Gal Gadot is hot, that's it, the entirety of the good things.

Rating: 4/10 (4 September 2017)

Disclaimer: I was unable to finish the movie: I got bored.
Like most superhero movies, Wonder Woman takes itself seriously, and fails at it. So, let's start with that: the plot is unnecessarily dark, but stupid, those two things, just don't work together. It's a movie about a daft Amazonian woman that can kick arse with plenty of CGI, and a dark story about how evil the German's were in WW ONE-- where yes, atrocities were committed by BOTH sides, but by no means were generals gassing their entire command structure to kill more people--The plot, as you can see, is an odd mix.
Next, let's talk about Gal Godot's accent: I hate it: it sounds stupid. I get why she has it, that's fine, she has never heard another accent, but yet, we need to suspend our disbelief to the fact that she can speak English: a language she has never heard before; just take it a bit further and get rid of the grating accent. Which leads on nicely to my next point: it's a superhero movie, we're supposed to suspend our disbelief, but Wonder Woman asks for way to much: dramatically changing the way WWI happened. It's fine if a few small things happened differently, but to actually change the course of human history is asking for way too much.
The comedic relief relies only on awkward sex talk, or Wonder Woman's lack of knowledge. Chris Pine does all the work and Gal Gadot is a sexy set-piece. Example of both: when they are walking through London, and Gal Gadot is wearing her armour with an overcoat. I don't remember why, but she starts to open it up, and Chris Pine has a fit that she can't walk around like that, he needs to buy her some clothes. So they go to buy clothes, and we get about five minutes of Gal Gadot trying on clothes, doing high kicks in a dress (which tears), and asking how a woman can fight it these things. We are gifted with five minutes of seeing Gal Gadot try on different clothes and some really shoddy humour.
All in all, this another generic superhero that has received way too much praise, it's boring--where a superhero movie should be fun--, the plot is contrived, the comedic relief is bad, the things that happen go way too far. I'd put this in a similar basket to the second two Iron Man movies.
