Review of Wonder Woman (2017) by Mikemcadams55 — 12 Jun 2017

I wouldn't say it was a bad film in any capacity, but like most of the reviews I've been reading: it was nothing special to me. The big moments of the film seemed telegraphed from the beginning for me.

The slow-mo was used so much that expected at one point during a fight scene Gal Gadot winking at the camera because of how "cool" she looked. I enjoyed the actors, and I enjoyed the plot, but for me I feel like the other DCU films sullied this one.

Had she been given her own stand alone film BEFORE BvS, I think I'd have felt different. Since her film was already linked to that trainwreck though, I feel like it's "too little, too late" for the DCU films.

I'd say Suicide Squad was actually slightly better (only slightly) than this and that's because it was simply a more "fun" film. Should you see it? YES. Would I pay to see it a second time/purchase it? Not personally.
