Definitely Not Wonder Woman

Rating: 2/10 (9 March 2019)

As a viewer who generally prefers Marvel movies vs DC, this production seems to have more objectives than telling a superhero story. Never in the lead up to or viewing of Wonder Woman did I feel the movie was more about the director, acting leads or population segments.
With Captain Marvel, there were great special effects and action scenes which are now expected and redundant, but it's almost as if there was a checklist of current event cultural topics that had to be worked into the plot. And that excellence or greatness had to exist at the expense of others.
My daughter also thought the movie was OK but preferred WW, Alita and Aquaman as recent superhero movies.
Most frustrating was how calculated the cast appears to have been selected - calculated not to optimize story but rather other goals.
To be honest I was never a fan of the Captain Marvel story from comics - but the same was true of Aquaman. Yet that was an entertaining movie that I left not feeling tweaked on social justice. Which is good - cause I drop 60 bucks at AMC for entertainment and nothing more.
