I have no doubts that i will like this movie. But I agree that there is likely a "Ghostbusters" effect going on here, where people are reviewing it better because the lead is a woman. "But what about Ghost in the Shell, or some other recent female action movie?" you might say. Well, heres the thing, Wonder Woman is THE female superhero, it has a pedigree. Ghostbusters also had a pedigree, it isnt a property that is new or has no prexisting pop culture standing (western).
That being said, this is perfectly ok in the realm of rotten tomatoes. The whole point is if the movie is fresh, not its overall critical rank in comparison to other movies. And guess what? A major superhero movie with a female lead is pretty damn fresh.
Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda!!!!
