movie was fire but the final fight was too CGI i would have perferred a big battleground with soldiers, the actress playing Wonder Woman is perfect and a good actress, I wasnt impressed in BvsS but she won me over :noah:

you can see hints of Marvel MCU formula in this movie

I apologize to the actress that plays Wonder Woman. I talked shyt about her in Superman V. Batman. I didn't think she could carry a movie. Boy was I wrong.

She is so damn gorgeous :noah: I would make out with her like I was a freshman in highschool before I beat. I came into this blind because I never read WW comic books and knew of her only through the 80s TV show.

Best DC movie in a long time. Maybe they got their shyt together.

In Smallville the Kents were just as terrified of Clark being found out and taken away from them, but they also made it clear to him that if he could help someone he had a responsibility to do so, not just because of his powers but because it was the right thing to do. Clark existed as a a fully formed fleshed out character instead of just being a concept that everybody else talked about.
That description fits the DCEU Superman too.
And Pa Kent on Smallville was always up Clark's ass about revealing his powers. If I recall correctly he was a total dikk about Clark rescuing Lex in the pilot.

Hate to break up this super man argument again but here's an interesting article from film school rejects that's relevant to this flick and other comic book movies. Since it's a topic we discuss I figured I'd share it


I disagree with their notion that TDK "ruined" the villains. What has been the issue that most of these comic book movies don't give a damn about the villain and toss them in as an afterthought or a counterbalance to the hero instead of making the villains into compelling characters on their own.
That is why The Joker worked so well in TDK, he was a fully formed character that Nolan/Goyer/Ledger put a lot of thought and care into crafting.
Its the same reason why Loki has been the only Marvel villain that isn't mediocre.
Its why both versions of Magneto (Fassbender and McKellan) have been so well received.
Its why (despite how much as people bytch and moan about his casting) I felt that Jesse Eisenberg was a successful Lex Luthor. There was time and care put into the creation of that character on the part of everyone involved in BvS. Same goes for Michael Shannon's Zod in Man of Steel.

so i just got out of wonder woman about an hour ago.

overall i thought it was an okay movie. the first act was great but the movie drags after that and it never reaches that level again.

gal gadot is a stunningly beautiful woman, like seriously she is probably the most beautiful woman i have ever laid eyes on. i wasn't in favor of her casting but if the goal was to cast a woman that had a commanding screen presence then kudos to whomever made that decision. her beauty alone demands your attention in every frame she's in. she truly feels like something not from this world.

as for her performance overall... i really don't have much to say about it. it was average. sometimes she was great and sometimes she wasn't. sometimes i thought i was just looking at a really hot chick in cosplay. it's whatever though, she was good enough i guess. she can hold it down for now. at the end of the day the movie achieves the most important thing... this version of wonder woman is cool.

now for the action. the action scenes in the beginning with the amazons and the use of slo-mo was glorious. amazing stuff. loved every bit of it. the action scenes in the 2nd and 3rd act were terrible though. jerky movements, lame looking CGI... she looked like a cartoon in some spots. felt like a zach snyder movie.

Thats his point though. He's using "ruined" as hyperbole but also in the sense we will now (for the most part) judge every villain against that one and they'll pale in comparison because they don't do everything that Heath did with the role.

I can honestly say I have never compared any comic book movie villain to Ledger's Joker since TDK came out aside from Jared Leto's Joker in Suicide Squad.

At this point the best versions of Superman we get on the big screen are Wonder Woman and Captain America.

I wish WB would realize you can do Superman and not have him be an emo alien used for Jesus metaphors. The way Diana and Steve are in the films is pretty much how Clark is supposed to be, so the idea that a traditional superman doesn't work is bullshyt.

yea the Snyder apologists and the 'Superman doesn't relate to present times' argument just took another major blow.

here we have a movie about a being from another world, who comes to earth to save humanity, who's morally perfect and better than us...who inspires us as a hero...who's super powerful and can stand up to even the most powerful villains.

but for some reason people can't get behind the idea of Superman?
