Underwhelmed but entertaining.

Rating: 6/10 (6 June 2017)

I know I'm probably in the minority but for me Wonder Woman was not all that. Let me start with the good. 1. Gal is FINE! 2. The fight scenes were pretty cool. 3. It had a decent villain. 4. Gal is FINE! Now the bad.
1. I felt NOTHING. With Logan I felt something. I was connected With Ant Man I felt something (Joy) In Wonder woman, I cared so little about every character that no sooner than I left theater the film didn't register. This was the biggest one for me.
2. I didn't know the origin story but by the time Diana left the island without being "told the truth" I figured the sword wasn't't that big of a deal. It was also pretty obvious that the guy they wanted us to think was Ares...wasn't't. I was however surprised by who he turned out to be.
3. The only thing more irksome that Robin Wright Penn's accent was the contrived romantic and comedic elements. A few examples..."What's that?" "Oh, it's a watch" #CRICKETS The whole sleep with each other thing on the boat...#AWKWARD
4. The numerous things that made no sense. Exhibit A) Is it me or did it feel like the sole purpose of Steve's suicide mission was to serve as a catalyst for WW to get mad? Was there really no other way of disposing of the bombs? Exhibit B) It was established that gas masks were useless. I guess the British speaking German bad guys didn't get the message. Exhibit C) Since its creation, no one has ever stumbled across their island? There are a ton more nonsensical things that could have been put together tighter.
5. Continuity errors are common in films but how glaring was it when within a matter of seconds it went from daylight to pitch black? Think, motorcycle chase in Dark Knight Rises.
I would have liked...back story on The chemist or anyone. It would have been cool to see more of the Gods...maybe I missed a few things, I dozed off no fewer than 3 times. Is this better than B V S? Yeah. Is it the best DC film so far. Maybe, but it does not approach Dark Knight greatness.
SCORE 6.5/10
