Wonder Woman Twitter Reviews Are In, And It’s Good News
DC movies don’t struggle at the box office, but they’re not exactly rewatchable material. I can watch plenty of Marvel movies on a lazy day. But DC stuff? I’m only tuning in for the last 30 minutes of Batman v Superman. Even then, I’m still shaking my head at the whole ‘Martha’ thing.
Wonder Woman is DC’s next attempt at giving us a good movie. I’m not asking for the perfect film. If it’s half-way decent, I’ll still enjoy it. And there’s good news on that front. Critics are starting to give their reactions to Wonder Woman, and just about all of them are positive. Full reviews are still under embargo, but Warner Bros. is letting press give non-spoiler reactions to the film. Let’s take a look at some of them.
#WonderWoman is hands down the best DCEU Film to date! Film is SO GOOD. I absolutely loved it! Bravo @PattyJenks @GalGadot @GeoffJohns 👏🏽⚔️

#WonderWoman is the best DCEU film so far. The heart of Gal Gadot’s Diana powers it, and the shift from mythic into WWI story really works.

Loved WONDER WOMAN. She reminds me of Christopher Reeve’s Superman: true north superhero w/ no angst or cynicism, which is needed right now.

WONDER WOMAN: Easily my favorite DCEU film. Has the humor and heart the franchise so desperately needs. Gadot and Pine are charming as hell.

Wonder Woman is the DC movie I’ve been waiting for. It’s exciting, inspiring, funny, and has some truly awe-inspiring action scenes.

Best part of ‘Wonder Woman’ is the film has really funny parts and an optimistic and heroic protagonist. Great step forward for DC Films. pic.twitter.com/pAwm8j6y34

@WonderWomanFilm is everything you want in a #WonderWoman movie & more. It’s the film even DCU critics will love.

1. Hokay, here we go. #WonderWoman social media embargo just lifted. My thoughts: DC is absolutely on the right track here.

3. Rough parts? Sure. But guys, guys, YOU GUYS! You’ll truly LAUGH. And you’ll walk out, for once, feeling downright inspired by a DC movie.

I know, I know. We’ve never seen positive Twitter reactions before. Still, it’s a DC movie. It would be easy enough to pan in the wake of BvS and Suicide Squad. Plus, these are critics. They would have no problem telling it like it is if the movie was garbage. I was cautiously optimistic before today. Now, I can’t wait to hear that electric cello sound off and watch Wonder Woman kick some ass.
Oh and Warner Bros., take whatever makes Wonder Woman a seemingly solid superhero film and infuse it into Justice League.
Twitter reactions are all we’re going to get until the review embargo lifts on May 31. That is a little close to release date, but I believe it’s standard practice for Warner Bros. We don’t see full reviews weeks in advance. Keep an eye on your favorite critics to see how they feel about the entire movie. Twitter isn’t exactly the best place for nuanced discussion. Several critics pointed to flaws in the movie but still praised the overall package.
I plan on being there day one. What about you?
