personally this isn’t that bad.. but if you think this is disappointing definitely do NOT watch 1984 … that… was a shitshow 😭
Lol I did myself a favor and watched Black Adam before watching 1984 like a month ago, and 1984 was a MASTERPIECE compared to Black Adam!
Came here to say this. I enjoyed the first one.
This is citizen Kane compared to 1984.
Yeah, 84 is pretty bad. They somehow managed to turn her into a rapist it was so poorly written
maybe she should? might change her mind on this movie lol
I think its funny that 2 different actors named Chris took roles in comic book films where they played a character names Steve that crashed in a plane at the end of their respective films.
No that- wait you’re right
...in a plane they each boarded, then intentionally scuttled, in order to stop a German military operation during a World War.
If I had a nickel for every time an actor named Chris played a character named Steve in a superhero movie that crashed a plane...
And it was also during a World War
@@NotMe6044 I'd only have two nickels, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Funny cause this one is considered to be one of the best movies from the DCEU by many, myself included. I personally think it's good and I cried a little.
I hear Shazam is really good too but I've yet to see that one.
Shazam was my favorite of all DC movies ever made. Totally worth watching!
I swear the entire video I’m just yelling “she is fucking wonder woman. Do you not know who wonder woman is? Second strongest hero Superman? Ring any fucking bells!” 😅
The actress who played Etta Candy (the secretary) you probably remember from SHAWN OF THE DEAD as the actress girlfriend who does acting exercises right before they try to blend in with the zombies. She's hilarious in everything.
She also killed it as Hilda in The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
@@TheeWandaStan And she's the "Pam" in the British 'The Office'
And she was in pride and prejudice from the BBC mini series.
Well she is watching these movies with mindset that they are gonna be bad, ofcourse she won’t like them (even the good parts)
Sadly as WW fan i think this movie is just medium.
I thought this movie was better than any marvel female lead property
Honestly think this one of the best DCEU movies just cuz she captured the character so well you feel her love for mankind when she talked about helping them saving them this movie had so much heart and the No Man's Land scene was just incredible one of the best
She should have replied "But I'm not a man."
@@eatsmylifeYT yeah i think that would be even more of a mistake to make when portraying like war... Specially one that did happen.
@@punusername3445 You obviously have no sense of humor.
Yes it is. The rest have great moments and some great casting, but compared to some marvel movies and casting ( Chris Evans, winter soldier)
I have to agree. Gal's demonstration of Diana's undying compassion for Life (somewhat like Lilu from 5th Element) really rings through the entire film and character.
It's a bit heart-rending at times (when it doesnt fall flat).
16:41 The whole suit is armor. Her whole stance when blocking makes sure that the only opening below her are covered by the boots so no, she has no openings. You can even see the bullets hit her boots.
Lmao if she thought this was disappointing, I'd love to see her react to 1984 😂😂😂
Ya part of me agrees with this yet part of me doesn't wish for her to have to suffer through it...
Sadist...
She hated it because it told the truth about History and Human nature... And didn't push the FEMINIST NARRATIVE... now... She'll probably love 84...as that was a garbage heep of trash, because it was written and directed by a feminist....
All feminist movies flops...
Something tells me she'll do the passive opposite....cause This reaction look forced as sh*! I don't know what's with the reaction channels but something doesn't quite fit when one of them decide to counter react way too hard.
@@changsangma1915 Wonder Woman was "Meh" at best.
They should have had James Cameron make the film then it would have been Awesome.
Wonder Woman needed to be a fully realized character, not some cookie cutter 2D cut and paste female super hero
James Cameron wrote and directed the first 2 Terminator films, Sarah Conner (played by Linda Hamilton) was a bad ass lead character, she did not look like a Super Model, she started off weak and scared (as she should seeing as how a Terminator was trying to kill her) but once she understood the situation she "Woman'ed Up" and became one of the all-time great female badasses of all time, look how she was portrayed in Terminator 2 Judgement Day.
Ellen Ripley portrayed by (Sigourney Weaver)
She was introduced into the Alien Franchise as the sole human survivor and she showed she was a tough Boss Bitch, when James Cameron wrote and directed "Aliens" he dialed up her BadAssery up to 11 and she joined Linda Hamilton as being 2 of the biggest Boss Bitches who kick ass in Cinematic History.
All without looking like a Super Model or strutting around in a Bathing Suit.
no reactors ever include sammy's little speech about charlie's ptsd and "we can't be who we want to be all the time" and idk why. like, it's such a great little moment and commentary on the importance of trying and getting stuck in patterns and it's always stuck with me
Moments like that ate often big targets for copyright so they usually cut it for safety
Yeah that was an awesome bit :) Not every bloke in a uniform is some spartan super soldier .. most are mere mortals doing what they can.
I grew up with Wonder Woman. Read the comics for years, watched the Linda Carter TV show, read the books about the history of the character through the many decades since her first appearance. While this movie wasn't outstanding, it's still a great movie, and does justice to the character and her history. I still love it, and Gal Godot is a fantastic Wonder Woman.
Err So Tom Holland and zendaya awkward conversations ain't awkward but Diana and Steve on the boat scene is??
"I m both frightened and aroused" and you asked him to STFU but when Ned in Spiderman gave creepy lines you enjoyed it...
so much bias it shows
This is a damn masterpiece compared to the sequel
Right on and also, hope y'all pull out the W at Burrowhead tomorrow 😂
Compared to the sequel, yes very much so.
Compared to Man of Steel its very mid. I still enjoy it more than some other DCEU movies tho
This is because the sequel suffered from the complete lack of involvement from Zack Snyder and amateur director Patty Jenkins given full control and freedom along with that complete doughbag Geoff Johns.
Or you know Suicide Squad, Batman v Superman, the original Justice League. Etc. Lol
The Wonder Woman animated movies on HBO max are better.
Ain’t gonna lie. That title hurt. LoL
Fr 😭
I was personally offended also 😂
I liked that we had a hero who had grown up sheltered and naive about evil. A character so pure in heart that seeing the evil in the world was devastating for her. This is a hero story we never see.
That's what I liked too but it made the ending so much more frustrating. When I saw this movie for the first time, I was positively surprised when Diana killed the german officer she suspected to be Ares with ease and... nothing happens. The fight goes on. I thought for a moment the movie was going for a more nuanced ending, where our naive hero realizes that humanity is not only good and peaceful people who have been misled by the god of war, but that people are complex and killing one big bad will usually not stop a conflict, because the roots of war are much deeper than that. That there are problems you can't just punch away. I was honestly in awe that a superhero blockbuster would go for such an understated but thematically fitting climax.
But of course, it actually didn't go there and we got a cheap twist and our 15 minutes of CGI people punching each other real hard and then World War 1, one of the most complex conflicts in human history, is ended because one bad guy was killed. Because god forbid a comic book blockbuster doesn't end with a big action sequence, no matter how much more interesting the alternative is.
and yet the reactor cringe at all the slow scrnes
Idk, I was disappointed because it would have been so much more interesting for Diana to learn about the complexity of people and the world. How the world isn't black and white, evil vs good. Instead, we get a big ol light show special effects battle with her fighting some goofy guy and looks like he was in control of all evil in the world so everyone is good now that he's dead. It's so simple and lame
@@DerMoerpler that's exactly the thematic ending that the movie gave us😵😵
@@DerMoerpler Yeah but you are forgetting that is based in Mythology. Ares is the god of war who caused war in the first place.
Everytime i hear someone say "why dont you shoot a fucking tiny ass body part from really fucking far away?", I get a little annoyed especially if they have no idea how hard that is on a still target with perfect conditions let alone people shooting back at you.
I’m starting to get the feeling that Campiness just isn’t Natalie’s thing, as seen watching her reactions for Terminator, Spider-Man 2 and now this
Might be on to something there. Nothing wrong with that if it's true though, not everything is everyone's cup of tea.
I love campiness, and Wonder Woman is my favorite fictional character of all time, and I don’t really like this movie either.
but she liked terminator and spiderman 2
@@Heroo01 if that's true then she would have not called it disappointing cause people say this movie is good
@@F13FAR0 it is. The sequel makes this looks Oscar worthy
if you think this was disappointing… just WAIT for the second one. 😂
Or Natalie should try the original Wonder Woman series. Linda Carter was great, but the series was DREADFUL!
Her reactions get nastier and nastier as time goes on. She started out enjoying movies, but over the last few months all she does is criticize every scene in every film. She's turned into a "film snob", and frankly I'm ready to tune out.
@@Mr.Ekshin I think it's because she's listening to her audience more. Her audience is telling her a good movie for a bad (like ignore bvs and suicide squad because they said it was bad) she needs to stop listening to popular opinions and make up her own mind
@@Emperor_DarkWolf - No, she's in the film industry, and she's one of those kids who thinks she knows a lot more about films than she really does. She's becoming a real film snob. She'll pretend to really enjoy artsy woke films that critics also pretend to love (but audiences hate).
And she spews snarky hate on the fun films that audiences actually love. You know, the films that don't come off as boring, agenda-driven sermons. Hollywood seems bent on creating woke garbage these days. They're losing billions of dollars, but don't seem to care. They actually give each other awards for films that lose money.
@@Mr.Ekshin You could have almost been convincing, but you actually used the word "woke" with a straight face... Also you are mind-reading audiences, pretending that all of them have the same taste, which obviously is not true. In summary, you are acting exactly like one of these "film snobs" you are describing. Maybe you should take some deep breaths and really think about it. You don't want to become mentally "frozen", do you? Life is a journey! Learning new things and changing our mind is one of the things that humans do at their best.
Nat - “Why don’t they just shoot her in the legs?”
Movie - Clearly shows bullets being deflected by WW’s leg guards at that very moment.
Me - I should rewatch the Captain America reactions and see if she’s asked that about him.
Also me - (Realizes the amount of movies Captain America appeared in) Eh… I’m gunna go draw a picture of Wonder Woman and Captain America arguing over who’s shield is better…
Yeah you have to realize she was full of shit honestly. She not an honest reactor. She was going to hate this movie no matter what
I don't think she would be hurt by bullets hitting her legs give that she is almost a god and she reacts faster than bullets so she could block them from hitting anywhere as easy as a human catching a basketball. I guess cartoons and fantasy was missing from Natalie's childhood
In the comics, he’s skin is also bulletproof. She only uses the gear to avoid jiggle. (That’s canon.)

No she is weak to piercing weapons to use a D&D term.
actually that already retcon since post crisis. her weakness si ce post crisis is piercing object. this movie is based on new52 which is after post crisis era
With each reboot they make her closer and closer to superman for..... reasons
@@boboboy8189 what language are you trying to communicate with ?
The scene in this movie where Wonder Woman protects Steve with her bracelets pays tribute to the scene where Superman protects Lois in Superman 1.
If Wonder Woman was disapointing; please, please, please, don't watch Green Lantern.
Or she can watch it and take a drink every time she cringes 😂
No please do 😂
If you're disappointed with wonder woman you'll be disappointed with most DC movies outside of batman begins and the dark knight, and Aquaman. In my opinion of course.
@@crispy_338 i second this LMAOO
Agree, love Ryan Reynolds but his talent was wasted in this movie. The only good thing about it was watching the chemistry between him and Blake Lively. As far as I know they are still going strong.
The actress that plays Etta, Steve's secretary plays one the aunts in the chilling adventures of Sabrina on Netflix. She's a wonderful actress
the no mans land scene killed me, she is naive and innocent, a really good super hero
The whole scene up to where she destroys the beltower was epic. And her guitar theme is epic every time.
It's not a whip, Natalie. It's a lasso.
Catwoman has a whip. Wonder Woman has a lasso.
Black Canary has a badass voice.
To be fair ww uses it in a way that LOOKS like a whip a LOT.
@@avrilfan0521that's a "recent" change by DC. They did the same thing with Wonder Girl, who they also made a child of Zeus.
@@kevinmoore2929isn't she a granddaughter of Zeus and not a chidl
They did target her legs. Her legs have armor.
In the original comics,she was made from clay and brought to life by the Olympian goddesses at her mothers request. It was changed to the whole daughter of Zeus thing in the 2010s and as a lifelong Wonder Woman fan, I hate it. I think it made her more special to just have a mother (or mothers, depending how you look at it) than just to have Hippolyta be another one of Zeus' babymamas.
Yeah...the Perez origin is much better, although I did enjoy Azzerello's new52 run.
But the daughter of zeus origins make her power's make sense
@@danielmillward9947 But we wouldn't need that. It could be just a mystery or explained in a different way. For example one could say she is that strong because she is the latest generation of Amazon, and just have it be the way that with each generation they get stronger. And somehow this latest jump happened to be a bit bigger than expected. I wouldn't have bat any eye if they had no explanation of her powers at all.
@@silkwesir1444 we kinda do because how are we going to explain a amazonian who can almost keep up with a kryptonian 😂
@@danielmillward9947 wonder woman’s origin before the zues origin always explains that the goddess’s of olympus blessed her with all of her powers
I love that you kept calling him Lupin. I do the same with characters I loved in a prior show or movie so when someone who played a good person is now playing a villain, I'm just as dramatic if not more lol
I loved this movie. That No Man's Land scene makes me cry EVERYTIME I watch it
Thank you! Enjoy your reactions as well! 😁👍
Awesome scene. Was disappointed she was laughing the entire time.
My favorite reactor ☺☺
Your reactions are amazing! Loved your Cobra Kai videos. :)
I love this movie and your reactions.
Disappointing? Really? :(
It's one of my most rewatched superhero movies. I just really enjoy it.
Same, i am not even into superhero movies but i really liked this one!!
IKR! I love this movie!
Wonder Woman is definitely the best DCEU movie
Damn I like this one more than the other one🫠
Agreed
“No dirt on her?” She’s a God lmfaooo also maybe it’s like Aphrodite’s blessing lol staying fighting but you’ll never look a mess
Whoever said to skip Batman v Superman is dumb, it's a flawed movie but it's still an entertaining watch and one of they key movies you'd want to see if doing any DCEU flicks
"You should be very proud" is probably one of my favorite lines in moviedom, no matter how the rest of it went. I loved this one's experience but I understand the disappointment.
The best part of the movie if we're being honest. Right next to, "Oh, a baby!"
@@MoneyGist for me the best one is after they save that town and they celebrate. Beautiful. I'm surprised Nat skipped it entirely :(
I wouldn't go so far to say favorite line in moviedom, but "getting" this line may be a good indicator for "getting" the movie or not.
Am I the only one who thought the battle with ares was the coolest?
This is my second favorite movie where an actor named Chris plays a character named Steve and sacrifices him self during a world War. That also had a super hero that wears red and blue and has a round shild.
My favorite bit of movie trivia is when Diana crosses no man's land, the german tactics are historically accurate... if she was a tank
If you thought this one was bad, you're going to DETEST the sequel
nowhere did she say this movie was bad, just that she didn't enjoy it as much as Man of Steel......
The only good things about the sequel are some of the action scenes and the character throwing her Tiara just like in the comics. The sequel screwed up the Invisible Jet and why she can fly. Pedro Pascal performance as Maxwell lord was unintentionally hilarious. Kristen Wiig as Cheetah was miscast. Natalie Dormer should have been the character.
@@chrismeulen8108 I mean the title literally says "disappointing" can you read?
@@haridaspalleeri6765 Disappointing and bad are not synonyms... can YOU read?
@@biguy617 No, Pedro Pascal's performance was *intentionally* hilarious. He is the best thing in the movie and made what would rather be a boring villain into a very fun character to watch every time he was onscreen
This one is good compared to the second film
Many films are
This one is a great film on its own. In fact, it's one of the few DCEU films that is genuinely well-written. And it's strengthened by Gal Gadot's performance and chemistry with Pine, the action sequences and cinematography.
@@vetarlittorf1807 let’s not get crazy
@@conormurphy4328 I'm not. Crazy would be saying Man of Steel is a great film when it's really only average. Wonder Woman, however, lives up to its potential.
Damning with faint praise... 😄
Did anybody else watching this movie notice that the shot of her slow motion leap into the sky at the end of the movie is the exact same re-purposed shot from earlier when she jumps off of the shield and into the building to fight the Germans ?
I think this movie was great up until the Ares reveal. There is an alternate universe where the movie just ends with Diana witnessing the good of human struggle and defeat the evil in humans with no Ares influence, and this becomes what inspires her to become the hero we know her to be. I would prefer to watch that ending.
that would've made it far better - I completely lost any remaining immersion my first time watching in theaters when the videogame end boss battle kicked off
However, the original ending includes all that as well. It's not one or the other, it's both.
Disappointing? I thought it was one of the best ones.
That still doesn't say much when it comes to DC unfortunately
you must have missed the final third
@@danishprince2760 Except for Shazam and James Gunn's Suicide Squad! Those are the only ones that weren't disappointing imo
It’s a low bar lol
Gal Gadot was the best part of this whole time movie I mean we all love her right !!
This is actually one of the few DCEU films that AREN’T completely disappointing lol. Still excited to see this reaction tho.
It was a major letdown for me.
The first 1/2 of the film was pretty perfect but the back 1/2 was terrible. Take Gal Gadot out of the role and it's easier to see.
It was that bad.
I'm so surprise with her opinion and happy because i'm one de fews people who dont like this movie.
@@subjetivid4dess420Good luck with your bad taste
@@Ireee702 ok
Comparing it to other DCEU movies is like saying one person’s poop is less smelly.
Really? This one was disappointing? Damn, I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy it, I genuinely love this one. It’s a top 10 comic book movie for me
Its a great movie with a very simple premise and message. I like it it a lot since its really does bring the character properly into the mainstream forefront.
For the first time I'm worried about watching a Nat video, this movie is one of my favorite omg (scared)
Fun fact: Gal Gadot couldn’t do a fake accent for this movie, so they had all the other amazonians just mimic her accent
😬
Fun fact: That is not true and there is no evidence for it.
fake news.
Yep true and it's a brilliant move
@@hoya1178 that doesnt hold up due to the fact that in every single of her movie she is in she has that accent.
The Ares actor is David Thewlis. he is rad, check him on in an older film called Naked. He is solid even when he is just a supporting role like in The BIg Lebowski or Kingdom of Heaven.
She is like near Superman level indestructible so even being shot in the legs is unlikely to be effective. Like most of the DC movies, they hit like 60%, maybe 70% of cool shit but then just like weird decisions.
There's a UA-camr named Filmento who makes really great little video essays on comic book movies, and he really nailed why this movie almost worked but doesn't. This movie presents the notion of "there is no single force corrupting mankind. Some parts of humanity are just bad. But the good parts of humanity are still worth protecting." That's a really nuanced and beautiful take, especially for the origin story of an immortal superhero who lives throughout multiple ages.
Problem is, because of the conventions of superhero movies (at least mid/mediocre/bad ones) the hero still has to have a big punch out with some CGI monster at the end. So the movie tries and fails to have its cake and eat it too by presenting that message, but having Ares still be a thing anyway. And it's even more ridiculous when everyone suddenly stops fighting, as if that stopped all war forever when this is LITERALLY WORLD WAR ~1~
DC comics movies, at least around the time this came out, had a habit of usually being pretty bad, and the ones that were kind of okay were still miserable and grey, because the executives at Warner Bros. who make the creative decisions fundamentally misunderstand what people like about comic book movies. So when this came out it was almost a breath of fresh air by being...kinda sorta okay lol But its flaws show more and more over time. I'd say Wonder Woman 1984 is just as good, but for wildly different reasons (the Shrek 2 effect lol) so take from that what you will.
this movie was a blessing compared to other DC movies the bar is really that low 😭
I actually think this is a genuinely good movie. Don't wanna start a fan discussion, but I personally like it more than a lot of MCU films.
@@nikolaiquack8548 For me it's not more than a LOT of the MCU films, but it ranks right up there with the MCU films, over other DC movies.
@@Logan_Baron Fair.
@@nikolaiquack8548 i personally love it a lot
@@nikolaiquack8548 And less than 10 people agree with you. Despite what your specific social media algorithms lead you to believe.
Ruh roh, if you think this one is disappointing, you're gonna have a difficult time with the DCEU. This is considered one of the better ones!
Best one.
@@Logan_Baron 4th imo
I think Aquaman and THE Suicide Squad are among the better ones along with this and MOS.
Aquaman ,2021 suicide squad this and peacmaker
@@helloitsme327 I’d put all of those after Wonder Woman but I’m probably in the minority. I like them all tho
As a little german kid who watched dubbed movies, i never realized the bad guys were german, because they always were dupped in german with russian accent
WONDER WOMAN IS BY FAR THE BEST AND STRONGEST SUPER HERO OUT THERE. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER.
I watched this movie in the cinema and God, what an experience, I loved it and everyone that was there, it was incredible 😍
you loved everyone in the cinema? okay then......
Same
wait, what?
wow people getting freaky at the midnight showings
I saw the title and had to click. Especially since this is one of the DCEU's best films. 🤣
I was always annoyed at Steve's death, because he had the plane and the poison.
Dude could just land somewhere and then blow it up after, it's a plane, it can land.
Bombs were on a timer hence him blowing it up in the sky
I appreciate when Nat can be honest about her thoughts and criticisms of a movie. Hopefully Shazam and The Suicide Squad can turn her around on the DCEU!
Those movies are even worse.
Those movies are terrible😂🤡
suicide squad 1 and 2 were even more trash than this most likely the only one she would like is aquaman
@@CheGuevara-uf4pm hahahahahahaha
The entire dceu is terrible
About to start watching your reaction. I’m surprised by the title, though. I found the ending underwhelming, but the first 80% to be quite good for a super-hero movie.
Agreed. It felt like the predictable showy battle was forced by the studio, which was a shame because there had already been plenty of gorgeous violent spectacle. An ending like the Potter/Wein Ares arc, where she uses the lasso to show Ares that war without limits destroys even itself would have been much more interesting and truer to the character.
@@julesvanoosterom This is actually pretty much what happened.
That's true. I didn't enjoy the villain showdown at the end much, but I liked the first two acts of the movie.
The more I re-watch this, the less I like the movie. I'm at the point where I'd agree that it's disappointing. It could have been so much better.
She watches way more movies than the average person, so I'm not surprised she found it mid.
Also, you can't cry into your pillow about studio interference ruining the third act... when Jenkins had way more creative freedom in the sequel.
Quick advice for Nat who is still probably trying to grow her channel. Don’t shit on a movie in the title before we even watch the reaction. Made it really easy for me not to watch.
The film version of Diana is an amalgamation of all of the prior versions from the comics, though the main ones would be during the late great illustrator/writer George Perez (Greek myths, Ares as a primary Machiavellian adversary, Diana formed from clay, each character given a rich complexity, probably my favorite run, also responsible for creating many of the elements of The Teen Titans) & the current run reignited by Greg Rucka (daughter of Zeus, her clay origin tied instead to a version to Donna Troy).
As an aside, amongst the many amazing storylines during this run, the Perez version of the Amazons (who physiologically had always been depicted as superior to your average human, lacking things like certain mortal vulnerabilities and having near immortality. Probably why Diana could explain away things without realizing her true divine heritage in the film.) were quite distinctive, as they were all reincarnated souls of abused women who died before their time, with no knowledge of their past lives, revived collectively by the Greek goddesses and led by Antiope & Hippolyta. Specifically in this regard, Hippolyta's past life died while pregnant, so when she was reborn, she had this specific need of wanting a child of her own. As a reward of her leadership and in answer to this calling, she was directed by her patron goddesses to a specific beach on the Amazonian island, Themyscira.
This spot not so coincidentally happened to be the final resting place of someone too formed from clay by the Greek gods as a tool of inquisitive temptation (for the Titan Epimetheus, the twin brother of Prometheus, who stole fire from the gods and gave it to mankind, so by association was designated for their wrathful punishment too) Pandora (bearer of the infamous jar, often referred to as Pandora's box). When breath left Pandora's body, it disintegrated into clay, mingling with the earth on the beach, used as the medium to form the infant child that would become Diana.
Now this serves to illustrate that not only was Diana the reincarnation of Hippolyta's past life's child, but she was meant to be a beacon of hope for mankind in the face of destructive forces set upon them by what was released from Pandora's jar, whereas Pandora had been initially created to set those very same destructive forces with hope remaining as the last to leave said vessel. They essentially were the reverse of he same coin.
Tying into this figuratively & visually, Perez turned the rounded lid of Pandora's jar into a amulet for his version of the mythological figure, Harmonia (goddess of harmony & concord, daughter to the respective embodiments of war & love, Ares & Aphrodite). Using this amulet on anyone would show their inherit weaknesses.
Because of this Harmonia, being fully aware of her father's actions while still caring about him, hoped for someone to bring him to task, pacifying as peacefully as possible, and thus loaned her amulet to someone she deemed worthy, Diana, who was able to exploit his weaknesses with the lid (as a symbolic metaphor for a coin flip, leading to a definitive decision based on outcome), and ultimately saving the world and the redemptive relationship between father & daughter.
Complicated? Yes.
Too much to ever try to adapt in one film? Perhaps.
Would I have preferred something like this rather than what was used in the final film? Leagues better.
But, you get what you get, and if this film ever generated enough interest of new readers in any of the comics, especially Perez's run, I'm truly happy for it's existence.
After all, while not perfectly executed, the film is still a fairly worthy endeavor.
I loved wonder woman 1. In 2017 I was just starting to get a little tired of super hero movies as they were getting harder and harder to impress me but when I saw this in theaters the no man’s land scene gave me chills.
She didn’t seem particularly impressed by the no man’s land scene. Oh well.
Yeah, the no-man's-land scene was an exquisite shampoo commercial.

@@dante2037 no way it’s riddled with problems. Again it’s high on DCs scale but doesn’t touch even B tier for superhero movies in general
Damning with faint praise.
If we're counting every theatrically released DC movie, it might be in the top ten.
I'd be surprised if anyone saw a comprehensive list of ALL superhero movies and still decided to rank it higher than maybe #25.
Its pretty telling that this is the best movie that DC has managed to bring out in their shared universe. Ugh.
Btw, fun drinking game if you ever decide to check out the sequel: One shot for every time some nonsensical bullshit happens. Make it a marathon with Love&Thunder if you want to experience alcohol poisoning.
Not sure if you are aware, but all the Xmen series you talked about are all Marvel comic book movies. They just have not been added to the MCU roster yet.
Awesome film 🔥
Hats off for the honest title. And thanks for all your hard work. But for me personally, I don’t enjoy watching reactors be disappointed by a film. Titles like these pretty much guarantee I’ll pass the video by.
I just dropped in to give you guys this message along with a view and a like anywho. C-ya at the next one!
I think we were all a little bamboozled by this movie when it first came out. The rest of the DCEU, at the time, was so lackluster and bloated that this particular entry into the franchise seemed really good in comparison. But it was neither great nor terrible, just okay. I felt like at one point they were going for a stronger message (Man's nature for war) but even that was ruined by its CGI mess of an ending and cliched villain. So, at the end of the day it was more or less a serviceable movie that was carried by the chemistry and charisma of its two leads. Unfortunately the same chemistry and charisma couldn't save its sequel.
Etta Candy was the most charming part of this whole movie. Just straight delightful.
**just got to your part also enjoying her, hells yah
The first one? Oh my I super enjoyed this one, gonna be interesting to see how this reaction goes
P.S. I don't believe it's explained too well in the movie but Ares draws his power from war, so the more conflict there is the stronger he becomes, might be why you got this "aroused" feeling when he was talking, most likely just breathing in the conflict in Diana as well. Until she makes the choice to not kill her.
WOW! That's a first. Wonder Woman was universally well received.
It was but as time went on it kind of became "good for a DC movie". I think it was so well received at the start was because DC had a few stinkers before finally getting a decent one since Man of Steel. But its still not anything great.

I wish I could recommend some great films that were from the 80’s or more recent indie films I think you would love, but probably wouldn’t pull in the audience you’re looking for. Films like Harry and the Hendersons, Batteries Not Included, Weekend at Bernie’s, and even more recent ones like Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, Garden State, or Book of Love. I could go on forever, but o guess I’m just wasting my breath at this point. Maybe if any of you read this and agree with my general taste, you can help me get those films in her line of sight. Have a great weekend everyone!!!
This one is actually one of my favorites, I really liked Gal as WW and i think the first movie was very good! the chemistry between gal and chris was nice as well but ofc i enjoyed natalie's reaction even if she didn't liked much :)
Yes, a genuinely thrilling super hero movie. "Marvel gives their actors more leeway" ... try telling that to Ed Norton who was kicked out as The Hulk for not sticking to the cookie cutter Marvel movie universe. They also kicked brilliant Edgar Wright (of Shaun of the Dead fame) off directing Ant-Man because he wanted to be creative, and instead got a generic comedy director to make that movie. DC universe movies are much darker than the original comic books and unlike The Black Panther, The Dark Knight genuinely deserved a best movie Oscar nomination as it's considered the best comic book movie.
If this was disappointing, you will be devastated with its sequel 🤣
Ares is the god of war in the mythology. Diana was created by her mother out of clay and Zeus, the father of all gods AND thunder, breathed life into her, that is Wonder Woman's story.
I love this movie a lot! It's a lot of fun, silly and pretty damn good. Like most people already said most people don't care for the WW 1984. Unfortunately the 3rd movie got cancelled so no real resolution in the Wonder Woman story but hopefully they can keep Gal and find good story to finish it.
Haven't watched yet, but if you didn't cry during the crossing of No Man's Land, I'm calling it - you've been Body Snatched.
Re shooting in the leg: on one hand, a few of the (CGI) bullets do bounce off her armored wedges. On the other hand, WW in the comics tends to be a lot more resistant to damage than bullets would cause, so she doesn't really need to deflect things. She just does it for style points. {g}
You can imagine a bunch of guys shooting at her and one of them actually manages to get a shot past her defenses:
"Ha, I did it, I did it, I shot her!"
WW doesn't even flinch.
"Oh, right. God."
@@senhowler "Fools! She's technically capable of killing SUPERMAN! What did you even think you were doing?!"
There's a meme of her and Superman getting shot at. He sees her deflecting bullets and asks why she bothers since she's essentially bulletproof. Look it up for the answer.
@@darevsool9148 I'll spoil it: the bullets that actually hit her are starting to disintegrate her armor/clothing, leaving her almost naked. That's why she deflects them.
@@ghostofyourmom Ha, nice.
I´ve seen the same kind of situation, but can´t remember where it´s from. There the answer was that they were deflecting the bullets in a safe direction, instead of them just randomly bouncing off (and possibly hitting people).
disappointing? what? This is how a female superhero should be portrayed. it is a fantastic movie
General Ludendorf was a real person. In fact, the Remagen railroda Bridge was named after him (q.v. "The Bridge at Remagen" from 1969)
Not sure if you're going to see this, but I noticed your dogs licking their paws quite a bit in the background. My dog does this too in winter and it can cause a fungus infection, so if you didn't know you should try and keep them from doing it. It also helps to make sure their paws are 100% dry after a walk. 😊🐶
😱 Cannot believe you didn't like this movie. One of my favorites in DC.
Saying my favourite DC movie is like saying my favourite ingrown toenail.
@@andrewgrant6516 DC movies include the Dark Knight mind you
@@andrewgrant6516 joker, the dark knight and the batman are better than 99% of the mcu, but the dceu is horrible
@@andrewgrant6516 says the guy with the iron man profile pic. Can’t argue with a guy who likes the MCU 😂
wow, really? this was and is so beloved and actually gave me hope for DC`s future. the sequel is campy but that would not be a word id ever use for this one. i remember so many people tearing up in the theatre with how refreshing this movie was when it came out
Makes sense cos the current social fad at the time was 'me too' etc ... And this made sure to hit all the boxes and themes for that particular social fad
A lot of it is campy, plus the ending didn't work for a lot of people. If the point had been that it wasn't Ares causing wars, just humanity, it would've worked better for me. Having it end up actually be a big bad guy causing everything and having a big fight about it was a bit nonsensical. For me the film was almost good, but I need a films ending to be good for me to like the whole product, so the film missed for me, and a lot of people felt the same. Still has enjoyable parts though.
Other than the character being female I honestly can't see what's refreshing about this. It's mostly a rehash of the first Cap and Thor movies and the villains are laughably bad. The two humans are literally cackling maniacally and somehow the Greek god of war looks like an older British gentleman even in his true form and his superpower seems to be generic dialogue.
I thought this movie was one of the best DC movies, with the genuinely iconic no man's land scene. The second WW movie though, that was a train wreck in just about every way possible.
One thing you might not have noticed is that the character of Etta, who you've enjoyed so much, is played by the actress who, when a bit younger and slimmer, played the female "best friend" character in Shaun of the Dead." Her name is Lucy Davis.
disappointing????!!!
“Why aren’t they shooting her legs??” They are, but they’re hitting her shin which is armored. Literally as she is complaining Diane is crouched with her knee bent so the armored part is in front and the shield just above her knee protecting her upper body.
exactly...
Yeah, I hate stuff like that where they really don’t actually watch the movie and make up something to complain about. We’re here to watch your honest reaction. You don’t have to force comedy by not watching.
not that it would matter much if they DID shoot her legs... she's pretty much invulnerable to bullets I'm pretty sure... she just like... you know... doesn't realize how powerful she actually is at this juncture of the film.
Yeah she’s not very smart, can’t even understand what’s right infront of her 😂
@@lenajohnson6179 yeah, that's also true, In the Snyder Cut we see her shield the children with her back, her skin is definitely bullet proof...
I did really enjoy this movie quite a bit when it came out. Diana's idealism was a refreshing bit of hope & optimism in the oft-dismal DCEU, especially since those qualities are usually associated with Superman & he definitely didn't seem to embody them at the time.
A detail that I thought was clever on the part of the writers: Ares is essentially responsible for creating the Armistice & the terms of ending the war. But the Armistice ended up putting crushing demands on the losers, Germany in particular, so that it gave rise to a fierce nationalism in their politics that...well, you probably know how Germany turned out after that. In this movie, Ares claims that he no longer has any direct power to cause war, but I thought this detail showed that he was still very capable of creating/sowing conflict, even through peace. Of course, the final CGI fight kind of undermined the more cerebral take on the causes of conflict, but up till then (& even with his surprise reveal near the end) I thought it was rather well-done.
Wow, for the first time I totally disagree with you. While DC is basically horrible translating their heroes to film, I feel this is the only film that lived up to the character. I've been a comic collector since 1960, so I grew up with these characters and DC was my first universe. I think the difference is that DC was historically stuck in the "kids" approach, black & white characters ... good or evil and zero shades of grey. Stan Lee brought shades of grey, brought realism to super-heroes, and Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko placed a huge part in that. Previously, only Bill Finger and Gardner Fox did that with DC. I place this Wonder Woman film third in rankings of great comic films, behind Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: The First Avenger. All three were historic in story, based on the two World Wars, and I appreciated the WWI references in Wonder Woman. I won't bash you or anybody for the opinion, since everybody is totally entitled to it, but I found it sad that you didn't see in it what I did. Still love you, Nat!
If you think this is bad wait till you see the second one 💀
Wow I didn’t realise the actress that played Alicent Hightower in House of Dragons was the same actress that played young Diana until I watched your video. I really loved this film. Chris Pine was the heart of it. I’m not normally very emotional but the scene at the end where he talks to Diana with the sound dubbed out had me in bits.
Oh and shout out to James Gunn’s Suicide Squad and Peacemaker. Hilarious.
I would've preferred a more Greek hoplite style costume for a live-action Wonder Woman, like an Athenian linothorax, tassets, greaves, and vambraces. There could've been a thematic contrast with Diana in Athenian Greek armor and Ares forming a blackened steel Spartan breastplate for the final battle, like a thematic reference to the Peloponnesian War.
When you mentioned Aries being a fire sign I wondered whether you were confusing the astrological Aries the Ram with Ares the Greek god of war. It's the latter that is in the movie (watch Xena for another characterization of Ares).
It was a joke. Didn't you catch the smirk and waving of her hand after she said it?
I remember watching this movie on theaters back in 2017 and really enjoying my time up until the third act kicks in. The movie definitely has a tonal issue where it's trying to balance the more campy comic book style with a more epic and heroic style, to the point where you can pick the scene when she's trying on clothes and the no man's land scene and hardly believe that they're both from the same movie.
That being said tho I remember being in the theater during the no man's land scene and being absolutely moved by it, I still think to this day that scene is peak heroism in superhero movies. It really showcase the strenghts of DC heroes, the combination of the raw power to face an army with the humility to do it for the people.
Plus, the cinematography is really well excecuted, the way it builds up the tension and the constantly more and more desperate situation, the close ups of WW's distinct features before revealing her iconic figure, a good use of slow motion to accentuate how DIana percieves the world, a really strong soundtrack and a really good camera work, with some shots that feel like comic book panels.
The third act is complete bonkers. It really fills like they wanted a final CGI fight and had to shoehorn one for the sake of it. And they really couldn't make it make sense with the theme that the movie was building up to.
At least the camera respected the female actors. No butt or boob shots.
Yeah, this is a great movie until the start of the third act. I mean, it's not fancy schmancy "high cinemah" but it's good fun, well shot with good performances.
After Man of Steel and Batman V. Superman, this was like a ray of sunshine for the future of DC at the time. Too bad it didn’t last long.
I thought this one was really good. The villain was pretty weak, but it has two great main characters and a love story I was invested in. And Hans Zimmer's music. If you didn't like this you're gonna hate the second one.
The fact that you liked Man Of Steel more than Wonder Woman makes me curious to see your reaction to Batman V. Superman now.
I agree this was much better than man of steel
because she listens to other people, obviously she won't do BvS which is better than any Hamada produced movie
I loved this Wonder Woman movie. I had a lot of issues with 1984.
I didn't think that Gal Gadot was a very good actress and the ending of the movie was clumsy, tacked-on, and uninteresting, but otherwise, I felt the whole thing was fairly good. It didn't really stick with me though, but a lot of that might come down to me just being burned out on superheroes. I would never hold it up as a model of greatness, but it significantly exceeded my expectations, and it's by no means scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to superhero movies.
One thing MCU has that doesn't is continuity. The MCU recast a couple characters, but they're all part of one big story. Since Iton Man, we've had three distinct Batmen alone. Plus the DC TV universe.
Shazam! Is an awesome movie that depicts the DC Captain Marvel character or as he is now known as Shazam in a good way. They changed his name because of rights issues. First he was called Captain Marvel. DC bought the rights from Faucet comics because the character was similar to Superman. Then Marvel bought the rights to the name, Captain Marvel, and that forced DC to change the name to Shazam.
Can't speak to her boots, but the rest of her armor was actually fairly period accurate to ancient Greek armor, even that worn by men, while keeping the design reminiscent of her comic book look.
I can’t believe you didn’t cry during the Steve Trevor death scene and Diana’s “it’s about love” speech
I’m an old retired Marine and that whole finale still gets me EVERY time
Why does it matter that you're a retired marine lol?
