2023-01-24 03:14:01 +0000 UTCI really liked Gals performance as Wonder woman aka Diana especially after even before the film came out people were body shaming her cause wonder woman isnt supposed to be that thin but she did great and I enjoyed it especially her theme her theme is my fav out of the DC live action films. Check out some of the animated movies tho the Green lantern First Flight is 100 times better than the shitty live one they did

2023-01-23 16:51:50 +0000 UTCwow, and I liked that ending too. Overall the film is miles better than the 2nd

2023-01-23 12:45:08 +0000 UTCYour “what a twist” voice makes me KNOW your impersonating Bartok from Anastasia PLEASE let’s rewatch that together!!!

2023-01-22 08:58:42 +0000 UTCAlso Aquaman between Shazam and TheSS. The origional SS happened in the newer movie, but is only worth a hand full of shots and character beats

2023-01-22 00:22:54 +0000 UTCCant wait to see what's next, IMO BvS, Shazam, TheSS, and then personally I'd love to watch the 4 hour cut with you. The full story is worth the time and earns the moments rather than just being "cool" in the 2017 cut. Wonder Woman was a blast to revisit and MoS too :)

2023-01-22 00:18:06 +0000 UTCAs you get older, you realize the villains aren't really the bad people. They are trying to achieve a good goal, they just have a mess up way of doing it. Ares was trying to show his father, that his creations the humans were not good people as his father saw them as. Even Thanos, wiping out half the planet was because he thought by reducing the population, that the other half could thrive. Lex Luthor thought that a person who had powers like Superman, could one day wipe out earth and kill every human. Good reasons.

2023-01-18 03:21:43 +0000 UTCYou should definitely watch the UK version of ‘The Office’ soon, because Lucy Davis is very funny in it, and her character is the UK’s version of Pam.

2023-01-18 01:42:39 +0000 UTCHaven't even watched the commentary yet, but I will say, Natalie, The 50 Shades sequels may not be very safe for Youtube, but they are hilarious. Some of the best undercover comedy movies out there in my opinion.

2023-01-18 01:33:26 +0000 UTCOf course, Wonder Woman is a God, Superman isn't. Not till later in the comics books that he becomes a God.
AlimonyMoney
2023-01-17 15:46:49 +0000 UTCThe second movie is trash. Jenkins killed the Wonder Woman franchise with the second one. Out of Superman, Batman, Flash and Green Lantern, she is the only God. Synder believes a God can only kill a God, and he brought that believe into Justice League. Alot of people do not know that the bracelets she wears, actually keep her powers in check. When they are removed, she goes into berserk rage. She is also a love interest with Superman. The movie was a little too long. The CGI was terrible, but they don't have Disney type money backing their projects either.

2023-01-17 10:54:49 +0000 UTC@Richard Maurer - "You ask me to name what I think is great in Phase 4" Nope. I asked you to name me a project by Disney/Marvel in phase 4 that remotely measured up to the greats of the previous phases. And I noticed you dodged the request. I honestly don't blame you, as there isn't one. "And by their other legacy Characters I assume you mean Ironman and Captain America." Not at all. Those two were thankfully given graceful exits. I was thinking more along the lines of Hulk, who was pathetically comical, nonsensical, and outright emasculated in the travesty that was She-Hulk. And speaking of emasculated, the jury is still out on Daredevil but we've already been assured it will be "toned down" to meet a more Disney-fied standard. Which in essence means the show will lose everything that made it special in the first place. Or Thor, in the film you admitted yourself is utter dogshit. Or Hawkeye in his mediocre self-titled show that also managed to turn Kingpin from one of the only memorably good villains in the MCU into an outright clown-show. Or the retroactive ruination of Black Widow in a movie that should have been more akin to a serious Red Sparrow type story (and done 10 years prior), but ended up turning every one of it's characters into buffoons and had a lead who rather than plugging her nose or killing her advisory from a distance, decided to laughably break it on a tabletop self-mutilation style. All in an attempt to simply replace her with "Widow 2.0" who's not even half as likeable. Or Dr. Strange, the movie that managed to completely undo the lessons and journey Wanda went on in her own adventure just to sideline the doc in his own movie. Kind of sad too, as WandaVision at least deserves an honorable mention for creativity even though the writing devolved pretty badly by the end. I could go on, but I digress...lol "overall I think Phase 4 was an interesting set-up" For what? The slow and painful demise of the MCU??? lol..... Look, I hope things get better in phase 5, I truly do. But past things dealing with legacy characters, such as Guardians 3, or Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, I'd say you're likely in for a long run of mediocrity and diminishing returns, which if you're honest with yourself, you know has already started.

2023-01-17 10:42:51 +0000 UTCWarner Bros. is responsible for ruining the Hobbit movies too, according to at least one of the actors from the films,

2023-01-16 21:30:26 +0000 UTCI've said before and I'll say it again - the worst problem with the DCEU was Warner Bros.
Richard Maurer
2023-01-16 17:25:50 +0000 UTCIf you're talking about the DCEU, without spoilers, when did any hero kick Superman's ass? And as far Woman Woman goes, it's long established comics canon that WW is close to Superman's power level. Why would the movies be any different?
Richard Maurer
2023-01-16 17:21:52 +0000 UTCFun fact: The whole third act of the movie (which involves Diana meeting the *actual* Ares and having a big ridiculous CGI fight) was forced and shoehorned in by the studio at the last second. Both Zack Snyder and Patty Jenkins (the directors) adamantly opposed ending the movie that way. This is sadly yet another case of studio heads butting in when they shouldn’t and making a movie worse.

2023-01-16 16:06:32 +0000 UTCI am really hoping Nat does The Last of Us after Wednesday is done.

2023-01-16 12:25:38 +0000 UTCDoesn't anyone understand Gal Gadot needed those heels to accentuate her calves. Otherwise she just wouldn't have appeared attractive to the audience /s
Richard Maurer
2023-01-16 09:13:12 +0000 UTCLifted the plot? Apparently it's just a remake with a gender swap. I noticed a number of similarities as well but you really brought the point home. Now you might be saying your post is just humor but that is a lot of similarities to be just coincidence
Richard Maurer
2023-01-16 09:03:28 +0000 UTCI definitely almost agree.
Richard Maurer
2023-01-16 08:56:14 +0000 UTCBrian Jones - you clearly don't get tongue in cheek humor. Here let me help you out: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongue-in-cheek
The Dingo
2023-01-16 08:52:52 +0000 UTCIf this were a MCU movie it would be considered mid-level, maybe slightly above that.
Richard Maurer
2023-01-16 08:45:15 +0000 UTC"the creative director and head of Marvel content doesn't start course correcting, scrapping projects, and sending current projects to re-writes if he thinks things are going fine." Actually that is exactly what he does, in every Marvel Phase so far things have been tweaked to course correct. With something as convoluted as the MCU, especially with the addition of the Disney+ series, things will have to be adjusted along the way, Overall Marvel's track record has been nothing short of amazing, with only one true creative failure, Thor L&T (imo, since I already know you disagree about Phase 4 let's not waste time as you're not going to change my opinion anyway).
Richard Maurer
2023-01-16 08:40:48 +0000 UTCI feel like you keep trying argue something with me that a is waste of time for both of us. We've had this conversation before. You ask me to name what I think is great in Phase 4 just so you can tell me how it's really awful. And as far as me admitting that Marvel is course correcting, and how they are doing their legacy characters a disservice - I've already said that Thor L&T was garbage, but that is literally it, nothing else in Phase 4 is even close to that bad. And by their other legacy Characters I assume you mean Ironman and Captain America. What exactly did they do to them? RDJ and Chris Evans left of their own accord, what can Marvel do if they don't want to play those characters anymore? But back to my main point. overall I think Phase 4 was an interesting set-up, with some admitted mostly minor growing pains, for what is to come in Phase 5, And I'm sure you will most likely to write a post telling me how wrong I am. So let me tell you my answer now - That's your opinion and you haven't changed mine, nor can you as I fundamentally disagree with your opinion. I don't really need to say more.
Richard Maurer
2023-01-16 08:23:50 +0000 UTCMost of your points (many of which are stretched a bit beyond credulity to be honest) can quite literally be attributed to almost any war film (suicide pills) and/ or generic action film (enemy leader shoots the messenger) in a related genre, and certainly many a comic book origin film (funny suit). The same similarities exist in their comic book print runs as well. If you really want to criticize this as a movie, just point to the third act which is a complete mess from a writing perspective....lol.... Also, I don't remember any literal "Gods" showing up in Caps first film, nor do I remember a Bucky-like character being present in WW. I don't seem to remember Wonder Woman being used as a tool for war propaganda, nor do I remember Steve training on a hidden island of Amazonian hotties. It wouldn't take long to make a list twice as lengthy of their differences. Just saying. :)

2023-01-16 07:39:06 +0000 UTC@TwistedMagoo - "Maybe if the DCEU wasn't being (justifiably) ripped down to the studs and rebuilt it would be worth checking it out for the sake of completionism" Vs. the X-Men franchise? Which at the time had already been purchased by Disney and was/is in the process of, how did you put it, "being (justifiably) ripped down to the studs and rebuilt"?🙄🤦 Or Disney/Marvel? Who's in the process of doing the same with much of their Disney+ content and cinematic universe while still attempting to keep some semblance of continuity? I just find the hypocrisy of some in the comment sections quite amusing regarding these topics. All three of these cinematic universes have had their good, bad, and ugly, yet only one is getting the "selective viewing" treatment.🙄
Brian Jones
2023-01-16 07:15:03 +0000 UTCI have seen it. It's better than the edited version, but it's too long, and it's not good. Maybe if the DCEU wasn't being (justifiably) ripped down to the studs and rebuilt it would be worth checking it out for the sake of completionism. But given that they have decided to reboot the DCEU with a competent director at the helm...I wouldn't bother.
TwistedMagoo
2023-01-16 06:58:26 +0000 UTCIf you want a good DC movie, try one that doesn't take itself too seriously like Shazam.
Kevin Bartelen
2023-01-16 06:34:49 +0000 UTCThe end of this movie kind of exemplifies the problem with DC. I think it works well enough for this movie, but by the end of the movie it's quite clear just how overpowered she really is. I often hear complaints about how overpowered Superman is and yet EVERY other DC hero can kick his ass. The only real threat they ever face comes from them not using all their power because it's too early in the story.
Kevin Bartelen
2023-01-16 06:28:03 +0000 UTCyou should definitely watch the UK office. only 12 episodes and a xmas special. so bingable
Franco
2023-01-16 05:39:02 +0000 UTC@Richard Maurer - And while you're entitled to have your personal opinion Richard, the creative director and head of Marvel content doesn't start course correcting, scrapping projects, and sending current projects to re-writes if he thinks things are going fine.🤷
Brian Jones
2023-01-16 04:09:43 +0000 UTC@Richard Maurer - "Why do you assume Marvel fans are not able to be critical" Because of some of the clear schlock they overwhelmingly vote for? lol "The rest of Phase 4 ranges from mediocre to great" Name me one example of "great" in phase 4 from Disney/Marvel that lines up with the best of the previous phases. Just one. "This is my honest opinion, and just because you disagree doesn't invalidate it." Calm down Richard, this isn't a personal attack. There are literally people shitting on Justice League in this comment section and in the same breath admitting they never even saw the film. Starting to get the picture? Many others who clearly weren't paying attention when watching the films as they either can't recall details of the films, state factual mistruths regarding the films, or are intentionally skewing their comments in ways that are factually false.🤦 "So don't bother to waste time telling me for the hundredth time why Phase 4 is bad or the DCEU is good" When did I claim the DCEU was good? What I have claimed is there is good among the films and bad among the films Richard. Just like Marvel. And that the fans of the films should be given the same respect in her viewing the films in said universe. I've been very clear about my personal opinions on these movies throughout, and no more preferential to one universe than the other. I've listed in these comments how I feel about this film as I did in MoS. There are countless entries into the DCEU that I personally think are horrible, but I still think the fans of them deserve the same respect. It's that simple.🙄 And yes Richard, phase 4 is bad. It's an oversaturated mess of shlock that not only disservices it's legacy characters, but gives absolutely horrible entrances to it's new ones. The only real exception being a Sony Spiderman film. There's no way around it. Even you yourself have admitted that Marvel is course correcting because even THEY know it's bad. So please, just stop with the nonsense regarding what is indisputable fact.🤦
Brian Jones
2023-01-16 04:01:55 +0000 UTC@jamie jones - So here's what we know as fact Jamie (not spouted as rumor after the fact)..... Snyder was without question in charge of the direction of DC at the time of production of the first Wonder Woman film (at least as in charge as he ever was). Snyder is clearly credited as a writer on the project, and Snyder stepped in and physically directed portions of the film and was notably on set for much of the production. Not to mention the film (for better or worse) having both the Snyder look and style. Also a film that still embodies the Wonder Woman character and lines up with both BvS and Justice League in feel and story. VS...... WW1984.... Which was done well after Snyder's departure. Which Jenkins, and Johns both proudly claimed credit for (at least up until it's laughably poor reception), who's writing is directly credited to Jenkins and Johns, and which is considered quite possibly the worst DCEU film out of the bunch. A film that Patty herself essentially insinuated on multiple occasions was her baby. A film completely disconnected with the universe where WW, "our heroine", essentially violates a guy over the course of the film, and has a villain that embodies Jenkins' TDS laden political slant. Patty clearly fucked up and wasn't up to the task Jamie, and has no business helming a project like that. But hey, whatever you have to tell yourself so you can sleep at night I guess?🙄🤷
Brian Jones
2023-01-16 03:26:55 +0000 UTCI'm not a massive fan of the DC movies that came out but Wonder Woman is actually not too bad. got some really well cast actors and actresses which make it much better too.

2023-01-16 01:10:24 +0000 UTCThat's hilarious 😄
Opti_Frog
2023-01-15 23:49:01 +0000 UTCSnyder is not credited as a screenwriter on wonder woman. And the writers guild wouldnt allow jenkins to receive a writing credit here. They have very strict rules about who gets credit. And sorry but its almost universally agreed that bvs is downright bad. Cool that you like it but most didnt. And nat said at the end of wonder woman she didnt really care for mos either.
jamie jones
2023-01-15 23:28:54 +0000 UTCI would love it if Nat would react to Green Lantern.

2023-01-15 23:27:52 +0000 UTCHere is a YT video about the wedge heal you and Jill Bearup don't like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTmTnWHXWqs Jill makes videos about armor and stage fighting because she likes doing it in real life. She also has a dry sense of humor. I hope you like it.

2023-01-15 23:22:42 +0000 UTCDCAU is top tier. DCEU sucks ass and definitely needs saving although Gunn isn't really the best one to do it either
Danishprince
2023-01-15 22:55:01 +0000 UTCI really enjoyed Gal Gadot's casting as WW. She does a good job showing both that child-like wonder and innocence of a world she's never seen before, while also showing fierce determination and confidence when needed. She's a better actress than the material she had to work with. It's a good movie. Not great, but good.
John
2023-01-15 22:52:34 +0000 UTCNow that you have seen WW hopefully you will "go back" and watch Batman v Superman.
Garrick Smalley
2023-01-15 20:30:15 +0000 UTCYeah, well, you just don't have to watch her reaction. Let us who enjoy the movies experience with her reaction and if she hates it like she hated LETHAL WEAPON, that's the final say, haha

2023-01-15 19:27:51 +0000 UTCAgreed - Gunn's The Suicide Squad was fun
The Dingo
2023-01-15 19:26:22 +0000 UTCI don't. Those are not good movies.
The Dingo
2023-01-15 19:25:35 +0000 UTCShe was spot on. It was good compared to DC movies, but if you expand past DC movies it really is a below par movie.
The Dingo
2023-01-15 19:24:22 +0000 UTCKey Plot Points in no particular order: - We see our hero in present day; there is a relic of a past time that sparks memories of a world war. The rest of the movie is a flashback to that war until we return to modern times at the end of the movie. - A determined youth feels called to fight a world war to protect the innocent even though their government refuses them each time they try to convince the government to let them. - An enemy leader receives bad news, and then proceeds to shoot the messenger, literally, and then encourages the evil scientist. - The enemy leader has been exposed to an experimental formula that enhances them. - Our hero wears an outfit that makes people look at them funny. - A captured assassin takes a suicide pill. - Someone discovers a McGuffin that they feel will, and I quote, "change the the war". - A woman is looked down upon by soldiers who don't understand she is more capable than they are. - The hero defies a general's orders to attack an enemy base behind enemy lines with the help of the general's subordinate. - Our hero gathers a ragtag group of soldiers in a bar and convinces them to be their personal strike force. - The enemy general has a disagreement with other enemy generals, and then kills those who disagreed with him using his evil scientist's invention. - The hero runs into a battle against overwhelming odds with just a shield for protection and none of the enemies think to shoot them in the leg, and this generates unapparelled belief, adoration, and loyalty in the soldiers who see them do this. - The main hero doesn't know how to slow dance. - A captain named Steve rides to the final battle on a motorcycle, after which he hijacks a plane full of weapons of mass destruction and sacrifices himself to destroy those same weapons of mass destruction. - The hero of the movie has a watch to remind them of their love interest. - A heroic montage showing the end of the war where Captain Steve is remembered. - A return to present day where the hero remembers their love And the kicker: I am describing Captain America: The First Avenger which came out 2011, 6 years before Wonder Woman came out. I like Wonder Woman, but this movie's plot was lifted from Captain America.
The Dingo
2023-01-15 19:17:59 +0000 UTCAs I've made clear a number of times before we have way different opinions of Phase 4. And since they're opinions they can both be valid - for ourselves.
Richard Maurer
2023-01-15 16:39:47 +0000 UTC@ Brian - Why do you assume Marvel fans are not able to be critical just because they don't have the same opinions as you. I really despise Thor L&T but as far as Phase 4 goes, that's it. The rest of Phase 4 ranges from mediocre to great, with most being at least good. This is my honest opinion, and just because you disagree doesn't invalidate it. But if I were truly a "Marvel zombie" I would be trying to make excuses for the last Thor movie. And I'm just as honest about my opinions of DC. I have consistently championed the DC movies I like, WW, Shazam, and The Suicide Squad. But rest either aren't good or carry too much baggage from the bad ones (Snyder cut of Justice League) to recommend. So far Marvel just appeals to me more, and the commenters and Youtuber's aren't going to change my mind just because they have their own agendas. So don't bother to waste time telling me for the hundredth time why Phase 4 is bad or the DCEU is good because you're not going to change my mind - I just don't agree with you, and I know what I like.

2023-01-15 14:35:58 +0000 UTC@Richard Maurer - I'm aware, and hopefully it takes a turn for the better, but you've already got a muddled universe that's lacking or has outright ruined its most beloved and iconic characters (not to mention the talent that I listed above who were responsible for most of its big hits), so it's going to be an uphill battle. But Gunn has the same obstacle to overcome at WB/DC as well, and even less money to do it with. I'd say once we get past Ant Man (which has never been a huge performer for Marvel anyway) and Guardians 3, it's going to get really interesting for Disney/Marvel. The only thing future Marvel has going for it is brand recognition, and that's taken a huge hit over the last year or so. I'd pay real money to see hard data on how much any of the phase 4 Marvel shows and films are actually being watched/re-watched.
Brian Jones
2023-01-15 13:51:37 +0000 UTC@Richard Maurer - I'd say it's a fair question. I'm a fan of SOME of both DC and Marvel's films, and they both DEFINITELY have their share of schlock. The irony being that most Marvel fans don't have the ability to pick apart their own franchise rather than playing the whole "must be in team A or B" game. It's as bad as political partisanship. The people usually championing anything Marvel here, are the same ones doing their damnedest to shit all over any and all DC suggestions. It's about as transparent as cellophane.🙄
Brian Jones
2023-01-15 13:38:52 +0000 UTCWere any actors ever welcomed as a good casting choice for Batman? I think even Christian Bale got some flack at first. The only way to please all the Batman fans would be to pull the real Batman out of an alternate universe.
Richard Maurer
2023-01-15 12:48:37 +0000 UTCI think it's going to have to win a poll, unless she makes an executive decision, which I wouldn't hold my breathe for.
Richard Maurer
2023-01-15 11:51:10 +0000 UTCI'm hoping Gunn can reign in his comedic tendencies a bit for the new DC movies. I wouldn't want them to go the way of Thor at the hands of Taika Waititi.
Richard Maurer
2023-01-15 11:47:54 +0000 UTC@ Brian - Feige has recently started to make changes, like scrapping the apparently awful Blade script and not keeping Taika Waititi on Thor. that give hope for the future. Although I still think there was way more good than bad in Phase 4.
Richard Maurer
2023-01-15 11:36:18 +0000 UTC@Logan Kerlee - Same issues with the original Superman films though. Movies by committee. The studio fired Donner on the second film and it was all downhill from there. Same problems either way. DC films have always been a production nightmare (usually directly attributed to the studios involved) since the 70's. Same with the Batman franchise in the 80's/90's. Nolan is really the only one that cracked the code, and that was just a three film Batman run. @Richard Maurer - "The thing that Marvel did right that they should have copied was Kevin Feige." Yes and no.... I mean, Feige oversaw phase 4 and it was a complete mess, so it's not like he hasn't had his missteps as well. I'd say Feige, for whatever reason, has gotten rid of some of the best talent he had over the course of the last few years. The loss of the Russo's was huge, as was the loss of people like Whedon, Branagh, Wright, and Markus and McFeely as writers. And it's certainly visible in the output since Endgame. But either way, that's the whole point of WB hiring James Gunn. Only time will tell if that's a good move for them though.
Brian Jones
2023-01-15 10:11:17 +0000 UTC@Myles Away - "Nothing about the ultimate cut significantly changes the film." There are scenes in the Ultimate Edition that quite literally flesh out things that make no sense in the theatrical cut.🙄 And yes, many a critic online and in print changed their opinion regarding the film upon viewing the directors cut. Main reason given? Because it quite literally made more sense. Don't get me wrong, it's still got issues (which comic book films don't?), but it's a far better film overall, especially narratively. @Chris Cooper - As for Zack Snyder's Justice League, it is highly rated by both critics and audiences. Kind of odd that you would knock it having not even seen it. Agenda much?🙄

2023-01-15 09:41:53 +0000 UTCOne thing that is often missed is there was a second god in this movie. Chief is actually Napi, a Native American demi-god. His is the only one that never gets subtitled when he speaks in his native tongue. He introduces himself in Blackfoot as Napi. Napi is also know by several different tribes as the Old Man, Coyote, among many others. It also explains his line how his people were conquered by Steve’s people. It’s a subtle easter egg and a part of the story I wish they had built on more.

2023-01-15 08:21:05 +0000 UTCThis movie is wildly overrated, it's great until the final act and then it's undone by the final act.
Andrew Polinski
2023-01-15 05:41:36 +0000 UTCI have come to realize that most of the DCEU films are somewhat decent. Until their final acts that is. For some reason they just can't stick the landings. And the way they miss isn't even consistent. MoS turned into a Michael Bay level destruction film. BvS has one of the weirdest reasons for the turnaround, plus the cgi villain was pretty bad. Josstice League was, well, kind of bad all around in my opinion, plus the whole mustache controversy. Aquaman cgi battle was pretty over the top. Here in WW, the arrival of Ares just ruins the very message the rest of the film was trying to get across. I still enjoy most of the DCEU including this one. I really enjoyed WW the first time, but on subsequent viewings the slow-mo started to annoy me. As always my favorite part about the DCEU (along with most other films) are the Pitch Meetings from Ryan George. Hope you check them out sometime!

2023-01-15 05:36:19 +0000 UTCThis here is why I'd love for her to react to the original Superman film. Yeah, it's super classic but it's a damn good movie with impressive acting (for the time).
Logan Kerlee
2023-01-15 04:52:34 +0000 UTCReally enjoyed watching this with you Natalie! I'm a huge fan of this movie! Ranks super high on my superhero movies lists. Hold up! You liked Man of Steel more? What the hell? hahahaha.. that was a great movie but I really liked this one more. lol, every person their tastes I guess. I loved Lucy Davis in this. She did a great job for sure. I feel that DC films are more mature than Marvel. Marvel's films are far more exciting and whoa!!.. but I feel that these movies are really entertaining and fun, for me personally. What you're not enjoying is that, I feel. One thing though - you did NOT watch the classic Superman film. You watched the new and updated version which many feel is not as great as the original. While I understand now wanting to do a film reaction for the classic Superman film as your channel is more based on current generation films, I still say that you're missing out! So I think it's a bummer that you didn't enjoy this one but everyone has their tastes. One day I hope that you check out the original Superman film.

2023-01-15 04:29:18 +0000 UTCMy thoughts: In the DCEU, I think Themyscira is supposed to be somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea. Relatively close to Greece, which is where the mythology of the Amazons would have come from. Good guess with the Bermuda Triangle though. I think certain continuities or alt versions have Themyscira being there instead. (Others have Atlantis there.) The ice cream moment is straight from Geoff Johns and Jim Lee's Justice League comics run. Literally the same line about ice cream being "wonderful. You should be very proud." I remember having butterbeer in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Diagon Alley in Universal Studios Orlando back in 2017. And my review of their butterbeer was precisely that: wonderful. You should be very proud. That tiara that she suddenly dons was the same one that Antiope wore, which her mother Hippolyta gave to Diana. Her putting it on just before marching onto No Man's Land I thought had a kind of symbolism there. I'm rather surprised that your final summation was that the movie was just "fine" and that it was full of hammy moments. Because you seemed to be enjoying it throughout, laughing out loud at all the moments that you should laugh out loud at, and feeling emotions at most of the emotional moments. For me, this is easily one of the best DCEU films, and I love when the film just does themes of being good for the sake of good, no matter how cheesy it seems. I daresay there's a shortage of earnestness in film.
Nicholas Sulikowski
2023-01-15 03:27:56 +0000 UTCSay, Natalie... have you seen 1917? Just wondering, now that we've dabbled a little in a comics universe version of World War I. In a completely different direction, I will echo others who suggested Shazam! I think it's a good one for your channel. I'd even say it doesn't need a poll, it really doesn't "compete" with the other DC movies.
Shen V
2023-01-15 02:09:40 +0000 UTCWonder Woman really felt like a breath of fresh air after the two Snyder Superman movies, IMO. It still relies a lot on Snyder-style slo-mo shots, and the ending battle is kind of mediocre as CGI slugfests go, but I loved all the character moments and especially Diana as she struggled to understand how people could be the way they are, and her empathy for everyone around her. If you want even more Lucy Davis, she's also one of Sabrina's aunts in The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. For the future DCEU movies, here's my notes on what I'd recommend: Aquaman, Shazam, Birds of Prey, The Suicide Squad, and then finish it off with the Peacemaker series.
Kevin Mowery
2023-01-15 00:26:08 +0000 UTCPureGonzo, I think you're mistaking "it's a bit better" with "widely regarded as very good". Nothing about the ultimate cut significantly changes the film. They're both bad but one is just slightly less bad.

The Dingo
2023-01-14 20:55:28 +0000 UTCSince James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy) is in charge of the new DCEU, checking out *his* Suicide Squad movie (*The* Suicide Squad) and the follow-up series Peacemaker isn't necessarily exactly what his DCEU will be like, but probably a look at his sensibility applied to the DC characters.
Kevin Mowery
2023-01-14 20:55:11 +0000 UTCIt’s because of people like you making blind assumptions that Nat will be all sorts of confused due to watching these DC films either out of order or missing out on key films within the universe entirely.
PureGonzo
2023-01-14 20:40:43 +0000 UTC1) You are correct in that the theatrical version of BvS was not very well received. However, the *director’s cut* of BvS (which is available for free on HBO Max) is widely regarded as very good. 2) You just admitted that you haven’t even SEEN the Snydercut version of Justice League (also available for free on HBO Max), and yet you’re still trying to tell other people it’s not good? Ffs 🤦🏼♂️
PureGonzo
2023-01-14 20:38:37 +0000 UTCI suspect this will fall on deaf ears, but honestly I think you could not watch any more of the DC movies and we wouldn't have missed out on much, with the possible exception of The Suicide Squad. BvS is widely regarded as a bad film, and I suspect that even the Snyder cut of Justice League is actually not a great film (including the fact it's far too long). I'd much rather see more reactions to known good films, or at least films where we might see some kind of meaningful reaction. The DCEU films are just not great films - at best they're on par with the average MCU films, and most of the time they're much worse. More reactions to things like Drive, The Last Samurai, Interstellar would be much better use of your time in my opinion.

Ryan
2023-01-14 17:58:29 +0000 UTCWell it’s no longer DC but maybe you should consider trying out The Sandman, which is one the finest stories ever produced for the medium. They did a damn good job with the adaptation but its biggest draw back is that they did a damn good job with the adaptation. They actually made The Sandman which I never thought anyone ever allow that to happen, because The Sandman is not meant for masses, people just aren’t used to stories being told like that and sure it’s a comic but that sets peoples minds on it being one type of thing and The Sandman is just not that at all. The story lays out threads that seem to have zero connection to the stories that came before it. So it’s not until you’re nearing the end of the run that you see how all these disparate threads start to be tied together into this intricate and incredibly beautiful bow. So if they ever look like they’re going to finish it then I 100% will recommend it, right now its at 50% recommendation. But if your up for some nonlinear storytelling like nothing you ever seen before and are willing to be left scratching your head as to how any of that is actually connected and heading to a logical conclusion, it’s definitely worth your time.
Ryan
2023-01-14 17:42:07 +0000 UTCI agree with your sentiments. It's just 'fine'.
Thomas Malley
2023-01-14 15:34:17 +0000 UTCunfortunately this is the best offering from the DCEU. However DC has some amazing animated movies and shows. The thing about the animated movies though is they are made for DC fans... adult fans at that... so they don't really spend anytime on origins or explanations... but what they do with the characters and the stories they tell are awesome.

2023-01-14 08:57:27 +0000 UTCOk. I cannot contain my excitement at the chance to talk DC. Green Lantern: His power is the is part of an intergalactic police force. The lantern is his source of power. He wears a ring that allows him to craft any object he can imagine, so long as his willpower can hold. He can fly, breathe in space, he is a very powerful character. But if you get the ring off of his finger, he reverts back to a normal human. Yes, the Ryan Reynolds’ Green Lantern film is not good, but I think people might have hyped up the shitty-ness of it.

Richard Maurer
2023-01-14 08:13:10 +0000 UTCThe really funny thing about Wonder Woman is that they could never film her story as her original creator (Dr. William Moulton Marston) intended when he wrote her stories in 1941. The first WW comics were full of scenes of female characters (including WW) being tied up, spanked and other B&D type stuff, plus some Homoeroticism of a lesbian nature thrown in for good measure. Doubt if they could have done that 20 yrs. ago, let alone today. Yes, Dr. Marston was an interesting fellow. There's even a movie about him, if anyone is really that interested, called 'Professor Marston and the Wonder Women'.

2023-01-14 07:43:36 +0000 UTCThe whole DC approach was movie by committee, 'let's do what Marvel does'. The thing that Marvel did right that they should have copied was Kevin Feige. DC should have found their own Feige, someone who understands comics, from the start.

Richard Maurer
2023-01-14 07:25:49 +0000 UTCTo this day, I cannot say, nor hear someone else say, the words "Wonder Woman", without hearing in my head a sound byte of the 70s Wonder Woman TV show theme song. I used to watch the reruns when I was a kid and I remember Linda Carter was one of my very first TV crushes. That show was gloriously campy. This one I liked, more than less, but Wonder Woman was actually my favorite part of Batman Vs. Superman, and it set the bar pretty high, I don't feel this quite lived up to my expectations. The pacing I think, and I agree about too many of those hammy/cheesy slo-mo moments. I really liked the story, and bringing Greek mythology into this universe in a much less disappointing way than Thor did in Love and Thunder.
Joe D. MacGuffinstuff
2023-01-14 06:11:28 +0000 UTCI've always really liked this movie. When Gal was first cast, I wasn't sure, but she's pretty great as Wonder Woman. One of the things I think most people agree the DCEU got right was the casting of the main trio; Cavil as Superman, Gadot as WonderWoman and Affleck as Batman. But I will agree with one or two others, barring maybe The Suicide Squad, Birds Of Prey and Shazam... I'd say if you want to see DC characters done well, you'd be hard pressed to do much better than the Justice League Animated Series/Justice League Unlimited by Bruce Timm. There's a reason people still keep pretty much asking any directors to just do that in live action for a Justice League movie. With WW84... I mean, I personally like it, but I seem to be one of maybe 3 people who weren't in it who does. Also, I was a little bemused at you thinking Themyscira was in the Bermuda Triangle. They're from Greek myth. It'll be Greece/Mediterranean, not the Americas. Hypolita's the daughter of Zeus... which makes Diana also being such very questionable, but... well, you saw Love and Thunder, not tat surprising all the same. Greek gods make Lannisters and Targaryans look like amateurs. But yeah, she is literally a goddess, hence the always looking perfect etc... Also, the Germans pulling off the masks and everyone being friends as soon as she defeated Ares... That was literally what she expected to happen.

2023-01-14 06:02:44 +0000 UTC@jamie jones - "respectfully, Dc fans and snyder dceu fans are a completely different thing" I was clearly talking about the film universe.🤦 "but both versions of bvs are downright disrespectfully terrible" Sounds like a personal opinion, one that many don't agree with. But hey, you do you.🤷 "Also snyder didnt cowrite the script, he helped come up with the initial story" Snyder is credited as co-writing the script and was quite literally in charge of the direction of the DCEU at the time.🤦 You know who's name isn't in the writing credits? You know, the same person that was almost solely responsible for the disaster that was WW1984, with the help of Geoff Johns of course.😂 "There will be another poll but If she didnt like this movie, theres no chance shell like bvs or a 4 hour justice league." I seem to remember a whole host of people like yourself saying the same about Man of Steel, yet she liked it. I also remember countless people crying that WW was the only good film, yet she's meh on it. Go figure. It's almost as if people have differing opinions or something.🤷

2023-01-14 05:04:47 +0000 UTCI really like the chemistry between Diana and Steve Trevor but the script is pretty rough overall. It's much cornier than I remember. So many of the characters feel very one dimensional and the performances are very hammy. It's too bad because there is some good stuff its just the unfortunate reality of all the DC movies of this era. Some good aspects but marred with a lot of poor choices.
Myles Away
2023-01-14 04:52:42 +0000 UTCI don't like most of the DCEU movies, but I am probably still not delusional enough to deny that there's a substantial number of people who like it; as evidenced by the release of Synder cut Justice League that was made possible by fans. But it's sad what DC has done to their characters in these live action movies. Deconstructing beloved, complex characters with literal answer keys (comic books) plus hiring problematic/lesser talents definitely was a bad play.

2023-01-14 04:09:19 +0000 UTCI really like the 1st 3 quarters of the movie. it's really setting up the reveal that it's not Ares fault, maybe he doesn't even exist... and then they ruin it. I don't even hate the CGI fight, I've seen worse. it just seems like they wanted a twist "ooooh bet you didn't know he was Ares" but it's not even impactful. honestly I like Natalie's idea that Ares had children and that maybe is dr poison and she tells WW she doesn't have the power to influence men. you still get someone that honors Ares' desires but without ruining the message of the movie

Some people like them and thats great, you had your chance at the polls and people voted. There will be another poll but If she didnt like this movie, theres no chance shell like bvs or a 4 hour justice league. To be fair snyders justice league was a big improvement over the garbage we got in theaters, but both versions of bvs are downright disrespectfully terrible. Also snyder didnt cowrite the script, he helped come up with the initial story. Jenkins came aboard and made her changes. Allan Heinberg Wrote the script. Screenwriter Allan Heinberg's work had to be finished and rewritten by Jenkins and Geoff Johns after heinberg had left to work on a TV show. Producer Charles Roven said that the duo had done "a tremendous amount of collaboration". Johns was initially given screenplay credit by the studio but was left out in the official credits by the WGA.

2023-01-14 01:01:28 +0000 UTCI still think it's a disservice to the DCEU fans to take these out of order Nat. If you're going to show respect for the other universes, I'd hope you'd do the same for the DC fans as well. But, we are where we are now.... Personally I enjoyed this one. Not anything amazing, has some 3rd act issues, but one of the better DCEU entries. Calling this a Jenkins movie is kind of ridiculous though. Jenkins showed her ass on WW1984 when she actually had to do the work. This was still under the Snyder tenure, and he even stepped in and directed portions as well as co-wrote the script. The style and tone are all Snyder universe as well. But again, the studio interference started on BvS and it was all downhill from there, so this film suffered a bit as well. Again, I'd suggest watching the Snyder trilogy, ultimate edition and Snyder cut of Justice League. Teamed with this film, it's about as true to the original vision as you're ever going to get for this universe. Past that it's a complete mess of poor executive decisions and a complete loss of direction for the franchise.

2023-01-14 00:33:32 +0000 UTCWhat do i think of this movie? A good flick, not a great one. Easily the best DCEU movie at the time of release. Gal Gadot absolutely has the look and charisma for the part, but not the acting chops. The third act really needed to have gone through a few more drafts. When Diana is not jumping and fighting, she's a bit boring. "The imperative to eradicate any hint of bossiness or anger from her character weighs heavily on the film, threatening to turn it into one long, dispiriting exercise in allaying male fears about powerful women." —Zoe Heller

2023-01-14 00:28:56 +0000 UTCFor DCEU to be 9th highest grossing of all time is a pretty sad embarassment. Given all the built in fans of the IP, should have been top 3. But Snyder was a hack, the studio was impatient...and the rest is history.

2023-01-14 00:23:58 +0000 UTCYour reaction during this movie is less than stellar.
Mr. Reggie
2023-01-13 23:56:40 +0000 UTCShazam is great, Birds of Prey is fun, and The Suicide Squad is fantastic. I enjoyed The Snyder cut, it's not the masterpiece some people claim and there are definitely things I would cut, but overall it does finally add some heart to that Snyder trilogy it was severely lacking. And whether you like it or not, I don't think anyone can say it's worsr than the butchered version they released theatrically. At least Zack made a cohesive story.
Kate Herzig
2023-01-13 23:49:35 +0000 UTCIf you like em great. When you have 15 or so movies, obviously your franchise is gonna be top ten as there arnt many franchises with that many films. None of the dceu films have made crazy money. Your point proves nothing. As a big comicbook guy, i wanted to love the dceu but bvs was just so freaking franchise ruining bad. There was no understanding of the characters. Making batman the punisher shows not just a lack of understanding but a disrespect towards the character. Bvs poster was the only comicbook movie besides fan4stic where my comic shop took down the poster immediately after the film came out.

2023-01-13 23:33:51 +0000 UTCYeah its a damn shame :(
Stellan
2023-01-13 23:15:34 +0000 UTCYeah, the DC film universe has a checkered past to put it lightly, you really have your pick of the litter if you want to do "bad DC movie drinking games". I never saw Wonder Woman 1984...but I hear bad things. You REALLY should do a Suicide Squad drinking game night, but THE Suicide Squad is probably the cream of their crop, I'd watch it again right now.
Keith Jacobsen
2023-01-13 22:57:45 +0000 UTCif you intended at all to watch the Zack Snyder Justice League then watching BVS the ultimate edition is a must. Watching WW first is fine, but don't expect a lot of folks to follow along if you decide to skip too much. Unfortunately, some people only desire to say negative things about DC films and that's too bad because for those of us who still enjoy them, its a very fun journey

Darryl Low
2023-01-13 22:24:27 +0000 UTCHow about some nice lower budget independent film next time. No more Marvel, DC bloat. Your supporters will follow you, I hope.
Jim Lent
2023-01-13 21:58:22 +0000 UTCThe overuse of slow-motion did my head in as well. Difficult to get into the rhythm of a fight scene and feel the excitement when it slows to a crawl every time she swings a fist.
Jeff Clark
2023-01-13 21:29:30 +0000 UTC"Man she's gonna be really bummed there's a whole other world war coming up really soon" That made me laugh so fucking much. Real dark, but real funny.
Jeff Clark
2023-01-13 21:27:41 +0000 UTC@wastedpo - yeah, I totally agree. Ares showing up completely undermined the actually really good character moment of Diana realising that there are just truly bad people.

Saifu
2023-01-13 21:25:33 +0000 UTCI am trying to understand how you missed everything everyone else loves about the movie. Maybe you went in wanting to hate it? Like everyone told you to hate it and you followed that? I mean, sure, its possible to dislike this, but it seems strange as so many people were able to find things to love in in it. And you didn't. Seems like most people hate DC but even they like this one...
Dioskur
2023-01-13 21:18:25 +0000 UTCAbout Green Lantern, Ryan Reynolds himself mock it in Deadpool. When he saidnot to make his suit green or animated when torture by ajax was because it was both green and animated in that movie. The other one was when Deadpool kill Ryan Reynols in the after credit scene while he's reading the script of Green Lantern.
David Bourgeois
2023-01-13 21:12:47 +0000 UTCSurprised you didn't enjoy this movie. Steve Trevor was such a great character and I loved his story arc
Andy
2023-01-13 21:05:03 +0000 UTCI happen to love this movie even though it has its flaws. I think you were being a little harsh.
Jenny Chalek
2023-01-13 21:00:01 +0000 UTCI consider the whole of DCeU a disaster, with Wonder Woman kind of being a singular highlight. Zack Snyder took the reigns from Chris Nolan (who had finished the highly successful Batman trilogy that was beating Marvel at the box office) and kinda misunderstood the very basics of what made those movies work. He ran the whole thing into the ground, and the box office and public acknowledged that. DC kinda went underground, let the world get crazy until the same people who bashed the whole DCeU and Snyder decided to flip colors and enjoy the Snyder-Cut of Justice League for some reason. If you truly want to like DC and its heroes, animation's where it's truly at.
Patrick Armbruster
2023-01-13 20:59:40 +0000 UTCHow many flasbacks within flashbacks can one movie have?
SilentBobFather
2023-01-13 20:58:50 +0000 UTCPretty sure James Gunn didn't save DC. DC didn't really need saving, and 'The Suicide Squad' is not a film that'd do it. Instead, I'd say DC has been very much on top with their Animated Universe ever since Batman The Animated Series. And _other_ non-animated movies like "The Joker" and "The Batman" saved their cinematic presence more so than Gunn's movie.

Navjot Singh
2023-01-13 20:40:13 +0000 UTCI think it's funny that you focus on the trope of her outfit. This is actually hers, and the amazons, more sensible versions of the outfits before the male directors get ahold of them.
Haughtbreaker Nic
2023-01-13 20:25:14 +0000 UTCI agree. At least that one makes more sense of things, but I still couldn't sit through that for another three hours. I'll wait for the YouTube edit.
Philip Davetas
2023-01-13 20:20:22 +0000 UTCDude, she'd be passed out half way through. Then we'd be watching her snore for the rest of the flick.
Philip Davetas
2023-01-13 20:18:25 +0000 UTCI don't know, man. GREEN LANTERN is pretty bad and not even in a fun drinking game sorta way. But I'll watch that if you do it. Plus, GREEN LANTERN is not part of the Snyderverse. WONDER WOMAN is about as good as it gets until James Gunn's THE SUICIDE SQUAD/PEACEMAKER. Not to be confused with David Ayer's SUICIDE SQUAD. Nat, you might want to try PEACEMAKER as a series. It's on Max. Not that many episodes either and you get a movie recap. If you're not into it within the first 3 minutes, then the rest will be torture.
Philip Davetas
2023-01-13 20:17:45 +0000 UTCCompletely agree. DC lacks heart in their films because they're only trying to compete with Marvel, instead of just focusing on doing their own thing.

2023-01-13 19:45:16 +0000 UTCAre you going to contribute money to restoring the Snyderverse on Netflix?
Boomcity
2023-01-13 19:43:40 +0000 UTCAnd even that's not a reason to watch it, it's only a reason to know that it starred Ryan Reynolds and that it was bad...which at this point it's almost universally clear even for those who haven't seen it😂 mostly thanks to Reynolds (and Deadpool)

2023-01-13 19:43:14 +0000 UTCI don't know man. I think Green Lantern is much worse than anything in the DCEU.

Mastervodo
2023-01-13 19:39:59 +0000 UTCI'm amused by this online narrative that only a few people actually like these DCEU movies. I mean, except for the fact that the DCEU is the 9th highest grossing film franchise of all time with 6.19 billion dollars. Yeah, no one enjoys these stinkers.
David Crabtree
2023-01-13 19:39:52 +0000 UTCAnd also - that ring's power is scaled to the person's willpower, and is limited by their imagination. It's weakness is yellow. Yes. The color yellow. Ring no likey yellow.
Mastervodo
2023-01-13 19:39:29 +0000 UTCFrom what I've seen in the comments and your previous polls it doesn't look like Shazam has any chance of winning but you should really add Shazam to the poll anyway, haha. Especially if you're in the mood for something much more lighthearted and goofy. It is part of DCU but It also doesn't matter if you watch it before or after BvS and Justice League, it's a pretty well disconnected origin story. Only if you're planning on watching Black Adam I would say watch Shazam before that one just because their origins have a connection, though that fact isn't really relevant to the plot so no big deal if you don't.
Unsecret Identity
2023-01-13 19:39:02 +0000 UTCThe only reason to watch Green Lantern is so you can get the "Make me a super suit, but just not green" reference in Deadpool
Steve J
2023-01-13 19:30:37 +0000 UTCWill you now be doing polls to pick and choose through all the MCU schlock?
David Crabtree
2023-01-13 19:13:37 +0000 UTCI loved the movie as a whole. I don't think the last third exactly "ruins" the rest of the movie. But I do wish that (what I assume) was meant to be the overall message wasn't so undercut by the ending. I LOVE the idea of making the theme of the movie that it isn't some supernatural influence that is causing mankind to destroy themselves. That's what the movie seems to be trying to telegraph throughout. Throughout, Diana is naively pinning everything on Aries, and it's like the writing is intentionally setting her up to be disappointed. And then, one of the most poignant sequences is towards the end after WW kills who she thinks is the big bad, and nothing had changed; then Steve Trevor does the monologue about how this is just how people are. Unfortunately, by literally have Ares show up to fight, I do think that the movie undercut its own message. (The audience wonders if all the crappy things people do really IS the fault of this one being in this universe.) I wish they had made its philosophy a little more clear. Still, as I said in another thread--this remains my favorite of the recent comic book movies during this last decade-long trend.

2023-01-13 19:00:55 +0000 UTCHappy Feature Friday! I just started watching your YouTube channel last week and enjoyed it so much I pretty much binged thru all your videos already and now became a Patron. You're very fun to watch and I enjoy hearing your take on the content,especially older films that I grew up with. IMO As far as the DCU is concerned, the movies were unfortunately very hit or miss and never got to the same level of consistent quality the MCU got to in their first 4 phases. To their credit though, they seemed to be going for a different tone and style than the MCU so at least they weren't trying to copy everything they were doing. That being said, Wonder Woman is one of the better DCU movies so far. Look forward to a rewatch with your reaction later.😁
Unsecret Identity
2023-01-13 18:59:08 +0000 UTCGreen Lantern is just a waste of time, bad movie or otherwise, as it has no connection to the "DCEU" (such as it is) and goes nowhere. If you want to react to a bad movie, stick with the DCEU.
REDR58
2023-01-13 18:49:23 +0000 UTCFYI: Green Lantern is a DC property, but the Ryan Reynolds movie is not officially part of the shared DC movie universe. Man of Steel was the first DCEU movie in 2013, and GL came out two years earlier. Had GL been successful, it would have actually been the beginning of the DCEU, but the movie's poor showing ended that idea real quick. Personally, I don't find GL to be utterly awful, but that might just make it worse. It's in that terrible no man's land of bad enough to not be good, but just good enough to not be enjoyable as a horribly bad movie. If that makes any sense at all. With any other lead actor, the movie would be laughably bad, but RR's charisma lifts it up enough to be just aggressively mediocre. At least in my opinion. I think most will agree that the best things to come out of GL are the jokes in Deadpool and Ryan Reynolds' and Blake Lively's happy real-life marriage.

2023-01-13 18:38:09 +0000 UTCHi Nat, and thanks for this new funny reaction! You are awesome as always 😄 Wonder Woman is not the best super hero film but it's entertaining hahaha And for your question about Belgium, we have 3 national languages : Dutch (or flemish variant), French (not the same as France but 90% of it is the same hahaha) and German I hope you're fine, take care, be safe and stay golden! 💛
Calo Grsf
2023-01-13 18:33:41 +0000 UTCBvs is terrible top to bottom. The extended cut is just a longer terrible movie with added plot holes. Whedons Justice league was even better than bvs and that was terrible too. Skip em.
jamie jones
2023-01-13 18:30:08 +0000 UTCBatman vs. Superman is a good movie, especially the ultimate edition, which HBO Max has; it fills in a lot of gaps they cut out of the theatrical release. And then do Zack Snyder's Justice League (which might be the best DCEU film alongside Aquaman), not the original theatrical release that Joss Whedon tampered with. And fun fact: "Get it, got it, good" is actually from the 1955 film "The Court Jester" with Danny Kaye (one of my all-time favorite films).
Andy Jordan
2023-01-13 18:15:31 +0000 UTCIf you go BVS next MAKE SURE its the extended cut!

2023-01-13 17:21:42 +0000 UTCI really like the first 2/3 of the movie but the last part just throws all the good stuff out the movie and suddenly feels like a completely different movie which is such a shame

2023-01-13 17:21:09 +0000 UTCI hope this is a catalyst for doing Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition and Zack Snyder's Justice League one day!

2023-01-13 17:17:29 +0000 UTCHappy Feature Friday, Natalie! 😊 I've been looking forward to you watching this one. This is one of my favorite DC movies. I really like Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince, and Chris Pine as Steve Trevor. The sequel however was not as good, in my opinion. Definitely looking forward to watching this reaction later this evening. Have a great day and weekend! 😊 Stay Golden! 💛

Jenny Chalek
2023-01-13 17:11:39 +0000 UTCAlso since you asked, Green Lantern is a space cop. He has a sci-fi ring from outer space that lets him make objects out of “hard light”. Anything he can think of he create.
djKENTO
2023-01-13 17:10:43 +0000 UTCIt’s a pretty good movie. Jenkins knows how to use Gadot here in a way that highlights her sincerity and downplays some of her acting deficiencies. I’ve seen Gal compared to Arnold Schwarzenegger; plenty of charisma but not much performance skill. Wonder Woman 1 has impressive visuals and action. The story works well in its World War context but definitely loses its themes towards the end: does Aries inspire war in humans or just make it literally happen?! Bad CGI action doesn’t help… Ultimately the cracks that appear at the end of this film destroyed the sequel. Seems like Jenkins isn’t the best writer…
George Baxter
2023-01-13 17:09:45 +0000 UTCHappy Friday nat saving this to watch tomorrow as a little birthday gift to myself I'm sure you had fun with this one and I look forward to finding out . Have a lovely weekend and as always stay golden 💛

2023-01-13 17:06:37 +0000 UTCI gotta be real… if we get Green Lantern as a drinking game before we get Batman V Superman… my autistic little brain is going to explode.
djKENTO
2023-01-13 17:06:31 +0000 UTCI would ask you to reconsider Suicide Squad. It's a terrible movie, but its sequel 'The Suicide Squad' had James Gunn at the helm. At the very least, you can see how Gunn came in and saved DC (in some people's eyes). And the change in tone and direction of the two films is so noticeable that I would argue that watching the first movie is part of the experience.
themightyabe
2023-01-13 17:05:39 +0000 UTCOne of the most banging themes in comic book movies. Really love Gal Gadot in this role. I hope Nat does Batman v Superman after this. Makes Diana's role in that better after watching this. Update post watch: If Nat is looking for something fresh and different from DC, then she is going to like James Gunn's The Suicide Squad. Of course, I recommend watching it after watching the fun cringefest that is Suicide Squad.
Boomcity
2023-01-13 17:03:04 +0000 UTCLooking forward to this, I love just seeing and experienceing Natalie view of things 💯👏🏾

2023-01-13 17:02:40 +0000 UTCHappy Feature Friday Nat. Been a few years since I watched this. Looking forward to watching it again with you 😊 This movie has a lot of fun moments and Gal Gadot makes a great hero, but some of the action at the end does drag on a bit I thought. The sequel is overlong, and very messy, and I didn't enjoy it at all. I completely forgot about Lupin being Ares "Even then he had the moustache" 😂 Thanks for a fun reaction today Nat, and thanks as always for all your awesome work this week. Have a brilliant weekend Nat 💛
