Review of Wonder Woman (2017) by Moviemitch96 — 01 Jun 2017

I was already starting to lose my patience with the DC Universe films and their continuous lack of quality and fun, especially when compared to Marvel, and therefore had no intention or desire to check this film out.

However, the unexpected high acclaim and positive reviews the film started receiving was what ultimately swayed me to give this film a chance. Unfortunately, I'd have to disagree with the majority and say that this film is just like the rest of the DC films, lacking in quality and fun.

Sure it didn't feel quite as brooding and serious as most of the others, but that doesn't change the fact that the story felt very formulaic and "been there, done that" from other superhero films, and Gal Gadot (whom I considered to be quite miscast for the role to begin with when she made her debut in the also abysmal Batman v.

Superman last year) delivered what I felt to be an unimpressive and wooden performance. Add on top of that some really ridiculous-looking CGI (especially in the film's final battle with the villain), as well as plenty of explosions to go around, and there you have it.

Overall, this movie has further assured me that I likely won't be bothering to check out the Justice League film when it comes out later this year, let alone any other DC films if I can help it. They're all the same to me and just no fun.
