RE: A Geeky Dad's Movie Guide to Wonder Woman.
I went to watch this too. Agree better than Dawn of Justice.
Not as good as I thought but this one is for to bring the lady.
Requires less of understanding of the complication compared to other plots.
Hope I'm not offending anyone mentioning that though I know there are enough of ladies who enjoy and understand all these comic plot things.
This is the best response! You solved the mystery for me. I actually understand the huge gap between my perception and others. I am a total geek. I know the story of Wonder Woman very well. So the entire beginning was very boring for me. That set the tone for the rest of the movie. However, if you didn't know the story very well, the beginning was interesting. So if you were interested in the first 30 minutes, you were in a much better mood than I was for the rest of the movie.
I now see why there are so many positive reviews. For many people, this was all very new and exciting. For me, it was the 100th time I was seeing/reading it.
I still did not like it... but the movie wasn't aimed at me. That explains why my wife enjoyed it more than I did. She likes Wonder Woman but didn't know a great deal about her.
Thank you for this comment!
I don't think you were being offensive at all. In your case it was your significant other who did not know very much about the back story. I am sure there are many men as well who did not know it. I don't think it is a difference based on gender, I think it may be based on previous experience with the character.
There is always a problem comparing the movie against the source of the book or comic in this
The fans always love the original better. :-)
For sure!
