I had 3 girls that wanted to watch it so I put it on.
I walked in on a scene where there was a bunch of soldiers shooting while they were driving down a highway in the desert. A couple of kids were playing in the highway and WW had to rescue them. Was this supposed to be a joke? Was it poking fun at super heroes saving kids or is the viewer supposed to feel worried about the fate of these children? It didn't strike me as funny but I know kids don't play on highways especially when big trucks shooting bullets are headed their direction so it can't be there for drama can it? I think the girls liked it though. |

Yeah, gonna call a waist of my time. It was ok but not what I expected. Was hoping for something "close" to original WW. 3 out of 5 stars.

I'm not in the habit of trying to enjoy bad movies too much. They have to be uniquely bad in an interesting way. So there's a little curiosity from 1) how and why it's exactly SO hated, and 2) how they effed up such breezy source material. I imagine it has to do with corner-cutting and lack of tech to realize the whizbang things happening on the page, kind of like how Marvel movies sucked until CGI and masterplanning the narratives across the platform came along. But like I said, not interested enough to find out. |

I think If this movie had come out back in the summer in normal times (no covid) it would have opened big, then fallen off huge after that.
Dane, why did WB announce a 3rd one with Jenkins so quickly? |

I think it was a "hype" announcement more than set in stone factual but I don't have the details of her contract with WB. Maybe she has a Pay or Play clause or maybe there was a studio option for a 3rd. I find it curious that she hasn't made a statement of any kind but she did say this last week: Directors like Patty Jenkins, potentially. While she recalls being “shocked” when the studio approached her to debut Wonder Woman 1984 on HBO Max, a conversation that launched “a very, very long process, and I don’t know that they would have let us disagree based on what they’ve been doing now,” Jenkins can tell you one thing about the future of the DC franchise: she probably won’t come back for a hypothetical Wonder Woman 3 without the likelihood of a theatrical run. “We’ll see what happens. I really don’t know,” she says of the threequel. “I know that I’d love to do the third one if the circumstances were right and there was still a theatrical model possible. I don’t know that I would if there wasn’t.” There's no guarantee that WW3 will be theatrical at this point in time, although most expect the theaters to return to normal business by 1Q2022. But she's signed on for Star Wars as well and those films take at least a year to produce (not including the script), so again, this announcement feels like more of a marketing strategy to get more people to sign up for HBO Max than a real film whose plot is set and ready to go. WarnerMedia announced this week that the "Snyder-verse" is over and that they're not interested in an overall connected DC Universe. WB also announced six new DC feature films per year but it sounds to me as if they're just going to crank out DC movies and see what sticks, with absolutely no plan in place. Again. |

Is it really that hard for a media conglomerate to have a coherent plan? Then again, it is stupendous how much better the Snyder cut of BvS is than the horrifically bad Theatrical cut. |

I thought they were combined into one? So you have a choice of just having HBO by itself without the Max part? I don’t know because I get HBOMAX thrown into my unlimited wireless package. They also give me the regular HBO channels on direct tv. |
