Most competent DCEU film, also the most boring.

Rating: 2/10 (1 May 2019)

Perhaps the biggest problem with Wonder Woman is the hype. I was promised a good viewing experience, but what I got was a tedious slog.
While Wonder Woman manages to be the most competent film the DCEU, it's also the most boring. BvS and Suicide Squad may have been disasters, but it's possible for one to find enjoyment in such unbelievable levels of incompetence. There's a point where a film becomes so incomprehensibly inept that it ceases to be a film, and turns into some kind of performance art. Wonder Woman, unfortunately, never reaches that point and remains so painfully mediocre it's not even fun to watch as a joke.
Wonder Woman reportedly had a budget over 100 million dollars, but one is left wondering where all that money went, as the it's filled with some of the worst CGI in modern cinema. None of the jokes made me laugh, but the CGI in Wonder Woman had me in stitches, and that's before it devolved into the usual DC CGI mess at the end.
The final nail in the coffin of Wonder Woman as a film is that it chooses to end with one of the worst looking and tensionless CGI boss fights in modern cinema, rather than exploring more interesting ideas present throughout the film.
I'll give credit where credit is due. Both Gal Gadot and Chris Pine make the most of the script they were given. Unfortunately not even their serviceable performances could save this film from being a 140 minute snooze-fest.
While Wonder Woman proves to be the most competent film in the DCEU, it also proves that it's better to be hilariously incompetent than painfully mediocre.
