Very sad what passes for "good" these days

Rating: 1/10 (18 June 2017)

I've been a Wonder Woman fan since the early 70's, even before the TV show. I was one of those gawky, weird teenagers that most people see as invisible, much like WW's plane. I was in a small store one day and just happened to be glancing over comic books for some reason, even though I didn't read them or buy them.
I glanced across one of the covers of Wonder Woman, and something told me to pick it up. I did, I flipped through it, and was instantly addicted and hooked on the glory that was the Amazonian Princess, Wonder Woman!
Even being a guy, I hated....no, I despised movies and TV shows that had women in them who were always the "poor little female", cowering under the big bad men who were either abusing them or harassing them. Wonder Woman was anything BUT that. A woman who didn't take "NO" for an answer, a woman who kicked butt and did't take crap from NO man! And she did it with grace, style, and class, even if it meant she had to get "down and dirty" once in a while.
Then Lynda Carter hit the small screen in a BIG way. The first season of Wonder Woman the TV show, she WAS Wonder Woman! Beauty, brains, brawn, and wisdom of the ages. She epitomized the whole heart of what Wonder Woman is and has been.
Even though the comic books have changed her and even belittled her in some formats, she's still got the power of the woman I came to adore when I really needed a friend, back in my teen years.
Now, as for the movie.........
I saw this review online, and it speaks my sentiments exactly.
"I shall yell "TRIPE" whenever tripe is served, and I shall continue to do so as long as Hollywood serves up tripe and sells it as "filet mignon"!!!
Horrible movie! Worst acting job I've ever seenÂ…. Most catastrophic casting I've ever seen in my life! Is it a "Wonder" that Marvel is raking in the big bucks, since they obviously KNOW HOW to choose the RIGHT people! They couldn't have picked a WORSE person to play Wonder Woman! In fact, they've completely ruined the legacy of the Amazon.
DC, again, just serving tripe and claiming it's filet mignon!
Wonder Woman fans have been teased and starved for SO long by DC, that it's obvious they will eat up anything at this point and think it's the best thing ever. Sad really.
You feed a starving dog a bowl of crap, it's gonna gobble it up thinking it's the best food ever! Thats whats going on here! DC has teased and starved WW fans for so long, they think this nauseating attempt at a REAL Wonder Woman is something special, when it's nothing more than tripe, crap, and a huge slap in the face to the Wonder Woman legacy, as well as a kick in the face to REAL Wonder Woman fans!
And feminists haven't had a strong female role model since Sigourney Weaver hit the screen in the Alien saga, so they are ready to take anything they can get in the way of women kicking butt on the screen, even if it is garbage.
The lack of taste and high expectations from the public nowadays is completely appalling.
A now, EX-fan of the REAL Wonder Woman."
I am still a fan of the ORIGINAL, REAL Wonder Woman. But I am NOT a fan of this horrific monstrosity DC is trying to pass off as "excellent".
The story of Wonder Woman is a good one, no matter WHO tells it. However, the people who portray the characters in the story are something altogether different. And these people, as stated above, are the worst. I would say that DC couldn't have picked a worse person to portray Wonder Woman, but then again............George Clooney as Batman. Nuff said.
