An action movie with no action

Rating: 4/10 (30 March 2019)

Wonder Woman is not a wonder; it's insanely boring, with scene after scene of either talking, walking, or talking while walking. The opening act on Diana's island goes on for far too long, with endless repetition of:
"I want to fight!"
"You can't! It's too dangerous! You don't know the truth!"
Come the climax, there are few (if any) surprises left.
The action sequences are few and far between, damp squibs that attempt to compensate with excessive use of slo-mo (revealing Zack Snyder's firm hand in the production).
The movie riffs too heavily on Marvel's better efforts - god-like fish out of water (Thor)? Check. Hidden island of peace (Black Panther)? Check. Shield-wielding war setting (Captain America)? Check.
It's a female empowerment movie that still feels the need to give the protagonist a white, all-American love interest. Bizarre.
Overall, Wonder Woman is at least 20 minutes too long (like all superhero movies these days), deathly dull for the most part and confused in its message. Not one I'd watch again.
