Wonder Woman is about to come, will it be a hit?

[Nathreim]

It will suck.

[proralph]

*scratches head in confusion*

Honestly, if I'm the only one expecting much from it but go on the internet for sources so I can argue why, I'd have a lot of priorities to set straight.

My point would be a bit childish but I'm pretty interested cuz of Gal and it's a DC movie. I'm not a too much comic guy, but my friends drag everything in the discussion. That is why looking for some good arguments!

You've just listed your personal arguments. You're interested in the movie because of the main actress and the brand that supports the movie. If you have faith in both based on good things they've done in the past, that's all you need to justify yourself.

Movies are a subjective topic because they're designed around subjective views. I'd argue there are basics every movie requires, such as relatable characters that are developed, solid plot and story and proper explanation if things are found lacking.
In the end, there will be people who like Adam Sandler movies.

It looks like it could be the best DC movie yet. then again, a time lapse of a corpse rotting in the sun could probably take the title at this point.

[Thoughtcrime]

Noooope! She can't act. Also, did a quick IMDB search, the story is written by Zack Snyder and the screen play is by some dude I've never heard of whose only writing credits over the last decade are a scattering of episodes from a bunch of crappy tv shows, same for the director. So let me elaborate a little more.

Noooooooope!

[the game]

I haven't cared for anything that's been done with the DC universe. Except for the dark knight movies.

[Guyv3r]

Can i be ahead of the curve and blame misogynie for its inevitable flop?

TBH, it's probably the only woman superhero that looks badass. Bonus points for not being forced a sex change to please feminists.

I'll probably enjoy the movie if they don't do it badly.
That OST <3

Thank you for putting up straight and clearing my head. I'm surely not a movie person now, damn, that hurts!

[A Dark Knight]

movie with be a hit critically and financially

[Swalload]

I like watching both DC and Marvel movies, and excited much about Wonder Woman. But my friends and colleagues are criticizing it much because of previous DC movies, specially Batman vs Superman. I need strong words to counter them because I'm expecting much from it!

She was the only cool thing in Batman VS Superman, I like the character and I think she's the right actress to portray her (completely unrelated to the fact that she's hot af), but I'm not blind to the many fails of DC stuff lately so I dont really wanna keep my hopes too high and just be disappointed.

(but secretly I'm hyped for Wonder Woman)

Just like MoS, BvS and SS then.

How so?

I was simply pointing out that even though movies are a subjective topic there are basic requirements.

Think of it as looking at a painting. If there's no frame or paint, it's not a painting.

Same with movies. If it's so unimmersive that you can't even identify it as a movie, or even worse, everything is put so clearly into scene that you can only think of the characters as 'actors', it's basically not a movie.

You don't have to uphold the values I require to be immersed in a movie, but anyone will find it lacking if you can't even identify it as a movie.

pretty much, but WW will get a higher RT score.

Oh you were for real? Prepare for disappointment then!

how do you know he cant act? snyder is co-writter of the story along with geoff jones, and patty jenkins did Monster

1: Because I've seen her try? She's awful, has zero charisma. She's just good looking.
2: He's involved in the story, he can't write. That there are multiple writers is creatively much WORSE. Tolstoy didn't have a bunch of hacks writing chapters for him.
3: Note that I said "over the last decade"

The film may be a 'hit' in the commercial sense just like a lot of Adam Sandler and Transformer movies are. But it's still shit.

They dont need it to be a hit, just break even. The whole movie is nothing but some backstory leading up to the Justice League

[A Dark Knight]

right back atcha

[Segus1992]

right back atcha

I'll be disappointed because you think it'll be better than I do? Uh, okay.

[Tradewind]

After BvS, don't trust a goddamn thing DC/WB are putting out. Will wait until it's free and then decide if future films are worth the money.
