The film has been out for a week already. If you don't want spoilers, why would you click on the thread?!
It's not for my benefit, I've seen it. The quality of a film can be discussed for prospective viewers to identify whether it's worth watching without spoilers being revealed no?Saw it tonight. It was ok, one of the better DC movies and I like this incarnation of Wonder Woman. Definately had a Captain America vibe about it.
Unfortunately some of the effects were pretty ropy and I felt the story plodded a bit too much in places. Chris Pine came across as quite awkward against Gadot's excellent performance. A lot of the humour just didn't hit the mark and it felt a little forced in places and a little too obvious in others.
It just didn't look or feel as polished as movies in the Marvel series and it's a shame WW isn't a marvel character as I feel Marvel Studios would have done it much better.

Yeah, early reviews said that it was pretty decent and seemed to be giving it about a 75% rating, which is good but not earth shattering. However, the PC/SJW element so prevalent on the internet seems determined to say it's the most amazing superhero movie ever since it has a female hero. I don't think that they are doing the movie any favours as building unreasonable expectations can ruin a good movie for the expectant viewer who's ready to see a total blockbuster.Unfortunately some of the effects were pretty ropy and I felt the story plodded a bit too much in places.

I'll probably wait and watch it when it comes out on streaming. That said, I actually really liked Batman vs Superman and thought WW was a great character in that so I might like it better than I think I will.
It's really not 'earth shattering' though - a female directed superhero movie with a female lead will always bring out the white knight brigade who will cry "OMG best movie evvvverrrrrrrr"
The movie was ok and I like the character - but it could have been a lot better - and DC still have a lot of work to do if they want to come out from behind Marvel's shadow.

yes, I'm sure that really happened.......Lance Catamaran said:
A grown adult, male or female, seeing a superhero as their role model is pretty sad to be honest.
I think it's more to do having representation on the screen. The comments on Mayo & Kermode, Facebook reviews etc seem to confirm plenty of women have been quite moved by the film and what it represents.I saw this last night and entered the cinema with trepidation given Suicide Squad and Batman vs Superman... However I thought it was pretty damn good film.
Well paced, with a good introduction to back story without lingering on it to for to long. Great action scenes with many well timed slow motion set pieces. I only realised who Ares really was later in the film but thought it was clever the story ark of him hiding in plain sight.
Its a solid 8/10 for me and I'd welcome any future films in the story arc!
