What's the budget on this? Around Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad?

I just want the movie to be good.
It'd be nice for a DCEU movie to have positive word of mouth for once.

That would be a great result, all things considered.
I just want the movie to be successful. I mean, I want it to be good as well, but if I can't have that, the least I can hope for is financial success.

Hopefully Marvel steps in to show how it's done.

But will it have a better RT and Metacritic score than the previous entries? I mean, the grosses have gone up while the scores have gone down so far.
It doesn't have Superman or Batman, Wonder Woman probably needs decent word of mouth

It's a perfect storm of failure unfortunately. The DCEU films so far have been mediocre-to-bad and a superhero film with a female lead isn't entirely a proven success yet.
Hopefully Captain Marvel can break that barrier.

This is what I was thinking. I actually want more female-led action movies and this is what I'm worried about.
Yeah. Let's worry about that first.

I can't say I'm shocked by this.
How does this compare to Marvel

Dr.Strange and Thor Dark World opened to 85 in Nov off the top of my head.

I hope I'm wrong, but so far the trailers have made it look as bad as the other movies in this cinematic travesty DC calls a universe. START OVER. Stop digging your heels in.

Is that 0 in the first quoted word a hint towards something?
Wonder Woman is an interesting character, moreso to me than Superman at least so while that is kind of a pity to me if this plays out like that, Warner Bros sucks at making superhero movies (if not all movies now) and anything that gets them to drop the grim dark 13 year old boy vision of what $120M+ superhero blockbusters should be is fine by me

So making less is expected and completely normal.

I'm already getting the sense what's going to happen is people will leave going "It was okay. Chris Pine basically stole the movie."
And then you have to deal with the narrative that the best DCEU film is an okay-at-best Wonder Woman movie where the star is Captain Kirk.

Eh tbf this is in comparison to Superman, Batman Vs Superman ensemble Suicide Squad etc. Even in the best of times it was unlikely to beat those movies in gross.
My blame would be but on not wanting to see what looks like a terrible movie in the same style as other boring DC movies.
Female lead or not. With the higher than ever cost of movie tickets, I'm not taking chances anymore at the theatre.

I'm wouldn't be really about it until a week before it comes out.

Shocking.
If this film is yet another stinker I wonder it effects Justice League. That one needs to a $1 billion film if the DCEU is to survive.
I see you have blocked Supergirl, Elektra, and Catwoman from your memory. So did I.

And wait for the comments about the jarring themed being played.
Speaking of which, who is doing the score for this?
Honestly I feel like word of mouth is what made bvs and sucicide squad successful.
Critically panned but it seems like a lot of people like both films (60+% community for both on RT).

This is assuming it's the same level of "quality"
If it isn't WW is going down hard and fast because the marketing will not be in the same stratosphere.

Have faith that Patty Jenkins is gonna give us a great WW movie. Box office numbers? Eh, well see..

I think it's going to be hard for a lot of people to relate to an Amazonian goddess living in WWI France.

Oh well, it's going to be fine then.
Last year was a record year for female-led movies. Even if WW doesn't do all that well, that trend isn't going to stop. We still get the Sirens and Batgirl movie. We still get CapMarvel. We still get Atomic Blonde, and Star Wars and numerous other female-led stuff in the future.
One movie won't do much to stop that.

I'm surprised people still have expectations for this and the dumb shared universe WB is pushing.
Let go of hope, you will feel better.
