Yeah, pay attention to almost every other post of mine in the thread.
They're all right up there.
Degree of difficulty: You have to read.
I didn't say his opinion on the movie was wrong. I said the opposite actually.
My point is that replying to someone "but it sucked" as some sort of argument is silly.
For the most part, yes. Heck early twitter reactions were positive for Fantastic Four 2015 so anything goes really.

Really hoping this movie is good, I like what I've seen from the trailers so far.

It'd be great if the movie turns out good. DC could run with its success for at least a little while.

Every movie with avenger in the title has not been good

The only positive reactions to that movie.
Anyway, I hope Wonder Woman is good, but I have no faith in it. I'll be genuinely surprised if it's even mediocre.

You are forgetting one of the greatest superhero movies of all time...

Serious question, how much of a thing preorders for movie tickets are?

Whoa now. The German titles for Winter Soldier and Civil War are Return of the First Avenger and The First Avenger Civil War.

Captain America was forced to use "Avenger" in the title, the rest of the freedom-hating world can't stand his name
If WW has even a fraction of the heart of Captain America then I'll be pleased.
Same thing with BvS and SS.
Average rating: 6.9
But let me add a disclaimer to my opinion. I thought it sucked. My benchmark for saying something sucks is if I think it it's below average. First Avenger was a below average movie.

To me, most Marvel movies are a whole lot of meh. Nothing is consequential. Gosh, I wish there was no Iron Man in Cap3. It's like RDJ knows that the last two Iron Man movies suck and both Avengers movies were on the bad side of meh, so he had to butt in on the only major Marvel superhero that had a good film this decade.

If Wonder Woman is actually as good as The First Avenger it will likely save the DCEU.
They'll have a character they center a universe around at that point.
A lot of people didn't realize after First Avenger came out that Marvel just unlocked the key to their universe (and The Avengers) being viable.
but Wonder Woman being as good as that movie was isn't guaranteed. Or even, with all this positive behind-the-scenes buzz going, likely.

Wondy is my favourite DC hero, I will try to stay hopeful.
That said, WW is relatively unknown to the international fanbase, I really hope she'd do well enough to "justify" more female heroes flicks for the shareholders.

Not the same, but social media reaction embargo is up in an hour

And review embargo date hasn't been set yet

If there isn't a date set, is there even an embargo?
Not that it matters much. Once people start tweeting, that's how the WOM is going to spread anyway. Get three or four outlets doing their tweet roundups or whatever...

Third acts sucking is kind of mandatory for superhero movies. Wonder(heh) how much it will suck

Trying to think of great comic flick third acts
Civil War
Hulk (yeah really, the last scene between Nolte and Bana is a fucking sight to behold)
Spider-Man
Spider-Man 2
Hellboy
That's all I got off the top of my head
I would add The Dark Knight and The Avengers as well.

I hope Gadot gets a huge raise
$300,000 per film is kinda low for a prestigious character like Wonder Woman
granted that was figure from a couple years ago. maybe she's getting more already

As I've been saying since this movie was announced, comic book nerds are seriously underestimating Wonder Woman's wide spread appeal.

Anna Klassen said the movie is def gonna please critics. Bring it on.
One thing I've noticed is that enthusiast circles have a really hard time understanding "the mainstream."

A good DCEU movie? hmm

Yeah I ducked out when these threads started getting a little too mean spirited for my liking. But this is Wonder Woman! It's a celebration!
Seems have some confidence on how it will do, embargo moved up to Monday night
