Review of Wonder Woman (2017) by Trikk86 — 07 Jun 2017
I went to see the movie with all the 90%ish reviews and oh boy, was I disappointed.
Gal Gadot plays an ok Wonder Woman and she probably is one of the brighter spots of the movie.
The history is during WWI but it pretty much looks like WWII. The bad general could be substituted by a standard-cliche-WWII-Nazi-badguy and the evil female henchman is a WWI Dr.Mengele clone. Some of the outfits also are more WWII than WWI but those are details. The Germans are bad. The British are good.
Despite its flaws the movie could be a solid 6 if not for the final 20-30 mins when it all goes to poop. Once the evil general (who is believe to be Ares by Wonder Woman) is slain there were two choices the creators could do. 1) Diana realizes that good and evil have nothing to do with Ares. That people are just a mixed bag. Steve could then convince her that the good ones are still worth fighting for. You get some deeper morality involved.
2) Make a plot twist when it turns out Ares has a mustache and make 20-30 min of cliches with cheesy dialog along with MASSIVE BLOWING STUFF UP WITH BAD CGI and creating loop holes in the meantime.
Now we all know which one they chose.
The Good:
Gal Gadot.
Chris Pine.
The Amazon Island.
This is meh combination of Thor with Captain America.
