Wonder Woman 1984 (Patty Jenkins, Dec 25, 2020) Movie • Page 18

i liked this (or at least had a better first impression) more than shazam
sorry if that offends

 

Shazam is so much fun. Haven’t watched this yet but can’t imagine this is better

 

is this entertainingly bad or just bad?

 

My gf and I are on COVID quarantine, so spending two and a half hours just laughing and baffled by almost every choice in this movie was a nice treat

We opened it up by asking "is the stream messed up or did they choose to make the font look that shitty?"

It was their choice. So 1980's! lmfao

 

It wavers throughout the movie. Some parts are entertainingly bad, some parts are uncomfortably bad, other parts just are bland and drag.

 

I thought the movie was fun and entertaining enough where I have no regrets for watching it anyways. Just cringe dialogue at parts and dull sections.

They could have trimmed so much of the runtime by just removing some extremely long and drawn out camera shots of background things that offered nothing to the plot

 

I wonder if people will fight to see "The Jenkins Cut"

 

i watched batman returns and while there’s nothing interesting about pointing this out, catwoman in that movie is basically i’m-you-but-stronger to cheetah in practically every way

 

I rank it higher than those as well, but it’s miles away from touching “top tier” DCEU

 

What do we consider top tier in this DCEU? I liked Wonder Woman 1 and Shazam, and heard some good buzz around Aquaman and Birds of Prey, but it's otherwise all been meh. Unless we count things outside of this particular universe like The Dark Knight

 

Yeah I’d say just Wonder Woman 1 and Shazam personally lol

 

Honestly I had the most fun with aquaman. It’s not the best DCEU movie but probably the one I enjoyed the most.

 

Birds of Prey is pretty easily the best of the bunch for me. Shazam and WW were good.

 

Yeah, to me, if a "top tier" is like a "top 5", this movie definitely falls under that umbrella in this current DCEU. Not that it means it's any good

 

WW
BOP
Aquaman
WW84
Shazam

then whatever

 

Oof idk that I could say that this movie is better than Shazam. At least that one was a lot of fun

 

i was speaking in terms of preference, don’t blame anyone rating shazam higher

 

I thought the first WW was painfully boring tbh

 

Haha totally fair, we all have our preferences, it's just wild to me

 

WW
MoS
Shazam
WW84
Aquaman
BvS
BoP
JL
SS

 

Birds of Prey & the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn is my favorite by a very large margin. Then, Shazam! is my second favorite by a similarly sized margin.

 

WW
Shazam
Aquaman
BoP
BvS Ultimate
MoS
JL
WW84
SS

 

I saw someone talk about how Wonder Woman doesn't ever fly in BvS and JL even though now we know she could.

I'm also confused about how much of a public superhero Wonder Woman is by the time BvS/JS happen. She didn't seem to be hiding at all in that shopping mall sequence or in the car chase.

 

yeah but she kept telling everyone to make sure seeing her in costume was their little secret and I’m sure they all kept it to themselves for the rest of their lives

 

Going into this movie, that was absolutely a concern I had. I felt like WW's "arc" in the DCEU up to this point was sort of like "she stepped into the world of men, became a hero but because of the experience couldn't continue on that path until convinced otherwise by Bruce" ... which sort of sucks that BVS, as far as I remember, made it so that she needed coaxing to become a hero again rather than her inherent desire to do good, or to have her come to that decision on her own.

I would easily pretend that BVS never existed and take this as the next logical step in Diana's journey following the first WW ... if any of that made any sense haha.
