The "Best DC film" doesn't make it a good film

Rating: 5/10 (24 June 2017)

(Spoilers)
The film starts off great. Diana's origin story and her life on Paradise Island is well told, and the unexpected casting of Robin Wright made me excited to see this film. Even Chris Pine's entrance into the film is good; but then they leave the island, and all of their great storytelling goes in the garbage can.
The screenplay and characters from that point on are recycled from other films. The only thing that separated the antagonist in Wonder Woman and Darth Vader from Star Wars is a breathing problem and a glowing sword. I like Gadot better than I thought I would, and the effects are cool, but the screenplay simply sucks. Wonder Woman becomes a weakened "fish out of water" story for way too long, and the love story seems forced and thrown in at the last minute.
I know I'm going to fork over more cash for Justice League, but so far in hindsight, not one of the DC movies has deserved a penny of my money.
