D.C. Is now 0-4

Rating: 4/10 (7 June 2017)

My wife and I went to check this out tonight. We were cautiously optimistic, but a) the DCU has produced three straight terrible films, and b) the trailers looked just bad. However, after the near universal acclaim, we decided to check it out. We knew we were in trouble when the timeline established for the creation of paradise island and Diana's birth contradicted each other. Zeus made the island with his dying breath, then some time later he creates Diana from clay? How can he do that if he is dead? Diana ages over some indeterminate time on the island, but nobody else does, then she is Gal for over 100 years without changing at all. No explanations are provided. Steve is in the Ottaman Empire, steals a fighter plane, then makes it to paradise island in the same plane? The amazons know automatically what Germany is, what the Ottoman Empire is, what guns and bullets are, yet had never seen/heard of any of these things before. They get from paradise island to London in one night in a sailboat and don't freeze in the cold ocean weather. On the sailboat, the feel the need to tell us Diana has read 12 books on sex. Why? She also decides that pleasure doesn't come from sex? Again, why share that? Diana walks around London with a sword, nobody says anything. Diana only really kicks butt after sleeping with Steve, and decides only to fight for love. Say what? Diana disappears during WW2, Korea, Vietnam, etc. She doesn't fight with humanity during any of these events, where did she go? How do we still have war if she killed the God of war? Diana loses her sword in her battle with the God of war, but has the same sword in BvS? Makes no sense! Seriously, this is just a short list of everything wrong with this movie. Why is everyone saying it is so great, when it clearly isn't? It is not even good feminist movie because of the whole need a man, and now I fight for love crap. What the heck people?
