My girlfriend made me watch it.

The good: Parts felt like Threat Level Midnight, just the dumbest ideas for scenes. The opening scene lowered my expectations so hard that the rest of the movie seemed great by comparison. It was fun to see a big budget movie do the wishes come true cartoon episode plot. They had two villains so Gal Gadot had to do less scenes. There's a part so astoundingly racist it felt like a Cumtown Bit.

The bad: Gal Gadot is a horrible person but somehow an even worse actress. The opening scene looks like a fucking Sonic opening level and has no purpose. Wonder Woman's boyfriend possesses someone, its the only wish with a condition like it. The ending is like an hour long and horribly boring. There'a a part so astoundingly racist it felt like a Cumtown bit.

Overall I wouldn't ever rewatch it or recommend it but there are worse super hero movies.

    It was incredible in how terrible it was. Just like watching a multi-million dollar trainwreck. There was so much wrong with it you'd have to write a doctoral thesis to go into all of it.

    That said, making fun of it with my wife was a great way to kill 2 1/2 hours.

    Side note: the 84 stands for how many minutes should have been cut from the runtime.

    My girlfriend made me drink it.

    The good: She called me a filthy whore and fucked me afterwards.

    The bad: I have greasy diarrhea.

      The part where the middle eastern oil tycoon says he wishes that all the savage heathens would leave his land and they get away with it because they say Kairo instead of Palestine.

            It does, and the Irishman wishes back that the lady would drop dead which she does, you see the cops immediately accosting somebody outside when the lady wishes that all the Irish would be kicked out

    I watched the rocket lasso scene and I was astonished how poorly they put it together. They have the stunt double hit the pavement with two rubber kids in her arms and they bounce around lifelessly and it looks so fucking fake. Why not just shoot it from above with a giant dust cloud and have the dust cloud clear to reveal a safe kids and wonder woman? Why did they feel the need to show us the action if said action was going to look fake and terrible? Goddamn I hate it all.

    Even without the problematic Steve Trevor stuff it’s just needlessly long and dumb af. I don’t get why every superhero movie has to be the length of an old Hollywood epic now.

    The opening scene did have a point I must point out - it sets up the theme of the movie as you shouldn't take shortcuts (such as taking a slide, or wishing) to get what you want, only hard work pays off. Real protestant work ethic hours

    Yeah, the whole "you have to work for things, having them handed to you is evil" theme was super cringe.

    Pedro Pascal did his best to carry the movie, only interesting part IMO.

      That fight honestly was so tonally weird. I honestly thought she pulled a Man of Steel and killed cheetah with the electrical shit for a moment.

    lol yeah it was rly bad. Warner fucked up by letting patty Jenkins write the script this time. She only directed the first movie. I'm happy tho, I really want gal gadots career to sink. It got 60% on RT, like how? Almost makes me think mossad is going around threatening critics not to trash this movie lmao
