New Order / Blue Monday works so damn perfectly for this trailer.  I don't see superhero movies, but it makes me want to see it.

Yep.  They know how to get me interested anyway...

Looks like they’re trying to do WW’s Ragnorok. Hopefully I’m wrong.

Said the same thing...not sure how some others aren't seeing it.

How are they explaining Steve being alive in 1984?

Yeah, forgive me, but I need to know how they explain that before I'm okay with it.

How so?

 

The entire vibe of the trailer and look of it.  The way Wonder Woman is written...very 80's vibe to both movies.

 

I also like how DC fanboys were all like "lulz at that Black Widow trailer, WW just blew it away" and I"m here thinking both look good.

[Brisketexan 105478]

I don't know about y'all, but I find Gal Gadot rather attractive.

Ragnarok was more of a 70's psychedelic theme, with a little early 80's Sci-Fi, most notably Flash Gordon (1980).  The soundtrack synth sound was almost all 70's.  This seems excess 80's to me.  Way more silly 80's style and probably music to come with this as 84/85 is sort of the zenith of the 80's style.

Thank goodness WB saw how bad they handled WW in the JL movie and gave Patty Jenkins another shot. 

[Drew 2551]

I wasn't really talking about the music choice, but the look and feel of the trailer and the overlay of the title.  It definitely feels similar, even if you're talking about a 5 year difference in pop culture.

[Parliament 14357]

Yeah I can't describe WHY, but they definitely have a similar feel.

[mdmost 43074]

 

[RPM 26374]

Kristen Wiig as the villain? This has lowered my expectations.

[Pato del Muerto 52663]

Yeah the mild mannered, shy, overlooked person with glasses finds a way to get power is more than a little cliché. 
 

i thought/ hoped they were making a movie that was like the tv show but it’s not that. 

[CooterBrown 18038]

That. Looks. Horrible.

[Michael Knight 13007]

The first trailer was better, this doesn't even look like the same movie

[Scary Stranger 1715]

[Surly Bevo 25255]

First trailer had some New Order Blue Monday, this had a bunch of Kristen Wiig apparently as a villain.  If you're going to make a GenX nostalgia film, probably best to stick to convention in your marketing campaigns.

[Apep 645]

It looks like yet another WW film where the DCAU did it better.

[Herpa Derpa 6132]

[Don Johnson 4758]

When did this becomes Cats?

This.  That first trailer was damn near perfect for pushing 80s buttons.   Preferred Maxwell Lord as the main villain as well, ala Lex Luthor, manipulating Wiig's character.

gal gadot is unreasonably attractive.

You're going to want to check out this movie.

 

[Richter 2282]

Hmm, not one reference to Big Brother? 

[mulletpelini 5216]

seeing a whole lot of Superman II plot line there.  More lazy film making, do they think we forget?

[BrazilHorn 6638]

Yep - this trailer makes movie look "meh".

Fingers crossed it will be solid but it isn't looking that way from this trailer - lots of cliches, tired tropes etc

I get it is a comic book movie but you can still do better.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19173]

Cheetah is a classic WW comic book villain.

Yep.

And the new trailer is definitely a step back, but they will still get my money.  Gal Gadot could just stand there for 90 minutes and not say a damn thing and they'd still get my money.

Dec 25 HBO Max release 

 

[mdmost 43074]

They are going to take such a bath on that movie.

Counterpoint:  A whole shitload of Roku customers are all of the sudden going to do what they have to do to subscribe and watch it.

With the last Roku update this week, you can now use AirPlay from an iDevice. Tested it last night and HBO Max works perfectly that way now.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19173]

Seems like some of the media just got to see it and they are saying it is excellent.

I hope it is excellent but the trailer is meh. The last time we got a meh trailer and rave advance critic reviews we were given The Last Jedi.

[Drew 2551]

I'm sorry, none of the TLJ trailers were "Meh".  Think you're thinking something else.

 

It was the rave reviews, and then a loud, even if a minority(except on here where you guys went scorched earth), of the Star Wars fan base got their panties in a bunch about that movie and we had a referendum on Rotten Tomatoes and Reviews in general.  The trailers were all pretty well received.

Streaming now on HBO Max.

[Brothahorn 10087]

Ready to watch it now, the family voted for after lunch. Selfish assholes.

 

Side note: I don't see how this model is going to work for the movie business. At 11:15 there was already a torrent link. 20 minutes later there was 4, one in 2160p. Not sure how the studios can make money. I love the convenience of online releases but I don't see this lasting very long.

[Bevo&Pevo 5264]

Will watch it today and most likely will unknowlngly drool on myself.  Will blame it on the vodka of course.

It can work because 5 0f the 6 major movie studios own or have an affiliated company that owns a major streaming platform.  Sony is the exception.

[Js1 85649]

It’s LONG. Planning to watch tonight. Just amazed it’s 151 min 

[RPM 26374]

Gal Gadot hot as ever. Kristin Wiig miscast over her head. Antonio Banderas obviously passed and they went with a suitable backup.

Overall, entertaining, but not nearly as good as the original.

Stick around for the credits extra scene.

[billfromlaketravis 11560]

Why did this movie need to be 2 hours and 30 minutes?! Is this the Jenkins Cut?

convenience and accessibility will kill piracy every time, just look at steam

[RPM 26374]

Invisible F-111 was a nice touch (along with extending it's max range by 60%).

Pretty apples and oranges there. Pirating games can be much more finicky for various reasons. Agree that it's a convenience and accessibility play. Also people are either too dumb, too lazy or not morally ambigious enough to pirate things.

You are probably right. But it's a lot easier to pirate a movie, than a game. 

[Buzzrock 15004]

I’m two scenes in and already don’t want to watch the rest of it. I hope Wiig improves things.

You should bail. Trust me. 

[Buzzrock 15004]

This movie is bad. 

[MillerEP 30501]

It’s not bad, it’s so over the top it’s cheesy, but that’s the staple DC Comics route they’ve inexplicably chosen for all their movies. Marvel tends to try to ground the fantastical elements to make them believable despite being a superhero movie. DC just doubles down on it and it takes me out of the movie.

Either way, it was entertaining enough for Christmas break.

[RPM 26374]

Worth streaming, but I wouldn't buy a ticket.

[hundredTT 578]

I loved the first one. I honestly turned this one off after about 45 mins, the fuckkk was that? Watched it with my niece and nephew and they were out as well. Both loved the first one too. Not exaggerating, what I watched may have been the worst movie I’ve ever seen. And I love comic book movies/easily entertained.
