"You can't sell a movie with an abysmal actor in the lead role."
The bank accounts of Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Steven Seagal, Jason Statham and countless others scream otherwise.
Great action stars. No one is asking them to throw up a gone with the wind performance. Gal Gadot is perfect for the role of WW just like those guys were greatly suited for the action roles. You don’t hire a fat man who can act the shit out of any role in an action film because it would look ridiculous.
In terms of good acting, Chris Pine carried the film along. Thats why they are bringing him back for the sequel.
And Patty Jenkins herself said she never would have chosen Gadot. That said Jenkins did manage to get an acceptable performance out of her. Something Snyder couldnt do.

While I still don't get the salt behind Gal Gadot being Wonder Woman at this point, I do agree that there are other actresses that could have fit the role better.
I also agree that Gadot isn't strong enough of an actress to carry a movie on her own but I'm not entirely sure bringing Chris Pine back was the best solution to that. Well Patty Jenkins has proven herself and I genuinely enjoyed WW and look forward to the sequel
Now this Aquaman movie really needs to hit it out the park with the trailer as Mamoa-man has been pretty forgettable so far.
Edit: Forgot this was the Shazam thread but I stand by my position.
WW was the best thing about Batman v. Superman. I said this right after the film. Granted she isn’t in it much but she definitely stole the spotlight hero wise from the film.
WW might have been. But Gadots little bits of dialogue in that were executed terribly. Dont think she had a line in the whole Doomsday fight. She was just there to look good.
because Gadot was awesome in her movie as Wonder Woman. You can argue a better actress could do a better job, but Gadot has set the bar really ****ing high imo.
No idea what Oscar performance you saw. I just saw Pine and Jenkins carrying Gadot along to make her performance tolerable, after she was terrible in BvS.
^^^no its fair at all.
This and the Captain Marvel threads are just these huge bitchfests w. ppl who dont seem to know how to just enjoy a movie, or failing that, have the common courtesy to stay out of a discussion theyve already made their point on, so as to not suck the fun out of it for those who actually want to discuss the movies in a positive manner.
I don't mind differing opinions; I even try to see things from other people's perspectives. Sometimes I'm just not capable of it though, like in this case.
There’s a difference between differing opinions and continuous bitching, though.
Case in point, me in the Black Panther movie thread.
After a half dozen posts, i sat back and said to myself,
‘I have absolutely nothing positive to contribute to this discussion, nor do i -want- to. Any further participation will just be ego on my part, and i’ll just be actively trying to bait ppl into arguing so i can complain more.’
So, i dropped out of the conversation, and never went back in the thread.
Why ruin it for everyone else?
The ppl i complained about in the previous post are doing just what i would have been doing in that thread if i’d stayed.
What you see as bitching might be cathartic venting to other people, though. If you're bitching for bitching's sake, sure, you shouldn't be doing that, but complaints are just as valid a kind of feedback as compliments.
I mean, you could easily argue that believing yourself as being able to spoil a person's enjoyment of a movie, or ruin their experience, is a kind of self-serving, ego-related argument.
I disagree. She did have dialogue and it fit her character. What the hell arr you expecting from WW? The guy who phoned in his performance is Affleck. The dude couldn’t even keep in shape for the reshoots. This is the guy you were crazy over when he was just generic as Batman even at his best.
It’s also how dc rolls not roles, nitwit. You are not a bright person.
