Real Fresh Mediocre

Rating: 5/10 (20 June 2019)

First I want to remind everyone of what mediocre means. It means that something is of middling quality; neither bad nor good; indifferent. Said chiefly of literary or artistic works, ability, or knowledge, and hence of persons considered with reference to their mental power or skill.
This movie is almost perfectly mediocre. The acting is ok, esp. considering the actors. The plot is the usual, too easy to predict, origin story. There is really nothing to offend, nothing very original, nor anything that is different from any other origin story. As far as it being feminist, I imagined a man playing the same role, and really there would have been almost no significant change to the movie. Makes you wonder if the whole Marvel Universe is winding down to corporate toy level. Wasn't worth seeing in a theater. Sort of ok for a DVD watch. There is a lot that could have been done with this. A lot of material that could have made this character interesting, but only a bare minimum of that was done. There are a couple of plot points that go by way too fast. Her whole conversion is too easily done. Her whole mastery of power is too smooth. So we now have a Superman in Marvel. So what. They are going to have to create a kryptonite for her so they can have plots. The character herself is too bland, too perfect, too pointless.
