It was apparently really bad.

I liked the JL tasker more, but WE looked alright. Everything seems pretty positive with her, correct? No oddball Ghostbusters stuff? I mean, why would there be? She wasn't wonder man lol..
Oh. Well, shit. That almost guarantees she's going to be roasted..
Wonder Woman is a murderess, so there will definitely be less childish tantrums when she snaps some dude's neck as she is prone to do.

Oh I'm sure some nerd on youtube will have an outrageous rant if she impales anybody in her film
Seems like a waste of talent if it's really bad. Might actually check it out because of that cast.

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
It was disappointing. There are some cool action sequences, but the actors don't have much to work with. The script is too dry.

Eh, i dont care anymore. Its just a movie, some are good, some are bad. People get too attatched to the brands (marvel, dc) Ill catch this on vod. I think im burnt out on super heroes anyway.

The trailer was soooooooooooo good too.
Still checking it out this weekend. I have been anticipating it for awhile.
I grew up with both Marvel and DC. Marvel has their cinematic universe on track and I would like to see the same for DC.

He did VA work for Transformers, so he's not opposed to hiding his face or being in bad movies. V for Vendetta wasn't out of his comfort zone.
Pine was featured in that trailer almost as much as Gadot.

Isn't Wonder Woman the first DC movie Geoff Johns is heavily involved with?
Have faith brehs.
Trailer looked quite cool!
(The DC cycle recommences.)
On a side note, what do people make of the reports that WB were heavily involved in the editting and reshooting of this movie? Seems Faraci was on to something when he said test screens were disappointed the movie wasn't like the initial trailer.

Suicide Squad is 100% the surprise critical flop of the year.
No, Green Lantern.
Your BvS viewing probably taught you that Gal Gadot's performance meant something. That her imposing silence had presence for a reason. My BvS viewings taught me something else. THE WONDER WOMAN THEME ROCKS FOR NO REASON AT ALL! THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT OUT OF YOUR HEAD IS TO FORCE IT TO!

I knew it wouldn't get a fresh rating. I did NOT expect it to potentially have an even lower score than BvS. I fully expected that crap to be the low point for the DCEU.

I think dc had a good idea with the dark knight trilogy. Focusing on one hero and making 3 ( mostly solid ) flicks around him. Would have liked to see that with superman and wonder woman rather than being so intent on connecting the films. I know its not a popular opinion, but I liked man of steel. I wouls have rather had a sequel to that than the superfriensa adventures we got.

Just got back. In short: I liked some moments, but the script was a mess that needed several rewrites and a proper tone, along with the fact that the editing I'd an even bigger mess... It has moments that showe its potential, but after that you're constantly reminded in how much of a rush they were to get this movie done...
I had so much hopes for this to be good, but I'm not even sure what kind of hell this production must have been...

I remember people saying that about 2015 in 2014
GUYS!
AGE OF ULTRON
JURASSIC WORLD
SPECTRE
2017 looks baller as fuck tbh.
It's a terrible movie. I remember thinking that it would be worth a watch based on the cast, but I was wrong. Avoid it.

I've really warmed up to it when they dropped it at the end of the trailer. It's kinda cool. Very different

The RT score is at 31% but that means nothing.
All that really matters is the top critics score.
...
what?
... 22%?
ok.

DC's strengths lie in its villains, imagine if they tried to set up a universe where the heroes only make cameos and its the villains who get the spotlight? At least for the first few movies until they feel confident enough for characters like Batman, Superman, etc to get the spotlight again. It would have been awesome if DC set up some sort of anti-Avengers film universe leading up to Suicide Squad, starting with Harley or Joker or someone, featuring brief cameos of, say, Batman, Wonder Woman, etc, and then eventually breaking off into making movies about the iconic heroes.
Would've been a unique way of setting themselves apart from Marvel while also giving them an excuse to slowly build up a world that features familiar heroes. Oh well!

I'm still curious why it's the theme for those divx attachments she got from Bruce lol..
Suicide Squad? You literally just described Suicide Squad.
Blockbusters somehow managed to be more disappointing this year than last year. Damn. At least 2015 had Mad Max.

2014 remains the GOAT year.
To be fair 2015 also didn't have DC weighing it down..... though there was Fan4stic.

I trust my gut for the most part. Only recent CBM that I was wrong about was Deadpool (thought the trailers looked dumb, was pleasantly surprised by the movie). I liked Man of Steel well enough, but wasn't feeling the trailers for BvS or SS at all. BvS ended up being a dumpster fire and what I liked about it least seem to be problems for SS as well (botched editing, bad script, tonally jarring).
But I've actually got a good feeling about Wonder Woman. I think it's going to be decent. Like, Thor 2 decent. Not great, but an enjoyable, if forgettable, night at the movies.

Mad Max's GOATness alone makes up for 2015. 2017 will have Dunkirk and Apes (and rian johnson star wars).
Maybe one or two of the dc and marvel flicks end up being decent too. likely guardians 2. no hope for thor.

I'm saying that they each get their own film, or at least duo movies like a Joker + Harley movie or something, eventually leading up to Squad that then breaks off into real hero movies.

I actually liked AoU and JW, didn't see Spectre, but TFA was great too so 2015 was still an excellent year for me. 2016 has been a huge dud for blockbusters though
2017 is indeed looking pretty hopeful
John Wick 2
Lego Batman
The Dark Tower
Kong: Skull Island
Beauty and the Beast
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2
Fast 8
Wonder Woman
The Mummy
Spider-Man: Homecoming
Dunkirk
War for the Planet of the Apes
Alien: Covenant
Bladerunner 2
Thor: Ragnarok
Justice League
Star Wars Episode VIII
So even if WW and/or JL disappoint there should be at least a couple of those that turn out well

I still haven't seen fury road, but I'd put sicario up there for 2015 hits. Josh Brolin was in full troll mode the whole film.
You would end up with only Batman villains.

So it will review well initially and then later be considered the crowning turd of the DCCU.
Weaving had no idea what he was doing and regrets saying yes.

This. I don't get it. Like shit, maybe it'll blow us all away with how amazing it is, but absolutely nobody should be going in expecting Gadot to light the screen on fire. Or do people expect it to be good despite the lead?
