The definition of overrated

Rating: 5/10 (24 August 2017)

Let me just get it out of the way. I am a DC fan. I have vastly preferred all the recent DCEU movies to the newer stuff marvel has put out (aside from suicide squad!). Yes they have their flaws but they felt like a breath of fresh air from the light hearted marvel movies which were beginning to loose their charm. Then Wonder Woman came along and I must say it looked very promising... I was hyped. And so the reviews came flooding in and they were all very positive which was a big surprise! I was going in with high expectations. I came out disappointed.
Before I start ranting on about how overrated Wonder Woman is I want to say that the first act of the movie (in Themyscira) was amazing. From the cinematography capturing the beauty of the island to the battle against the soldiers on the beach. It was all great. Then this epic start that promised a good movie was ruined as the characters entered London and all the comedic one liners began to come in. It suddenly didn't feel like a DC movie. Yes I know it's okay for the odd joke but come on we're in the height of World War One here and you're giving us all this jokey dialogue... No thanks.
Then eventually we meet Dr poison and some army general who's name I forget. Wow. These guys are worse than any marvel villain. Period. They were left completely undeveloped by the end of the movie and had hardly any screen time. Speaking of villains who had hardly any screen time, ares who I guess was supposed to be the main villain was terrible. They built up all this tension that ares would be the general when in the end he was some character we'd seen for about 5 minutes at the start of the movie. Talk about an anticlimax. The final fight scene was awful. Just awful. The definition of a cgi mess. And why did ares still have the face of the human he disguised himself as when he went into his god form. Who knows?! That's when I dropped out and couldn't be bothered paying attention to it anymore. Transformers does cgi fights better for god sake. And when I said this movie was overrated on YouTube I realized how toxic we DC fans are. All of them started attacking me. Can we really not take criticism?! If this was a marvel movie it would be a whole different story for the DC fanboys! They'd hate it and talk about all the points I've mentioned!
In conclusion I really don't get why everyone loves this movie so much. It just feels like another generic superhero movie with some extra flaws. Nothing special here :p
4 or 5/10
