Ended up decent!

Rating: 7/10 (3 June 2017)

Looking at every single DC movie made after The Dark Knight trilogy, you wouldn't expect them to ever be capable of making anything more than a big CGI mess with a lot of destroying asphalt and buildings. Man Of Steel had it, Batman Vs. Superman had it and Suicide Squad was just the most horrible piece of crap ever made. But to my surprise Wonder Woman is actually a decent superhero movie very much in the same league as most of the Marvel movies! And that makes me wonder if it's not a director thing? Both BVS and Man Of Steel were made by Zack Snyder and they both are filled with destruction. This one is made by Patty Jenkins, which clearly was a good move.
It's interesting, exciting, funny, well made and I couldn't find anything that I disliked about it for the first two hours. Except for Robin Wright's weird attempt at speaking in an accent that just comes out Russian for some reason (reminds me a bit of Cate Blanchett in Indiana Jones 4), and of course the countless slow motion action sequences which are over-used. I thought Gal Gadot did a great job at portraying the heroine, who I disliked in BVS. It's a movie about her and her alone. It doesn't make a lot of attempts to tying the story together with the other DC movies. The music during the end credits is really good.
The first two hours I thought it was a really good movie. Then the main villain appears and as superhero-movie-standard they have to have a final showdown. Then they went all Zack Snyder on it and in walks big explosions, lots of destruction and a very badly executed main villain whose CGI appearance looks like he escaped off a Mortal Combat cover. After that the movie and Wonder Woman herself turned too cliché in my opinion and I rolled my eyes countless times. Luckily we didn't have to endure that for more than a couple of minutes, but it was soooo close to being a great movie. Now it just ended up decent. 7/10
