In ex-USSR countries WW has brought in one half of what King Arthur did. What a brand awareness can do.
I guess Im alone with my wife then, I thought the movie was the most boring thing DC has put out. 15 min of action, a bunch of cliched and uninspired dialogue and mis cast lead. What am I missing, what was good about it. IT did manage to put me to sleep in the theatre, a feat not accomplished in the last 20 years.

Personally, I thought it was outstanding. I was very impressed with the film. They made the characters likeable. They got the gritty misery of the First World War spot on. They avoided a lot of "low hanging fruit" that they could have easily grabbed. I'm looking forward to more of this.

There was the beginning fight, the "NO MANS LAND" scene (have to say that was the only really heavy handed scene, which was nice) and the final showdown, aside from what a few small scenes of a quick fight (alley scene, Chris Pine stealing the notebook) did I miss something else major? Felt like the movie had 2 set piece action scenes "NO MANS LAND" and the final fight. For an almost 2 and a half hour long movie it seemed light on action. It wasn't BAD by any means, it at least the best of the DCCU.
And I still can't get over Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. I don't mind her, in general, she is just too small and waifish. Her frame is wrong for the role, she is like Black Widow or Wasp or Catwoman frame. Gina Carano I think has a better Wonder Woman frame little short and I doubt she could carry the lead of a movie like this. Gal did as good as she could but I did find her small size to be almost distracting, the same way a shitty accent is, it breaks immersion.

I guess some people just wanted to see a big bust.
Take that as you will...*chuckles*
She is an inch taller yes, but her overall frame is smaller, no hips no thighs, I also have no great attachment to Carter's WW either. She was likewise a bit on the small size for my image of an Amazon.
I didn't say two SETS, I said 2 action set PIECES. Aside from No man's Land and the final fight, was there another Large scale, minutes long action sequence. I don't quite count the beach scene at the beginig, it was only like 2 minutes long. Not a proper action scene.

Personally, I don't think the DC Movie Universe needs Superman to resurrect at this point. Wonder Woman is an acceptable surrogate.
While I'm not saying it was super freaking amazing it was a decent movie itself. Especially when you look at the others that DC released, Batman V Superman, Man of Steel. Both were done so poorly, imo, that you couldn't get much worse. Even Justice League looks completely terrible, but out of all them Wonder Woman was definitely miles and miles better. So far it's the only DC movie I'm considering picking up on BluRay when it comes out.
The nomansland/ town assault was a pretty lengthy scene, since we're both estimating times though (and it ultimately doesn't matter really), hard to say without getting a little TOO pedantic for the discussion.
It doesn't surprise me that some folks didn't like it, it just hit the notes I wanted it to hit.
She definitely isn't the same size as comic WW, but I had no issues with her being an amazon warrior demigod. The other Amazons were similar size and had a good enough look and feel. Batman has been played by a wide variety of body types, and it really never mattered for the role. Superman always has to be muscular I suppose, but I've not seen anything really varied.And I still can't get over Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. I don't mind her, in general, she is just too small and waifish. Her frame is wrong for the role, she is like Black Widow or Wasp or Catwoman frame.

6/10
-2 for the general idiocy, goofiness and military ignorance, and uninspired dialogs. Also black Amazons.
-1 for Gal Gadot. Amazon with such a nose is a joke, and woody acting from all participants.
-1 for bad, claustrophobic FX.
I understand the rather constraining budget of $150M, but still that enough to act better. Scenario could've also been better.
There is just maybe two good moments in the entire 3 hours. MEH.
Wonder Woman has had lots of different looks and builds over the years on the comics. That being the case, I thought Gal Gadot looked outstanding as Wonder Woman.
