I've never liked Watchmen in general. To be fair, Snyder's movie is the only way I've experienced the whole story. I literally can't get through Moore's comic, its just too frustrating and just too poor a story in my opinion. At least with Snyder's movie we get a frankly spectacular opening credit sequence (I'll rewatch that by itself sometimes) and his style works just well enough that Watchmen the movie is watchable to me in a way that the comic isn't readable (it helps that he drops the stupid prose segments and some of the pointless fluff, but even the main story is more tolerable to me in Snyder's version). Snyder has had a problem with using the Watchmen style of "hero" for all his superhero stuff, but I don't really have a desire to argue about Watchmen or Snyder, especially in the WW thread.
Well, I think the point is that I hope that Snyder's Watchmen inspired vision of DC comics movies is behind him and WW embraces the more "super-hero" aspects of that universe.
Man, after seeing Gal Gadot on Jimmy Fallon I think I'm in love. *sigh* and, um, something something about Wonder Woman lol
The talk about Snyder is pretty relevant, as it seemed he was the leader of this new DC Film Universe. The other 3 movies (and upcoming movie) were strongly connected to him (SS being penned by the writer of MoS), and the next movie also by him. Wonder Woman was sandwiched between two movies he directed, and at least the seed of the premise was "forced" by his movie. So some of us are wondering how much of an influence he will have on the WOnder WOman movie... We are hoping (and looks like it might be so) that WW will get people excited (in a good way) about future films in the DC F U
Embargo lifted. Early reactions look promising http://www.blastr.com/2017-5-19/har...s&utm_term=genre_interest&utm_content=link_ad [SIZE=6]Hard to find anything negative in glowing Wonder Woman first reactions[/SIZE]
That link just shows similar first impressions we've known for awhile, the review embargo hasn't been lifted yet. Everything I can find says that full reviews will be out probably Monday of next week, one professional critic saying that Monday, 9pm PDT is when full reviews can come out.
I don't see that as a problem. In today's more conservative attitude toward pop culture, I guess many do.
Originally it was Wednesday, but the full review embargo has been pushed up to Monday, which is always an encouraging sign. There are fan screenings going on tonight, and fans can be mouthy people so if you intend to avoid spoiler, now's the time to be extra careful on the interwebs.
I've got my fingers crossed for this one. Has there been any mention of how "kid friendly" the movie is?
For what it's worth, the official rating is "PG-13 for sequences of violence and action, and some suggestive content." So at least there's not a lot of cursing.
One of the trailers debuted at the Kids' Choice Awards, so the studio at least thinks it's kid friendly since they decided to market it there...
That seems to be the standard "we want this film to have international appeal" method: don't curse too much, don't show more than the most basic "sexual" interaction between characters (some kissing, a little innuendo, sexy costumes) and plenty of violence - but no blood!
Thank you Christopher and dodge--the Suicide Squad was definitely not something I wanted my kids to see so I'm hoping fro something a little different here.
A website I often use is www.kidsinmind.com It breaks down all the various "naughty" bits and gives them an aggregated intensity rating by number.
I am not sure if any of the info, other than from Jedi_Master . Last YEar we took the kids to see X-Men apocalypse, which had an unexpected throat slashing scene... that was NOT good... as opposed to the Avengers, which I deem "kid friendly" (at least parents alongside). I am hoping WW will be the latter and not the former.
