How Did This Get A Rating So High?

Rating: 2/10 (22 July 2018)

I finally saw WW and was expecting good things since the high ratings. But I was greatly disappointed. Too many things wrong with this film. The script above all was very weak and so many aspects were predictable and even for a comic book story, just too unbelievable things would turn out the way it did. Acting was acceptable but was stunned at how poorly Gadot acted. I kept seeing rave reviews but just didn't see it - her performance was stiff and felt she was reading cue cards just off camera. Things fell apart pretty fast as we meet the women on her home island. Not sure how we can meet women raised their entire life on one island with so many different accents being used. How in the world did Diana acquire a French accent? Very strange and at times was laughable. By far the worst part were the special effects. For a normal movie, it was average - but considering it was a comic book action film, it was just horrible. Nothing looked even remotely realistic - like a poor job of Photoshopping. Why DC makes their big fights scenes dark and hard to see is beyond me. Don't buy the hype, this is an average film at best.
