Politics, No Wonder.

Rating: 7/10 (27 November 2017)

Whether you want to admit this or not, and yes, I already imagine, there is a 99.9% chance you won't want to admit it... probably even 100%; Take the story of Wonder Woman as it is, exactly, but change the title to Wonder Man, make the lead a male, and change the director from a female to a male, and this film's rating will drop from 92% from critics, to 62%... And less people would be calling it the best thing since sliced bread.
Wonder Woman is not a bad movie by any means, but it is nowhere near what it has been made out to be... Not even close. A wasted villain, a very familiar story, a gorgeous Gal Gadot who has limited acting range, but perfect for the role of Wonder Woman nonetheless and terrible CGI.
This movie was a chess move on a political board. It's nothing new, groundbreaking or long lasting... It was what it was. Chris Pine was awesome, the story, though familiar, was nice.
It may seem like I'm bashing Wonder Woman, but I'm not, I'm just highlighting all the very obvious shortcomings that everybody seems to want to ignore... But just because you ignore them, doesn't mean they aren't there.
I mean, just to further prove the political and feminist game that is being played here, Warner Bros. want Wonder Woman to be considered for the Academy's Best Screenplay, Best Director and Best Actress categories. Them being considered for any of those categories is laughable at best, but I wouldn't be surprised if it happened.
I give it 7/10, not because it has a female lead and a female director... I give it that because that is what it earned.
