Press Reactions to Wonder Woman

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.

If they announce a new Batman, Xmen, Spiderman, etc., you know instantly if it's something you want to see and you're probably going to eventually see it, so instead of spending hours reading about it, just use that time to see it instead.

Eta- look, you all are going to watch this movie regardless of the reviews. The soone you realize this, the more fun you'll have.

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.
Ah fair enough. Maybe there has been a conscious effort to pay homage to Donner's Superman.

I personally would rather they didn't recapture the feel of those films because they were great at the time but they feel dated to me now. I'd rather just some of the pulp elements be present, but straight comparisons to Donner's Superman doesn't do the film any more favors, in my eyes at least.

Honestly, Captain America: The First Avenger comparisons would resonate more with me.
 
Eh, let's wait until we see reviews as opposed to reactions. This film could actually be the aversion of suck DCEU needs but coming off BvS and SS I'm still hesitant to give it the benefit of the doubt.

And even if it does turn out pleasantly good, I'm all but certain Snyder's Justice League will wipe out whatever goodwill WW brings and restore normal service. -___-

I'm not you lol, don't make assumptions :p
 
Funny. The dude who's neck is being snapped is a director on Wonder Woman. Snyder DNA is all over this.

Anyways, I'm glad to hear some positive buzz. I'm guessing it's going to get a bump in tracking.

Damon Caro on stunt work and second unit at least had me confident the action would be on point.

ROFL I had no idea there was a gif of Snyder literally demonstrating this legendary scene

Nah man, WW theme is great

I'm glad you enjoy it, but I remember me and wife laughing out when they played her theme in BVS, the people sitting next to us in the theater were pissed. I don't know what it is , but i just find it comical. I actually felt kinda bad afterwards but found out many people feel the same way.
 
Guys, we have seen this happen before. The early impressions for DC films are always positive, but then Disney starts handing out the money hats so that when the actual reviews start to roll out all of a sudden every critic hates it. Then you actually watch the film and turns out it's amazing and a year later it wins an Oscar.

no this is not a serious post

finally one that might get good reviews. maybe wonder woman can be the captain america of the dc universe and have her spin offs get good reviews and maybe earn a lot at the box office.

That would be wonderful. If there's any character I'd like to see more of if this film is good, it'd be Wonder Woman. I barely know shit about her as someone who isn't into comics.

I don't believe in early press screening session but the movie looks solid overall, I'll wait for the general consensus 1 or 2 weeks after release to decide if I go see it or not.

If the reviews for this actually turn out to be good, then I'll actually go check this out in theaters. I'll put aside my dislike of Man of Steel to finally see a movie with a heroine on screen that's good. That's something exciting to me, the last I can recall we got Catwoman and Elektra and I was too young to see them in theaters- not to mention they're crap. :/

I wasn't intending on checking it out so now I'm optimistic.

It would really suck if this movies is great but just ends up underperforming for some reason.

MAN. I'm SO happy to see this. I am a big DC comics fan, and just want some truly good movies out of it. It looks like this may be the first (for the DCEU).
 
Glad to see good impressions! Hope this does well enough to give marvel the kick in the ass they need to finally make black widow the movie
 
I mean yeah sounds good, but it's early reactions which are usually hyperbole 99% of the time. I think I'm gonna wait until actual reviews come out. Fingers crossed it's at least decent.

OK , So im officially excited and want to go see it. But for the love of god please change her fucking theme music. Its so bad.

Or at least give it an orchestra version. That "guitar theme" version feels like it's gonna be woefully out of place in this film.

It's about fucking TIME. Can't wait to see it. So fucking overdue. Maybe once we get some real good films on that side, everyone can move forward.
 
Positive reaction from the press. eh?

Still not fully convinced until I see it, but I'm honestly hoping this is a good film.

WB had better taken the criticisms to heart.
