What I missed really was the humor which isn't in this one too much. I don't think it really goes full Super Hero till the last 30 minutes which honestly is the worse part of the movie I thought maybe someone else will disagree. The last 30 minutes is the worst part of the movie for a few reasons! Humor was lacking, very dark for wonder woman. She is a great character of light & hope, this was very grim for her. I liked it, it's just some people have said "best superhero movie ever" & I don't see that. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have clarified, I went with a friend who hadn't seen it and asked me to go. I could have been a heel and said no it stinks, but they offered to pay for the ticket and food so why not.

Yes my wife who knows nothing about comics commented on that as well! I did like her relationship with Steve I thought they did that really well. The 2 of them had Chemistry! A No prize to the 1st person who tells me that something Diana says reminds them of the "Princess Bride" movie from the 80s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Wonder Woman! She deserved her own movie long before this! Trailer for Justice league that showed before WW didn't look so hot.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw what seemed to be an intro to animated DC Universe in place of the flipping of Marvel comics pages intro to Marvel movies. WW movie was better than I expected. Nice balance of romance, few gags, history of Paradise Island, better epic battle conclusion than BvS: Dawn of Justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcjames Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) 3/5 stars. Gal Gadot is fantastic as WW. Perfectly cast, perfectly played. As was said earlier, chemistry with Steve Trevor was well done, boat scene dialogue was quite humorous. Telling of early backstory was well told and fit with the plot. Also, WW performance in the trench war and battles was excellent. Perfectly cheer-worthy. However... Spoiler The movie itself needed editing, probably could have cut 15-20 minutes. Again as others have said, the final battle was the weakest part, Ares was just ridiculous. Professor Lupin trying to look like Magneto. Despite some good humorous attempts early on, by mid-movie the overall tone was darker than it needed to be (hey, it's DC) and a bit preachy especially by the end. Still, for WW first solo movie, she did good. Nothing about her or her backstory was weak IMO. Edited June 3, 2017 by jcjames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSpideyGo Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I'm crazy about the movie. Saw it twice already. 3rd time tomorrow/today. All at Dolby Cinema outlets. Fantastic. 1. Wonder Woman 2. Man Of Steel (and I LOVED this movie) 3. Batman Vs Superman 4. Suicide Squad ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 The feedback so far seems to be it's an entertaining movie with solid casting and a good story. It just needed a better third act, and slightly less screen time so as not to lag. The villains sound like a mixed review. A powerful looking Ares like the animated Wonder Woman would be great. And I like the idea of it ending with him feeding the flames for the next world war. It's what the character design would lead you to assume he would do.

Bosco685 Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) Another first for a DCEU movie - a CinemaScore of 'A'. ‘Wonder Woman’ Breaks Glass Ceiling For Female Directors With $98M+ Debut; Earns ‘A’ CinemaScore Quote After weathering lackluster critical scores and OK fan responses with last year’s Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad, all is well and correct in the Warner Bros./DC universe as Wonder Woman is both a hit with critics (94% Certified Fresh Rotten Tomatoes) and audiences alike earning an A CinemaScore on top of her current $98M opening. Out of all the titles in the WB/DC canon, Wonder Woman owns one of five rare A grades along with Batman, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. Saturday will determine if Wonder Woman propels past $100M, and a few believe it’s not out of the question. Now Wonder Woman can look forward to some super powerful long legs for the rest of summer thanks to both a great Rotten Tomato rating and excellent audience reaction, read Screen Engine/ComScore is now reporting a 74% definite recommend for the Gal Gadot movie.

Flex Mentallo Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) Very few SH movies have handled the mythic particularly well. What made this movie thrilling was Diana's internal growth - you always wonder if she can withstand the bullets. What made it human was Steve Trevor's sacrifice. What made it epic was that a little girl turned out to be a goddess. Greater than Superman. And by the end perhaps more powerful. And more human. If they could only learn from this, what might we see? Edited June 3, 2017 by Flex Mentallo Azkaban and piper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsilverjanet Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Tickets for Sunday at 10:15am purchased i was going to buy them on Thursday but we weren't sure of the time we could go. Plenty of tickets were available for the first showing. However by Friday night there was probably only 6 seats left (not including the first 2 rows) it would appear word is spreading as a must see film greggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
