The general consensus is the trailers so far have looked underwhelming/bland/lacked humor, right?

Not for this movie no.

Another thread topic that makes it seems like its sensationalist and a bomba

Wait for the reviews then if you're on the fence. I'll watch it anyhow as I watch most big cinema release (unless it looks like dogturd aka The Great Wall)

Edit: I initially wrote that is not promising, but Effect makes a good point below that this is standard practice for WB, so it may not indicate the quality of the film.

But if the quality of the films have been consistent, shouldn't we be expecting as such?

[CosmicGroinPull]

Please. I need this movie to be good so it will highlight Snyder's incompetence when JL bombs.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

And who has already seen it? Links please.

Drew McWeeny (one of the first/loudest alarm bells as to BvS' subpar quality) has said none of the same word of mouth or buzz is on Wonder Woman.

Also, this thread is pretty ridiculous as any sort of harbinger of quality. It's just fodder for more confirmation bias. It doesn't actually SAY anything.

It's a good film and the embargo is up two days before release date because that's SOP.

It's a bad film because embargo is only up two days before release, which is really only one day because of preview screenings, so they're obviously trying to hide something.

Pick your poison and drink. But nobody's LEARNING anything here.

Early twitter rumblings have indicated that WW is going to be a real solid DC outing, so I started poking around to see when reviews drop.

Apparently, WB has the embargo lift on May 31st and the movie drops June 2nd.

What? Does anyone know how far back BvS / SS / MoS embargoes lifted? Is this normal for WB? I'm used to MCU reviews dropping like 3 weeks beforehand.

Early twitter rumblings? Aren't those always positive? I'm pretty sure they were for BVS and Suicide Squad too.

 

[BadAss2961]

Whether it's one day or three days, DC + Snyder + their apparent nervousness around the film = we have a legitimate right to be worried about how it'll be.

What nervousness?

 

[Brian_FETO]

Inside sources have been speculating that the film will have "credits"

Take that as you will....

 

[Mrbob]

Yeah WW might be good but early Twitter rumblings are worthless. Movies always over hyped at this point.

 

[Inferno313]

Depends on the source. If it's coming from general public, or even worse, fanboys. Then yes, and those aren't worth trusting at all. The little bit of early buzz I've seen on Wonder Woman has come from Professional Critics, like Drew McWeeny, who as Bobby has mentioned was one of the first to warn people that BvS wasn't sounding so hot.

 

[Boke1879]

Early twitter rumblings? Aren't those always positive? I'm pretty sure they were for BVS and Suicide Squad too.

Those are usually from fans. A lot of critics have said they've heard good things and nothing like what they heard with BvS.

That said. We're still doing this thread? Nothing about this is out of the ordinary. Reviews drop that Wednesday. I would have thought Tuesday but oh well.

But I guess this thread does help fuel some "concern"

Not expecting many to learn here.

And my post was just calling out Ahasverus to actually back up his points. But thank you for at least pointing to one person saying it doesn't have the same stink as BvS.

 

[LosDaddie]

It would be nice if WB had more confidence in their product and let reviews get posted at least a month out like Marvel does.

WW rottentomates=rand()%50;

hmm

Wasnt GoTG also one or two days before release? Believe the embargo ended on the 24th and he movie here went out on the 26th?

 

[AlexFlame116]

I actually really want to watch this.

Besides, I need something to get my mind off the terrible Wonder Woman from the Injustice games.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Go on....

 

[zelas]

So far I've managed to avoid every DC movie that isnt a solo Batman film. This news and the terrible humor in the trailers have me far from optimistic but I think I'm going to take the plunge anyway. I've got to see the trainwreck that is the DCU for sooner or later.

 

[Lebron]

This will be a poor mans First Avenger. Not to say that's a bad thing, when compared to their current garbage track record. Their first decent flick.

 

[StanleyStutters]

Wow, how about a spoiler tag if you're gonna be dropping bombs like that.

I know, was just using your post as the jump-off since it was asking the direct question. The rest of it wasn't directed at you, but the thread in general, which is still basically incorrectly titled.

 

[VeryGooster]

Lord the review/Rottenwatch thread for WW can't come soon enough

 

[FoneBone]

Wait, all those movies were bad though. That's not great evidence of this being standard practice for WB.

Fury Road's embargo was lifted on May 11, four days before release. Still not that early, but it seems like WB uses the one-day embargo for clear stinkers. Suicide Squad had some potential promise with critics because of its unique GOTG-esque style, so they did a three-day embargo with that one. That's my loose (and probably inaccurate) interpretation anyway.

Mad Max premiered at Cannes that week, and AFAIK the festival requires that any movies screening there be embargoed until after their Cannes premiere.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Lord the review/Rottenwatch thread for WW can't come soon enough

It will disappoint just like the Uncharted 4 thread, just saying.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Decisions on when embargoes go up aren't necessarily linked to the perceived quality of the film.

I don't know why people assume this is automatically the case.

If you don't show something, you gotta hide something.

 

[MugiwaraCole]

I believe both movies were only about two weeks away

Got to remember opens like a week earlier in Europe

Guardians, maybe. Civil War reviews and impressions were all over the net a month out. That's a rare case though, and shouldn't really be the standard. The movie was getting glowing reviews, and you can bet Marvel wanted to get the good news out while BVS was getting obliterated by everybody. Sold more tickets.

 

[Hitman]

Wonder Woman looks like crap. Gal Gadot can't act. Anyone who buys a ticket for Day 1 and expects this to be good obviously can't learn from the past. DC movies are a mess and WB's shitty corporate managers are most likely to blame. But line up anyways and line their pockets I guess.

 

[Ahasverus]

Poor man's? more like rich man's. WW will surely have the visual espectacle CA lacked.

When embargo lifts that late, it means it's likely dogshit

No, it doesn't.

No, it didn't.

No, it didn't.

That's what I generally think about late embargo liftings too. Or do you have evidence and reasoning as to why people shouldn't think that way?

Yes, it did.

 

[Ahasverus]

First Avenger is one of the few Marvel movies with actual cinematic value. Can't hate.

 

[daviyoung]

First Avenger is pretty fun in a Speed Racer kind of way

 

[ZeoVGM]

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/captain_america_the_first_avenger/

If you didn't like it, that's fine. But making an argument that it sucked -- as a basis against Wonder Woman looking like a poor man's version of it -- when you're actually in the minority with that opinion, is silly.

That's not really how opinions work.

I disagree with the guy, but offering a RT score as proof that his opinion is invalid is what's silly.

 

[paragonpro]

Im excited for it, this seems sensationalist (as do most dceu threads on gaf), i think alot of people here already have a stance on dc films and even if this turns out to be good/fresh on rt people will find away to squeeze it in with how they feel about rest of them. Which is understandable its like if you dont like the majority of the marvel films your probably not gonna love the new one. But it seems like a lot of people want to see this bomb, why dont we wait til reviews hit first before saying this confirms any bias you may have had.
