Wonder Woman - June 2, 2017

[punisher1974]

Well well well...

WW has given WB it's 2nd best 3rd weekend drop in WB history, 30%, only beaten by TDK!

Impressive is an understatement.

WW is officially a bona fide hit for WB.

On the other end of the female spectrum we have ScarJo with her 2nd consecutive bomb with Rough Night not even breaking the top 5.

Gadot on her way up, Scarjo on her way down.

Scarjo ca go down anytime for me.

In no way this movie's feministic.

Next time a woman says: "Wonder Woman rocks because she's a girl and now you should worship me"... just respond with: "when you look like her and wear that outfit then I will."

Truly though, I don't see this as a feminist movie either. I think a lot of women out there are just grasping on to something to carry on about, especially after Ghostbusters was berated so badly last year.

This is different than ghostbusters. Ghostbusters was about queef jokes and man hating directed by a self hating white male.

Wonder woman is a movie co written by a woman, directed by a woman about the sttenght of women and a movie about a super woman saving the world.....

Ok, nothing special about that.

about the sttenght of women and super woman saving the world

Nope.
1. Amazons are not human
2. They're completely separate culture that never had men involved in any way so the fact that they're women is irrelevant
3. Change her gender and 80% of the movie would be the same

Sorry, WW is as feministic as "The First Avenger" with its Peggy Carter character.

I thought the message of Wonder Woman was that dads rule and moms are unnecessary. Zeus brought her to life without impregnating a woman and it was her Zeus powers that defeated Ares, not the training she received from her mom and aunt.

 

[jye4ever]

Yup all that Amazonian taekwondo did squat lol

 

[RIDDICK]

Zeus brought her to life without impregnating a woman.

Ummm... you sure? I thought he made sweet love with dat Amazon queen, makes much more sense than the whole clay story.

Khev said Zues not QuiGon

Though I enjoyed this film quite a bit (particularly in juxtaposition to the other terrible work put out by DC in recent years), I wouldn't go too far in trying to infer deep themes. Even the core message of the film itself wasn't very well thought out, or at least conveyed. It would be a bit much to suggest there is a rich, profound sub-text here. It's a superhero fantasy story, with a genuinely good guy (or rather, Gal) who uses violence to promote peace (if not fully truth, justice, and the American way). Very conventional, by the numbers stuff. Pretty surface level, "popcorn" fun. But we needed that in the DC-verse.

So what your saying is WW isn't 2001?

 

[karamazov80]

It's 2010: The Year We Make Contact at best.

saw it yesterday.. after the Batman Trilogy best DC movie.. very nicely done !

 

[RIDDICK]

the Batman Trilogy

"Batman Forever" is not part of the Burtonverse tho.

Sorry, I was speaking about the Dark Knight movies with Christian Bale

 

[RIDDICK]

I know, just messin' with ya.

ah Im not a DC expert.. so WTF do I know

Technically according to WB it is. Same Alfred and Kidman references Catwoman from the previous film. I think most people would have even accepted it as a valid trilogy had their never been a B&R.

Yep. But the city, its people, Wayne manor and Batcave are WAAAAAAAAAY too different to consider it a straight sequel.

Quasi-sequels were common thing back then. "Silence of the Lambs" is technically a "Manhunter" quasi-sequel. "Desperado" is a quasi-sequel of "El Mariachi". Every "Mad Max" sequel is quasi.
