She actually sounds a lot like the kind of director Marvel takes a chance on.
Look at what the Russo Brothers or Taika Waititi did before they directed Marvel films.
So she's mediocre because she's made a movie that won major awards, but it wasn't because of her. Sure, makes sense.
I guess Russo's really were mediocre before CA.

Considering that MoS and BvS were really good despite everyone dog piling on them, I tend to not take stock into this kind of shit.

WW trailers didn't look inspiring and the lead actress is a wooden plank. This movie was working uphill from the very start.
Man of Steel was decent, but entirely too long and dreary. BvS excelled at almost nothing, which is a feat in itself. It's best for the DCCU if they learn from that and SS.

the awards it won were almost all for acting.
if i counted it right 23 of the 27 awards the movie won were "outstanding actress" awards for Theron.
the movie itself wasn't nominated for any major awards.

Collider Crew is not where you turn for scoops.
You know this.
Collider knows this.
Just like you wouldn't hit up your city's Morning Zoo for insight on the day's top headlines, you don't go to the movie morning zoo to find out how Hollywood is working.
They're not built for that.

the russos did a loooot of directing in a short period of time before the Cap movies. look at their resume and then Jenkins.
2 episodes of entourage and 2 episodes of the killing and a tv movie was basically her last 10 years. ��

Sorry but you forgot the phrases 'in my opinion' and 'in the majorities opinion' when you wrote this, just to help you out a bit.
Anyway, wouldn't surprise me if this isn't good. Gadot wasn't particularly good in BVS and I don't think she can carry a movie and the last thing the 'movie about the strong woman one that everyone knows' needs is for the film to be saved by a male actor because that kind of undermines the cool aspect of having a female-led superhero movie.
This. Suicide Squad also was good, imo, just not as good as the other two. Since I liked all of the DCEU movies so far, I am pretty sure I will also like Wonder Woman.

Well, at least we'll always have the cool theme song.
And yet the movie was highly regarded. So she's made a movie that is highly regarded and she is mediocre. Based on what?

Really not seeing the problem. Either way, we'll see how it turns out soon enough.
Ughhhhh..

I don't think the quality of the director movies matters at all for these movies. I think they are doomed from before they even pick the director because the tone and the characters are already so far away from what they should be. Not to mention the fact that they have to tie in to all of the other terrible movies. It's a huge uphill battle for any director.
... anyways.
I was looking forward to this movie. Will probably still watch it since it's free (friend works w/ DC). Now I'll just go while looking forward to the free snacks.

Here we go again. let's start the hate train a bit early this time. this looks just as mediocre as the first Captain America, but let's trash it and rate it so that it sits in the 20s at Rotten Tomatoes.

Not news I was looking forward to. Hopefully they can save this somehow.

If your entire plan is to rip off the first Captain America movie, then you deserve a 20%
... anyways.
Opinions differ. When I saw the first Ironman I found that mediocre at best and had no intention of watching any of the other Marvel movies, especially not since Ironman 1 is supposed to be one of the better Marvel films. And if I already thought that one was mediocre, why bother with the rest?
On the contrariy, I enjoyed every DCEU film so far.

For me the Marvel movies have been decent popcorn flicks. Outside of maybe 1 or 2 I never have any real desire to watch them again. They don't excel in or try for almost anything more in my mind. On the other hand I watched BvS like 3 or 4 times in the first few months and still feel like I could watch and experience more. It's a masterpiece for me. Suicide Squad was flawed but I'd rather watch that a 2nd time than almost any Marvel movie that isn't Guardians of the Galaxy.

Not surprised. Disappointed but not surprised
Tempering expectations based on being burned in the past =/= starting the hate train
I rough cut of a movie shouldn't scare you. Most if not all rough cuts of movies are, well rough.

Shocking. The trailers look worse with each viewing. Something is wrong with the tone. The fisticuffs line falls completely flat.
The DC cinematic universe is apparently incompatible with authentic levity. It's grimdark and self-serious through and through, when it's not trying to force phony Marvel vibes down your throats.

Need to play the wait and see game... like with every other movie in existence.
I just don't trust the opinion of how good a movie is when there can't possibly be a final cut. This goes both ways.

Did they recast her with Cobie Smulders?

Hey, hey, hey. Don't be mean.
I saw the animated Wonder Woman movie which the movie is based on (from the trailers I've seen), and I thought it was only ok. The Justice League: War and Flashpoint animated movies were great. I enjoyed and saw the Dr. Strange animated movie a year before last year's live action film hit and the movies were about 95% the same.
My expectations for Wonder Woman aren't very high.

Shit lol..she does kinda look like her there.
Note that Mark Hughes and the other guy don't actually say it's not true nor that they are excited, they're just saying that they haven't heard about it. It could be that the woman from the video has a different source who is more loose-lipped than the sources of those two guys.

I thought that Brian Singer mostly hit the right tone in Superman Returns. Too bad it had a shit story.
There were a couple of shots in that movie that I despised - the ones where they tried to portray Superman as a messiah. There's one in particular in the runaway car sequence. It's almost like Snyder took that shot and used it as the basis for the DCEU.
Oh, well.

Why do you have to go there?
