Wonder Woman - June 2, 2017

[RIDDICK]

Yeah it was decent, Sean Connery as Big Boss is great, seriously, even the soundtrack is straight out of MGS lol

Harry Gregson-Williams was one of the composers on "The Rock".
And than he became regular composer for MG startin' with MGS2.

Oh, I didn't know Harry Gregson-Williams did stuff for The Rock, cool.

No wonder the familiarity.

So why didn't WW go after Hitler?

WB story layout really is easy to dismantle lol.

 

[snakeeyes171]

Wonder woman was awesome easy 9/10

 

[Mr. Green]

Judging from the scenery, think this is set in WWI, no Hitler.

 

[jye4ever]

I mean when Hitler showed up on the world stage.

WW ended on a high note with her leaping to the rescue once more so why did she retire?

Best thing about the 90s was the Coen Brothers. Then Tarantino. But yes, a lot of not that good, but fun to watch action movies. Still it was responsible for the single best DC movie ever made to this day. Batman mask of the Phantasm. My friend and I may have been the only two people in the audience when we saw it, but it blew my mind to see Batman done right and so effectively, and to this day has not been beaten.

Well at the beginning of this movie, she said something of not knowing much of the world. After the defeat of Ares, humanity eventually went back to conflict/war. She eventually decided to basically give up. It seem to compliment BvS' WW. Besides, if she didn't kill that Dr. Poison, she is not going to kill Hitler. Ares is basically the main villain to end all villain, to her.

90s had some good films, but was lacking in the action department imo. Not well represented in your list for that reason. Though I also enjoyed True Lies.

And if I had one major thematic quibble with the film, it would have to do with this idea that Ares was somehow causing all of this conflict leading to World War II. How do you then explain the Cold War or what happened in China or the koreas or Cambodia or Vietnam etc etc etc. I wasn't much of a break really after World War II beyond the kind of global peace between Western powers that was due to the US taking on this role as a global hegemon the integration of Europe into what later became the EU and the threat thermonuclear war. It also takes blame way from all these leaders like Hitler, Stalin, and Hirohito who contributed to the conflict to begin with. But ... ... comic book movie. It's fine no big deal. But that was kind of stupid.

I don't know, Braveheart alone redefined action movies.

These were all leaders in the action department.

True Lies
Heat
Starship Troopers
Braveheart
Independence Day
Saving Private Ryan

I don't think of heat as an action movie primarily. And of course the Spielberg movies are good no matter what decade they are made in. Same could be said for James Cameron. Or Mel Gibson. So what does that leave you with? If you're an Independence Day fan then that's on you my friend.

I haven't seen the movie, but Ares doesn't always cause conflict, most of the time he just feeds off of it. He in fact likes us because we're naturally belligerent.

I don't know if the movie puts all the blame on Ares for WWI or it if just shows him taking advantage of it.

What I was wondering was

why didn't the sniper just shoot WW in the head? He had an opportunity while she was just standing there talking. Can she block shots she can't see coming? Anyone see Full Metal Jacket?

Heat's gun shoot out is considered one of the best movie gun battles in cinematic history.

ID4 is just silly fun lol.

Because he wasn't an American Sniper.
