Guest Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I was late for the party with the first one and found it didn't live up to the hype. Setting low expectations for this one and hopefully it will exceed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerimar Nyliram Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Yeah, I thought the first one was lame as hell, but I only saw it because I am in love with Gal Gadot. I will probably see the second one because Gal Gadot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainbleh Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I liked parts of the first one, but usual third act problems etc. My biggest anxiety about this one is them recreating a caricature of the 80s instead of something accurate.

Darth Krawlie Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I liked the first, certainly better than most of the DCEU offerings, and really liked the trailer for this one, if for no other reason than the great rendition of Blue Monday that played throughout.

Ms. Spam Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 Exactly, Krawlie. EXACTLY. More Blue Monday. It was great to not have a WHAM or Duran Duran song and instead we get Blue Monday. Wonder Woman was the best of the new version of the DCU that was offered. I just rewatched the Justice League and Batman vs Superman. Not so good.

Guest Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I would say Shazam is the best, followed by WW and Aquaman. The others are Transformers movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Spam Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 Shazam is somewhere to be watched. I just have to find time. I usually put on movies while I do housework and stop and gawk in the middle of say dusting or vacuuming/sweeping and then wonder why it took me three hours to clean by 571 square foot condo.

zambingo Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 So thoughts... is this really Steve or is this a fake out for Diana to deal with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I’m hoping he’s real. I think that would actually be a better swerve than it not being real, because I think everyone will suspect it. At least everyone who talks about such things on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Remember when nostalgia in pop culture was always looking at 25 years(ish) back? Since we hit the 80s nostalgia wave in the early 2000s it just stuck. Next month the 80s are 40 years go. That breaks my brain. But I also think nostalgia is ever-present now. Oh, also, I will see this movie. I still haven't even seen Justice League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Don't bother, it is very bad. And yeah, as much as I like a lot of things 80s, I'm getting kinda tired of it. Not as tired as 50s and 60s though. I can go my whole life without watching anything set in those decades and be very okay with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justus Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I liked parts of the first one, but usual third act problems etc. My biggest anxiety about this one is them recreating a caricature of the 80s instead of something accurate.Similar to some complaints about Stranger Things. Any film set in the past can work if the filmmakers understand that a trip down memory lane (e.g. too many pop culture references and/or hyping the "importance" of things that real people in the 80s could take or leave) may not be appealing to everyone. Personally, i'm not too concerned about this sequel battering the audience with stuff such as Rubix's Cubes, Michael Jackson, the San Fernando Valley culture, A-ha and Reagan.

3 & 6 years to go... Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Wow. I LOVED the first movie. Gal Gadot (Yes, is gorgeous) was fantastic. Inspirational, in my opinion. I am very interested in seeing how Steve is not only alive, but looking the same at 85-90 years old. Did he pull a Captain America and freeze somehow?

zambingo Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Maybe the reason 80s nostalgia refuses to give way to another decade is because the generation(s) of that decade refuse to let go or move forward themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I need more 90s. More wallet chains, blue hair, and nirvana shirts. pen15 cam’t do it alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 80s nostalgia is also big because of Stranger Things, and WW absolutely couldn't go 90s or it'd be accused of ripping off Captain Marvel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Personally, I wish they went with the 1970s for WW. As, you know, homage to the TV series. It would be nice to have a Linda Carter cameo in there, too. But that is probably exactly why they didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I realized this movie was supposed to originally be about to come out when yesterday at the store I saw a WW branded bag of Doritos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Spam Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 Yeah, sad face. I have a feeling though if they released it on Memorial Day weekend it would have been full of mask wearing nerds sitting in crowded theaters with only the germaphobes staying home. It was insanity in public places this weekend as people were EVERYWHERE-at graduations, parks, beaches, lakes, parks, restaurants. I really am starting to miss movies.

Metropolis Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 So it's going to be released on HBO Maxx on Christmas day the same time as it's released in theaters. Guess I gotta get up early before breakfast and gifts being opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.CAllen Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 AT&T appears to have given up on using its stable of universally recognized intellectual properties to make for real money one dollar at a time. What are they doing instead? Desperately trying to survive & thrive in the imminent post-apocalyptic media future wherein consumers are maybe subscribed to one or two feedbags/firehoses of 'content' and that's about it. That's what this is, that's what shovelling tens of millions of dollars into Zack Snyder's open mouth is, that's what the stuff going down at Detective Comics Comics seems to be for. Just a complete abdication of any kind of standard 'buy a bag of flour for a dollar and sell it for a mark-up' Richard Scarry understanding of business in favour of something that seems more like a scam than anything else. Maybe it is a scam? Maybe it's even securities fraud, maybe it's a lie to investors, I suppose when you're $168.96 billion dollars in debt you have no choice but to look other people in the eye and say something like, "Very very soon most homes in western educated industrialized rich democratic societies will probably be paying for one or two of the following. They'll be paying for Netflix, they'll be paying for Amazon Prime, they'll be paying for us. We are going to be one among a very select few competitors in this marketplace. At this juncture doing anything that doesn't permanently latch ourselves onto a consumer is a waste of our time and money. We do not want anyone to buy our products. We want them to be permanently contracted to us forever in perpetuity." Is it true? Is it false? Will it work? I have no clue. I just wish they'd go all the way with it and insist that the movie will not be playing in movie theatres in countries still in the full throes of the pandemic. I get it, all the data we have so far suggests that movie theatres aren't high-risk. I understand! It's still a low-to-moderate risk! Enough of those stacked up on top of each other equals death! Save a life or two, why not!!!!???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
