Gail Gadot's acting is stunning, but...

Rating: 8/10 (3 February 2019)

Ok. First of all, what is good about this film?
1. Gail Gadot was a FABULOUS choice as Wonder Woman. Not only is she STUNNINGLY gorgeous, she brings a tough, gritty depth to the role. VERY well done casting choice and acting job.
2. Chris Pine also did well with his role as Steve Trevor. He played him with authenticity and a bit of roguishness.
3. Cinematography was excellent. It was authentic for the period chosen.
Now for the negatives.
1. The film was set in the wrong period! Wonder Woman was originally a World War 2 character. This might seem like a minor point, but if you're going to make a superhero movie, you need to get the backstory right.
2. The special effects were TOO good. They overpowered the story and nearly became the story.
3. Also Wonder Woman originally teamed with the Americans, not the British. I suspect that since DC had Wonder Woman carrying a shield , they may have made this change and the period alteration in order to avoid copyright infringement with Marvel's Captain America.
Overall, not a bad effort. 7/10 stars.
