cast as Wonder Woman. If anything it's encouraging that people wanted the character to be more than a pretty face, which is all it seemed like Gadot was capable of offering in those early days.

Also, how the fuck do we get WB to give Gotham City Sirens to Patty?! We need Ayer to stay far away.

Patty should stay with Wonder Woman, but I totally agree that I'd love to see someone other than Ayer on that flick, and I'd really love for that person to be a woman.
Productions are starting soon, it's probably too late

You know. You should maybe go back and read that tweet. It's not very nice. There is a way to say things nicely. The post I picked up was just at random.
Anyway, don't need to respond any further, because I won't. People said stuff and I hope they are aware of it and changed for the better.
We don't. We get them to give it to Lynne Ramsay, the hero we deserve.

Yeah I've always seen it with the T silent and the O long.

Margot is the one developing that movie as producer, and she seems to have gotten along well enough with Ayer in realizing the character to want to him directing Sirens.

I remember reading about ppl being outraged that in a trailer we could see WW's hairless armpit and there were complaints that since she's an Amazonian why would she even shave her armpits? Or any body hair, for that matter....
Christ.

Ah interesting. Hella people pronounce her name wrong. Wonder if that bothers her at all? Even during the Red Carpet for WW they were pronouncing it differently

That so? We should start hearing castings soon then, no? Hope that Megan Fox rumor doesn't turn out to be true... Poison Ivy is my fiancé's favorite comic-book character and that casting would crush her.
I say, get Jessica Chastain. Add a bit of a may-december aspect to the Harley/Ivy romance.

It's not silent. The closest I can describe would be something between ga-DOT and ga-DOTE - here is a YouTube video that shows you how to pronounce it.

Crane would make green Kryptonite fear gas.
Batman's villains would fuck Superman up. Penguin must have a stockpile of Kryptonian weaponry.!
Say wot?

Circe has to be next at bat. She was Diana's main villain for quite sometime and has more than enough depth to carry a film.
I'd also love to see The Duke of Deception and Doctor Psycho.
