Has heart, but held back by tired "super hero movie" tropes

Rating: 7/10 (31 August 2017)

I enjoyed the movie overall and would recommend it for anyone, except young children, ironically. It has a sympathetic main character with a good arc and some decent action, but it does seem to be borrowing heavily from Captain America. Set during a Great War, stars a hunky blonde guy played by an actor named Chris, centers around a character with a black and white sense of morality slowly learning that there's some gray area in the real world, and has a big dumb ending with a silly villain and lots of explosions. They also rip off the sacrifice scene even though it makes no sense as long as a functioning parachute was on board the plane... and why wouldn't one be?
After the dust settles, Wonder Woman was really just another decent super hero movie to add to the pile. If you aren't totally sick of those yet, give it a watch. It has a girl, so it's different I guess.
