Editing: 63
So long…even with all the support you could give the production it all took so long. Even with your newfound experience and direct aid it still took you nearly a year for the filming to be done. Was this punishment for your previous hubris? How could it be, you were awesome! And yet…
Kevin managed to release another film just before the year ended, with another one to be released on soon.
You can only thank God that it hasn't been Wonder Woman yet.
What you won't thank it's for once more the
BLOODY VFX TEAM TO FUCKING FUCK IT ALL UP AGAIN!!!
When you went to berate them you found the area deserted, as if they knew what was going to happen…cowards, you still know where they live.
The bright aspect of the entire production is the music; upbeat, catchy, and it all just screams "Wonder Man" to you, something unique to the character himself. It's what keeps you going when you see the results of combining it with the fight scenes. A true delight for the senses! The cuts could be a bit better, but they are not bad at all, you'd call them above average.
Protagonists
Ryan Reynolds Screen Presence: 98
Kat Dennings Screen Presence: 71
Romance Chemistry: 63
Ryan Reynolds took advantage of the extra time to perfect his delivery, and improved on the already magnificent material. On movement, expression, and outright acting performance there is no one more suited for the role than him. Simon Williams feels like a true character, with true emotions and problems; now he has to deal with having powers and he does so in the most hilarious way possible, all the while finally understanding that it was not the powers what made him Wonder Man, but himself.
Kat struggled a bit with the role, but once she had it she cut loose and managed to become and endearing part of the ensemble. Focused, sarcastic, rebellious but with a moral code and at many points squabbling with Simon, Darcy Lewis' character is fully fleshed out and fully involved in the film. Heck, her scene where she outwitted the Scarecrow by making him think letting her go was his idea is priceless!
And you have to admit, the relationship between both characters fits the mold of the movie. It's not a full blown romance like Tony and Pepper's, or the passion that is shown in
The Mighty Thor, but it's something more relatable. Everyone can see there is something there, but both of them don't even seem to notice.
Robin Williams Screen Presence: 106
If Ryan and Kat can be considered amazing, then Robin Williams shows why he is a master at the craft! Every expression, every line is perfectly timed and choreographed to bring out the greatest amount of mirth and emotion. He is Simon's agent, but he's clearly something more; the friend that looks after him, the second father he never knew he needed…and of course the agent who's going to make mint out of representing a Superhero!
Protagonist Chemistry: 96
What do you get when you combine three clearly talented comedy actors together? You get some of the best interactions and comedy that you've done in films so far that what! Ryan, Kat and Robin form almost a trinity upon themselves, with Robin once telling you the entire production has been a blast despite the delays. You can see how fond of each other the trio has become, and you can see how it translates into film.
Antagonists
Hayden Christensen Screen Presence: 92
Hayden seemed despondent at the beginning; he had tried so hard to get the lead and had to content himself with the brother's role. For a moment you feared that it would affect the filming. Yet after a small talk with Brendan he suddenly came with a fire in his eyes and an unbreakable determination on him that pushed him to new heights. His scenes are full of poignancy and tragedy in them, which contrasts perfectly with the overall goofy and fun tone enhancing the film.
Sean Patrick Flannery Screen Presence: 30
If there was a black spot was how Sean got into an accident which required him to be hospitalized for nearly the entire filming. At least his leg is much better now, but most of the footage was somewhat subpar, and it showed him mostly before he became the Living Laser.
Win some and lose some you guess.
Brendan Fraser Screen Presence: 83
But you could not say the same about Brendan at all. His delivery, presence, and enthusiasm have made Nefaria into a fun, if still sinister, villain. He comes as somewhat goofy at first, yet over the movie it's the small details which slowly but surely compound and show what a true monster hides behind the façade.
Hamish Linklater Screen: 8
Hamish, what are you doing?! Hamish stop! Please, just stop!
It might be because you said this was a comedy and he worked in one until recently, but
dear God man that doesn't mean turn the character into a complete buffoon!!! Oh God Vaughn is now refusing to even see him in person, and you can't even replace him at this point since the entire film kind of depends on him!
Why, just why!?
Antagonist Chemistry: 96
The overall interaction is magnificent. Brendan and Hayden have formed a true friendship and it's used to its fullest in the film (The Star Wars reference between them is staying, no questions asked!) and helping Sean through his recovery brought the whole team together…yes even Hamish.
Unfortunately.
With the film nearly done, and so little time granted, you still need to make a choice as to what to do with the Stone. Matthew told you that he originally would have preferred for the Maggia to keep it so as to keep them as a threat. You could find a different way though.
[] [Stone] Just go with Vaughn's idea and have the Maggia recover the Power Stone.
[] [Stone] SHIELD could be seen at the end finding the stone and safeguarding it.
[] [Stone] Darcy could find the stone and keep it for her own research.
[] [Stone] Why should others have it? The Power Stone is now fused with Simon!
[] [Stone] I'm thinking of Something Else: Write In
Well, Vaughn no ideas for the Post-Credit Scene, but the marvel Execs did. Seeing how the Maggia has been hyped out they want to make sure to use Luchino Nefaria in the final Avengers film. For that, they want to have Nick Fury contact him in his cell and have him work with them with the "glowing cube" as Loki looks through a mirror and talks to him. It's a good plan, and would finally make use of the Kree in a way that does not feel intrusive in other films.
[] [Mid-Credit] Yes and I have an idea for it.
-[] [Mid-Credit] Write In:
[] [Mid-Credit] No, there's no need for one.
[] [Post-Credit] Yes and I have an idea for it.
-[] [Post-Credit] Luchino Nefaria is visited in his cell by Nick Fury as he's offered the chance to work on the "glowing cube" as Loki observes, and communicates with him, through one of the mirrors.
