I think at this point Gal Gadot could do no wrong as WW even if her part was weak. I, for one, am smitten with this woman. She does a fabulous WW and appears to be warm and sweet as a person from all of the interviews I have seen of her. Her smile just warms me. #girlcrush

It's a shame that DC went watered down as opposed to sticking with their original formula. While some, ok most, of their movies have issues with editing that in turn kill the movie - fans go to see these films. And they seem to do well enough in the aftermarket.

For example, I may not love BvS because of Lex and the WTH edits - but fans on here really gave it another chance and said the Director's Cut was a solid film. I would watch the Director's Cut if I didn't have to buy a BluRay I would watch only once. Suicide Squad just had a REALLY dumb villain, but we all agree that Margot and Will did great in their respective roles.

So that being said, I will give DC my money in the theater and probably nothing else other than that. And I'm sure I will leave the theatre thinking that there was so much potential that probably hit the cutting room floor.

What happened with BvS in the aftermarket was odd. People said that they hated the movie...and then bought so many copies of it that it became one of the Top Ten Best Selling Blu-rays of all time. Huh?

$hitty editing KILLED that movie for me. Everybody says the BluRay, even non fanboys, is superior due to the fixes. Seeing in the theatre left such a bad taste in my mouth that I will not buy the BluRay. No way. Somebody wants to lend it to me - great. But I'm gun shy.

JL gets savaged in this review - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/0/j...beyond-saving/

The RT score tomorrow is going to be in the 20's I suspect.

lol i suspected no less, i think the majority of us realize we need to make our own judgments but sadly the majority of the movie going audience may buy into these overly bias reviews

to be honest though based on the trailers im not sure what to expect. i love MOS and BVS but this movie feels a little forced, im hoping the trailers just arent capturing the scope of the movie

I watched the movie last night. I liked it and thought it was better than BvS actually. The tone was lighter, but It was on point, most characters are very charismatic and Wonder Woman is the one who steals the show. I think It will be better received than BvS and SS, but not nearly as well as WW. Right now I would probably rate It 3 out of 5.

I don't think I will be disappointed in this movie. Anything with Gal Gadot in it will make it an enjoyable viewing experience for me

If this is true, the movie deserves to be trashed:

Except even the basics of this turn out to be bewilderingly difficult. At one mind-boggling juncture, the team inexplicably leaves the final Mother Box unattended in a car park, only for Steppenwolf to beam down and make off with it while they’re doing something else.

C'mon, the confusion is understandable. WW thought Batman was going to grab it, but Bats though Flash was because he's fast on his feet; Flash figured Cyborg was interested in it so he could tinker; Cyborg thought Aquaman was because he likes grabbing things, and Supes just didn't care as he was doing most of the work anyhow.

I'm a simple man.

If Superman's theme is in this film, I will enjoy it immensely.
