It's the modern day, and being Wonder Woman is complicated. Diana is leading a triple life - running a large corporation out of costume and fighting crime in costume in one identity.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

I did watch the 70's Wonder woman several times and was a huge fan. This by all accounts blows 70's WW away. By today's standards WW of the 70's was very silly. Spinning into uniforms (motorcycle, swimming, etc...) silly sound effects when jumping, Iraq computer with dog that gets pulled around by fish wire. I always thought Linda Carter was a little soft to be WW (you could tell she did not workout) although she had a pretty smile. The Adrianne Palicki was a great choice, the was bad-A fighter and beautiful. They took out all the stuff that made WW 70's silly, like the spinning into uniform and expanded on other things like use of the lasso (not a cheesy truth machine, but as great fighting tool.) I just saw the latest GIJoe movie and "unimpressed and boring movie" but Adrianne Palicki was the best part about the whole thing and the only decent scenes were with her. Another great think I loved out the pilot is she practiced street justice. If someone was guilty using the law protect them, she would not care, she would still go after them.

Do not watch this if you have fond memories of the 70's series, it will negatively impact good memories. Quite frankly Lynda Carter gave such an elegant and poised performance this modern version lacks femininity when you naturally in your own head compare them. The language is also rather crude at times, which I found pointless as I felt they were trying to be risqué for the sake of it whilst aiming towards a family audience. The actress in my view lacks the kind of Amazonian presence that Lynda Carter gave us despite clearly being a good actress she also lumbers around the screen.The supporting cast is not that exciting either, sadly You can see why this never made it beyond a pilot. The plot is very flimsy, for obvious reasons I do not want to spoil the "plot" for anyone, luckily that wont happen as no plot seems to exist. I am now going to buy the 70's series to remind me of what was so special about wonder woman, in a male superhero dominated world, if a WW film is to be made please pick very carefully. Possibly Emma Stone, she has a presence which could match Lynda Carter.

Where do I begin? This version of Wonder Woman goes too far in trying to make her dark and edgy. It's worse than the 2004 Daredevil that taunted and tortured men just for winning against him in a court of law.This Wonder Woman lacks compassion or mercy. She tortures men who are already helpless and in hospital beds for information. She is sadistic and cruel. Not only that but she has a confusing three alter egos. And the "Casual" one just sits at home, petting a cat, watching chick flicks and pining for her ex. I wanted to smack this obnoxious stereotype on what it means to be female.It is my belief that the only real difference between men and women, psychologically, are the constraints that society imposes on us. In example: A little girl might be raised to like pink because it's a "girl" color and a little boy is taught the same about "blue" but these are not basic biological patterns of reason but rather an odd cultural impression that many conform to without realizing it. There is a reason human psychology is just that, human psychology, not male psychology or female psychology, just psychology. This felt like it was written by someone who can't quite grasp that despite the reproductive organs or what gender you might be attracted to, we are all people with the same basic wants and needs. Women are not some strange alien lifeform.I kept wanting Bo from Lost Girl or Buffy to come along and smack her as they are actually well portrayed female heroes. This was insulting. It made me feel dirty and ashamed to be female. The character was so dark and repulsive (when she wasn't being a bad stereotype) that I found it hard to believe she was the hero. This was disgusting.

Wonder Woman must stop the head of a pharmaceutical company's illegal experiments for financial gain.Opening with the horror-stricken images of a boy with bleeding eyes, Wonder Woman quickly moves to a foot chase though the streets. There's no origin story which some have highly criticised. Personally I'm a exasperated with origin stories, these superhero characters have become a part of pop culture and can seem some what unnecessary. The pilot establishes Wonder Woman as a known face in the real world, a vigilant of sorts, with a reputation for knocking down doors, invading privacy, assaulting people and the videos uploaded to YouTube. Adrianne Palicki is surprising good as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman, and oddly the promotional pictures for the show didn't do her justice. She's tough, rough, sexy and sulky. The plot features a standard Cary Elwes performance as her marketing CEO and Elizabeth Hurley plays the antagonist head of a pharmaceutical company.It's quite amusing that (in the world of the pilot) she has become marketable merchandise property and makes a remark that the comic version of her is incorrect with Diana stating that the Wonder Woman doll is insulting and she want's it redesigned. "These breast are ridiculous." "Wonder Woman isn't vulgar." "Wonder Woman is perfect, perfect t*ts, perfect ass, perfect teeth." It is apparent that Diana's/Wonder's crime fighting technology is funded by Wonder Woman's merchandising success which is an interesting titbit (no pun intended).There's establishing flashback for Diana's love interest and some good camera work and effects from director Jeffrey Reiner, the contemporary music is dramatic and adds to the tension in the dialogue scenes. David E. Kelley's story explores briefly the problem of superheroes heavy handiness being unlawful and forever under legal scrutiny.Wonder Woman is reminiscent of 'The New Adventures of Superman' (1993- 1997) although it does have a darker tone and sleeker look. It moves away from Superman's studio feel and while not particularly true to the comic, Wonder Woman's shot on location look and Kelley relevant poignant dialogue adds to its allure as much as Palicki's costume.The only big action scene is at the 30 minute mark and is the highlight of the pilot with Palicki's physical prowess and wire-work being most impressive.Overall, Adrianne Palicki equals Lynda Carter's incarnation and while not spectacular or highly engrossing it's no lesser than other mediocre TV productions that have been given a chance and a longer run. It may have evolved and brought a live action Wonder Woman to another generation but I suppose we may never know, that is until some else has a stab at bringing DC's female flag character to life.
