Did you like Batman v Superman?

Rating: 3/10 (1 October 2017)

James Cameron put it better than I ever could, and more favorably at that. The undo criticism that has been castigated on him is all you need to know if you're curious how this movie got such 'rave' reviews.
It's not really and action movie beyond 3 scenes. It's not really a drama, there's a profound lacking of character depth outside of Chris Pine's character, Steve Trevor. Some of that is no doubt intentional, Wonder Woman has always been naive - but that had before always been one of her more alluring traits. In this movie, it seems that's her only weakness.
Superman at least has kryptonite to give us the impression of danger. He might die. This version of Wonder Woman... only way to kill a god is by another god. Presumably Ares and Zeus are dead, so what threat is there to Wonder Woman at this point? There's no fear of 'oh my gosh! Is she gong to make it?' There's no suspense.
Steve Trevor is the hero of this story. He's constantly putting himself on the line, putting himself in danger, and is there every step of the way in the scenes where Wonder Woman decides to put him at risk by doing something impulsive and misguided.
To put it another way - take last year's (2016) Moana. There is no doubt that Moana is the lead protagonist doing the most good, even encouraging the demigod Maui when his spirit and powers were broken. Steve Trevor even fit the role of amazing navigator (remember how he sailed from the Eastern Mediterranean to London in a world where the Germans still have a navy in 1918?) like Moana. Wonder Woman fit the role of Maui, except she was a full on god who's unlocking new powers at a faster rate than Superman.
And that, sadly gives us the comparison to last year's (2016) stinker Batman v Superman which introduced this version of Wonder Woman. At least that movie had action and suspense, if similar poor execution on both. At least there was the question of 'what's going to happen next?' or 'will the make it?'.
It's understandable given outside forces that this movie was able to float. But let's not kid ourselves in pretending this was groundbreaking beyond anything other than it's revenue.
