Wonder Woman: should have waited more!

Rating: 7/10 (3 June 2017)

Wonder Woman? Felt more like a 'coming of age' teenage melodrama, with a DC Superhero tag draped over for decoration. Plenty of adolescent characters exist for that purpose in the DC Universe.
But this is Wonder Woman we are talking about! The quintessential feminist icon from the comic realm. Feminine charm & grace going hand-in-hand with super strength and badassery.
But apparently, DC has resigned itself to the fate that it is secondary to Marvel when it comes to the Cinematic Universe. Film after film dropping far below expectations, completely falsifying anticipations that have built up for decades. Continuously handing over the directorial job to people not fit for that purpose.
This sheer non-seriousness on the part of the DC administration almost feels like villainous in intent; as if DC itself is the greatest villain of its universe, destroying superhero after superhero with half-baked ideas, unnecessarily long scripts, and predictable story lines.
Hats off to Chris Pine, outshining everything else in the movie and for appearing more radiant than even Wonder Woman in certain scenes.
Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman fits the look and personality, but with limited acting range (one could count the number of her facial expressions on fingertips!) and an unfit screenplay, she comes off as only a shadow of the 'Amazonian demigoddess'.
