Theater Whore: Justice League

Justice League 1/10

This is not a fun movie. You'd think a movie with all of these characters would at the very least be fun but it was very much not. It wasn't even cool. With superhero or comic book based movies if you can't get anything right the very least you can do is make characters look like they are supposed to or cool. That does not happen with this. And for anyone that says I am a Marvel whore and love all their movies (which I don't) I have a goddamn Batman tattoo on my right arm and a Warner Bros. based one on the left. So kiss my ass. I have no brand loyalty, not even with the toothpaste or toilet paper I buy. I just wanna be entertained...and have nice breath and a clean ass.

Theater Whore: Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman 5/10

I decided to watch Wonder Woman despite saying I wouldn't. If you've read my movie reviews this is not something new. I tend to shit on movies and end up watching them. This movie has such a simple premise that it makes no sense to say there will be spoilers. It also has a lot of actors that I won't bother naming because there are a lot of “that guy from that film” character actors in this. The story is pretty much Wonder Woman, aka Princess Diana, played by Gal Gadot leaves Themyscira after a plane carrying Trevor Rogers played by Chris Pine lands there. She saves his ass and then leaves with him to see the world and kill ze Germans.

Theater Whore: Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice

Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice 2/10

Spoilers so shut up and everything colored is a link. Punch, kick, sad, fight, sad, talk, punch, mope. That is pretty much what I took away from this movie. The reason I give it a 2 instead of a 1 is because Batman looked cool. This movie takes place just 18 months after the last one where Superman and General Zod fucked up Metropolis during their fight killing and injuring thousands of people. Batman just happened to be nearby when this occurred and he is all like “Nuh-uh. Not on my watch.” Oh, and Lex Luther is also pulling strings in the most cartoon super villain of ways while acting like The Riddler.

New Wonder Woman Image Kind Of Released

A new image was released of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and I was less than impressed considering that a full image of her was released months ago. She spoke of playing WW in an upcoming (2017) movie and said “Oh, my God, I'm so excited about this role. I feel like I've been given a huge opportunity to inspire people, not only women. And not because of me but because of who Wonder Woman is and what she stands for. There's a lot of responsibility. But I have the best team and the best people to work with. It's going to be an amazing ride, knock on wood.” On IMDB the small synopsis of the movie is “An Amazon princess comes to the world of Man to become the greatest of the superheroines.”

It is being directed by Patty Jenkins who only other movie credit is Monster from 2003 and starred Charlize Theron. God, why couldn't she have been cast as Wonder Woman? The writer is a guy that did one of the Ice Age sequels and that Pan movie that came out a little bit ago and tanked (on a budget of $150 million it has made just $33 million in the last month and a half). I don't have too much hope for this movie or most of the upcoming ones (check that post out here). I don't hate DC films. People pick sides. You're either Marvel or DC. Its bullshit. I'm pro good films. The best Marvel thing made has been Daredevil and the best DC has been Batman. The whole set of DC films hinge on Batman V. Superman being incredible and I just don't see it being that. 

New Wonder Woman Image Released

There comes a time in every nerds life when you just realize that no amount of complaining is gonna fix anything. This time I am tired of being upset about the new Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice movie that is coming out. They released the image of the new Wonder Woman being played by Gal Gadot and when I saw it I just sighed in defeat. Okay. I get it. You don’t want Wonder Woman to look cool or threatening in the least. I was hoping that Gadot would at the very least put on some extra pounds but so far it looks like they are going with a very thin woman that appears to be in a Halloween outfit. While it isn’t close to as bad as that series that never aired it still doesn’t scream Wonder Woman to me. It does scream Xena: Warrior Princess though.

Yep.

Should Gal Gadot Be Wonder Woman?

A while back I wrote a blog defending Ben Affleck playing Batman here in the upcoming Superman movie. I'm still fine with this but then I heard that they were going to add Wonder Woman to the mix and my eyebrow went up so fast that it hurt. There is always a problem when it comes to Wonder Woman films which I wrote about before here.

Wonder Woman is an iconic character that has had highs and lows in the comics, a cool series back in the day, an incredible resurgence in cartoon, but has struggled in terms of a movie or new series. Hell, the latest attempt at a series was so bad that it didn't even get a chance to air after the script and images of it got out. Honestly the best version of a live action Wonder Woman since Lynda Carter was Kimberly Kane in a porno!
