This movie was outstanding. DC's best movie so far. One of the things I hate about some of the animated moves is when they do that "fresh off the island" Wonder Woman and she seems to be as dimwitted as a Neanderthal that's only good at fighting. They handled this very well in the movie, while she was naive about the ways of the world, she had a basic understanding of it and was classically educated. There were bits and pieces in there that were added for humor's sake, but nothing overly cringeworthy to make her look like a blundering oaf. The action sequences were great, they stayed away from the overly CG night explosions everywhere 300 style until the very end when it needed to be like that. The action was great, the story was great, and the supporting cast was interesting. Pacing was really good, it never felt like it was dragging. I must apologize for ever doubting Gal Gadot could fill this role, she's amazing. She made a very good transition from BvS Wonder Woman that was experienced in modern civilization to Naive Wonder Woman. It was very believable and well acted with class and dignity.

Yeah, Reptilicus wasn't very funny, I admit I was a bit disappointed with it. Cry Wilderness made up for it. the Wizards of the Lost Kingdom movies are pretty good too. I mean, come on, David Carridine as a retired hero working as a smartass bartender? That doesn't need riffing to be funny! About the only issue I have is that Tom's voice is so different I have trouble determining when he's speaking as opposed to Jonah. I mean, the guy does a great job, has Tom's personality down really well, it's just in a much higher register and that bugs me. And some of my favorite movies are with Mike, though the Ninja Master ones are still in my top 10.

Been a while since playing ME1, so going off old memories here! I love the infiltrator, but that's what I tend towards. You still definitely need a close-range weapon, and while the heat system can get you into trouble sometimes, I do like not having to worry about running out of ammo in the middle of a huge fight! Later games balance the weapons you can use better, so you can load up with a sniper rifle and an assault rifle, giving you good choices for both options. Yes, if your teammates have grenades as an option, they do sometimes use them. I never worried about micromanaging my fights, though. I learned who will do what (such as some characters running out into the middle of things) and worked with that. Makes fights a lot more fun as your teammates aren't useless on their own. For gear, you don't have to equip everything you find. Most stuff you can get at stores later in the game, and there's lots of gear combos that are effective. Just go with what looks the best of the gear you have and can buy at a time, and you should be fine. Save often and in different slots. You may want to go back and redo some things later in the game. But don't worry, the ending is pretty epic! Also, the Mako is fucking hilariously awesome to drive. And fly off mountains! I always got the feeling that when my Shepard was going out in the Mako, the other teammates would rock/paper/scissors and the losers had to join her. There's a lot places you'll have to drive around in, but also a lot of places where you just run around and explore planets. Talk to people and do a lot of random side quests; it's really interesting how some of those will show up in the other games. Nothing major, just odds and ends and some neat flavor text type of stuff. Edit: just remembered his name, make sure you talk to Conrad Verner at the Citadel. No matter what your responses are, make sure you do. He does show up in next two games, but only if you talk to him in each game. He's entertaining comic relief later in the series, so for amusement's sake, talk to him.
