Wonder Woman can wear anything she wants. They should just be glad she didn't bring her sword.

The embargo on WW reviews is slated to end in 25 minutes... May 29, 9pm Pacific Daylight Time. Then all the reviewers who saw the movie last week can finally publish.

As usual, there will be non-spoiler reviews and spoiler reviews and every stage in between.

Should be a lot of stories about the reactions to those reviews on Tuesday morning news.

WW = WOW!

I can honestly say that I've never read one review of a comic book movie (except for maybe a few of Batman v Superman just to see how incredibly stupid and off base they were). I mean, I'm going to go and see it anyway and form my own opinion so why waste time worrying about what someone else thinks?

It will be the same with Wonder Woman. I've heard that it is getting good reviews from the critics but I couldn't care less. I'll go sometime this weekend and decide for myself.

Some of us care because reviews shape public opinion and most people go to see movies with very good reviews. That leads to more movies with the same perceived formula for success. Which is a good thing for many of us who are fans of the genre. Which is why I care.

Petsonally, I often disagree with reviews, but that's because I'm a crusty old fart who has his own ideas about what is good. That doesn't make the reviews less important for the reasons above.

I think a better barometer is the fact that the Thursday night shows in my area are already nearly sold out.

Good thing I bought tix this morning!

I think Rotten Tomatoes is hardly a good barometer and often beats superhero movies (Suicide Squad, BvsS, etc.) unnecessarily into oblivion, but even WW is killing it on their site with 96%!

I agree with you, also because what a reviewer looks for in a movie is often different from what I looks for. Just for the sake of example, "Big Trouble in Little China" was pretty much destroyed by the critics when it came out, but I love each every minute of it.

If someone doesn't love Big Trouble in Little China there is something wrong with them.

I understand this point. However, I would argue that critics, especially the RT score, are becoming less and less relevant to a film's box office take with each passing year, especially in the genre of CBMs. Do studios like pleasing critics and getting the high RT scores? Yes, of course so they can advertise it. But they like high box office numbers even more and they know to do that they have to please the fans of the genre.

My in-laws did not go see Batman v Superman in theaters because of the scathing reviews. However, when I showed them the movie after it came out on DVD they couldn't understand the hate the movie got. My father-in-law loves it now, especially the Ultimate Edition. Now here is a man in his 60s who always checked out movie reviews before heading off to the theater. Now he doesn't trust them, at least for CBMs he doesn't.

Petsonally, I often disagree with reviews, but that's because I'm a crusty old fart who has his own ideas about what is good.

Ha ha! Same here.

I though this was funny.

No way - I knew Gal Gadot served her time as an Israeli Citizen/Soldier but I didn't expect to see this

ETA 'Wonder Woman is expected to gross $175m on her opening weekend' Looking forward to chipping in!

A good, well-written piece.

Hi all. I was thinking we should have a similar set-up for Wonder Woman that Melissa and Supergirl enjoys with her own space/forum. At the moment Wonder Woman Gal Gadot has only a few threads in what is potentially the biggest superheroine movie of all. Just an idea I want to throw in!

I think this would be a bit too much. I can understand the sub-forum for Supergirl as it can have a thread for each episode, but Wonder Woman is just one movie in a forum dedicated to ubergirl movies. I don't see too many topics for one movie here and I doubt WW will provide that many topics to justify a separate forum.

By now, it's not even necessary for Supergirl to have her own ticker, as the giant flood of different threads only appeared at the beginning of the series. By now things are rather tame.

I'll just leave this here as it made me smile:

I'm partial to this one.
