I really don't know why so many people online seem convinced this will be a good to great flick based on "amazing trailers" that feature par-for-the-course action moves with a few equally passable quips. Many further fervently believe this will finally give us an "optimistic and uplifting" DCEU superhero, in the midst of a senseless war that apparently caused her to give up on humanity for a full century or so. (Did I mention that the story was co-written by Snyder in addition to playing in his ballpark?) Granted, I have nothing to say against Patty Jenkins or Geoff Johns, but Martin Campbell is a fine director, and he made Green Lantern, so mere proficiency and professionalism aren't causes for wild hope in of themselves.
Though I admit to being biased against the DCEU, and am entirely open to seeing it crash and burn once Justice League comes out and gets its ass kicked by Thor: Ragnarok two weeks prior, I do hope this will be a legitimately good flick, even if I do find all the fawning over the trailers irritating. Said trailers are just fine, no better and no worse.

Personally I'm just excited for the movie because of the time period and to see Wonder Woman finally have her own film. I'm definitely more of a DC guy and I've been very disappointed with what we've gotten so far, but I just try to be happy we have something as opposed to nothing. The Justice League and Unlimited series still holds up well and I'm sure I'll be revisiting them when the big movie comes out.
Heck, it totally makes sense to have that reaction; I love the idea of Wonder Woman fighting in WWI. I've been saying for a while, what is the point of me watching DCEU when I have 14 years of show that handles it better, but, to expand on that and because I need to know, don't we already have a Wonder Woman movie that's well liked? (Seriously though, is it well liked? I've seen some sites claim that it's the best one and some people claim it is the worse one.) Isn't that movie also going to get a sequel soon. Do we really need these table scraps when we already have full meals?musiced921 said:
Heck, so far, every single DCU movie has been an inferior version of an older one: Man of Steel is pretty much a less focused version of Superman I and II, Batman V Superman is a longer, worsely paced version of The Dark Knight Returns and Superman Doomsday, and Suicide Squad is a poorly editted and poorly paced version of Batman: Assault on Arkham.
What's the point of seeing worse versions of movies that have already been adapted well? Why are people asking for a universe dependent Red Hood movie when we already have a practically perfect, standalone adaptation of Red Hood (with a fan edit that makes it even better)? Why are people asking for Justice League when we already have successful Justice League movies? Why are people not going to the proven product instead of the eternally disproven ones?

So true! My wife is into superhero movies, but she can't seem to get herself into the animated ones. She in general loves a good Pixar/Dreamworks animated film, but getting her to watch even a 20 minute Superman The Animated Series is impossible.
Very true, but you'd think self proclaimed DC fans would actually be watching them and refering to them as great adaptations instead of saying things like... "Batman V Superman is one of the best adaptations of comics ever, because Dark Knight Returns and if you don't love it you're not a fan" or "I love Suicide Squad because I love the characters, and just seeing them onscreen is enough; stop being sheeple."addiesin said:

No, because self-proclaimed fans of a single franchise who take pride in not being fans of any other franchises are simply brand loyalists. It's no different from people who rush out to buy the new Apple phone despite Android being a cheaper, better option for most people. It's no different from people who pre-order video games or whole systems and then complain about being ripped off by No Man's Sky. It's not even that different from drug addicts rushing out to purchase their fix as soon as they can despite knowing they're throwing their lives away. Or people who waste time on political or religious arguments. You can't show them sense. You can only set your own example and wait for them to find their own sense. Most will not, so the best thing to do is leave them alone and live YOUR life, do what you want, and like what you like.

New trailer dropped called "Origin"...
It doesn't reveal anything more about the general plot but fills in some of the background of WW's character. Again it looks good and has some genuine LOLs this time (Loved the London gag).
The poster used in that thumbnail is pretty great.

That poster is phenomenal. I really hope this one can be good. I'll be lucky enough to get to see it this weekend at a veteran's film festival.

Personally, Paolo River's "Captain America: The First Avenger" poster is my favorite superhero movie poster of the past two decades, but that Wonder Woman poster is indeed excellent. It's simple, iconic and beautiful. Much better than the typical sloppy Photoshop job you see nowadays.
