Hmmm. I see it is on Amazon Prime as a rental for £16! £16! Er, no. If I was to pay £16 I'd want to own a copy of the blooming thing.
Will, er, wait for blu ray. Or a more reasonable rental charge.

I can not recommend paying for it.
But if you must I cant decide if its better to rent so you dont have to own it afterwards or buy it so ...... you will own it... that doesnt sound good.

I just think £16 for a rental is taking the piss. If the cinema was open, even an IMAX ticket is cheaper!

Agreed and I too would not recommend paying for it.

The reviews on Amazon are not particularly favourable either!

There is a plot thread that if genders were swapped people would be up in arms about screaming blue murder.

I'm finding it oddly interesting reading and watching reviews. Some people seem to completely not notice it which I suppose is exactly what the editting and reshoots were hoping for. But how it got as far as test screenings without anyone thinking it might be a bad choice (if thats how it played out) is crazy.
Why they didn't do the couple of extra reshoots needed to actually remove the plot entirely is even more baffling.
Even then it still wouldnt be a good film.

Like I said if it had been a man in that role, the outcry would have been enormous.

Is that because Wednesday starts with a W and so does Wonder Woman?

Saw and liked it. I'm lost as to what was so horrible it should have been removed.
I really appreciate that this is probably the first authentic version of Max Lord we've had since Infinite Crisis. Since then every portrayal of him has been some level of sinister, if not outright monstrous.

{Spoiler}When she wishes Steve Trevor would comeback to life and he does so by possessing the body of some poor random bloke and they have sex.
I'm not believing for a minute if it had been a male hero who had wished his love back to life in similar fashion, there wouldn't have been an absolute furore.

Finally saw WW84. Had been looking forward to it.
It was shite.

Certainly not a patch on the first one. I was disappointed too.

Yeah, the first one was good and improved on rewatching.

Gave up hoping for this to make an appearance in a cinema in Wales and watched it on Blu-ray.
I thought the opening scene was excellent, and I thought the final act was very good, but the middle hour-and-a-half was rather naff. The first WW film was better, though I enjoyed its final act less than that of WW84. The mass wish fulfilment thing just somehow seemed to have more resonance with me than the god of war stuff. Anyway, both are still way above anything featuring Henry Cavill as Superman.
I think I need to give Aquaman a second viewing.

There's something about the fact that the villains weren't evil that resonates. It adds additional stakes in that not only does she need to save the world, she needs to at least try to save them, too. And it adds a tragic aspect if she fails, particularly as the first part of the film sets up how hard she tries to make sure nobody gets hurt in an engagement.

Yeah, the bit with Lord and his son particularly clicked in my opinion.
