Could have been better.

Rating: 6/10 (28 July 2018)

Filmography - 4/5
An easy score given the time and budget a large production company had for this film. There were bits here and there that were less than ideal but given it's 2 1/2 hour runtime there's a little room for leeway.
Plot - 3/5
There could have been so much more to this story or could have been a shorter film. But with such a simple plot and little evidence of any co-occurring events, it leaves the audience guided down a paved street with nothing to distract from the somewhat one-dimensional narrative.
Character - 3/5
Some hit and misses. While many say that Diana's character is representative of the island she comes from there is a lot to be desired in the movies ability to show this. There is no excuse for her lack of social graces, or her inability to communicate with others appropriately, or even her lack of forethought. Surely being what can be considered royalty and of a warrior society, even on an isolated island as she was, still requires dealing with general politics and disagreements, learning tactics and dealing with differing opinions.
Steve is a pessimistic realist counterbalance to Diana's optimistic naïveté, understanding the facts of war from hands-on experience. While being a significant part of the film, most of his screen time was spent reacting to Diana's actions. His actions, in the end, were heroic and human, though with a superhero next to him there was probably a better option.
The side characters - despite their small appearances and lacking background - can sometimes come across as more interesting than the main characters, and for a superhero movie that's unimpressive.
Soundtrack - 4/5
It's a DC movie with a large budget, thankfully with someone who knows music on their side.
Enjoyment - 3/5
To be fair, it took me two times to finish this movie, the idea and filmography were great, the actual end result had room for improvement. It was drawn out, simple and one-dimensional with a lacking plot and no interest in world building.
Overal - 6/10
A very standard Hollywood film, even with superheroes. I wonder how many days it was from Steve and Diana meeting till the end, a whirlwind romance of no explanation, seemingly for exciting power-ups at the death of their love. If she had not loved Steve, or if it was any of the others, would Diana have lost in the end?
