phenomenal movie. hot damn

Anthony Hopkins appreciates two things in life:

1. Good coffee

2. Good pussy

And Elektra.

Seen it yesterday, I liked it and Gal Gadot is great as Wonder Woman.

Hell ya. Amazing movie.

Apparently DC dodged a huge bullet by switching directors for the film. Original director and script would have made the film really terrible and sexist. Would have been an easy contender for worst ever comic film.

That would have killed the DC movie universe.

Whedon has always sexualized his female leads though..... not a surprise.

Id have to read that before i believed that tbh

This is weird, I always considered Whedon to be a good filmmaker.

No idea why he'd want to go with such thing.

Yeah I'd need some sort of concrete proof to buy that. If it was that bad, why would wb give him batgirl?

The link contains portions of the script he was working on at the time although to be fair a bit, the script itself is from over a decade ago. He was working on a Batman script during the same time that also got rejected/ignored for Batman Begins instead.

Either his vision for comic films changed a lot during the past decade or the script for Batgirl isn't character-destroying terrible which is why Warner Bros is comfortable with it.

I think this is the best DC movie by far, but I think the film needed more to be great rather than just good. The whole starting section was kinda dopey, and I think you could have ditched a lot of it and had a tighter film. The dramatic loops didn't really tie up, and I suppose you have a Wonder Woman character who will be dramatically different in other stories than this one. I don't think she needed to be quite so much of a naive idiot. Still, a big improvement on the two messy Superman films.

Wonder Woman is 4 million away from knocking off Spider-Man (2002) for most highest grossing (Domestic) superhero flick of all-time. The movie made 3 million this weekend so by this time next week it is likely to have happened.

Is it still on wide release in the States? The 2 biggest chains only have it playing in 2 theatres (both in London) here.

Nah, its been out of market for a good while

Still playing in one of the major theaters here..... one of the two.

I keep reading this as "quit playing games with my heart" just because I want to.

Gal Gadot is in for such a huge pay day with the next film.

Women only Wonder Woman screenings turn out to be illegal:

Women power!

OH ARE THEY

WOOOOOOW

Idiots. Hope they get hit up like an atm.

Anyone willing to sue them over it is just desperate for attention and also hoping that they will get something good.

Basically the same type of people who have made it so that we now need "obvious" warnings on things like "Caution: Hot" on hot beverages........

Yes. Discriminating against a sex is the same thing.

It is in this case. A small inconsequential thing that no one should get bent out of shape over.

This is the last I'll say on the matter as I am not looking to reignite this debate, in which I believe only slik and I were on the right side.

Didn't know it was okay to only let certain people attend an event. Good deal.

*criminal side

Lock Jaw your response to this potential lawsuit simply would not exist in reverse. There is a case and it would be an easy win. Talking about how many men were leading comic movies is not even close to a viable legal defense. Somebody's getting a payday.

And again; the actual event is benign. But the principle, the inconsistencies, must be put on notice to prevent discriminate precedents set in the future. If it wouldn't fly for one race or gender, then it doesn't fly at all. Ever.

And best they get message across before they try this shit with Black Panther.

Amazing.

Wonder Woman 1.5 million away from being the highest grossing origin pic.

Adjusting for inflation 1978s Sperman is by a wide margin ($1,789,662,782 [most succesful super hero film of all time {origin or not} for those playing at home.]) 2000's Spider-Man and 2008's Iron Man also beat it.

Just so all the facts are there.

Destor is such a male pig.

It's true

In any case WW debuting on the big screen in a struggling DCEU against a juggernaut of a rival studio did very well and it doesn't need to break records to make a statement for her side.

absolutely

Top box-office, when adjusted for inflation, not a single film of the 2000's cracks the top-ten:

...and?

Movies were more popular in the past because there was no post theater viewing options....films were events...
