Definitely a wonder

Rating: 6/10 (6 June 2017)

Wonder Woman is currently one of Warner Bros.' best-reviewed superhero movie for about a decade. I think this movie is overrated by far. The plot was overly simplistic even for this type of film; it was choppy, predictable and stretched out. In my view, the movie doesn't create any drama or buildup to a climax that lures the viewer in. There is no point where you think Wonder Woman will be defeated. What is her weakness? Once we feel she is invincible, where can the movie develop? My view that her chemistry with Chris Pine was far from the quoted "magnetic", although, separately, each of them individually are charismatic. There was a hint of romance between them but that did not develop. Antiope, the Amazons tribes chief played by Robin Wright delivered a stellar performance. Overall, an impressive soundtrack coupled several action scenes and a touch of humor weren't enough to lift this movie off the ground.
