Warped and too lengthy

Rating: 2/10 (11 June 2017)

DISLIKES
1- This movie is far too long and inflated with unnecessary lines. Diana is too preachy; her self-righteous monologues and dialogues contribute nothing to the film, to the contrary, they rob the viewer of the suspense and enjoyment of the film.
2- This is a fantasy/action movie but there is not much action and, the mixing of fantasy with an element of warped history does not help either. Of course the producers were aware of what they were doing. They deliberately depicted the Turks as the partners of the Nazi Germans who developed chemical weapons during WWI. Sorry, I am not a 5 year old and I know for sure that Nazi Germany had not existed until 1930s and the Turks had stayed neutral during WWII. Actually, to the contrary of what the movie shows, the Turks saved a lot of Jews from the hands of the Nazis. If the producers were looking for a Nazi collaborator, I wonder why they didn't chose a different nation who indeed helped the Nazis during the war e.g Switzerland, Sweden, Italy or Japan...I wonder if John Kerry used his influence over the Hollywood producers when he met them last February. Of course, one should know why the US has created so many superhero Hollywood characters. Such superhero characters have merely served towards the US's goals during the 40's, 50's and the cold war era against the Soviets (Capitalism V Communism). By the looks of it such superheroes will serve the US's foreign policies for a long long time to come.
3- The message of the film is rather laughable considering the number of people Diana already killed, her shouting about love at Ares was particularly silly at this point. First kill and then send love messages. Yeah sure... We have seen this scenario in real life indeed. No, the world does not need a superhero thank you Bush, Obama, Trump, Kelly...
LIKES
1- This is not a low budget film by any standards. Costumes, special effects etc were all good.
2- It is good to see a strong female superhero amongst the male dominated superhero characters.
3- Fighting scenes were good but I would have expected to see more of them.
