I think if you remove the vocals from the song, it works a lot better. Still love the footage in the trailer. I haven't seem anything in the trailers to give me pause like BvS or Suicide Squad (mainly the Joker)

Looks good.

It really does.

But... you know. History.

Whatever. I am mostly ambivalent about Suicide Squad, but BvS has grown on me quite a bit after watching several times on Bluray.

MoS, BvS. And all the trailers for WW so far. Sign me up.

Warner Bros. just had some kind of critic/fan event screening of the movie tonight on the lot. A full three weeks before release (a great sign), first public screening of any kind. Reactions are embargoed for now, but there's a general wink-wink kind of buzz on Twitter right now that's definitely hinting at super positive.

You guys know the drill by now... but again... any positive reactions out of these kinds of early screenings should be taken with a grain of salt. That said, this does feel different from BvS or Suicide Squad. Both of those had immediate and resounding negative reactions, whereas here, there sure seems to be a hint of quiet, assured confidence. Might we finally be in for the first truly good movie of the DC extended universe?

Just going off the trailer, Wonder Woman seems like it has potential. I always thought the trailers for Suicide Squad and B vs S were stupid but Wonder Woman, at the very least, has had much better trailers than those two movies.

I believe Zach Snyder is listed in the credits as a producer.

Doesn't mean anything. Christopher Nolan was a producer for Man of Steel and BvS.

Whoop!

Haven't come across a negative reaction yet. Will post when I do...

Man I might be excited for this now.

Hype Train!

Somebody go ambush the DC execs who are trumpeting WW with all the old "no jokes" talking points.

Just saw this, probably a bunch of overlap with TCTTS' post.

Really excited to see this feedback. Unless plans change, Wonder Woman will be the first DC movie I've seen since Man of Steel.

Just wondering why so many of them emphasize that it is funny, as though in order to be a successful comic book movie these days you must have quality humor like the marvel universe.

I don't think they're necessarily saying that it has to be funny, but a little humor really helps tone down the seriousness. Look at the Marvel movies (Iron Man, Avengers, Guardians, Thor). They all have some levity that prevents them from coming across as super serious. Why would you not want to incorporate some of what makes Marvel so successful? Especially given D.C. Has already tried something else. D.C. has typically missed on the humor and the films are dark and seem to take themselves too seriously. I'm not saying that was the primary fault with those movies, but I think some good laughs buys a lot of goodwill and allows the audience to overlook some other shortcomings.

Because the perception among fans right now is:

Marvel = fun and cheery movies
DC = dark and brooding movies

People enjoy going to Marvel movies while people still subject themselves to DC movies. Maybe DC is finally waking up to this.

And it doesn't all have to be Deadpool/Guardians style humor, but in real life there's humor as well as fear, darkness, and seriousness.

Dark Knight is a great example - the Joker's humor was borderline terrifying, but worked both to relieve the tension and build on the character. That disappearing pencil magic trick might be the single best gag of any of the comic-book movies yet.

Let's be honest, "the best DCEU film yet" is a rather low bar

Glad to hear positive reviews though, looking forward to this one.

---

thinking the same thing...

Revenge of the Sith was the best prequel Star Wars movie : /



this may be the first DCEU movie I actually go watch in the movie theater.

If it's on par with Man of Steel I'll be a happy camper.

Best poster yet...

Meh....is it supposed to look cartoony? As in some sort of take on the old school recruitment posters or "We Can Do It!" poster? If so, then I get it...I guess. But if not then it simply looks animated and fake.

It's a bad photoshop. Look at her right hand. She should at least have muscles flexed and and maybe a strained look on her face. Very clearly they said put your hands in the air, and everything else was added later.

Comes out in 1 week! I think there's still an embargo for full reviews, but all the social media buzz that I've seen (including a screening last night) has been pretty positive.

that tank might as well have the letters "DC" written on it.

I'm glad the early reviews are positive. I'm hopeful that WW is awesome as I think she was one of the few parts of BvS that was really good and I can't say I have high hopes for JL

Lol, yeah, I'm now convinced it'll be worth checking out for free from the library in 6 months or so.
