Fiale Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 What a great film. If your into your superheroes, or action films, or your other half enjoys a little romance then this is the film for you. The film has good pacing always moving forward, you never feel that there is wasted screen time. The events unfold with a mix of bonding, story and action but never dwelling to much on one or the other for to long.... the story has to move on. I really enjoyed the film, certainly one of the best DC/Marvel films for a while and probably going to be enjoyed by adults, families, and the other half who is not normally into this kind of thing. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Slightly sexist comments sorry. I'm a girl who likes plenty of films that you might say were "aimed at blokes" Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted June 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Marvel and DC films metrics put them with over 70% male audiences, so I am not sure it is sexist to suggest women tend to not enjoy superhero films as much as men - just a fact. Anyway, this film may convert more to the genre, and has a nice message in relation to humankind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septic Peg Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 I like superhero films. Spesh the Iron Man ones. Robert Downey Jr For what it's worth, DC is rubbish and Marvel Studios makes anything DC brings out look like a skidmark on a new pair of Calvins. I mean the Batman v Superman. Most over-rated film ever. They had a minor ding dong mid film, then made it up almost immediately. Complete shite. At least when Capt America and Iron Man had a barney, it lasted a few films and was quite the battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTFiGO!?! Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I saw it this afternoon and thought it was good in that it was not trying to be too clever. It did a simple thing very well. Let's not deny the fact it had a female director and a female lead and that, incidentally love and nurture were explicitly expressed as the solution to mankind's problems (ok, and quite a bit of violence as a necessity). But that's cool in my eyes! I love love and nurture an I'm a hairy arsed bloke. Anyway.... Sci-Fi in conjunctiure with a horrifically earthly WWI backdrop and the clash of cultures interested me and made for amusing scenarios. I agree with you in that it was not dry, still or unspontanious at any particular time. I've advised my lady friend she may like it I also think that it was classic in its fundamental Hollywood style in an elaboration on a Christian or Biblical message; it did a better job than usual in fact! We are saved not because we deserve to be (collective bunch of w ankers that we are - but we are more than that). We are saved because we are loved.

This is a sexually neutral comment, but it is only my opinion, as others may have a different opinion as to which superhero filled out their outfits better than Ms Carter.

Northamptonshire Red Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Great film. Enjoyed it more than Guardians of the Galaxy 2 even. Felt like a stronger version of Thor and Captain America The First Avenger, mixed together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 I liked it! Getting difficult to keep things fresh with all these super hero films around but that was a pretty good effort. It certainly benefited from having a bright female lead for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Best thing DC have put out since the dark knight, also better than a fair amount of marvel films. Loved the bamboozle over the villain as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted June 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Glad so many enjoyed this film - if it gets the box office sales then hopefully they will build on it's success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Couldn't stand the film. Made me realise I'm truly done with superhero movies. Logan, First class and the dark knight trilogy are the only ones to have been enjoyed by me over recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm like you though, I don't really care for them but actually found this one quite good. Have you seen Baywatch yet, Fiale? I'm looking forward to Churchill and the one about Dunkirk.

I used to be Efron's biggest fan and it looks hilarious but it's not the kind of film I go to see in the cinema. I want to see the red turtle and maybe baby driver. There's a film festival in London all about car movies and I'd like to see "drive" on the big screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch all films as I have a unlimited card, I did see Baywatch but don't think it's worth the time to even create a thread... it would have been 5/10 territory for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
