Hey Everyone! How's it going? I just saw Wonder Woman and I got back and thought, "Man!
we gots to another review! What's this you say? Two reviews? So close together?
That's not normal! What happened to you? Didn't you used to
make how it should have ended videos?
I've been making how it should have ended videos for 12 years actually...
I haven't stopped now.
but anyway I'll update you on that
stuff at the end, because it's a ladies first homey! And you're not here to
listen let me talk about my stuff you want to talk about Wonder Woman.
so what do you say?
Let's get to it!
WONDERWOmaaaAAAAAAAN!
She's gonna punch the violence out of you!
Wonder WOOOMAAAAAAAAAN!
and Captain Kirk is her new boo...
all right
Wonder Woman! The movie we were all looking forward to but also expected to
self-implode and burst into flames and squeal a depressing embarrassing death
because we had crossed our arms long ago with all this previous Wonder Woman
silly business and started to lose faith in this character ever having her own
movie is finally here! And guess what?
It is awesome actually
DC finally delivers the Wonder Woman you've been hoping for
directed by Patty Jenkins and written by these three dudes... huh
It is so good, you guys.
It hits so many important beats. If you wanted a timeless origin story
You got it.
If you wanted something that makes you excited for Wonder Woman in the Justice League...
You got it.
If you wanted a strong female role model for the world to look up to...
You Got It!
If you wanted awesome sweet action sequences...
You Got It!
If you wanted a movie that has a great message...
This is almost a perfect superhero film and I hesitate
saying the word almost only because even though I really appreciated everything
that was said and done this film there are some things at the end that I would
just wanted a little bit more but coming from a guy that makes how it should have
ended videos for living I doubt that comes as much of a surprise so my short
review is guess what go check it out Wonder Woman is classic and beautiful and awesome!
Gal Gadot...
Is that how you saying?
that's what I said!
she completely has my vote and honestly I didn't think I would
like her when she was first cast I thought yeah I mean she's hot and she
kind of looks like Wonder Woman but she's so skinny! I mean shouldn't
Wonder Woman like have... muscle tone?
like an Amazon? and Gal G adot shows up in this
movie and she's like "Sit Down! You don't know me!" Kaplow! there's all this cool fight
choreography and she straight puts me in my place. she's awesome.
Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman has arrived
and she has raised the bar that the rest of the Justice League
will have to live up to in my opinion because in all honesty Wonder Woman is
good enough that it doesn't need the Justice League tie in. The tie in is there
but there wasn't an overly obvious handoff to the Justice League and I
really like that. There isn't an after credit scene. Warner Brothers is like,
She don't need no stinking after credit scene!
So my quick review is: I enjoyed it! Go check it out!
But if you want to talk more details then lets talk spoilers.
I can't believe Chris Pine becomes Green Lantern at the end!
How awesome was that?! I'm kidding that doesn't happen sorry
Wonder Woman becomes Green Lantern. I'm kidding! she dies...
No that's... okay whatever. spoilers ahead people
what do you think of the backstory?
I enjoyed it duh. Little Diana's growing up on Themyscira all cute
with a desire to punch things. she's surrounded by all these strong female
warriors. Her Mother's like, "no Diana you will not be a fighter it's too dangerous!"
and then immediately whispers into her sister's ear, "Train her harder
than anyone has ever been trained before ever!"
And her sister's like "Aw yeah this is Sparta!"
Kaplow! I thought that was cool and it really sets up who diana is and where
she comes from very well.
what do you think about Chris Pine?
I thought he was a good choice for Steve Trevor. I thought him speaking in a German accent was kind of weird.
But he has a lot of funny parts I love how they portrayed the lasso of
truth being painful to resist. He's Diana's tour guide to the outside
world in a way so they share a lot of funny bits but on the non comical side
I thought they developed the relationship with him and diana pretty
well. Their relationship moves kind of fast but most movie relationships do
what do you think about the supporting cast?
there are a lot of sidekick characters
in this movie they often act only as comic relief like Steve Trevor's
secretary but there's also his team of war misfits? Is that's the proper
description? war misfits? that's what they feel like. they all have struggles and
accepted their current way of life but Diana sort of gives each one of them a
sense of purpose which is pretty cool Wonder Woman encourages everyone she
talked to do even the ice cream guy! You should be so proud! I liked that joke a lot.
What did you think about the villians?
so there's like two evils at play in this movie which made it interesting.
the evil of humanity that Steve Trevor is
fighting is represented by the Germans with doctor poison and Ludendorff while
Wonder Woman is looking to defeat an even bigger evil the God of War Ares
she believes wholeheartedly that she can end all war by killing him and this adds
a really interesting dynamic when she has to face the idea that all mankind
is ultimately flawed. O f the three big villains I'd say that Ares was the most
disappointing and I'd even question if the casting of that role was the right choice.
While David Thewlis does sinister pretty
well... he doesn't really come off as "godlike" to me
and it was really tough to buy him in the role of Arres once the final battle
got underway even with all the fake armor and muscles to me he was far more
effective as the ghost-like figure that Diana couldn't reach through the window
but he transforms into this Lord of the Rings looking armor and it turns into
the usual who can hit each other the hardest fight sequence. In a lot of ways
the climactic battle scene was the least impressive part to me but it had its merits.
Wonder Woman had to come to terms with
the idea that humans might not always deserve to be saved which was driven
home when she stared down dr. Poison at our most vulnerable. Maybe we don't
deserve to be saved but Wonder Woman believes that we should be saved.
One of the scenes from the climax I found most interesting was Steve's goodbye moment
with Diana where you can't hear what's being said. He gets on the plane and
sacrifices themselves to stop the gas from reaching its target but that's not
the interesting part. What's interesting is we don't know the words that were
actually said because the sound is dampened from the explosion blast.
then when diana is fighting Arres she thinks of the goodbyes a second time
only this time we actually hear the words they are saying. And the words are her
screaming "I can do it! Whatever it is I can do it!" and he says" no I can save today"
"You can save the world! I love you you!"
You are meant to think this is what actually
was said in that scene. But I think really she never heard the real words
and the dialogue we hear is what she believes was said.
Diana says a couple times in the movie
"what matters is what you believe"
and she believes that love is the answer.
And that's what gives her the strength to fight on. And I kind of think
that's the point. Honestly more than anything this movie worked so well
because they really got the character of Wonder Woman so right.
she's the perfect amount of good and passion and power
that we've always wanted to see so even
with a cheesy line here and there,
Wonder Woman completely sells the rest of this movie
A nd her moral compass is exactly what we want to see in ourselves and in
every human. so seeing someone with such strength and
conviction is inspiring! And that was the point. Steve tells her in the film
you can do nothing or something and I've already tried nothing.
there are several scenes in this film where often people are choosing to do nothing when the
world is at war and in despair I don't think Diana has ever tried nothing she
was created with the desire to do something from the very beginning even
when she was a little girl she was determined.
and that speaks to an audience that has witnessed a lot of hurt in the real world right now.
We desperately want a hero that wants to do something about it and we'll lead the charge
she isn't reluctant she's unwavering she
points out what is broken and immediately goes to fix it. I think this
movie works so well because deep down
we all want Wonder Woman to be real.
And isn't that what a superhero movie is supposed to be all about?
ok those are my thoughts on Wonder Woman as always I hope you enjoyed them and I hope you
enjoyed the film as well. Please let me know what you thought of the movie in
the comments below cuz I love getting to read what your favorite parts were as
for other how it should have ended news if you're curious about what's
going on in my world. I'm going to be a daddy! Which is really weird to say out loud.
so I guess I'll just say, "I'm Mary Poppins y'all!"
So that's kind of a big deal for me right now
but if that news doesn't excite you in the least you might be more interested in knowing
about these other little babies we've
been making for you as well lego batman, moana, kong. so those are
coming out real soon hope you will enjoy them those were also in development
before guardians of galaxy hit theaters in case you were curious about that the
guardians is also obviously on the list too and I already know what I want to
make with Wonder Woman so just toss that on the list as well.
But I do apologize that things have been a bit slow by our usual standards I know you
guys have been waiting for knew how it should have ended but I've got to put
family first and animation is a slow process so sometimes
things got to take a little time. I hope you guys understand.
alright that's all for now
