The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Diana Prince is sent into the world of men as Wonder Woman (Cathy Lee Crosby). In disguise, she becomes the assistant to government agent Steve Trevor who is battling evil super villain Abner Smith (Ricardo Montalban). Smith has his viscous minions, George and former Amazon Angela.This is an early live-action superhero TV movie. After Superman and Batman, this is probably the most important early comic book character on live-action TV. Cathy would be later replaced by Lynda Carter in the TV show. In addition to the lead actress, other things have been changed again and again. The most obvious is the costume and the level of her power. I have no problem with her costume although the one on Lynda Carter is so much hotter. The level of power has varied over time in the comics. This one has her as super athlete but not really super human. Cathy Lee Crosby is closer to an athlete trying her hand at acting rather than a real actress. She has good looks but her acting lacks range. Her athleticism is useful in this show but she is generally stiff. She's functional as a presenter but she can't really emote. As for the plot and writing, it is a mess of broad comic book silliness. It doesn't have any realism but it doesn't have any fun in its outrageousness. There's a burro in a crate and a snake which is drawn to a saucer of milk for some reason. I'm not convinced at all that the burro is the best supervillain transport. It's all very lame and silly and cheesy. The cheesiness has some value if Cathy Lee Crosby can only project some sense of fun. When Montalban ends up paddling his rubber dingy, I couldn't take the overall cheesiness. It's good to move on to Lynda Carter who has longer lasting Wonder Woman legacy. This is a TV curiosity which WW fans may find some joy in and maybe worthwhile to check out.

Watching this not too long ago on The Sci Fi Channel, I laughed at this so hard that I had a severe headache for hours! I managed to tape it thank god and can enjoy this HUGE hunk of cheesiness from 70's tv. Cathy Lee Crosby (A 70's version of Kathy Lee Gifford) always bothered me as Wonder Woman, simply because her smiled drove me crazy, and her deliverance of the dialog was just HORRIBLE!!!! ***POSSIBLE SPOILERS HEADED YOUR WAY!!!***The 2 saving graces? Ricardo Montalban as Abner and Andrew Prine as the REALLY sleazy and greedy George. Prine has the right idea when he keeps telling Abner to kill her. Isn't that what YOU would want to do whenever you hear her talk? Still, it's interesting to watch a weak fight between Wonder Woman and her renegade comrade from Paradise Island, Anjayla(Anitra Ford, an original "Bob Barker's Beauty from Price Is Right, no less).Watch the film if you like cheese oozing from the tv screen.

Mark-129

This compact 90 minute unsold pilot caused quite a stir when it premiered on ABC in 1974. Even then comic book fans bemoaned the new interpretation of the character. It's not really Wonder Woman but, a modernized and scrubbed down version of a short lived incarnation of her from then current issues of the Wonder Woman comic book. In this version, after a short origin sequence, Wonder Woman, as Diana Prince, secret government agent, under Steve Trevor, is given the job of recovering a set of code books in the hands of a blackmailer.The movie is entertaining. It's structured like an old time movie serial, each act has a cliffhanger ending with some new threat to Diana, who only appears in "costume" near the end. Not the traditional uniform, but a rather mod looking red, white and blue outfit, with a hidden golden lasso.Providing menace is ace henchman, George. As played by Andrew Prine, who appears to be having a lot of fun, George's wish to kill the Amazon Princess is matched only by his desire to make love to her. (Don't worry, it's not a deep as it sounds).Abner Smith, portrayed by a very charming Ricardo Montalban is George's boss and a great foil for Cathy Lee Crosby, who is over her head in this role, but tries hard. As a side note, try counting the number of times, someone uses a telephone during the film. A new drinking game could come out of this film!

I saw this movie several years ago and was VERY disappointed with it. Cathie Lee Crosby in no way even looks like Wonder Woman as portrayed in the comics, and the costume was totally changed. I do not recommend this movie to any real Wonder Woman fan, you will be very disappointed also if you take the time to seek out this horrible adaptation.
