I'm not optimistic, judging by the trailer. She doesn't seem to have quite the strength or agility to make the trailer work, and the trailer seemed to be pushing her fight scenes. The fighting doesn't seem to be up to the level of Daredevil or John Wick, or Kick-Ass for that matter. But we shall see.

In general she's a bit overrated.

She was an absolutely horrible choice for Aeon Flux, but Monster seemed to do nicely for her.

If only real punches sounded like that...

John Goodman has been in a number of movies lately I've noticed. 10 Cloverfield Lane was pretty good. They could make a part II.

And who's Charlize Theron?

She was great in Mad Max: Fury Road. And her fight scenes were better too.

I don't think I ever saw Aeon Flux all the way through. Monster was a decent movie though, even though I think Christina Ricci was miscast for the movie.

Saw the trailer the other day. The fighting scenes looked kind of stilted and awkward. No thanks.

"Hey, John Wick did really well! Lets do it again, but cast a female lead this time so it'll be totally different"..... Atomic Blonde

That thought popped into my mind, I have to admit.

The sad part of it though as mentioned is that with the right training, choreographer, and filmmakers, etc, she can be made to look like a competent fighter as evidenced by the movie Mad Max: Fury Road. She was believable as a badass in that movie.

But from the trailer of Atomic Blonde, not so much. Sure, she isn't a truly well-trained fighter, but I also blame the filmmakers for not dealing with this properly.

I haven't seen Wonder Woman in the previous movies (as I have no desire to see those movies), but I am tentatively optimistic about the new Wonder Woman movie this summer. Hopefully they don't just CGI the shit out of everything and she has some decent and more believable one-on-one fight scenes.



Apparently Gal Gadot has had a fair amount of combat training in the Israeli military which gave her a headstart for the DC Wonder Woman movie(s).

Ever seen "The Devil's Advocate"?

Fighting does look a little sub par from what we have been seeing lately. Might rent it.
