Absolutely after all its his last shot to play in this universe so he's got to make it count.
And then, and then, and then...
Wonder Woman lOTl World is waiting for Gadot

This mofo man. He gives Gal's performance credit solely to Patty. What a douchebag.
He is all over the "Looks great, but Gal Gadot" narrative.
From Veelk?!? Never!

He really wanted Jaime Alexander to get the role.

I always found people shitting on Gadot for her physique while at the same time caping for the similarly slender Alexander hilarious. That bulky Lady Sif armor sure did a thing on them.
Yup that's why I posted it, he has went super duper ham on Gal/WW in the past.
Credit where credit is due though... Gal never wavered or lost her calm once among the backlash.

75% usually means around a 6/10 or 3 stars like Ultron and Thor 1.
If it sneaks into 4-5 star or 90% fresh territory that's when shit gets interesting.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
Wonder Woman will have a better rotten tomato score than Pirates 5 guaranteed.
Hoping it has a better box office tally too! The Gal Gadot haters will be eating crow very soon. She's a good actress and very beautiful.

I really hope so.
No reason both MCU and DCEU cannot succeed at the same time.
Plus, have we ever gotten a good female superhero movie? I'm drawing a blank.

I like Campea but he also said Alien Covenant was the Alien sequel I'd been looking forward to for years and I mean, fuck.
Prior to Wonder Woman, no.

A true blue MCU or DCCU comic super hero movie no. Catwoman and Elektra were awful.
Hit-Girl in Kickass
Hanna in Hanna
Leeloo in 5th Element
Would be my favorite female leads in scifi/action movies.
But he's also been hating on Gal and WW since she was announced

How could you leave out Furiosa in Mad Max: Fury Road or Rey in Force Awakens???
A lot of nerds have been doing that for a while, and like many nerds his love for nerd stuff seems to be a critical blind spot.
As far as mainstream or such goes, not really. There was a Wonder Woman animated film back in 2009 that was good through.

I have no clue how that animated movie sold, but it's unfortunate they never made a sequel. Although technically it is one more than Flash and Aquaman. The DC animated movies, much like other avenues, are Batman with the occasional Justice League and Superman.

I hope Justice League and Aquaman does well too.

Justice League will do well for sure.
Aquaman though? LOL he's a nobody to the public. I just don't see his movie being a hit.

Just a reminder that things like this have been said before about things that ended up successful. I don't think something has to be that meaningful to the public, in fact something new like Guardians can stir excitement and there's also marketing.
That's what people said about Suicide Squad. It's all in the marketing.
He's going to be the standout in JL. People will love him and the trailers and marketing are going to knock it out of the park guaranteed
Wrong.

Since when does popularity matter that much. CBM? People will watch it. Seen JL? Good job, Seaman, will watch your movie. Good marketing, well received? Hello $$$$$$$$.
Popularity doesn't automatically equal money or no money.

but you put Kick Ass in your list.
Furiosa, Sarah Conner and Ripley the gawds.
Ridley Scott and James Cameron were really good at making badass heroines long before the industry saw fit to follow through.

Anyone else went to the free screening tonight? I just got back. They gave a little rundown of the embargo and everything before starting the film, and said we could post impressions online, just no full reviews.
I really enjoyed it. I thought Gadot and Pine carried the film just fine. There were enough moments of levity to keep the thing from being a wholly bleak affair, but they definitely didn't shy away from showing how shitty WW1 was (in a PG-13 way anyway). I liked Wonder Woman as a character also -- she shows much more empathy than any other character I've seen in the DC universe so far.
Action was awesome for the most part. The final fight was a bit meh, but that's pretty much par for the course with superhero movies so far in my opinion.
*Full Disclosure* - I have worked on a Warner Bros. film before, and am currently working for something with Warner Horizon Television, but nothing to do with their DC stuff, and nothing to do with publicity.
*edit* While walking in the theater, we noticed a bunch of small girls wearing WW swag and homemade tiaras, etc, and they were fucking pumped. It was goddamn heartwarming to see young girls geeking out just like the boys.

don't tell me that there's a sky-beam for the final fight?

not necessarily a deadly sky beam, but the very last fight lacked the cool visceral nature of the ones before it
