Now and then you'll have to kiss Rotten Tomato's arse to get your info.

Do other websites/reviewers have any power over that? They obviously rely a ton on RT for views/clicks, but no way they can stop another site from linking and quoting them right? That doesn't exactly fall under plagiarism or content laws?

While I thought Wonder Woman was a decent film, I felt like it suffered from many of the same problems the other DCEU films did. Perhaps all the positive press/hype surrounding the film had more to do with the fact that, for the first time, a major female comic book icon was being brought to the big screen in her own movie?

Wonder Woman was well liked here b/c regardless of the mistakes it made as a film it clearly was made by a director who understands the character and cares about being fairly true to the spirit of the source material.

Snyder's movies get hated on b/c he only seems to care about making things look cool with explosions and slo mo and making the characters dark and gritty and miserable. He either doesn't understand or doesn't give a flip about the source material.

This is a problem when you are making a film for an audience that has preconceived notions about how characters should be portrayed. If Snyder had the ability to tell a coherent original story his interpretations might be more well received. But for whatever reason if he isn't essentially using a graphic novel as his storyboard he can't do it.
