Dropping my rating from a 4 to a 3. DCEU fail. Again.

Who knows why they did, perhaps it just looked better on screen.

Really I cannot remember a single ending to any of the Nolan Batman movies. My recollection of The Dark Knight was the Joker hanging off the side of a building and it sort of just ending. Or was that the ending where he decides to be the bad guy for a while?

I guess there's times when you know too much to enjoy a movie.

Michael Corvin

It's a movie where an invisible island full of only women "births" a demigod to the world to fight a real god and someone is concerned with the accuracy of the WWI uniforms?

RichC2

Almost all of the backdrops and cgi on the island looked really bad to me. Jarring in spots.

I don't see why that's funny. If they made it a point for the film to take place during the WWI, I would expect things to not look like WWII.

I doubt it will make or break the film, but I do appreciate it when producers respect the intelligence of the audience.

johnnysd

Always someone hating on the CGI. I never really notice it. Are you looking specifically to find flaws? I mean I still think that this is great CGI.


So I am not sure I will ever notice bad CGI

RichC2

Naw, just catches the eye wrong and never quite "looks right". It's one of those "Once you see it, you can't unsee it" things that gets frustrating from time to time. If you can't see it now, don't try to, keep the illusion alive!


Most of Jurassic Park benefited from animatronics and using computers to enhance instead of create, though I guess they did do a few full CG overlays.

story

My spouse and I both had the day off so we dropped the kids at preschool and caught an early matinee. I liked it quite a bit, she loved it. There's some clunky pieces along the way, and minor irritations (Steve and Diana really didn't talk about anything on the sailboat?! Seems like all the dialogue when they got to the city could've happened on the boat, in terms of what would actually happen, so my disbelief wasn't all that suspended there). We both agreed Gal Gadot's smile could melt steel, very pretty. Pine did really well. Didn't get much payoff for the squad. Saw Ares coming from a mile away. Liked the action, enjoyed Diana's journey. I'd see it again and we're giving serious thought as to whether to take our 5-year-old daughter. Might have to wait for the Blu-ray on that, though.

My problem was with the ending, it was a clusterfuck. Overall Wonder Woman kicked ass.

Mondo Kane

So much for that! New rankings: Logan, Homecoming, GOTG2, WW. Two more to go.

johnnysd

My ratings would literally be the exact opposite.

Nice

Finally saw this over the weekend. Fucking loved it. I gave it a 4.5/5 rating. Had the film been trimmed down just a little, I would have given it a 5. But I think it's the best film of the Summer. "Dunkirk" is a close second.

mikehunt

Finally saw it. Enjoyed it a lot, probably the best of the DCCU so far
my huge nit pick, what happened to the German ship? It's shown coming through the cloaking bubble as the small boats are landing, so they would have seen the battle, and it just goes away without bombarding the shore?

Jay G.

It's subtle, but when shown through the bubble, it appears to have hit a reef or rock or something and is slowly sinking.

musick

finally saw this last night and for all the praise this received the bar must be set really low for DC universe movies

EDIT: and I see above comments about the CGI/green screen ..... it was very noticeable and not in a good way

Count me as another who didn’t think much of this movie.

Maybe I went in with expectations too high, but I didn’t see one thing in the film I thought was remarkable.

I’m not a comic guy so maybe I’m not invested in the character as much as some, but then again I loved the TV show as a kid. This WW just didn’t do anything for me. Sure Gadot is gorgeous but I don’t find her to be even a decent actress. The Thewlis casting is baffling. The ending as stated by others, just a mess. Too long (and I like long movies - when they’re good).

I know this will be met with derision but I may have actually enjoyed Suicide Squad more and I know I liked BvS better. That’s not to say any of them are good films. I’m just stunned at the love for this one. I think every Marvel film I’ve seen has been better with maybe Doctor Strange and Norton’s Hulk being the exceptions.

I’m excited to go see Thor 3 soon as I think it might be the fun film I was expecting this to be.

My wife teared up during this movie several times (especially the "No Man's Land" sequence") because of the female empowerment messages. And she's someone who's seen and enjoyed nearly every comic book movie we've seen together back to stuff like Blade. This was just so different from those male-dominated films that it really struck her (and me too, for the record).

Mabuse

OMG girlpower!!!

I liked the film for what it is. It was smarter than most of these second string comic book movies. Wife liked it a little more than me.

But isn't the No Man's Land thing just about as on the nose as anything could possibly be? They set it up so you can see it a mile away.

I was more amused by a moment that no one in this thread has mentioned: When she sees him nude and then the conversation turns to his wristwatch. That was clever writing and a very efficient scene that sets up their relationship and their mutual curiosity about each other. That's the best scene in the movie. Clever, subtle, romantic, humorous.

Obi-Wanma

Nah, they could have made it more on the nose by having Wonder Woman say: "I am no man!"

I was actually afraid they were gonna go there.

Michael Corvin

When do they reveal "No Man's Land" though? Wasn't it right when they get there? Something to the effect of a character telling Wonder Woman, "this is No Man's Land, no man has ever crossed it," and she proceeds to march into battle. Not sure how "seeing that coming from a mile away" is a some kind of negative when it all happens in a span of a few minutes. It's not like they telegraphed it a half hour prior to her showing up on the battlefield.

Troy Stiffler

Worked in that other movie.
