Truthfully I think it will remain as such even after watching Logan. I hope DC takes to heart the lessons they learnt here.

Superman had no hope to be a good character after awful MoS and then they just built on that in such a stupid way but having Batman's showdown with him as early as the second movie. Suicide Squad was about villains but Smith and Robbie did wonders there, but unfortunately they too were let down by writers and directors.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-89304758635417440542017-06-08T18:46:18.131+02:002017-06-08T18:46:18.131+02:00Totally agree with everything you're saying he...Totally agree with everything you're saying here! I loved it even more I think, rating it close to perfect and trying hard not to see its faults because there are some, but as far as DCU movies go, it's like a masterpiece (granted, I've only seen Suicide Squad, but that was a mess so). <br /><br />Pine's casting at first was a little weird to me, I guess I didn't see him in this role in my mind but oh man, he proved me so so so wrong! He is such a charismatic actor and well, he just had all the great moments along side Diana which why I loved this movie so much. <br /><br />I will try to pen more my thoughts down when I get to the review but I already have so many thoughts, I don't know how I will control them. Also, don't really want to think about that final act any time soon because god damn it, I cried!<br /><br />PS: No Man's Land scene - literally me sitting on my seat, clenching my fists and being rewarded with such an amazing scene was all worth it! <br /><br />Great review!Getterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07216666216639032348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-245307323070366452017-06-08T18:27:47.454+02:002017-06-08T18:27:47.454+02:00We sure can be :)We sure can be :)s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-42352228152863407482017-06-08T18:08:40.796+02:002017-06-08T18:08:40.796+02:00I really hope WB signs Patty for sequel, it is sha...I really hope WB signs Patty for sequel, it is shady and it looks bad she is not signed on yets.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-78533506209290748672017-06-08T06:31:41.003+02:002017-06-08T06:31:41.003+02:00Thank you!

As a proxy for us, he makes believing all these fantastic things completely effortless. He's charming, kind and for a guy a hundred years ago...he's compassionate and respectful. I totally dug his character. And by 'dug', clearly I mean WILL FOREVER ENVY.<br /><br />Also, I really appreciate the point(s) you made about women never getting a film like this. I could never articulate this point as well as you did, and am glad you wrote what you did. Me just writing 'woman pretty' 900 times wasn't super helpful. Or eloquent.

There's hope and heart that was missing from Batman v. Superman especially, which often felt grim for its own sake. I didn't connect as much with the final battle, which started heading in that direction. But it worked because Gal Gadot is so good as Diana. She sells even the less convincing moments, and Chris Pine is right up there too.

I liked your reading of the No Man’s Land scene, but I am starting to feel that I am very much in the minority but that scene didn’t sit comfortably with me. I just didn’t like the idea that it was a superhero that was the impetus for going over the top in an aspect of the war that was hitherto the deadliest and most dehumanising battle in human history. I felt the film didn’t do enough to salute the bravery of the millions of real people who died.Myerlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00772428029534463716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-69313969833570392052017-06-06T04:26:22.011+02:002017-06-06T04:26:22.011+02:00Great review!

I remember writing a post in 2013 about how/why we hadn't had a WW film. For years I have debated with man trolls about how a female super hero film could make money. I was so tired of two crappy films (Catwoman and Elektra) being thrown in my face as if two films could represent an entire gender? <br /><br />So you are absolutely right--it's unbelievable and amazing that a film with half the budget of the normal DCECU pieces of excrement, with 1/4th of the marketing budget, and w/ the awful DC/WB execs fighting against it every step of the way (who should have been fired years ago)--that this film was as good as it was. Seeing this film brought to life in such a heartwarming way brought tears to my eyes several times during this film. msmariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486729990673366769noreply@blogger.com
