I don't know who it is but Germain Lussier (critic at I09) liked that tweet so I'm assuming he at least agrees with it.

We'll see, but him giving an indication before the embargo is lifted is eyebrow raising.

Or...he thought it was a good joke.
You know he's going to say something.

He will. Even if he likes the movie. He's been riding the Gadot can't act train for so long, he'll find something to be nitpicky about just to save face.

Well... I'm glad early critical impression seem good. We'll see how that works out for reviews, I remember seeing a lot of 7/10 Rottens for BvS.
Honestly, while I do appreciate a srs bsns comic book movie (else I wouldn't be here, obvs.), as long as it doesn't venture into Avengers 2 "step on your own dramatic tension" levels of compulsive quippiness I'm alright.

He will. He decided to die on that hill a long time ago. She could somehow be nominated for one of the many awards and he'd still talk shit about her.
Glad the impressions from critics are positive so far. Had to take a quick peak.
That is a concern I have as well Poodlestrike. I remember a good number of 3 of 5s being labeled rotten and last I checked that's a positive score. RT I believe let's the writer pick regardless of their score.
Avengers 2 was just such a weird movie. It didn't get to the second Thor level of literally sacrificing any drama for a cheap sitcom joke but it was close. Especially after that "strings" trailer.
And that last confrontation between Ultron and Vision proved it was perfectly capable of characters genuinely going through an arc and emote, it just chose not to. Much like the bar scene in Suicide Squad.
What did he mean by this?

Forget Mera, true Queen is Patty
Though, I do feel like photoshopping a meme of Dewie Beats Truman with the Rotten symbol over Trumans head and the headline being "DCEU's best movie" or somesuch

Strings trailer was the best part of the movie tbh. And while that final confrontation was good, literally everything leading up to it was... uh, not. So idk. It was a well executed scene, but it felt kinda unearned.
And holy shit the whole big fight was just them saving civilians from junky robots for what felt like 30 minutes. Went on forever.

Will I look like a dick if I say some people in that thread are sounding salty? "IGN is alright but its no Vulture!"

It's DC. People are getting desperate to validate their prejudices.
At this point. Ya just gotta wait for reviews and hopefully those are good. But we all know people will be looking at the RT score.
Right now there is an out with these impressions. Just with what you said. People are waiting on certain reviews/saying this isn't a concensus. We'll see.

ed: ^ Agreed completely with that.
Definitely waiting for reviews because so far all of these have had good "first impressions"
That said, would be lying if I said one didn't catch my eye
@mikeryan
Easily the best of the DCEU. And I liked MAN OF STEEL. It's part CAPTAIN AMERICA: FIRST AVENGER and part "fish out of water" THOR 1.
This has probably sold me more on giving the film a chance than any of the trailers and any promo material except one poster. (Although the MoS compliment obviously has me wary.)

That's a pretty high bar, doubtful but I'm glad WW is getting good reactions.
This isn't directly targeted to you, but it's something I have seen.
You say the MoS has you a bit wary. I think that's something we have to kinda disassociate from a bit. Certain people may like certain things I don't like.
That doesn't make his opinion less credible. Again not targeted at you, but it's just something I've noticed when people try to cast doubt.

WW will have to be a game changer to be better than BvS:UC ;p
Also seeing the DCEU still doomed anyway because Justice League posts have started.

Lets say WW reviews well. Gets something like 80-85 on RT.
You'll still have snarky posts about it being part of the dumpster fire DCEU. It's another reason why I want this movie to review well. because you'll really see certain people's prejudices.
This is something I've seen done a lot and it never really makes sense. Not unless you have comprehensive knowledge of that person's tastes and how they relate to your own.
So for example:
Critic says he liked Man of Steel so reader finds that troubling but reader doesn't take into account that critic having views on other movies that line up with the reader's.
I talked about this in some Suicide Squad thread I believe. Our favorite ripping rock, Dash, discredited some early fan review of Suicide Squad as being invalid because that reviewer liked BvS. But that same reviewer loved Winter Soldier/Civil War (which on GAF are usually touted as the gold standard (hi Mads) of the MCU) so does that then re-credit that fan reviewer's opinion? It's nonsense to compare such things in that manner.

At least no one will say the critics is against all DCU movies now.Saw this in the comments of the Batman News article:

the first BVS twitter impressions were from fan-screenings right?

Yea, it's gonna be interesting how some people will reconcile this with the anti-DC bias narrative. 🤔🤔🤔
I'm honestly just glad that the first WW movie (directed by a woman no less!) isn't a disaster like the other three DCEU movies but actually really good. Hope that Marvel takes notes. I was gonna skip these but I'm gonna assemble the gang for this day 1.

The "cheerfulness and jokes" are just a byproduct of making those characters feel relatable. Nolan's Dark Knight movies weren't funny either and they didn't have to be because he nailed the human aspect of Bats.
Whatever makes you sleep at night.

I'd like this too. The discussion around Gal has been really gross at times, so I'd love if people had to eat crow over her casting.
Edit: LOL reading that press impressions thread. People are trying way to hard to put a negative spin on people liking a movie.

I was gonna go on a wait list for a showing about an hour away until I realized I'll flying out of town for a wedding... Oh well, guess I'll be avoiding all social media and gaf until release to avoid spoilers.
