Wonder Woman

Surprised there isn't already a thread about this. Saw it last night. It has a metric ton of hype and I don't think it honestly deserves it.

I liked it. And for a D.C. movie I'd put it just behind Batman 1 and 2, and Man of Steel. Yes I know I'm one of the few that liked MoS. Gal Gadot is spot on perfect as WW and Chris Pine does a good job.

I'm not sure what my exact complaints are. I didn't find myself engrossed in it. Often thinking about the movie instead of it just happening. All in all it was good just not great. It almost feels like criticizing this movie means you hate women or something. Silly.

Again, Gadot is the undisputed star of the movie and will be very good as WW going forward. Just thought it kind of got lost overall somewhere. I'd still recommend it though. It's fun enough.

I felt the same, strangely I found my mind wandering at times as well, though perhaps it was due to seeing it rather late Sat. night and being tired (10:40 showing)  It was well cast and honestly I think Chris Pine's performance really took it to another level. He played the role of a good but flawed/real person very authentically.  Gadot pulled off the naivety of her role very well also.

In the DC world I would put it just behind Man of Steel on my chart, probably because MoS just felt like greater stakes across the final arc and conclusion, especially with the conflict of Superman being faced with the decision to kill off the last of his kind.

I really enjoyed it and imo, is right on part with Iron Man 1. It's easily the best DCEU movie for me. 

I thought the first 2 Batmans were better. But I'm not complaining. It was good.

I loved it from start to finish. I think people are nit picking it. It's by far the best movie in the DC cinematic universe so far. 

Thank god for Patty Jenkins and for Gal Gadot. Patty is 10x the director that Snyder is, and Gadot really really played the role well (if she had bombed the whole movie would have flopped and it was tough role to play as well)

I gave Wonder Woman a 9/10.

Gal impressed me. I thought she'd be on par with Cavill in terms of presence (not average but not outstanding) but she was far better than I was anticipating. Gadot owned the role. She captured Diana's heart and tenacity perfectly. 

The only cons I found with this film were the runtime and dark cinematography at times. 

I saw it Friday night at the drive in theater and was wondering if the movie was that dark or if it was because I was seeing it in that environment. It was hard to see at times.

Snyder is who he is - an upgraded version of Goyer. I'm okay with that. If he doesn't write the script, he's a competent director. For BvS, he tried to go the Watchmen route and chose the wrong person to edit the film. So, it didn't go as planned. Regardless, 300, Watchmen, Man of Steel, Dawn of the Dead and Legend of the Guardians are solid flicks.

Jenkins is a superior director, however, everything that is this cinematic universe was spawned from Snyder's mind. He's like Kevin with Marvel Studios and Disney laying out the blueprint for the MCU.

Fair points, I don't actually dislike Snyder I just really like Patty Jenkins

Definitely not as amazing as it is being hyped to be.

Typical DC movie making-- characters are underdeveloped, CGI is turned up on high.

I would have loved to know more...and care more...about Chris Pine's character and his squad.  Also thought there was potential to develop Dr Poison that was missed.  And give her a better name than freaking Dr Poison.

Lots of convenient moments that make for poor storytelling.  Right after she discovers her power for the first time, she sees a plane falling from the sky.  One heroic moment and they made it all the was through WW1 front lines to their goal.  

And of course, the climax is just a CGI marathon of boring and predictable.

It wasn't all bad.  I thought Gadot was a great WW and loved the message and tone behind it all.  Just PLEASE get Snyder as far away from those movies as possible, and give us some characters and storytelling that, even though they are superheroes, feel real and authentic.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
