There's already a low bar set for Female superhero movies

Rating: 7/10 (2 June 2017)

Seeing as how the last two female led superhero movies were Electra and Catwoman, the quality of female superhero movies have mostly been quite poor. While I wouldn't say this is a bad movie, its perfectly average at best.
Gal Gadot is fine in the movie, she did have a little more charisma than most of her past performances, which have been very flat. This was refreshing, because going into the movie I didn't have very high expectations for her acting, but she did a decent job. As a lot of reviews have pointed out, Wonder Woman as a character lacks cynicism and has a very black and white view of the world. The scenes where Wonder Woman adapting to the real world are sort of like Thor, and the humor being that she's very out of place in this world. However, the humor parts were very one note in that way, as that was the center focus for the majority of comedic moments in the movie, and it got a little old. The actions scenes are fun while its on screen, as its fun seeing the lasso being used and Wonder Woman being able to punch through brick walls, but again as with most superhero and action movies it becomes really explosion heavy and mostly predictable in the last 30 minutes or so.
I'd say the biggest negatives in the movie are the character's that aren't Wonder Woman or Steve Trevor. The majority of them have one defining character trait, and that seems to be especially present in the soldier characters that team up with the Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor. There's the pervy one, the drunk guy that likes to fight, and an Indian guy (don't really remember what he did in the movie). Then for the villains, there's Aries who wants to *gasp* destroy mankind, an evil German general, and an evil German scientist. All three of the villains were like cardboard cutouts, zero depth. Other character's such as Steve's secretary (a slightly annoying character), and some British military officers were all very one note as well.
Other slight issues I had, were that it didn't seem like there was a whole lot to the Amazons other than being warriors, it seems like if there's a world with only women that fighting wouldn't necessarily be the main focus they would have.
