Press Reactions to Wonder Woman

You guys realize how empty is the title "Best DCEU movie" is? Lol



As soon as we get an impression that tells us this is the first DCEU movie actually worth being seen by a conscious person, I'll take the positivity more seriously.

"Holy shit, this wasn't completely fucking terrible" -Somebody whose opinion might be worthwhile.
 
I can't tell what brings GAF more pleasure: shitting on Nintendo or shitting on DC?

Like dang, the reactions are glowing. Let the fans have this moment, you negative Nancy's.

I hope it's as clever and salient as Suicide Squad. Or at least has a standard setting performance, like Jesse Eisenberg's dominant, note-perfect eclipse of Heath Ledger's Joker.

Also, there should be at least four characters named Martha.

On more serious note, I am taking Mrs. Stinkles and 8-year old Lil' Stinkles, so this better be empowering etc.
 
Waiting for reviews seems crazy to me.

Huh? Positive early reactions don't mean much when it comes to movies.

It's been brought up a lot, but it bears repeating.

Fantastic 4 2015 got early positive reactions, and it's easily one of the worst movies of the past decade.

I'm not saying this is the exact same as the BvS first impressions because it definitely isn't, but these aren't the MC/RT top critics either.

I loved Man of Steel and BvS, but it'd be nice if these movies started resonating with critics and fans alike.

These are Press reactions and not fans ones though.

Also there really hasn't been a word of negativity like there was for BvS or SS. Critics have heard good things regarding this film.

Clearly that doesn't mean this isn't the best movie in the world, but it's probably a solid outing.

For blockbuster movies like these (and most movies I guess), you will inevitably watch it at some point on cable, or on demand, etc. so reading all sorts of analysis why the movie is good or sucks just influences your viewing, which will inevitably happen so it just makes sense to watch a movie while it's first run.

Dont forget that insider who said the movie was a combobulated or whatever mess?

Thank fuck, although that 3rd act stuff is like, "Dammit really?"

Also, nice to hear Chris Pine doesn't hijack the movie like rumored.

I notice that happens more and more nowadays. Particularly relevant, with people beating the same joke into the ground, because the negative review they saw said it, and they themselves are not clever enough to come up with new material.

I mean, I don't see why it's hard to understand why someone wouldn't want to go in blind for a DCEU movie at this point. And by that logic, then uhh, you shouldn't really bother with seeking out impressions then either if someone really cared that much about not being influenced.
 
From Michael B Jordans friends invited to an early screening lol

Yeah, that's true.

Hope it's good.

Grain of salt required. BvS got a good deal of hype and news of people loving the screening and applauding and shit. Same with SS. Seems to be manufactured hype trains surround the DCU. I'll wait for reviews. Hopefully its actually good and fun cause Wonder Woman deserves it.

That said I looked up a few of those names and a few are people that weren't crazy about BvS so it bodes well so far. More concerned about Justice League having tons of reshoots. That looks like a clusterfuck in the making. Focusing on one character makes it much easier to to create a competent film.

I expect to read lots of "Just like Donner's Superman!" but the commercials don't convince me that is anything more than a marketing line to justify a lighter tone by comparing it to another beloved DC superhero film, as if that is the only way to convince DC fans they aren't selling out by Marvel-izing their films and making them have more humor.

consider they made it a point to ape an iconic Superman moment and "the Justice starts with her" tagline it wouldn't surprise me if it was more than a marketing line. I'm not going to give weight to these press reactions for a second since Gadot has yet to show any acting talent or charisma her entire career.
