Nah, this isn't BvS or Suicide Squad. There's no need to lie about Marvel movies to prop this one up. Looks like this is going to be a good movie on its own merits this time! Celebrate!
There are scenes of torture, war, important deaths, some cynism added for good measure. That makes the bright heroic Diana stand out more.
 
80+%, does that mean this isn't for the fans, but for critics? /s

Might be telling that the DCU movies with a strong directorial vision and minimal editing shenanigans ended up much stronger films than the other three attempts (GL, BvS, SS).

You should probably rewatch the first Iron Man and the first two CA films. There's really not the distinction you think there is.
 
Pulling for finally having a good DC film after a loooooong time.

That said I'm still stinging from those good alien covenant reviews for what to me was a steaming turd.

Who's the villain in this anyway?
Hitler with the spear of destiny? Ares?
(spoilers are for logical villains based off the comics and the era, I have no idea who it is).

This is WWI, not WWII

I want to watch this but I feel like I need to catch up and finally watch MoS/BvS/Suicide Squad/Doctor Strange before I see this. Damn

What is this? A gif for ants?

I need this in 1080p.
 
Have you seen it because I really hope you're right. If it's more along the lines of Batman Begins then I'm so in.

Having seen it, my comparison of Wonder Woman with a Marvel Studios movie is Winter Soldier, which I'd also say compares favorably with Batman Begins and Iron Man 1. fwiw I don't think all Marvel Studios movies are the same.

9pm PST late, usually embargos drop in the morning, no?

Honestly, there's never a set time or date for Embargo's. They are all over the place.

edit: I'd be shocked if it's not broken before that tho. This has all the markings of it breaking. They are advertising reviews already.

Even having it in the same sentence as those movies is pretty high praise.

I feel so dirty about me saying stuff like this but goddamn Gal Gadot must be the most beautiful woman in movies today.
 
Seen the trailer for this before Alien at the weekend.

Don't think ill be seeing it honestly, looks a little by the numbers as far as hero movies go.

Will probably see Justice league though.

I like that this is being approached with the same critical scrutiny you would find if Tommy Wiseau made a good movie.

Would be nice if this is good, but until I see more reactions I don't plan to see it after the disaster the DCCU has been so far.
 
Have I ever mentioned I read every BronsonLee​ post (regardless of topic) in my head like Rocket Raccoon wrote them and absolutely nothing breaks in the process?

Great news. WS, BB, and IM are all fantastic movies.

Now I just gotta get my usual cape movie partner to get invested in it too. He's so burned on the DCEU, but I will make him see the light.

That's awesome to hear, it sounds like I'm going to love it then.
