No way bro you got girl power on this one. Little girls will want to see this one so will little boys and bunch of guys will also. They will do pretty good I think because of this.

Its got about 70 reviews and will end up with over 200. Rotten tomato ratings always go down closer to movie release. It'll probably stay over 90 percent, but I'll be shocked if it ends up over 94 percent.rhutton125 said:
As of this morning, Wonder Woman is the best-reviewed comic book movie of all time. Ima go ahead and call BS on that.
Now, I know that RottenTomatoes' metrics mean that 97% of critics found a movie to be more good than bad, and not that it's an A+++ film. Also, comparing tomatometer scores isn't really fair. But for the sake of argument: better reviewed than the Dark Knight? Iron Man? Spider-Man 2? I think there's a good bit of the Luke Cage affect there.
A friend of mine saw it last night in Hong Kong and called it "decently entertaining." I'm going to do my best to carry that kind of expectation into the theater with me, and not 97% better-than-Oscar-winners-scores expectation.

Metacritic has the movie in the same league as the three you mentioned but just below them. 77 for Wonder Woman vs 79 for Iron Man, 83 for Spider Man 2, and 82 for The Dark Knight. I'm not sure where this anger at Wonder Woman is coming from, but it looks like people genuinely like it.
"It's been a bad summer"? Seriously, "summer" this year started in March. Beauty & the Beast, Logan, Boss Baby (!), Kong: Skull Island and Power Rangers made a combined $1 billion domestic. Add in a quarter billion domestic in April for F8 and $350 million domestic for Guardians vol 2 (and still climbing) and the box office just since March has been insane. If you go back to February, you add in Lego Batman, Get Out (which blew up), Fifty Shades Darker and John Wick 2.20ag07 said:
There is no way this movie opens to $100M+ domestic. No way. Just not happening. $85M opening weekend. Overperforms WBs expectations. "Look how much progress we have seen". "Wonder Woman single handedly saved the dismal summer 2017 box office. ". "Overall better than expected for the first time for a DC movie, etc." Goalpost shuffling all over the place.
It's been a bad summer, and it's going to get even worse. But as much as Universal and Disney want to complain that WB owned Rotten Tomatoes was the reason their Baywatch and Pirates underperformed (and not the correct answer of poor marketing), WB won't be able to turn around and squeeze out $100M with good reviews on a movie that should have opened to $50 or $60M.

Well to be fair, I want the entire comic book movie genre in general to fail. But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy some of the good ones here and there. I'm just tired of its bloatedness and the effect it has on the rest of the **** Hollywood churns out.
Yes, people want good DC movies. Unfortunately, DC has hitched their wagon to Snyder, who has a great (but increasingly repetitive and almost self-parodying) visual style that isn't doing the movies any favors.AliasMan02 said:
People want good DC movies. If the current incarnation blowing up is what gets that done, then people are for that. If WW is good, it can help right the ship and people will be more supportive.
Also, it's objectively hilarious how mismanaged the whole operation has been. Watching huge, out of touch corporations flail around is something many people root for.
Lots of us who want to see really good DCEU films I think get accused of being overly negative or anti-DC, when it's more than we're holding the films to a higher standard and hate how haphazardly the universe is being assembled (particularly in comparison to Marvel's high bar).Brian Earl Spilner said:To me it seems more like a lot of people want the DCEU to fail.dromo07 said:

The only people that want DC to fail are Marvel "fanboys" that have never read a comic book in their lives.
Well MoS was objectively a great movie, in my opinion.Quote:
Some people liked BvS but it wasn't a good film. MoS was ok, and Suicide Squad was flat out terrible. If you like them then hey, more power to you, but objectively looking at them they were poorly told stories and very tonally inconsistent.
