Mediocre superhero film with a miscast star

Rating: 2/10 (23 December 2017)

An overall mediocre movie made by-the-numbers by an unqualified director who only has one low budget film credit on her resume she made 14 years ago. Only reason I can figure why they chose her is that she was the cheapest out of a list of female directors. I could name off more qualified female directors in my sleep. And Warner Brothers obviously had little faith in her because they only signed her for one movie, and that almost never happens.
The movie is made even worse by a totally miscast Gal Gadot. Not only is she a bad actress, she also doesn't fit the massive popular perception of what Wonder Woman - the world's greatest female hero and a demi-goddess - should look like. Gadot is just a pretty face on top of a stick figure. They had to give her a heavily-stuffed and padded costume for her to (literally) fill the role. I never bought her as WW for a moment.
I'm a huge fan of female superheroes, especially Wonder Woman, but she is the total opposite of that character. It's like casting PeeWee Herman to play Superman or when they miscast short, skinny Michael Keaton to play Batman. Even director Patty Jenkins said in an interview that she never would have chosen Gadot.
I'm already looking forward to the next reboot and recasting. It took DC/WB 25 years to get Batman right on the big screen. Hopefully it won't take that long with WW.
