Wasted Potential

Rating: 5/10 (27 April 2019)

Wonder Woman, for a superhero movie such a strong female lead was an incredible let down. The supporting cast was one of the best parts of the film; they were unique, interesting, and showed great chemistry with each other. Gal Gadot portrays the character beautifully and her relationship with Steve is very well developed. The character is exactly what you'd expect and she is pitted against a very interesting villain in the form of Dr. Meru. However the final act of the movie for me ruins it. The actions scenes are well choreographed and very well shot, however, the final fight with Ares is stupid and unneeded. Diana learns nothing throughout the movie and by the end is totally vindicated in all of her opinions. I find the last part featuring Ares to be such a poor way to conclude the plot, leaving a sour taste in my mouth.
