Fancyarcher 350 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 11 minutes ago, mstrox said: I typically like Zimmer, and I consider it maybe the "best part" of the Batman v Superman score, but man was it jarring hearing it against the somewhat more restrained-looking trailer for WW. That theme just didn't fit the character very well, as much as I do enjoy it. Wonder Woman's theme (at least to me anyway) should sound a bit more "mythological or epic" sounding, not with an electric cello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It apparently shows up about 3 or 4 times in the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,340 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Wonder Woman: 95% at Rotten Tomatoes: It's a film that not only improves upon many of the seemingly built-in shortcomings of superhero movies, but also mixes smarts, sentiment and adrenaline in the best Hollywood style. It gives us the kind of hero a lot of us fell in love with back in those 12-cent days of truth, justice and the American way - and the kind of movie we haven't seen since Christopher Reeve first flew into our lives. Wonder Woman is smart, slick, and satisfying in all of the ways superhero films ought to be. Gadot was mostly one-dimensional and stoic in her 20 minutes of screen time in Batman v Superman, but here she is lively and exudes a sense of wonder. Praise be, does Wonder Woman ever kick ass. Strong, smart, sexy and downright super, this is the superhero blockbuster of the summer you need to see. What Patty Jenkins is able to do with all of that is ground it in emotion and character, to make audiences smile and walk out of the theater feeling uplifted rather than exhausted. It's the movie we've been waiting for. Trust me. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, Cremers, if RT is to be believed, Wonder Woman is better than Blade Runner. Do you consider that a possibility? The way the internet works is: Does RT reflect your wishes/opinions/thoughts/hopes/dreams/sex fantasies? Then RT is the greatest thing ever and it's word is final. Final I tells ya!!! Does RT conflict with your wishes/opinions/thoughts/hopes/dreams/sex fantasies? Then RT is the worst thing ever and it's word is meaningless! Meaningless I tells ya!!!

Do you want to watch the film? Do you think it could be good? You only need to answer these two questions to decide for yourself if you should watch it or not. End of story. No need to bring up RT ratings, or IMDB ratings, or Twitter reactions or whatever! Sounds like Bilbo Skywalker's second law applies to you.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I don't think critics are especially useful in aggregate. There definitely are specific critics that I've been reading for years who can convince me to see a movie I wouldn't otherwise have seen or in rarer cases warn me off a movie I was only slightly interested in in the first place. No critic has ever kept me from seeing a movie I was determined to see so I could have my own opinion. I generally read critics because I like their writing and I want to see their reaction to something I've already seen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 It just always bothers me when people treat critics like some sort of corrupt, dishonest, amorphous mass. It's a bunch of individuals of many different backgrounds who don't get paid all that much but love writing about movies and are lucky enough to get paid at all for doing it. There's no conspiracy!
