Review of Wonder Woman (2017) by Joshua G — 08 Oct 2017

A repeat of Captain America: The First Avenger, but get this, with a FEMALE lead. Sorry, DC, you don't get a pass just because your latest outing wasn't as bad as previous releases. You basically portrayed the Germans as Nazis, despite the fact it was set in the FIRST world war, and practically every character could be likened to one in the first Captain America film, which, for the record, I didn't jump for joy for either.

SPOILERS: It wouldn't have been so bad if, once it was revealed that Wonder Woman was wrong about Ares, the reveal as to who it was was intelligent. I mean, Steve Trevor fit the role of a man forcing the war to continue, and had it turned out he was Ares, one of the best twists in recent years could've been on our hands, that might have justified DC ripping off their biggest rival. But the arch-villain was simply Background Character C and as such the reveal held no real emotion to it.
