Way behind, I know. DC is pretty awful, excluding Nolan’s trilogy, and I stayed away. But I saw the new WW 1984 trailer, saw the first WW rating, and thought, “Let’s dive in.”
93% on Rotten Tomatoes?!
The visuals and action sequences were great for the most part.
The last battle between Ares and Diana was absolutely explosive... in a bad way. Lightning, fire, explosions, metal flying around. It was chaotic and mindless.
The dialogue left a lot to be desired. Something about Gal Gadot’s delivery was underwhelming. A lot of the times, it felt like the big moments weren’t earned. Her final revelation that love is the redeeming and inspirational quality of man was so cheesy. Maybe, it was an essential part of her development. Wonder Woman and Superman feel like the Captain Americas of the DCU. I feel like any time they give a speech, they should have their hands on their hips and look to sky.
The pacing was rushed. It didn’t let any moment sink in and take full effect.
The whole movie felt like “HERO TIME” with scenes in between to get to “MORE HERO TIME”.
I love Wonder Woman... and it’s too bad this movie didn’t do her justice.
Gal Gadot does have the perfect Wonder Woman look though. Absolutely great job on the modern, steely colors of her costume. The first battle scene between the Amazons and Germans was fucking amazing.
But 93%?! Come... on.
