First WONDER WOMAN Reactions On Twitter Are Positive But The Embargo Lifts Last Minute
A handful of reactions to Wonder Woman have surfaced, and while they seemingly give us reason to be excited, we're also left with a fair few different reasons to be pretty worried as well...
Wonder Woman was screened to critics for the first time earlier this week, but everyone is under a strict embargo not to share so much as a single thought on the movie. However, some have inevitably broken that rule as you can see below. First up is Bustle's Anna Klassen, a female editor clearly appreciative of what Patty Jenkins brought to the table in the Amazon warrior's big screen solo outing.
Next up is a reviewer for The Daily Star, someone who's 4* verdict declaring it 2017's best superhero movie has already started popping up on posters. Alas, he also loved last year's Suicide Squad.
A now deleted Tweet from comic book writer Marc Andreyko (Wonder Woman '77) found by our friends over at Geek Feed stated that, "I can't get into specifics but @GalGadot gives a beautiful, nuanced, powerful performance, @PattyJenks is SO GOOD with actors." Well, that sounds good!
Well, the embargo on reviews doesn't lift until the day before Wonder Woman is released overseas, a bad sign for any blockbuster and a possible sign the studio has little faith in it. Alternatively, they could just be worried that the same thing that happened to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will be repeated here and it's worth mentioning that many good movies have had reviews surface late.
