Let me just get this out of the way: based on the reviews I’ve seen already, I expect Wonder Woman to be watching a fun, good superhero popcorn movie with good chemistry between the leads. And that’s all that the movie is obliged to be. [X]%* of all the other stuff is nice and everything, but the goal here is to keep people from regretting that they put down money to watch the movie. If they don’t regret it, then it could be as stupid as, I dunno, Spaceballs or something and it’d still be OK.
But from what I hear, it’s not stupid, and it won’t suck. I’ll still do the Geek’s Prayer, though. Just to be on the safe side.

*The number ain’t 0% (there’s no reason why we couldn’t have had a good Wonder Woman movie before this) and the number ain’t 100% (some people are treating this film like it’s the Messiah); pick whatever percentage that you like.
I was leery about the initial reviews, because I expected a number of them to be gushy because of non-entertainment factors beyond the scope of this blog. That said, I’m pleasantly surprised by the word of mouth from actual superhero fans, so if it’s still playing in theaters when our house closes in 2 weeks, I’ll see it then.
I’ve heard it compared to the first Captain America film. Sounds about right.
Yeah. And I thought the first Captain America film was awesome, too, so that makes sense to me.
