It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
... View MoreThis movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
... View MoreI enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
... View MoreOne of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
... View MoreI must be honest, it took me a while before I finally decided to watch this, as I'm not a big Hollywood superhero movie fan. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. Gil Gadot is excellent as Wonder Woman and lends credibility to the naive title character. The chemistry between her and Chris Pine was wonderful and made for a very believable love story. It felt very natural and romance between them seemed inevitable.As for the plot, I enjoyed the way the Amazonian women's back story was told, as well as Diana's (Wonder Woman). The visuals and photography are incredible! This is a visual spectacle. I loved the humorist dialogue, which was genuinely funny and never over the top or slapstick. Gil Gadot is just fabulous.This superhero movie had a very realistic feel to it with the added bonus of feeling and emotion. There are so many truths in this film humanity should take note of. The film has a very unexpected ending compared to most superhero movies, and that's what I honestly loved about the film.
... View MoreThe best I can say about the film was that it was watchable ... once. Now that it has been seen, I don't foresee ever saying that I'd like to sit through it again. How it managed to win, or even be nominated for, the awards that it garnered will be forever one of life's mysteries. I feel I'm being overly gracious with the "5" rating.
... View MoreI used to watch "Wonder Woman" TV series as a kid, and found her inspiring. A tough female superhero was a good role model for a girl in the 80's until Helen Slater's Supergirl and animated She-Ra. Before then there was Wonder Woman, although now as an adult, the earlier show looks really funny and quite sexist now. So I looked forward to watching "Wonder Woman" 2017. I was certainly in awe of the island Themyscira where Wonder Woman (Diane) grew up among the Amazons of legend. It was a very magical place like something out of a feminist sci-fi utopia novel. The beautiful and isolated world is interrupted when a WW1 plane arrrives and crashes into the sea. Diane rescues the pilot, Steve, and a load of Germans on a boat emerge through the same mist and all hell breaks lose. The Amazons manage to defeat the Germans, arrows and swords better than guns! Much of the film didnt make a lot of sense. They gave WW a pair of gold wedge heeled boots, a Roman gladiator style metal suit of armour in red and blue colours, with a golden eagle. The tiara has a star on it. The precious god-slaying sword was easily retrieved and supposed to be the ultimate weapon against the enemy of humanity. She agreed to go with Steve to his world, and they get on a boat and sail off. They end up in smoky London of WW1. Wonder Woman spent so long in a London boutique and being childishly silly, then handing over her sword and shield to a secretery, then this debate about secreteries being "slaves". The scenes of WW at the Frontline was pretty cool, but I was greatly disappointed with the rest. David Thewlis turned out to be a big surprise and Steve's decision to sacrifice himself the way he did was a bit "rushed". The film relied heavily on CGI to impress and not much on storyline or script. The characters seemed a bit wooden and even Wonder Woman came across as a bit too naive. It's as if the film makers forgot that she's meant to be an Amazon and a demi goddess.
... View MoreNot very impressed. What could've been a great film is let down by bad timing, too many dark scenes and date errors (namely Edith Piaf songs in the background). What it needed was someone to frequently poke Gal Gadoir to remember her lines. I hope things get sorted soon.
