A letdown for two reasons

Rating: 3/10 (5 June 2017)

This was an entertaining movie, but I don't think I would recommend it to anyone else, for two reasons. First, the issue of Wonder Woman's powers is very confusing and inconsistent. In this movie, she seemingly starts out as just another Amazonian chick, but ends up flying through the air like Superman. This seems to follow a pattern in her previous comic book and TV incarnations. In some cases, she had to have the glass (invisible) plane to fly, but at other times she could fly alone, like Superman. Secondly, I was disappointed to learn that Wonder Woman's creator, William Moulton Marston, was a seedy, loathsome character (see Wikipedia for the details on his menage a trois and fondness for eugenicist Margaret Sanger). Hopefully this excellent actress, Gal Gadot, will find a better vehicle for her talents in the future.
