Wonder Woman 1984 - June 5, 2020

[Sassafras]

China is open....does that mean people are willing to go the the cinema??
If they open in my neck of the woods I wont go to see any movie while this pandemic is on going.

Me either. Hate it as luv the theater experience - especially Alamo Drafthouse - but ain't worth it.

The days of the movie theater are over

Not only they have an update on HBOMAX today but they gave me a release date for streaming

Tomorrow..Christmas Day of course ..12 pm est

I guess they wanted to make sure everyone is awake for the premiere

But will they still be awake by the time the movie ends?

they still have 31 days to try ...so should be smooth sailing

Streaming is just not ready for theatrical releases on their platform.

Mine as well as my neighbors all have stuttering frame drop issues with WW84.

We have wired connected internet at expensive faster speeds!

As soon as I switch over to my sons cartoon the stuttering stops!

Now imagine if two or three blockbuster movies were opening on streaming platforms in the same weekend.

Good luck with that.

just finished streaming

Patty is a queen of making these WW films so emotional and inspirational IMO

The world needs the message of this film at a time like this. I can’t believe that the timing of this film is perfect for how the world is experiencing right now.

It’s such an Erie coincidence

IMO both WW films can still give us faith that DCU can still shine when it needs too

Great job by Patty making both WW films seem completely different from each other

Gal is our WW now and the future, no denying it anymore and I hope Patty stays as director for future WW films

Just finished it. All around a giant "meh".

Its biggest problem is that the editing leans into the comedy a lot more heavy handedly than the first film, so what should have been the truly sincere tone carried over from the first film comes across as saccharine and cheesy. Pedro Pascal seems to be onboard with this, who hams it up to 11 in every scene and comes across as a cartoon. The biggest casualty in this tone shift is definitely Steve Trevor; who Chris Pine is clearly playing straight like the last film. But because of the editing tone shift he comes across like a doofus and tool.

Overall this whole thing is a mess that doesn't quite know what it wants to be; and feels awkward and soulless from beginning to end.

What the heck did I just watch it was like Aladdin mixed with Superman 3 lol

You guys hating because it doesn't have a Marvel logo.

Having said that, I saw the mall sequence and it's super cheesy....but, it kind of fits the tone of the 80's Superman films, so it's ok?

So many questions! This was weird. I’m trying to wrap my head around what I just saw. Who is Arista?

I think you mean Asteria.

Best part of the movie lol

What bugged me the most was the villain arc he just gave up so quick.

Her relationship with Steve was also good.

Barbara arc was good Kristen did a good job but Cheetah arc yikes that was lame.

I prefer the 1st.

 

[Khev]

Wait jye you subscribed to HBO Max, lol.

 

[jye4ever]

A gift lol

Lol. While I admit I find Marvel films to be of a more consistent quality, the first Wonder Woman is easily in my top 5 Superhero movies.

Which is why it was such a shame for me that this one went such a cartoonishly cheesy route.

 

[jye4ever]

It almost became Superman 4 but thankfully went back to only Superman 3 cheese.

 

[hellgrammite00]

Did not like it. Will give it a second watch maybe next week, but geez, something missing in this stew.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

A gift lol

After the Snyder cut.

That is an interesting comparison, hard to compare for me. It felt like Batman Returns meets Superman 4? The plot and cheese mixture.
