I'm not as mad as when I was walking out of Suicide Squad... that's a plus, I guess?

Rating: 5/10 (5 June 2017)

There were many parts of this movie that just made me stop and say, 'wait, what?' to my girlfriend and she did the same with me, being a person who appreciated comics herself for many years and we both had different reasons for doing so. I mostly came up with points that were about how contrary the movie kept being in terms of ideas already established. For me this is unforgivable as it ruins the flow of the movie and makes you doubt how much thought was put into maintaining continuity and facts presented. My girlfriend was more about how they had change aspects of the story of Wonder Woman and her origin and she's not big on that either as the lore is long since established and she like it when the movies stay true to the sources, as they should but are regularly changed for convenience of the film makers. Both of us were pretty bored by the fact that there were no stakes. Wonder Woman was just Superman in a skirt, could fire lazer beams, could fly, could throw a tank, could be pummeled multiple times BY A GOD and she didn't bare a single scratch. It's like playing Doom back in the day in God Mode, boring. We were also nonplussed by the fact that there was a warrior who was waving her sword around like a fool who and like it was made of foam when coming out of department store or wondering how WAR works, despite having been shown that she was highly educated (to degrees that are quite impossible and immersion breaking). None of the characters spoke like they were in the 191X's and a SAIL boat can sail from what must have been the Mediterranean (given the Ottoman placement) to London overnight. There is I suppose if you can be like the popcorn consumption juggernauts behind us and turn your brain off, or are oblivious to geography and common sense this would be a pretty good movie but if you can't and you have to be 'one of those people' who must have a story make sense and have reasons behind actions, clear morals and ethics and demand some tension created by stakes you're only going to think this is just another average 'unbelieveably overpowered, unstoppable, godlike being makes holes in CGI things'. Close but no cigar, guys. There are lots better movies being made for lots less money.
