I think there is an ocean of difference between the acting ability of Christopher Reeve and Gal Gadot. I agree that Christopher Reeve is not in the pantheon of all-time great actors, but he had extensive stage experience and went to Julliard before he played Superman. You can play a slightly innocent super hero with

Casting physically attractive people, as opposed to actors, is one of the problems with the super hero genre of films. But I think Gal Gadot takes it to a new low.

Yeah, she was cast for her acting ability, not her beauty. Definitely my bad.

Yep.

Then why does her body language in Wonder Woman look like a bikini model posing for the camera, as opposed to an actual warrior? Seriously, look at the way she places her arms and arches her back in some of the fight scenes (not where it's her stunt double in a long shot). She looks like she's posing for the cover of

I think she stayed in the ingenue place for most of the film. I'm okay with a fish out of water storyline, but not with someone who is this one-note in their acting ability.

Yeah, 4 Academy Award nominations, but Jennifer's definitely not in the acting stratosphere that is Gal Gadot.

Oh, she might have been a great stunt double - but not the fucking lead actress!

It wasn't that it was a close but not quite good enough film - it was fucking awful!

Yeah, I can't blame Patty for taking this project (after 13 years of not getting a break) and I'm glad it did well for her sake, but it's a pretty awful film. So-so by super hero standards, but really pretty shitty when it comes to gender.

For anyone who hasn't seen it yet because they were concerned it would be another boring, mushy super hero film or because they thought that the likelihood Hollywood would handle gender well is pretty low: you are correct.

…as they reach the beach they look up and see the head of the Statue of Liberty…and 13 apes riding horses.

When I read that he had been in Veep I immediately thought "Please let it be the actor who plays Mike, please!" Sadly it is not.

I wondered who that idiot was in the TV ads…now I know!

"The first rule is that there is no such thing as (turns to camera)…Fight Club!"

It sounds like a perfectly cromulent sandwich, what's the problem?

Based on the trailer it looks like the marketing fits the movie. Maybe some of Chloe's "team" read the script and check amount for her.

FFS, there was a grilled cheese and tomato soup chain on Shark Tank years ago and they were founded in 2009. Just looked them up and they're doing well and have dozens of locations.

Oh…it's not just cherry.

We called it a tornado when I was growing up in Wisconsin in the 70s/80s.
