Oh, and good thing there were no kids in the audience because my theater accidentally played a couple red band trailers before the feature.

What am I saying, it would have been hilarious if there were kids there.

I wonder if they decided to do it in WWI because Captain America took place in WW2 and they didn't want to seem like they were copying them?

I think whatever the reason it was a good idea.
There are plenty of movies that take place during WWII, only a few during WWI. |

Only part why it is "weird" is it meaning her traditional supporting cast will all be dead in the present. At least Captain America had a traditional supporting cast waiting for him in the present. |

From what I can see only her bf will be dead, her amazon family/friends are just as long-lived as she is.

Credits rolling now. While the critique that this does nothing for the canon of the DC film continuity is absolutely true as predicted this movie os stellar.
Chris Pine may have been good but anyone sayimg Gadot didnt steal the show watched a doff picture than i did. It might be the best super hero performance to date. SPOILER: show Realy enjoyed it. Hope this is their tone going forward. |

Just saw it. Loved it. Kickass, Fun, Good characters and good action/fight sequences. Gal Gadot comes across as a huge star.
Stalls a bit in the middle but I thought the setting worked perfect and I liked her character arc in the movie. |

I dont give a lot of 9/10s and i next to never give 10/10s. But i think this is a 9/10 because it has such a strong cultural impact. I think 15 years from now the movie will be a part of a shift within not only the genre but he industry. There were a lot of achievements going into this and it all came together in a really satisfying picture.
I cant rave enough about the star power Gadot brings to the screen. She has a vulnerability that is endearing but manages to straddle the line amd have a strength that is incredible and hats off to Patty Jenkins for figuring out how to walk that line. Wondy could have easily come off as weak but she absolutely doesn't. SPOILER: show My only grips were that it stalled at the top of the 3rd act, the green screen matting was generally so poor that i was aware i was watching a film, that the film does nothing not only for the greater canon of the brand but even for the franchise and SPOILER: show It stands up with Winter Soldier which in my opinion is the best super hero film to date. |

You guys are right that this movie doesn't add much to the canon, but it does give audiences a reason to latch onto the character before Justice League comes out. You can let audiences learn more about aquaman, flash, and cyborg when that movie comes out, but the trinity should be firmly established before JL hits. This movie accomplishes that for Wonder Woman.

But ultimately these are serials so you want something from them in that regard. But again, im not saying the film is worse for not having it. I just would have liked *something* connecting it to a larger narrative.

It "kinda" does, with that picture being from BvS. They just did it backwards.

Also gonna add that I was worried Gal Gadot wouldn't look the part, as she's skinny, and not the first frame I would look at when thinking piwerful warrior, but again she pullled it off.

I will, at some point.
Much like Sixx, I've just never really been into the character, and trailers didn't really do anything for me. But I do go to see all comic book/superhero movies in the cinema, so I'll maybe go see it Wednesday. |

No spoilers here. But 9/10. The movie was great. Gadot came off as a huge star. Pine was great. Even the backup characters served a purpose in furthering Diana's character.
The fight scenes were good. And honestly, when she finally debuted in full outfit, I teared up. I don't have any history with the character, but the dad came out in me. I saw this movie and thought to myself that I cannot wait until my daughter is old enough to see and understand this. They write Diana in such a way that's both adorable, sweet and naive but strong, independent, and fierce. Absolute landmark film for D.C. and they finally did something marvel hasn't and now can't. The definitive super heroine film, imo. |

She's filled out quite a bit. And looks very athletic and strong, just not thick. But yeah, she nailed this

How the hell is the only hero in the Snyderverse that's an actual hero is Wonder Woman?
Batman is more Crazy Uncle Steve (Credit: Linkara) meets Homicidal early incarnation Batman. Superman does the right thing because it benefits him. The Objectivist Superhero. Wonder Woman does the right thing because... it's the right thing to do. And kudos for not doing the obvious cheesy line when they brought up "No Man's Land." |

The Wonder Woman theme (the one also in BvS) also grew on me...... I like it now..... but every time I try to "hum it", I end up humming the "Get Smart" theme........
