Brian Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) Y2HH, honest question. Why do you always start augments over this stuff? Like the cursing and name calling. Ah who cares. You'll just apologize later like always to save face. All of us want these DC movies to get better. It's not like we're hoping they suck so we can day "We told you so".

It's not like we're hoping they suck so we can day "We told you so". Mostly because I don't care? And I won't apologize this time. When I apologize it's because I actually mean it. I wouldn't mean it this time. He can go f*** himself. How's that for saving face? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You come into this thread and practically ask for it. So don't be surprised when someone does it because they don't give a s*** whether you ban them temporarily or permanently. Take your candy ass back to the Marvel thread where you belong. And don't even act like that's not true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't like MoS or hated the threatical cut of BvS I can't see you being warm to it but it's way better and was received as such. Also there's a lot of JL stuff too in the Zack Snyder cut. No cameos or anything but some plot points and stuff. Edited December 28, 2016 by Joshua Strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Wonder Woman was simply awesome. Just not sure how they can top it with the sequels...pretty amazing Patty Jenkins went from directing Monster with Charlize Theron as a serial killer to this project 15 years later. Gal Gadot, if she wasn't already, is now officially a breakout star. Right up there with the Nolan Batman movies, the first two Spider-Man's (Tobey Maguire), Iron Man I, The Avengers and the second Captain America film. D.C. has had their prayers answered. Great job!! Takes the sting out of box office disappointments like King Arthur, Pirates 5 and even Guardians of the Galaxy 2. (It was also jarring to go from Claire Underwood to a warrior princess, but Robin Wright Penn, Chris Pine and David Thewlis were all very good in their roles, probably the best romantic chemistry for two leads in a comic book movie since the Batman and Maguire/Dunst pairings). Even got in a few shots across the bow about multiculturalism/diversity and tolerance, but it wasn't too heavy-handed. Gadot and Pine also have great comic timing...in some ways, it was reminiscent of the Captain America films moving the leads pretty seamlessly through different time periods but having a good sense of humor about awkward situations that make Diana even more endearing. Plus, there are times you're simply struck by her physical presence, and how she battled to turn a thin model's frame into a dynamo of godlike energies/powers. Almost feels like she is on a higher plane than all those male superheroes because her femine instincts to preserve life are more natural/instinctive than testosterone driven heroics which we're so used to by now.

Brian Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) GOTG2 is a box office disappointment? I'm glad WW is finally a good DC movie, but I can't get excited for it.

I'm glad WW is finally a good DC movie, but I can't get excited for it. I'll catch it in the theater sometime. I guess I'm a bit biased because Chinese box office to me is getting close to an par with US in terms of overall economic impact (and yeah, the percentage going back to the US per ticket sold is only 25-30 cents per dollar.). GOTG2 has been absolutely wiped out by a Bollywood movie about an Indian father who trains his daughters to be championship caliber wrestlers. Nobody expected that. Perhaps the general tepid reaction and personal feeling it wasn't as good as the first made also caused me to write that.

Kyyle23 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 GotG2 is sitting at 81% and has already made more than the first movie in one month. Not exactly a tepid reaction as much as your personal feeling Im excited to see WW. It looks good and i am glad it is getting the great reviews, DC needs it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly a tepid reaction as much as your personal feeling Im excited to see WW. It looks good and i am glad it is getting the great reviews, DC needs it Metacritic has it at 76 for WW, 69 for GOTG2... Two best predictions were $82-95 million for opening (boxofficemojo), box office.com went for much higher at $111 million. FRIDAY AM UPDATE: Wonder Woman is off to an excellent start, bringing in an impressive $11 million from Thursday preview screenings, which began at 7 PM at 3,500+ theaters. Comparatively, this is just behind the $11.2 million Guardians of the Galaxy brought in before its $94.3 million opening and ahead of the $9.4 million Doctor Strange brought in on Thursday night before its $85 million debut last year. Both films were referenced in our preview below and the $85-95 million range might be just what we should expect for the film's opening weekend. Boxofficemojo.com $15.2 million in China so far, but I think word of mouth will really pick up....it's not as well known here in China (see Warcraft vs. Star Wars) and the World War One storyline won't resonate as well as WW II (Captain America).

Better than Suicide Squad and Superman vs. Batman, sure. I'd watch Ant-Man and Doctor Strange again over it as well. Something just didn't feel earned...maybe it was Kurt Russell's character. Maybe the soundtrack was just off compared to the first film. It's hard to pinpoint. When you watch Wonder Woman, the higher plane that movie is on just can't be compared. Maybe because it's so refreshing to see a female driven story, and because Cat Woman and Elektra were huge fiascos. It's just the perfect movie for this moment in history.
