Overrated film that is average at best. A little better than BvS.

Rating: 5/10 (7 July 2017)

This movie does so many things wrong it is just too hard to believe all the praise it has gotten. Some even calling it the best superhero film of all time. Not even close!
I'm not going to type a summary of the plot but I will give my pros and cons list, or as I like to call it, faults list.
Pros:
+ Gal Gadot did a fine job as Wonder Woman, and a great role model for powerful independent women.
+ Chris Pine was great as well, although he sort of acted as himself same as any movie he was in, but it worked.
+ Some funny moments here and there.
+ The battle on the beach was well done and some later fight scenes had good choreography. That's it as far as good things to say about this film.
Faults:

Diana's mother forbidding her (and only her) from training for a stupid reason, and then changed her mind in a second.

You could easily tell how fake the Amazons' accents were at the start of the film.

Diana learned so many languages of the outside world while never leaving her home that is hidden with nobody getting in or out. I guess there were secret shipments of language books from Amazon.com going into the island.

You never see a weak point for Wonder Woman during the film. She was basically invincible.

A dreadful interpretation of WW1, a catastrophe with so many dead on all sides. The movie simplifies it as: The Germans are the evil bad guys and can be killed without remorse, and the British are the good guys.

The Germans are speaking to each other in English throughout the whole film. What?!

Overuse of slow motion during the fight sequences.

The CGI at times was so bad it was comparable to that of the low budget CW DC shows.

The twist revealing the main villain was so badly executed. The casting choice was a no-no in my opinion, not to mention the battle was more of a video game than a film, and every word he said during this battle was cringe-worthy.

Ares has Zeus's lightning powers for some reason.

Ares kept telling Diana that humans choose to be evil and that he does not force them to, yet once she kills him the German soldiers drop their weapons and become good people.

Steve Trevor decided to commit suicide for no reason. He had control of the plane containing the lethal poison, which he could have gotten rid of in so many ways, but he decided to fly high up in the sky and blow up the plane with himself in it.

I do not understand all the praise this average film has gotten from the professional film critics. Perhaps they were afraid they would be considered as "anti-feminist" and would be boycotted by everyone if they had given it a low score?
