A pathetic copy of both Captain America AND Thor!?

Rating: 5/10 (4 June 2017)

I have recently joked that I am "switching to 'Team DC' due to all the politically correct BS in Marvel's comics that is slowly creeping into their movies (changing characters' gender, sexual orientation, etc.); in all seriousness, I do think DC movies tend to have better stories than Marvel movies...until now! The story-line of Wonder Woman seems like nothing more than a blend of Captain America (1) and Thor (1); Diana comes from a world of gods, journeys to civilization on Earth (Thor), at a time when we at currently at war (Captain America). The resemblances DON'T stop there though. If you recall the ending of Captain America: Steve crashes the ship in the ice to save others while on the phone with Peggy (all-the-while looking at a picture of her); in Wonder Woman, Steve (Chris Pine) blows up a plane to stop a deadly chemical warfare gas from being unleashed, and Diana/Wonder Woman looks at his picture at the war memorial afterwards...seems familiar???
Also, if you've seen Daredevil and Elektra, you'd probably agree that Elektra's brief part in DD was better than her ENTIRE solo film; i feel the same about Wonder Woman's part in Batman V Superman (compared to her own movie).
Lastly, as a lot of people said about Deadpool, I felt that Wonder Woman (the movie in general, not WW herself) tried TOO hard to be funny at times.
If it wasn't a copy, I'd probably give it a 6/10 (passing by college standards); it wasn't anything new (an origin story), it was slow (but most DC movies seem so the first time around; I'd have probably changed my review later like I did with BVS, and not nearly as good a story as something like BVS.
All in all, I set my expectations high with ALL DC movies, and this one fell short.
