Until proven otherwise.....DC movies are a DVD rental for me. I haven't seen a DC movie in the theaters since TDKR.

I only see a couple movies a year at the theater. With a projector at home and a reasonably decent sound system, it's not worth the hassle and uncomfortable seats. I saw more when we lived in Texas. Much nicer theaters and recliner seats. Wichita theaters suck, except for one that is for 21+ only, so I can't take the kids.

I still might see this one at the theater.

Same for me. I've seen a couple in the theaters, but each was a movie I would have been fine waiting for on DVD. Suicide Squad was the last DC movie I see in theaters until they put something out worth paying for.

WW may be it, but I'm going to wait awhile before considering it. Looks decent, but DC has tricked me with previews before.

The Warren on the west side is a nice theater. Always liked that one. The Warren on the east side of town makes a good adult date - buy tickets to the balcony (21+ only), show up a little early, drink at the bar, then relax and watch your movie.

I'll still probably go see it - especially since it's reviewing so well. I also like the period piece angle, and Chris Pine playing Captain Kirk in World War I should be entertaining. I also hope that since it's set 100 years in the past this one will focus more on human elements and not devolve into yet another silly overblown CGI shitfest, because frankly I'm getting really tired of that.

And Gal's obviously beautiful and talented - she's just not what I picture as Wonder Woman. Again, THIS is what I picture as Wonder Woman:

Oh well.

But, I also remember thinking that Michael Keaton would make a shitty Batman, and that worked out just fine.

Early reviews for one of the earlier two were misleading, as the numbers came down soon after, and the feminist approval bump angle (see Ghostbusters) is also problematic.

I do hope you enjoy the movie, though.

Last DC movie I saw in the theater was Superman 2.

Rep for Millpool!

+1 on Linda Carter.

What makes anyone think this will be DC's first good movie? I don't even have high hopes for it, it looks like Captain America meets Superman.

DVD release at bare minimum.

Until the very last trailer I was actually pretty impressed. Her movements in a couple of the action sequences look like really bad CGI slomo. But it is getting good reviews. Still won't be an opening weekend jaunt for me, but a matinee 3 weeks out should be fine.

Hmmm, I would MUCH rather see Gal Gadot than a butch woman like that.

She's supposed to be an AMAZON. When I think of what an Amazon would like like, words like slight, thin and bony don't come to mind.

And if this is your idea of "butch," I'll take it all day long.

Gina Carano. So hot....and so could destroy me if she wanted to.

BWillie 06-01-2017 03:39 PM

Love skinny women, so Gal Gadot looks awesome to me. I don't care about comics and how they adapt though.

Sure-Oz 06-01-2017 03:55 PM

160 reviews 93%, I'm surprised
