Not so wonderful

Rating: 3/10 (2 November 2017)

So the hype surrounding this film over the last couple of years almost dictated this would be no good and on that score, it didn't disappoint.
It starts off not too bad, with a bit of Backstory as to who this Amazon actually is and in the main it's good though he overbearing Mother is obnoxious in her protection of the young 'Diana' culminating in her almost repeating the same sentence to two different Amazons - To Paraphrase "We can't train her, the stronger she gets the easier it will be for him to find her"...then...
"The more she knows about herself the easier it will be for him to find her"...Dumb Dumb Dumb!!!! So basically, just lock her up in a dungeon then and let her starve. Simple. That way "he'll never find her".
As soon as Pine enters the equation the film has lost. He's a terrible actor and on more than one occasion I found myself getting quite wound up at his constant intensity toward 'Diana'. He barely spoke a line, more throwing it at her or constantly talking over her in an attempt at reason. Never was he convincing.
So much sadly was wrong with this film and its a real shame because they could've made an excellent film from this. Others seem to think there was some 'Feminist agenda' going on, I never really picked that out as one of the flaws( It is Wonder Woman after all...). No, most of the flaws came in dialogue, it was all to schmaltzy, not feminist but definitely SJW-esque. Peace, Love, Love your enemies, treat them with kindness. This film definitely had an agenda to it, and it was all too obvious. Feminism wasn't one of them, as I say, it is Wonder Woman so she kind of has to be a strong female character and a strong female influence. I just felt we were being preached to on a Political level and I never enjoy that from Politicians, never mind film makers.
Love saves all apparently seems to be one message from this...Well, no, Love doesn't always conquer all and there is no point serving that up to naive kids who are already brainwashed by Liberal ideals.
Poor effort, and one best avoided in all honesty.
