Geoff Johns worked as Donner's assistant for some time when he was young.

I always wonder if Ridley Scott can direct movies at his age, then why Donner can't ?

Also wrote a comicbook together iirc.

Different people age differently. My neighbour is in his 80s and he is fit af. My grandpa is in his 70s and bed ridden. Thats just life man.

BTW great article on the character of Wonder Woman :

The early reactions to Wonder Woman have arrived, and all seem to agree that Diana’s origin story is the DCEU’s first undisputed “success.” The common theme in the enthusiastic responses and micro-sized reviews isn’t easy to decipher: director Patty Jenkins delivered a film unlike the previous DC films. But where those critical of the DCEU for its ‘grim’ style are now praising Wonder Woman‘s change of tone as a move in the right direction, and a sign of what DC movies ‘should’ be, there’s one key fact being overlooked: Wonder Woman matters because she is supposed to be different. Both as a character, and an overall idea in the DCEU.

The same words are now being tossed around widely on social media, calling Wonder Woman exactly what the trailers promised: a hopeful, inspiring, and heroic story, in the truest sense of the words. And yes, that is undoubtedly closer to the desired takes on Superman, specifically, that many of DC’s critics have vocalized. What fans, critics, and audiences should realize is that there’s a case to be made that such a treatment is a faithful adaptation of Wonder Woman… specifically, all the things that make her something special among DC’s heroes.

And in the end, viewing Wonder Woman’s very first movie through the same lens applied to the world’s two best-known, well-traveled superheroes is comparing apples to oranges. Worst of all, it undercuts the reason Wonder Woman’s presence – in the Justice League, and the DCEU – is so important.

But those looking to have full, rewarding conversations – be they critical, casual, or just for fun – about the DCEU’s tone, its worldview, or its definition of ‘heroes’ need to ask why Wonder Woman leaves them with a better feeling than these new, controversial takes on Batman and Superman. Sure, it may be a case of Patty Jenkins showing what DC’s heroes should be… what Superman should be… what Batman should be, and so on. But it’s just as likely that Jenkins knew exactly who Wonder Woman should be. In no uncertain terms, she’s the kind of hero that Superman and Batman aren’t.

That doesn’t mean she can’t make them better. Make the Justice League better. Or show why a difference in character, both in front of the camera, as well as behind it can make the DCEU the kind of diverse universe that comic book publishers figured out years ago.

Those are just excerpts. Read the whole article. Its great.

Speaking of sequels Wonder Woman in BvS says I've killed creatures from other worlds before. I've always been curious what creatures is she talking about and when. She walked away from man's world but not from fighting apparently.

Patty can work on a load of prequels to show us.

I don't think they've made that up yet. If anything, it was just a badass line for her to say there. I wouldn't think much of it unless its spoken of again.

[Dark Raven]

This is encouraging to hear. But is he then suggesting that he thinks all the other summer blockbusters have fallen flat?

I hope this is the movie of the summer.

 

[moviefreak]

Glad to hear that the film got rave review, I always knew that it'll be fresh in RT review and well liked by audience, from the beginning when WB/DC hired Jenkins. So, I'll be seeing it next week, day to be fix later.

 

[Dark Raven]

Is Wonder Woman something that is best appreciated in 3D? My local cinema seems to have stopped showing anything in 3D and everything is in 2D now. That wasn't always the way, but certainly as far as anything showing in the next coming week.

insecure dudes flipped their s**t so Alamo is adding even more women only screenings

BRILLIANT

Love it, all day all night

 

[terry78]

I don't think anything is warranted watching in 3D unless it's specifically made for it. Like Avatar was.

If you plan on seeing the movie more than once, you can (of course) experiment with different formats. For me, it’s usually just once (because of the $$$). And I tend to default to the “native” format. I.e., I saw Interstellar in 15/70 IMAX because it was shot in 15/70 IMAX. WW was shot in 2D; so seeing it in 2D isn’t really a compromise (IMO).

 

[moviefreak]

Majority of 3D films being shown were made with normal camera and post-converted. You'll only get to appreciate it more if it was filmed using an actual IMAX 3D camera and projected in an actual (70mm) IMAX theatre --which in that case very rare for a feature film. It's mostly documentaries with run time of up to 1 hour that could get the most out of this technology.

But go ahead if you want to splash out a few more on 3D. heh
