All Things Wonder Woman: An Open Discussion - - - Part 12

[mclay18]

Fantastic trailer. As long as it gets good reviews and buzz, this will do MCU-sized business next June.

I was disappointed not to see it with my showing of Doctor Strange.

 

[Jaxon]

Now she isn't 'acting well'? Seems all I read here are complaints.

WW is meant to seem other worldly, so I feel as though she's on point with how a curious sort of naive person would behave

 

[haephestus]

I LOVED the second trailer.

Nice action. Hints at the major villains. COLOUR! Battles in DAYLIGHT! The LASSO! BRIGHT colours! Bullet deflecting BRACELETS! The power of FLIGHT or something close to it? And even a little humour with Etta Candy at the end.

I really hope that the photo has some relevance to a storyline in the modern day. It would help to explain why Diana was so keen to retrieve a digital copy in DoJ. Although, once again, I'm disappointed that Batman had to help Diana obtain both the digital copy and the original version - dammit Diana can do some stuff for herself without the Bat.

It doesn't have to be "big". The photo could just provide a hint to the location of some powerful relic that Diana needs to track down and destroy because it could be the key to reviving the WW1 villain or something. It would just be nice if Diana was motivation by something other than a 100 year old crush in DoJ. But, it's pretty minor and the chances of the photo having any kind of plot relevance other than justifying the "flashback" which will be 99% of the movie are slim.

I imagine it'll be the biggest or second biggest opening of June 2017, I think $100m+OW is likely, Warner Bros' marketing team hopefully will deliver a knock out campaign like they did with BvS and SS.

She wanted to know what Lex had, not retrieve a copy.

Also Diana is not a technology nerd. Batman has the resources.

 

[rogue trooper]

A very promising trailer! Gives off such an epic vibe. Seems like it'll have the action of Captain America:TFA and the spirit of Donner's Superman. Very eager to see who Danny Huston's and Elena Anaya's characters will be. Can't wait!

[Guard82]

I'm very impressed with the new trailer. It looks very grand and mythical, and it feels exactly the way a Wonder Woman story should feel, with lots of heart and lots of epic adventure.

Effects on the face looking better in the first one and I like the adjustments to the background in the second one

Flove the trailer! Yeah Gal sounds a bit wooden at parts but I love her anyway.

Only thing I would change is half the slow-mo shots, the first bullet/bracelet part was really bad/cheesy because of the slow-mo.

But hey! my wish was answered! I didn't see the stunt doubles face.

That's what sells it even if it's cheesy

 

[Bagide]

Well, I have mixed feelings on that trailer:

Good:

- Looks action-filled, which I always appreciate in a CBM
- Love the music that comes on when they showed the WW shield. Perfect WW theme.
- I liked the little bits shown with Pine. I know some don't like him, but I usually find him entertaining at the very least.
- Love that it's set in the past. Something fairly unique with these DC movies.

Bad:
- Some of the CG looked heavy/obviously fake
- Gadot. Still not sold on her and I'm losing hope that I ever will be. Always the same facial expression and tone of voice. She's not an obnoxiously bad actor, just boring.

Not always look at how she looks as Steve when they're dancing. I want a woman to look at me that way. Passion, innocence, affection

 

[Bagide]

She's going to fly abit?

 

[teardrop]

seriously I think Jenkins "composed" the trailer herself, not by third party production house.

this trailer is a short film, with narrative themes, so accurately and succinctly done with key imagery.

paradise of Amazons V men's world for one.
"she's my secretary" and then we see Diana puts on her glasses-- the more fitting secretary look, in the Alley homage scene.

finally, the modern technology that's the bullet, killed Amazons --> Diana discovered that she could deflect bullets in the alley --> Wonder Woman matter of factly deflected one in the no man's land.

of course it's also a trailer...since we don't know why she didn't continue the superhero business, we need to see the movie to know.

this is a director's vision.

 

[Greens]

Or the people who edited the trailer are just really good.

I wouldn't be surprised if Patty had a huge hand in editing the trailer because she has talked a lot about the editing process:

"I was into photography and music probably more than anything. I still think probably music is my real love. I think that it's listening to music that made me want to be a filmmaker. When I was in film school, the second I sat down at a Steenbeck with film that I had just shot and put in music to it, that was it. Instantaneously, I couldn't get enough of it, and it had nothing to do with career or want or desire. I liked to sit there and do that twenty-four hours a day. I was like, 'I can't stop doing this. This is it.'"

Zack's stamp is all over this.

 

[chamber-music]

At least we are getting a little comic relief from Ewen Bremner and Lucy Davis characters. That should please folks that found the other DCEU movies a little too somber.

I just hope they don't go too far with it though – the "Marvel way" is really starting to grate on me now... ever since Ant-Man I find it 'cringeworthy'!

 

[#root]

I'm really loving the slow-mo shots in the trailer. They really showcase Diana's speed . And the music is so good too. I really, really hope the movie delivers.

 

[Adhesive Boy]

It's depressing that Gadot sounds so bad when she delivers her lines even in the trailer where they can pick and choose scenes to showcase the best, but other than that this trailer looked very good. Definitely the best trailer in the DCEU this far when accounting for using a tone that actually fits the character.

The visuals are nice and the supporting cast looks good. I still have to be cautious, since a bad actress in the lead is a big flaw, but everything else looks promising, and Jenkins is a good director, so they might very well pull off a great movie here.

 

[teardrop]

not sure if anyone has mentioned this...

Trevor seems to be tied with the lasso
Amazons need to be sure about the truth.

 

[scarlet-witch]

This trailer looks great and that's coming from someone who's never cared for Wonder Woman. Seems DC is doing something right here for both her fans and the once skeptics.

Really don't get this - mentioned time and again, but there are worse actors and actresses in other movies of this genre that don't seem to get half the flak Gal does... I saw absolutely nothing wrong with her part in BvS, and nothing whatsoever in the trailer so far to say she's a bad actress... she seems absolutely fine to me!
