Really hoping that this will be good. Trailer looks good, and doesn't give too much away.
Gal Gadot and think she looks really good in the role. Think it is a bit "weird" that they decided against a "modern story" and are instead doing a "period piece"...... I love things set in the past, so whatever...... just seems to me that it would "simplify things" to just have introduced Diana into man's world in the present or the near past... Also means that her supporting cast (Steve Trevor, Etta Candy, etc) will all be deceased come any movie set in modern times.... |

Looks like they wanna make this their Captain America The First Avenger type movie. Might work out that way if so.

I like that it's a period piece. Helps with her character and why she was in hiding for so long prior to BvS. We will see.

Never really cared much for Wonder Woman to be honest. Nothing about this trailer interested me.

I like it. Gal Gadot is perfect as Wonder Women and I like that it's set during WWI. I'd imagine it would catch up with recent events at the end of the film.

Looks really good. Will probably see this in theaters. She was good in Bat vs Sup too.

I've never been big on WW, but this movie looks fucking great. Probably going to see it. Not going to look into her history either, want to "go in blind" or w/e. |

I was in the room for the Wonder Woman panel. Having never read a WW comic in my life, hearing Jim Lee and Gal Gadot talk about the character has definitely got me interested. They hooked my wife and I up with exclusive Wonder Woman Rebirth variants and I'm stoked as fuck to read it. I'm also stoked as fuck to see this movie.

Trailer looked pretty good overall.
Not too familiar with the comics but does she actually have an origin story taking place in World War I or is it because the studio doesn't want it to look like they are copying Captain America if it occured during World War II? |

Yeah it should have been WWII but the parallels are already way too First Avenger.
Guessing Ares is the villain? |

DC might be having another problem based on early screening results of the film. Involves a side character being seen as the best character in the film and not Wonder Woman.

Main complaints seems to be the story itself ranging between meh to average/generic, probably wasn't a good idea to have Wonder Woman be in Batman vs Superman since it sort of messes up this film's story, and how the tie-ins to Batman vs Superman and Justice League were done. |

Damn.... was holding out hope for this movie (for some reason, despite the track record)
Too bad that having cool supporting characters won't do jack for Wonder Woman in the long run, since in the present day her supporting cast will be all dead. One of the reasons why it is weird they went with a WWI period piece. |

And this is why WB should not have excluded male directors and tried to make some kind of point.
If this movie is really meh, there little social experiment will backfire. Ala Ghostbusters. Controversy that didn't need to happen. I am not saying it's because a female directed this, I'm just saying the grandstanding gesture during the director search will add hurt. On top of it being ironically sexist. This is my same fear for Jessica Jones S2 and Captain Marvel. |

Marvel has built up such good will its hard to ever imagine something of theirs tanking.
As for Wonder Woman, the situation above sounds like a disaster. We've waited who knows how long for a WW film, and the first one we get may not be the strong story and character film that is probably needed, which is sad. Oh well. |

Read more reactions and it does seem like something that could be hit-or-miss based on your view or interest in Wonder Woman.
Visually it seems to be DC's best film and might be their best film overall but also because previous films were average/poor for comparisons. http://www.digitalspy.com/movies/won...ing-reactions/ |

I remember the post early screening buzz of Suicide Squad, which ultimately meant nothing.
I hope this is good but have no faith in it. |

For some reason I still have hope for it.....
Maybe because I like Gal Gadot and think that she has the best look/costume out of all the DC movie people right now. Also because I like period/wartime movies. (Even though, as I stated before, it doesn't really make sense to have done it for Wonder Woman) |

It'll surprise people because it's fresh and relatively untainted territory.
Plus Gal Gadot is pretty cool. |

Extremely here for this movie. I have great optimistic hope for it, despite DC's track record so far.
Also it is not hard to imagine Marvel making something that tanks, especially since they just did. Would be good if people stopped blindly forgiving Marvel's shittier moments and being so gleeful in their takedowns of DC's films tbh. |

He's referring to the Iron Fist Netflix show which is being torn apart in early reviews. That said DC lost me with Suicide Squad when it comes to their movies. Not even gonna bother to check this out unless I hear it getting absolutely stellar reviews, and even then I'll probably wait until it hits the dollar theater or Redbox.

Something that hasnt released can't tank. Also tanking means failing to make money...
Its def been panned though |

I feel like tanking can take on different meanings but if Iron Fist doesn't do well I don't think marvel blinks.
D.C. needs Wonder Woman to do well. They're investing a lot into it with Wonder Woman being featured in 3 films over the course of a year. |

Eh, I was just pointing out what he was probably referring to. I don't really care much one way or the other about Iron Fist honestly.
I also gotta agree with Damian Rey here. Even if Iron Fist did flop Marvel likely wouldn't be phased by it. DC on the other hand can't afford another miss. They've lost too much ground as is. They absolutely need a hit on their hands at this point. |

It's hard to gauge what does and doesn't flop on Netflix since it doesn't publicize views like that (interesting if it did). Also, the media is kinda giving it and the star a hard time over him being white for reasons that only exist because of current bullshit in entertainment critique. We'll know when it's out, but the most consistent thing I've read is it drags along a bit so that may well be the case. And no matter - Marvel can afford to merely be 'good' at this point. Their weakest Netflix show is still weak in the context of all very good shows. The reviews seem like a case of godfall to me, everybody looks for failure after a string of hits.
