Review of Wonder Woman (2017) by Lash4Wn328 — 01 Jun 2017
Bunch of problems with this train wreck:
- It's dumb and exploitative on multiple levels to make a movie about a scantily clad sword-wielding woman helping to win World War 1.
- We get it, the Amazons are all huge feminists dripping with contempt and disdain for men and Western civilization generally, what a fun and engaging concept for a movie.
- "Doctor Poison"? Really?
- Could they not even get an American actress to play an American icon like Wonder Woman? The Israeli accent was a constant distraction.
- Gal Gadot is cute, but as BvS proved she's not much of an actress. This is a woman who until just recently was best known for a throwaway eye candy role in Fast & Furious movies.
- The action scenes (super strong woman with shield fighting old timey soldiers) were very derivative of the original Captain America movie. With the superhero market so overstuffed these days it'd be nice to have some original visuals and action, but no dice.
- Chris Pine is totally unconvincing as a ladies' man. He's a decent actor but it's pretty clear (as it was in Star Trek) that he doesn't actually swing that way in reality.
