King Mark 3,626 Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 So the main actor in King Arthur , Charlie Hunnam...I kept wondering who he was and thought I had seen him recently in another movie...and I did...he was in Lost City of Z. Why does this unknown actor have 2 movies coming out at once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he is to me like a less well-known Channing Tatum. They both look a little alike. Names even rhyme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 452 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Wonder Woman (2017) Director Patty Jenkins nailed it. Gal Gadot actually goes through a wide gamut of emotions convincingly, and Jenkins utilizes Gadot's natural charisma for all its worth. The chemistry between Diana and Chris Pine's Steve Trevor is winning and naturally developed through the course of the film. The humor is naturally integrated into the narrative too, so while the real-life setting is grim, the humor doesn't undercut the stakes like Avengers: Age of Ultron or Doctor Strange. The first two-thirds of the movie are very strong, and while the final third is problematic -- I have no qualms recommending the movie. Rupert Gregson-Williams' score was serviceable but could've been so much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Two thumbs up for Wonder Woman! Great fun. Gadot and Pine are both really good. The big mid film action sequence is the highlight but the whole movie is really well paced. Good movie for a warm summer evening. The score is mostly dull as dishwater, punctuated at key moments with Zimmer's theme like an electric shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the jokes (you did say it's fun)? I didn't see BvS or Suicide Squad so I can't speak to specific differences but it does indeed have many lighthearted moments, mostly stemming from the "fish out of water" scenario of it being Diana's first time leaving the island of the Amazons. But I also thought it tackled its themes well (for a light Summer blockbuster). It asks some real questions about the nature of humans, namely our capacity for incredible cruelty and great sacrifice (making WWI a perfect backdrop). Nothing new, but taken seriously. 7 hours ago, Godzilla said: I thought Junkie XL wrote that theme. This is possible. I didn't see BvS and only listened to the OST once.

Sweeping Strings 2,346 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I intend to go tomorrow, and the lighter touch is something I'm looking forward to.

Dixon Hill 4,233 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Wonder Woman was good. The kids liked it too, was not too intense, for them at least. I dug the classic 90s RCP vibe from Rupert at first, but it did stay a little flat throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeping Strings 2,346 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Wonder Woman - overlong at 2 hrs 20 and also lighter on action than I would've liked. That said, it's a good deal less gloomy than the recent takes on DC's other 'big hitters' Superman and Batman and in the title role Gal Gadot both kicks ass and looks great doing it.

Bilbo 3,709 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Wonder Woman it takes awhile to get going. The bit on the island was poor and I thought Robin Wright was bad or miscast. I was regretting parting with my money until Pine showed up. Once they hit London it really gets going. It's like a less boring version of the first Captain America film. WWI is refreshing as you see it on screen a lot less. the final battle is a little OTT and cliched but the midway action sequence is excellent. Gadot and Pine have great chemistry. They're very funny together. Gadot does a fantastic job. She looks the part but her acting is spot on throughout. A really solod 3/5. Maybe even 3.5/5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Agreed about the final bit being overblown, but that midfilm battle though, it's one of the best action sequences of the last few years. Bilbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
