After the mess that was “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” DC fans are hoping that the studio would pick up and wow them with the next offering, “Wonder Woman.”
Warner Bros. didn’t do so well in building up the DC Expanded Universe last year. The Man of Steel sequel Batman vs. Superman ended up with divisive ratings amongst fans and critics, while the superhero spinoff film, Suicide Squad took in negative reviews.
Still, despite all these fans are still hopeful that the DCEU will do better this year with Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman standalone and Zack Snyder’s Batman vs. Superman follow-up, Justice League.
Now, reports from the early screening of Wonder Woman bring these hopes up even further with a lot of positive buzz. According to the lucky few who were able to see the film month’s before its official release, they were “blown away” by the movie, saying that “it is the best movie of the DCEU.”
However, while so many positive reviews have come out, other fans still aren’t pleased with the film. There are others who aren’t so pleased with Gadot’s performance in the film and others who think that the film was no good.
While most of the reactions for Wonder Woman early screenings are all so good, these mixed reviews can be a worrisome sign for DC fans. Will Wonder Woman end up as divisive as Batman vs. Superman? Let’s hope not.
Despite this negative review, film producer Deborah Snyder assured fans that the superhero’s solo movie, which stars Gal Gadot as the titular character, will be quite different from the recent DC Comics cinematic efforts. “‘Wonder Woman’ is very different in tone and style than ‘Batman v Superman’ and ‘Suicide Squad,’” she told Variety. “We pick directors who have their own points of view, so that each of our films will have their own personality.”
The film’s leading man Chris Pine even said that the film, which is directed by Patty Jenkins, will have a little bit of everything – action, drama and romance – so it will definitely cater to a wide range of audiences.
“I think what’s really fun and exciting about it… different about it, actually, is that there’s a nice love story at the center of an action film, and I don’t think you see that often in these kinds of films,” he told The Huffington Post.
What does everyone think? Will the film be any good or just end up on the DC scrapheap?
Wonder Woman debuts on the big screen on June 2 this year.
