Strong Lead Character With Disappointing Ending

Rating: 7/10 (2 July 2020)

The film has a lot of good things going for it, and is probably the best of the recent DC movies (not that the bar is high). Wonder Woman herself is excellent, and makes a strong argument in favor of including more female superheroes. Positive messages are here, but not epic feels in your heart. One good character is not enough. I'm sure other people liked Chris Pine's character more than I did though. He wasn't bad, just not particularly interesting. They seem to have relegated him to the traditionally female role (which itself needs to be fixed) of being 1 dimensional and without much depth or thought. Like his character exists entirely as a romantic interest and as eye candy; which is typically how film treats women. That aside, everything works well together until the finale. Which has the result of establishing a lot of forward momentum throughout the film only for that momentum to cause hard skidding against the ground when the end falls flat on its face.
