Official WONDER WOMAN Thread

[MartyMcFly]

My one main issue with the flick, and maybe someone can explain this to me

Spoiler

Why did Steve die? I know from a story standpoint and thematic standpoint why and they earned that emotional moment but logically he didn't have to. Why couldn't he have just landed the plane in a field somewhere and been cool?

Who would've ever thought Gal Gadot played a more believable Wonder Woman ,than Ben Affleck played as Batman....I thought he was supposed to be the A-list actor...I don't care what anyone says she did her thing in this movie...Alot of people just don't wanna admit she was cast properly for this role,because they were up in arm's when they found out she got the part......

I think most of the criticism (which is still valid) is how she looks physically. Facially and to a lesser degree acting wise she nails the part, but from the neck down its ehhh. And no you don't need the extreme of former athletes or fitness models...plenty of actresses throughout the years have dramatically transformed their bodies for certain roles like Angela Bassett, Demi Moore, Jessica Biel, Emily Blunt etc.. Gal just didn't want to put in that work.

I think it was good, not great. It's missing something that's stopping it from being great but I can't put my finger on it. The most important thing this movie had going for it, is that it knew what type of movie it wanted to be and never lost the tone. The CGI was almost Prequel Trilogy levels of overdone. There were plenty of shots in which practical effects would've looked so much better. But every character had a chance to shin, their chemistry was great and she was serviceable.

i want to put that on mr snyder. Im not 100% sure. I think i saw he had a writing credit in there. The whole 3rd act smelled of him. It didnt have to go down like that.

I would imagine so nobody, including the Allies, would have access to the gas. I think he briefly explained why he had to Sammy and the Irish dude as well but it's escaping my memory at the moment.

The issue with her getting the part was she really didn't look the part...

She had no muscle mass whatsoever...She was model thin, 100 pounds wearing boots soaking wet...

WW isn't supposed to be super thick but she is supposed to look amazonian...

This isn't amazonian...

She's not wearing a bikini in the movie. The armor fills her out well. She's tall and athletic which is all you need. It's not like she's supposed to have natural strength. She is a god.

He couldn't land the plane ...They said it had a timer to explode regardless of whether the gas was released or not..

Ah okay yeah that makes sense. I figured it was something like that.

Also figured that too and I knew I missed it. Appreciate the answers

Yup, that's it. Completely slipped my mind.

Saw it last night.


I'd give it a solid 7.


It's definitely not a "93%" like Rotten Tomatoes is saying.


Shyt should be somewhere between 70-80....Lotta politics involved in that rating.
