Rating: 5/10 (23 June 2017)

I think this movie could have been more enjoyable without the forced and faint social message approximations sprinkled here and there. These messages need be given against the background of an intellectually strong script in all its aspects. Otherwise, they do not go beyond being common platitudes that seasoned audiences are tired of seeing and watching. Apart from a yawn, however, the desire to integrate these banalities into the movie provokes glaring discrepancies in character development. We are expected to stand in awe as an Amazon, who received war training since she was a little girl, engages in anti-war tirades that neither grounded in experience, nor in reason but in sheer impulse. Granted, some impulsive acts may be admirable, but I think it takes more than that be a hero. Similarly, WW is very touched when she beholds people who have been maimed in war, and at times even expresses sympathy for German soldiers. Yet, she does not hesitate to kill enemy soldiers on the spot during her encounters with them. Therefore, her character falls short of consistency. And a character that is not consistent is no character at all.
