Wonder Woman (2017)

Wow, DC is literally holding it's breath.

After the critically panned (and have to add, actually money making) Batman Vs Superman (2016) and Suicide Squad (2016) DC need a strong showing for their DC material before their A-Lister movie, Justice League.

Having said that, this movie is vital. If this gets a poor review, it may have disastrous consequence for Justice League (later this year).

So, how is this movie?

I am only familiar with George Perez's comic stint of Wonder Woman.

And it actually started me on my comic collection.

And it is this origins that I am most familiar with.

It was an excellent comic. Imbuing Greek mythos in she origins (prior to that, her origin was word of mouth but George retold everything is gorgeous comic drawing detail).

In that iteration, the Amazon was created using the souls of women abused throughout history and were eventually killed by men...

The goddess in Greece mythos, created the Amazons so show mankind what can be... (eg. peace for all).

And if you remember you Greek mythos one of Hercules' task for Hippolyta belt (and according to what is suggested in the comic, Hercules took advantage of Hippolyta during that task)

After that the goddess not wanting their creation for be abused further by mankind, created Paradise Island (Themyscira) only then did Hippolyta shaped a baby by the beach and the goddesses and surprisingly Hermes put the last soul of woman abused throughout history into the baby.

I understand from Wikipedia, her origins had since been tweaked and it is this latest origins they had used for the movie (I still prefer George's version)

I am going on the record that DC had got this movie right.

The story, the casting the production.... the humanity (the primary ingredient)!! I can find tiny flaws, and have to add, it is nitpicking.

This would not hurt Justice League.

If anything, may even draw more ticket sales for it.

Go watch this.

My Two Sen.

P.S. Breath DC, breath...

I recommend u spoiler your comments

Chris Pine is American

Erm... David Thewlis was also Lupin in the Haryy Potter series.

I kinda like him here

His character kinda keeps you guessing....

Until a cure or vaccine is readily available it can only get worst...

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Hello kiddies!

How is everyone?

I hope everyone is well.

It is showing.

It is NOT showing.

Oh it is showing.

Duing this difficult time, I am sure there are alot of spectators to the world of politics (both in the US and locally) and also the Covid-19 situation.

I on the other hand THE news I was following was whether or not Wonder Woman 1984 is going to show.

I salivated for this movie (that is right I SALIVATED!)

And after all the wait

After wondering why GSC website isn't taking ticketing sales (you have to use their app )

How IS the movie?

50/50

There are some part of this movie I absolutely LOVE!!!

There are some parts where I went

First arch, pure gold.

The beginning at the second arch, still good.

And things went south after that...

Maybe because of the wait, my expectation are feverishly high (no no, I do not have Covid-19, not need to get the health minister to commit me)

This could have been such an amazing movie (to me).

Some part of the script I feel can be made much better....

Do not take my word about this. If you are safe in your local cinema, please consider watching this. The production value is great.

And like always, this is JUST, My Two Sen

Amazing they spend so much resource on this

And the same director who made Wonder Woman 2017 also made this!

Credit where credit is due, I did like the first act, and then is progressively get more and more disappointing...

Magic?
