Awful but a step in the right direction

Rating: 3/10 (6 September 2017)

Thanks to movies like Suicide Squad and Batman v Superman the DC universe is known for its SH*T high budget flops that ooze product placement and awful plots. So I was not expecting anything going into this movie and was prepared to waste 2 hours of my life sitting watching a train wreck of a film.
I was, however, a bit surprised when I watched Wonder Woman as it had some half decent scenes in it. The character interaction between Gadot and pine was believable and surprisingly charming. As well as some of the other characters too. For instance Charlie and Sammy are actually semi decent characters who have a few gags and are given something to do in the film.
The plot, however, is really boring and falls short many times. Wonder woman suspects that Ares, god of war, is behind WW1 and goes to fight him while trying to find out who she really is. See how I just described the plot in 25 wordsthat's how simple and boring it is! There are no lessons learned and no real issues dealt with in the 2 hour time frame.
There is a point near the end of the movie where I thought there would be a moral message about war being caused by bad people and not gods. Wonder Woman had just killed a guy who she thought was Ares and theWW1 did not stop because the god of war was "dead". Chris Pine says that maybe it was not Ares that started the WW1 but just bad people who want to do bad things.
This would have deviated from the norm of having a big boss battle at the end, like in all superhero movies. It would have led to a great message about the evils of humans and I would have applauded it for doing something different. Instead Wonder Woman had to fight Ares and cause as much destruction as possible. So yeah a bit disappointed that they had a chance to do something different but instead took the easy way out with a big CGI action scene.
In fact the action scenes in this movie are pretty poor considering Zack Snyder was attached to this film. Don't get me wrong he is a fu**ing Sh*t director, and I hate that I share a name with him, but he does put effort into his visuals at least. The director for this, Patty Jenkins, just cannot direct a good action scene. The fight scenes are just not interesting to watch and feel slow paced even though it is something dynamic happening in the scene.
To her credit she is much better at character interactions than Snyder. This is clear if you see the interactions between Gadot and Pine in this film, and then compare it with Superman and Lois Lane in BvS. I guarantee that you will see that BvS has the weaker character acting because the director is terrible at getting the best out of his actors on set and only cares about visuals and product placement.
The music for this film is garbage. The Wonder Woman score music that is like her theme song is jarring and annoying. The whole point of a song in a movie is to make you feel a connection to the character or scene you are watching. Wonder Woman's theme music completely takes me out of what's happening every time I heard it.
The actual look of the movie was better than previous DC films. In this they actually tried colour in some shots and not underexpose everything in an attempt to create atmosphere. The editing whilst having a few continuity errors was good as well and certainly better than other DC films.
All in all is Wonder Woman a good movieNO. The plot is boring, the action scenes are boring and the music is boring. No amount of good character interaction is going to make me feel that this movie is good. If DC took the character development of this movie and put together a coherent plot around it, with some good action scenes they would have a great movie. This movie is crap but is a step in the right direction.
