I thought the old British man as Ares was cool and good, it's just a shame the fight scene sucked and the cgi was all over the place.

I didn't mind the final battle being a brawl at all. Ares sure used subtlety to get humanity better at killing itself but at the end of the day he is the God of War from a time when war was about stabbing and hacking each other to bits. He sure as hell didnt whisper the other gods to death.

Ares certainly makes a shitload more sense being cast as a Satanic figure than Hades who normally is. War is hell, after all. And some depictions of gods of war aren't too far away from Khorne. Does make me wonder (ha!) if Diana will have a near-death experience and run into Hades at some point. I like to think they'd get along.

Should I comment on the the problems in the script? On the unimpressive action? No, the mustache is the real problem.

I think the issue was not that they had a fight - but that it was all CG action figures bumping into each other and firing doofy energy beams. Contrasting with the physicality and small debris and relative realness of the village assault (or even the melee with General Cokehead in the guard tower). (Though her super jump always looked dumb and I blame BvS for establishing it)

Being an insane, evil hyper- nationalist he hates fun things so he won't do it. Also he won't do it because the film probably won't jive with said evil, insane hyper-nationalism.

Instead get whatever James Woods Impersonator they've been using for Kingdom Hearts then, unless that is actually James Woods in which case we're just out of luck.

Wonder Woman will pass $400 million domestically this weekend. The last big market for it to open in Japan on August 25th. However, Japan doesn't seem to be big on superhero films so it probably won't make a big impact on the numbers. There's also some people upset at the marketing for the Japan release. The "image song" they're using to promote it is called "A Woman Should Never Sleep Alone" and the marketing material is emphasizing her "lack of romantic experience"

Also, a cursory search  shows that anime Wonder Woman pillows already exist so I guess the next demand will be for Gal Gadot ones.

Looks like it'll fall just a few million shy of the domestic take of Captain America: Civil War and Iron Man 3 but it should have just enough gas left in the tank to knock the '02 Spider-Man off 7th place in the list of highest grossing superhero films. The two have been running neck and neck for weeks now with WW slooooowly making progress day by day:

Looking at The Numbers site, Homecoming seems to tracking closely to Suicide Squad. It's seems to have had much better reviews so I don't know.

Wondering if Wonder Woman's having Titanic-style legs with repeat viewers, or it's just really popular with women. Or both. Is Wonder Woman the Iron Man of the DCCU?

Wonder Woman has the unique qualities of being unoffensive and Marvelly, while at the same time being decent and being the first tentpole woman comic book character on screen between these two titans of industry. And also had WB crab walking backwards promising how much better a movie it would be over its previous three. It hit a good spot what with the only other comic movie to come out afterwards was like the fifteenth iteration of Spider-Man.
