I watched Wonder Woman tonight. I really, really wanted to love this film -- it had a solid cast, great set design, etc -- and, up to a certain point, I did. However it really fucking fell apart in every possible way near the end. Good fucking god. That was the shits.

It basically turns to crap right around Steve's sacrifice. When they made it look like Diana couldn't hear Steve's final message, that was great... but then they revealed (or maybe even retconned because you don't see *any* of that) there was this whole conversation. And Ares's dialoguing near the end at that point was hokey as hell. And Diana going full-power looked like shit, especially compared too everything else we saw.

Granted, out of the *three* DCEU films I've seen so far (MoS, BvS, and WW), it's still the best. And it's probably better than a lot of MCU films, although that's very faint praise.

Oh, and I *almost* managed to make it all the way through the movie without reading a spoiler (which I accidentally saw while reading something else). Granted, the thing that was revealed was something I suspected all along... and was to be revealed just a little after that.

I'll probably watch WW84 tomorrow, then maybe Aquaman on Monday. These movies are too fucking long to do more than one in a day. Of course, that means I probably won't get around to JL until Thursday because I'll have AEW Dark & Elevation. Then again, I just realized that Shazam is on Hulu so I might do that instead of WW84 tomorrow. I'll have to see how I feel.

Lokarin posted...

But there hasn't even been a standalone Martian Manhunter movie yet

Was he ever slated to have a standalone? Because that kinda seems like that wouldn't be a thing.
