Wonder Woman 1984 | Review and OT Thread
- Thread starter Schlorgan
- Start date
Hoping it's available at midnight on-demand on the 25th! Couldn't find any specific information on release time for Canada...
Sounds neat, no real way to watch this legally where I am though so it does feel a little..muted..compared to normal superhero movie launches. A real bummer. Glad the non-Snyder DCEU keeps winning either way.
Some sort of Disney conspiracy probably. They don't pay the shills when it's good. Or some such bollocks.

Because it's hard to connect with an upcoming movie that's going to be in theaters (where we can't or shouldn't be going) and on HBO Max (but only in the US)
It's a correct use. Always has been. It's also correct in the Alanis Morissette song. That's what is called situational irony, and yes, it can relate to coincidence. It's literally explained in every dictionary avaible, you can check them out.
The fact that people still try to "gotcha" others on this without knowing themselves how the word is used is... ironic.
Well cinemas are open in Australia. None are closed.
Movie opens here on December 26 with tickets already on sale. There are some special event screenings on December 23 though but I wasnt able to get tickets in time so will be seeing it December 26.
That is good to hear :) Would have loved to have seen it in cinemas but we are locked till at least mid januari and also no HBO Max..
Sounds like another good movie, I'm hyped! As someone who loved Wonder Women, Aquaman, and Shazam, I'm excited we finally have a sequel that delivers!
That definition isn't present in the Cambridge Dictionary. It's not on the Merriam Webster website. It's not on the Collins website either. Just because something is incorrectly used enough to be included as a definition doesn't mean it's correct.It's a correct use. Always has been. It's also correct in the Alanis Morissette song.

Is this supposed to be a surprising factoid? She's Israeli, right?
The writer of this review is a good writer but this review seemed more like an essay on her thoughts of a genre as a whole, thoughts she clearly has had for awhile, and just found WW84 as a useful device in which to air said thoughts. Didn't much care for it nor did I care for the lack of spoiler warnings.
Yes, when she writes " The disappointing sequel highlights not only the dire state of the live-action superhero genre in film, but the dire state of Hollywood filmmaking as a whole." I'd say that she's out of alignment with the vast majority of people interested in this movie to begin with. That doesn't mean she's wrong, but I suspect most people interested in WW84 wouldn't agree with the idea that live-action superhero films are in a dire state.
I just recently discovered than "Ironic" fromAlanis Morisette song generated a huge debate on its era with people asking if the word ironic was correctly used in the song
Yeah. I've tried drive ins near me and they aren't getting this movie so far, it's impossible to see this. Good going WB.
That's not entirely fair.
People hated on Suicide Squad and Birds of Prey too.
Man, it's been almost a full day and the review count still hasn't hit 80. Usually we're at well over 100 reviews 8 hours later.
I don't get the hate for Birds of Prey
I guess folks have bad taste
Even then, you never see such personal attacks on the directors themselves like Snyder gets here. It's embarrassing.
Also if Wonder Woman 84 continues its current path (and so far no reason to think it won't)
Means the DCEU will finally hit a point where more Fresh (Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Shazam, Birds of Prey and WW 84) than Rotten (Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad, Justice League) films.

Really hoping they can arrange some sort of streaming deal in the UK. Cinemas in Wales have been closed for 2 weeks and will not open for at least 3 more weeks. In reality, they'll probably remain closed to the end of January at the earliest.
Loved the first movie and looking forward to this. Too bad WB didn't find it necessary to provide me with a safe and legal way to watch it.
Actually, it does. That's exactly how language works.
The first movie's final act was not bad, it was in many ways what made it great. Sure, in isolation, the fight against Aries was fairly standard, a cgi boxing match, but everything surrounding it and the context made it feel meaningful. As she was fighting Ares she was also fighting her preconceptions of humanity, and coming to terms with what made them go to war, and how a bad guy alone could not be the only reason, and beating Ares would not solve the problem -- meanwhile her beau is up in the plane showing selfless sacrifice as he storms to certain death. It brings all the themes of the movie and Diana as a character together in one moment.
She made some shady comments years ago, sympathetic of soldiers in the IDF, that were not good but fairly expected from someone who served in the IDF. She's since, among other things, backed Natalie Portman when she was attacked for boycotting Israel, which is about as progressive you can hope from an Israeli actor.

Sounds good. I'd never go to the theater to see it, but if they're going to include it with my HBO sub, I'll definitely watch it at some point. That point being when HBO finally goes 4K.
Even if it comes to streaming, it will be on Sky and be ridiculously expensive or you would have to watch it 720p on Now. I don't know why the Drive-Ins around me aren't getting this movie, they are the only ones still open.
WW was pretty drab. The lighter moments were conflicting and being muted constantly with the overall atmosphere and setting, and it was like the entire film built itself towards resting on the somewhat silly final battle with Ares. There were some sharp moments here and there, but I don't think it amounts to all the praise the film got.
Still one of the stronger DCU films, but thats not much when they have been struggling so much in recent years

This is a really well written review. I'm adding her to my list of top reviewers. And oh man, this movie sounds terrible. I don't think I'll watch it.
Usually that's a bad sign.
Wait until the snyder cut review thread. going to be fun either way.
Oh yes, judging someone's taste based on what superhero film they like or dislike. Culture really is dying.
Personally I judge people on whether they liked The Wire or not. Been a pretty accurate barometer for taste so far for me.
