Wrong Actor...so so wrong

Rating: 3/10 (24 November 2019)

I found it disturbing that Gadot was cast as the "defender" of humankind when she not only served, but is proud of serving in the Israeli army (IDF). When Steve was describing the death of innocents, women and children while compelled by the lasso, it was a slap in the face considering that army (IDF) has no compunction about imprisoning and killing innocent men, women and children and a former army member is on screen, talking about her experiences. Her "naive" persona, her outrage etc. falls flat for me considering I've seen footage of dying Palestinians that puts any previous war to shame.
Patty Jenkins' decision to cast Gadot (under pressure from higher powers perhaps?) made me cry, as dumb as that sounds.
I can look past the fact that Gadot is skinny as hell (versus WW having the physique of a bodybuilder - think Gal Yates) but the implication that this was the "best" Hollywood could find boggles the mind.
3 stars for the appearance by Chris Pine.
