Uh-Oh, Wonder Woman Is Being Called A "Discombobulated Mess"
"It's discombobulated, it doesn't have narrative flow. It's just very disjointed."
If you were a cynic, you could be forgiven for imagining that there might be something of a vendetta against Wonder Woman. Or at the very least a barely repressed desire from some quarters to see it crash and burn. Even before we'd really seen the first trailer, an "insider" called it a mess, prompting the director to respond publicly, and now it's happening all over again.
Despite how promising the film looks - and the trailers really do have a lot of promise in there, despite the abundance of unnecessary slow motion - it is being reported (by Schmoes Know, so take it with a whole barrel of salt), that the film is a mess. To add credence to their claim, they're saying that the same person told them Batman v Superman was also a mess before it came out. Shooting fish, some might say...
Anyway, here's the quote:
"So, I don't want to throw anyone under the bus. We have somebody within our community who has gotten insider information that broke my effing heart this week, because I have tremendous belief that Wonder Woman is gonna be awesome and I heard it stinks from the same person who told me that they heard that BvS stinks...The person who I spoke to...their response was 'I'm very disappointed in what I saw, and it seems like all the problems are the same problems. It's discombobulated, it doesn't have narrative flow. It's just very disjointed."
Uh-oh, that doesn't exactly sound very promising, now does it? The film has been finished for a long time and has been conspicuously absent of any of the public tinkering talk that dogged the Suicide Squad marketing campaign - which either suggests Warner Bros are happy with it being a mess, or that it genuinely has nothing wrong with it.
Let's hope it's the second one, because if this film is problematic, the DCEU is going to be in serious peril by the time Justice League comes round. And there are only so many times anyone can say that THIS is the film that really launches the shared universe. Fingers firmly crossed.
