    Critics merely follow trends. And the hippest thing to do right now is to praise everything Disney/Marvel and bash everything WB/DC. Heaven forbid a critic give a DC movie an excellent review and lose all credibility in the eyes of rabid extremists.

      Ah but it is also very hip right now to support the most PC stance.

        Dont care. After the praise they gave The Force Awakens i stopped taking them seriously. The only opinion that matters is my own.

          The critics got even worse when they were praising Ghost Busters. I always check fan rating on Metacritic and Rotten tomatoes rather than critic ratings. The critics are far out of touch.

            I agree. Yet, Dr. Strange got excellent reviews on RT and let's just say it was a bitter disappointment along with the many others that got a good score on RT. If WW gets the same kind of response, I will be worried.

                Critics have hated female superhero movies before.

                  Whatever this imagined bias people think critics have against the DCEU, isn't there. They aren't following a trend, other than the correlation between bad movies and bad critic scores. BvS and SS were bad movies, hence the bad scores.
                  Critics seem to have been giving all DCEU movies ridiculously low scores
                  Not really. They both got critic scores in the 40's (which I thought was generous for SS).
                  critics also seem to give films promoting feminism quite a high score (Ghostbusters)
                  Mona Lisa Smiles, Legally Blonde, She's the Man. They all promote feminism, they all have low scores. As for Ghostbusters, this is a circumstance where I disagree with the critics, but even then, I wouldn't call a 60 a high score.
                  So critics will love WW if its good. They'll hate it if its bad. They'll give it an average score if its average. Pretty cut and dry.

                    Point 1, yes because the movies are not good. Point 2, GBs had nothing to do with promoting feminism. Get your head outta your arse.

                      Replacing four male leads with four female leads AND replacing a female secretary with a male secretary. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but if you don't think that is anything to do with feminism, you're the one who needs to extract their head from something

                          Does it matter if it still makes money?

                            It does matter to Warner Bros., to some extent.

                              I have a weird view on this.
                              I think if the movie turns out to be good, say 7/10 or more, the critics will praise the hell out of it, overrating it as if it were a Marvel movie.
                              However, if the film kinda sucks - 4/10, say - the critics will be extra harsh and make out it's as bad as Catwoman.
                              The point being, I think they're generally gonna choose a side and be overly emphatic with any views they express. I doubt this will be an 'it was okay, or fairly good' kind of movie.

                                It depends primarily on whether it's a good movie or not. There may be some bias with regard to Wonder Woman being a feminist icon, but that's about it. I certainly think critics want and hope that this will be good, but won't shy away too much from giving low scores if it's not.
