The result: What I expected, I have to say beforehand that I wasn't expecting much really. The good side of the coin in this one are the outfits and probably the setting. It's great to see that they finally decided to make a female super-hero movie, but unfortunately it fell short not as a super-hero movie but just a movie. On the other hand, on the bad side there are several flops like the lack of charisma in the characters and also the goofiness and sometimes overacting of Gadot. In conclusion, I wouldn't recommend to spend your time and money on this one, you would probably be bored by the first half, or either overwhelmed by its abusive use of slow-mo effects!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A few comments:

- Most reviewers overlook the most obvious thing about the fight on the beach: there was nothing villainous about the Germans (who were just chasing a spy), so when the amazons ruthlessly attack them without provocation and slaughter them to the last man, it arguably sets a much darker tone than anything we've seen yet in the DCEU. Contra their self-rhetoric, the amazons seem to revel in warfare and killing and make sport of it (after all, their whole raison d'etre is to hunt down Ares and kill him); note that unlike Batman and Superman (who fight with grim determination when the situation demands it) Diana actually smirks cheerfully as she slices terrified German infantrymen to mincemeat, even though they're just anonymous people fighting for their country. This was a very shrewd, very dark take on "empowerment" as an excuse for celebrating morally gruesome behavior.

- Despite Gadot's indifferent performance (she apparently went to the same acting school as Daisy Ridley: "Open your eyes wider! Scrunch your brow up! Good, now pout! pout!"), the character of Diana likewise undermines well-worn superhero tropes. She is notable for her feminine passivity and receptivity; powerful she may be, but nothing she does is self-willed. She merely fulfills missions and directives handed down from Hippolyta and Steve, without knowing or caring about the larger picture (what middlebrow critics are calling "innocence" and "moxie" is really blithe naivete and ignorance). The one thing she does do impulsively is to leap up and gratuitously slaughter some Germans when the opportunity arises, but like I said, the amazons clearly love killing. Her lack of serious inner struggles or flaws to overcome throws her in sharp relief against the other superheroes on offer these days.

- Other tropes are undermined. There is almost no cliche more overworked these days than the Hollywood-diverse squad of sidekicks, but the striking thing here is that they're portrayed with wicked wit as mostly-useless caricatures: the grumbling Indian helps by providing SMOKE SIGNALS, the Muslim poses as a bumbling servant, and the Scotsman just babbles and gets in the way. The fact that the writers slip this by without being called out on these problematic blackface performances shows the true subtlety of imagination that went into the script.

- Similarly, Diana's mission ultimately fails. Yes, she kills Ares, but so what? It doesn't end the war, it doesn't prevent the next (far worse) war, it really doesn't do anything. This leads to the savagely cynical ending where Diana asserts that "only love can save the world" while retiring from heroine work to a life of obscurity (note how when she reappears in BvS no one has ever heard of her). Meanwhile Steve Trevor actually saves the day by destroying the poison gas (a threat Diana repeatedly made clear she didn't care about), making the ultimate heroic sacrifice to actually save lives and change the outcome of the war.

- In Man of Steel Clark overcame humanity's mistrust of his alien nature by proving his willingness to abandon loyalty to Krypton and fully assimilate to American society; the movie ends on a hopeful note that he'll be able to use his power to guide humanity toward a brighter future. Wonder Woman ends with Diana more alone and alienated than ever, withdrawing from the world having failed to save anyone or change anything. Again, this is the kind of brilliant subversion that Suicide Squad was supposed to have.

- Danny Huston looms hilariously over the movie as a caricature of a generic, scenery-chewing face of evil. I definitely think the filmmakes made some bold choices, but they are far from making "warfare itself" the villain as some have proposed; if anything they provide a postmodern critique of that approach by showing how trench warfare -- so horrifying to the men who fought it -- is basically a fun game (and chance to show off) to the indestructible Diana. Huston's deliberately underwhelming and absurd fight with Diana is a blackly comic take on the bloated 3rd act showdown these movies always feel obligated to provide (this is then FURTHER lampshaded by actually giving us a bloated 3rd act showdown, against a literal mustache-twirling Dark Apparition From Nowhere with less gravity than a Final Fantasy villain). - Lastly it was amusing how the Germans were so Nazified despite this being WW1. This itself comments on the absurdity of the whole concept of putting a superheroine (especially a cheesecake lingerie-model superheroine in a padded leather corset) in the middle of a horrific meat grinder historical event like WW1. The point is that the studio is saying "WW1, WW2, Nazis or not Nazis, what's the difference? You think the proles in Dayton (and Beijing) will care? They're Krauts! They deserve to die!". This is black humor at its finest, and makes a trenchant jab at the similar dehumanization of the Other seen in movies like Saving Private Ryan.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. La mejor película del DCEU(que no es decir mucho) y mucho mejor que varias del MCU. Wonder Woman tiene una personalidad muy definida y tiene una química muy buena con steve trevor que le da a la película un aire de romantico comedico. Ademas de que a diferencia de muchas películas del genero de superheroes, esta pelicula transmite un mensaje real sobre la guerra y la maldad en la humanidad(al menos hasta al final de la pelicula.
Pero esos son sus mayores meritos, pues realmente esta muy sobre valorada. No es un 8 o un 9 ni bromeando apenas es un 7.
Tiene un CGI horrible y un uso EXAGERADO de cámara lenta en la acción que le quita parte de su emoción.Ademas de muchos momentos forzados y con un final muy cliché que rompe con el mensaje de la guerra tan bueno que llevaba manejando realmente bien.Ademas de que abusa de la exposición.
Tiene un humor (que aunque aveces funciona y pega) en varios momentos se siente algo forzado como si hubieran hecho chistecitos de marvel. Le pondría un 7, pero el score actual es mas alto de lo que se merece.
Decir que esta peli esta al nivel de Dark knight, es como decir Wonder woman tiene todos sus puntos buenos, y eso ni de broma.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Painfully bad entry into a painfully bad DC universe. Origin story of Diana ,who doesn't know who she really is,raised by Amazons who have no clue what's outside their little invisible island area.
The first hour and a half are incredibly tedious as Diana is at first shielded from harm by her mother not letting her be trained but then ends up being trained to be the 'best there is' .
She then saves Steve and goes off into the war with a rag tag group of character actors to find and slay Aries the god of war and end the second world war.
The direction is pretty bad in this film as there are lots of inconsistencies in Diana's character.
At first she's never seen a man before but a day later she's talking about having read sex manuals.
At first she is a confused girl who doesn't fight when the Germans attack Themiscura and a day later she's a cross between Captain America and the Incredible Hulk.
They do the 'fish out of water' thing for awhile when she first hits western society which is awkward and more awkwardness when they mingle sexual tension in as they go along with Steve.
It is done very clumsily and rivals Amadala's romance with Anikin Skywalker in Star Wars for cringeworthiness. She has a shield and 'the sword that is the only thing that can kill Aries' but thinks nothing of just handing them to a frumpy government secretary to wander off with.
Some warrior.
Occasionally during this they go off and we see a bad general and his evil scientist henchwoman who have developed poison gas to kill everyone .
Oh and they had to bring the plight of the North American native into it as well which was kind of out of place to say the least.
I don't think i'll be watching any more DC films unless they can get Joss Whedon to direct.
Gadot still isn't a very good actor to play WW in my opinion as she isn't strong looking enough and hasn't got the acting gravitas to pull it off.
When they put her in a suit and hat to disguise she just shrinks out of sight and she and steve do a bit of an I Love Lucy type skit thing in a room with the allied generals.
The action isn't all that great either .
See this film at your own peril. Dunno how it gets so many good reviews. I couldn't wait to get out of the theatre personally.… Expand

However it loses all credibility as it becomes clear that in the wake of "bad" DC films like suicide squad and BVS that executives forced this to effectively dance around in the skin of Disney super hero films. Brings the same ridiculousness, rejection of any sort of depth and selling out its own brand originality alienating a large portion of its own gen X fanbase with abundant Anti-grimdark so as to pander to millenials.

Only bright spot was Gadot's performance was better than expected despite that she creates a visual disconnect that makes her "off" as Diana of Themyscira as she has neither the right physique nor facial structure for Wonder Woman. Close, but uncanny valley level of "off". Not quite expressive or emotive enough in scenes where it is appropriate. Honestly it is hard to determine if the problem is her performance is just not quite up to it, Or if it is that she is hamstrung by hokey, cliched writing and/or pandering direction.

Had WB execs not been clearly pulling puppet strings trying to make this into a Disney/marvel production, and clearly doing extensive greasing critic palms to ensure glowing pre release reviews trying to trick the public into an inaccurate perception, then the film would have been a 4 or a 5. However all that is really here is a mediocre film trying to pander to so many demographics such as millenials and feminists that it does not grasp exactly who it is offending and just hopes to snag those demos support to carry into being received far better than it actually is.

When you whittle away the marketing all you are left with is downright boring. Which is the greatest sin any film can ever make because it is defeating its only purpose. Anyone telling you that this film is anything otherwise is lying to either you or themselves and doing so out of being oblivious to social engineering. It is what it is.

0/10 for making a Disney superhero flick with DC properties and trying to pay their way out of anyone noticing before release. Otherwise 4/10… Expand

- "Doctor Poison"? Really?
- Could they not even get an American actress to play an American icon like Wonder Woman? The Israeli accent was a constant distraction
- Gal Gadot is cute, but as BvS proved she's not much of an actress. This is a woman who until just recently was best known for a throwaway eye candy role in Fast & Furious movies.
- The action scenes (super strong woman with shield fighting old timey soldiers) were very derivative of the original Captain America movie. With the superhero market so overstuffed these days it'd be nice to have some original visuals and action, but no dice.
- Chris Pine is totally unconvincing as a ladies' man. He's a decent actor but it's pretty clear (as it was in Star Trek) that he doesn't actually swing that way in reality.… Expand

Would they walk away with a greater appreciation for the character director Patty Jenkins, or would the whole thing be a busy. Turns out, it was a massive success as everyone loved the move, just not me. I loved Gal Gadot's take on the character, despite some early concern that she might not be able to carry a movie on her own and director Patty Jenkins did a solid job directing. My gripe actually lay with the writing. This movie felt like two completely disjointed movies trying unsuccessfully to become one. One movie was about a US military pilot, Steve Trevor and his quest to convince his superiors of an impending enemy attack during World War I. After initially being dismissed, his supervisors discovered he was right all along and allowing Steve to lead a defensive effort to save the day. Great movie. Heartwarming and motivational. It actually felt like something worthy of Steven Spielberg or Christopher Nolan.

The second movie, more fitting for Wonder Woman, was about a warrior amd her quest for self discovery. During her adventure she learns of a secret from her past, thought buried forever, who her true parents are. Admittedly I understand the connection, however, the execution left the film feeling disjointed, as the inclusion of one story greatly diminished the effectiveness of other. I think the movie would've been significantly better if the creators chose to focus more on the titular character rather than interrupt someone else's movie and insert Wonder Woman in a way that felt forced.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS DRAMATICALLY: Many other reviewers have already eloquently expressed the issues with this movie. Perhaps the problem was that the movie had too much responsibility resting on Gal Gadot's shoulders. The idea that finally, having a female superhero could somehow save the DC universe's Justice League curse.

Sadly, the same **** three act piece of **** script was played out here. It's overly long, overly sentimental, and just gushing with sentiments about love. A literal goddess falls in love with humanity - the playthings of her father.

There are nice moments in the first two acts, but the entire German WW1 plot is laughable - maybe so much so that it will eventually be funny. Much much too long, did not pass the 'need to pee' test. You can't have a drink in this overly long movie... the end fight scene alone will feel like a literal millennia and you will be as lonely and sad as Diana herself in your desperate need to pee and your firm belief it has to be over soon.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is just plain awful. The personality of the main character makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. They are trying to portray her as this innocent holy child who has no idea of the world "out there" and believes that every human is intrinsically good and has to be protected. But then for some reason just because some random British guy is telling her yeah the Germans are the bad guys she runs around killing them gleefully to save the British while still talking about how everyone needs to be saved and it's not their fault. Then there's the scene where the Generals say they won't attack Belgium because they want a peace treaty, and she gets enraged at them because they won't allow attacking somewhere although she really just wants everyone to have peace? What? Isn't the point of her peace keeping duty exactly to STOP this "but they have evil intentions so we HAVE to keep attacking them!" attitude?

It never felt like they actually thought a second about how to make this movie make any sense and just rushed out a lazy "cool superhero who just beats up bad guys" origin story, while at the same time trying to make her an innocent "nobody should be hurt if possible" character, which just doesn't go together like this.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I genuinely made a Metacritic account JUST to make a review for this movie. And it is one of the worst movies I have seen in a long time. (SPOILERS) They had Nigel **** Thornberry as the main villain, the Green Screen was anything but professional, they acting was, eh, a 5/10 and I could say the same for the screenplay, cinematography, directing etc. I'm serious, don't watch this movie unless you're a genuine fan of Wonder Woman. By now you should have seen it if so. If not, don't. Also, the whole movie revolves around this woman or "God" will eventually find Ares and kill him without her even knowing her own abilities or who she's facing. All she knows are legends. I genuinely could not recommend this movie less. Also, I would've liked to say that the casting was OK, but that would be a lie. LAUGHABLE… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would like to start off by saying that aspects of this movie really impressed me. The actions scenes were packed full of spectacle as you would expect from a Zack Snyder movie, the choreography and visual design of the scenes were very impressive and really commanded the tone of how powerful wonder woman became through all of her training as an Amazonian, and I think the "modernization" of wonder woman really hit the spot as to what my expectations were of the costume designs and fighting style.

However, in the periods between fighting scenes the movie exhibits a complete lack of direction. The origin story is dry and incomplete and it felt rushed. It seems like they were trying to pack a nice origin story to round off the character and introduce us to wonder woman but by doing that they achieved nothing more than mashing two incomplete stories together and frustrating the genuineness of the relationship between Steve and Diana.

Also, the island origin story is just awkward and non-eventful. Diana leaving the island (her home) has to mean more to her than simply fulfilling some mythological prophecy. For example, a movie like Moana does this well by having the character go through the struggle of leaving home and making that internal struggle carry throughout the movie. Nothing about leaving home is easy but Diana should have let us know how important it was for her to do so. Instead it felt like a teenager wanting to go out for a date night and mom finally saying it was ok.

Some people are praising Gadot's performance but I don't think I can agree mostly because of how poorly written the character was. In fact, mostly all of the character's were poorly written (especially the so called side-kicks). I mean who's decision was it to have the Indian character use smoke signals as his biggest contribution to the movie. They might as well just have had no side-kicks at all with how useless they were at driving the plot and creating foils for Diana.

In general, I think the movie did not live up to the hype. It was a fluffed up, poorly written, characterless movie with absolutely no bite. The script is horrendous and I cannot believe that they were able to get this shot at all given how bad it was. I mean to have a movie about a bad ass character like wonder woman where her best motivation is "love for a man" is a complete slap to all feminists out there looking for a break from seeing men kick ass. And needless to say her love motivation did not fit in at all with the mythology behind the whole movie. It's almost like every scene was written by a completely different person experience a case of writer's block so they grabbed whatever common trope in hero movies was most readily available. The whole point of Zeus and Ares fighting is that they disagree on fundamental things about people. I think they did a lackluster job of displaying this through Diana's character.

Like the more recent comic book Hollywood movies, story telling is a second class citizen and I think Wonder Woman is the clear exemplar of how movies can be so good in one sense but leave us completely deflated and hungry for the themes and characters that shine in mediums other than the silver screen.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I tried really hard to give this movie a chance. I don't like superhero movies generally, but this was recommended to me by others who don't like the genre and thought it had great moments with a female hero at the center and a decent story. Of course, this requires that you are able to ignore inevitable goofs and immerse yourself in the movie.
If I had started watching it after about three drinks there's a small possibility I could get to that place, because Wonder Woman i requires turning off 2/3 of your brain and enjoy some pretty decent cinematography and eye candy actors. Definitely a minimum of drunkeness to ignore the stupid rubber costume that only needs ears and a tail to qualify for the Playboy Bunny Club. To ignore an abuse of Greek mythology that makes Clash of the Titans look good by comparison. (I know this is a DC universe story but COME ON!!) It takes great restrain to limit my comments to the fact that Diana was a ROMAN goddess. ARTEMIS is the original Greek, not associated with the Amazons definitely associated with chastity. (big bummer for Steve there), Ares (Greek) was one of the dumbest gods in the pantheon, and ONLY Zeus(Greek) got to play with thunder/lightning bolts. Then there is the utterly predictable, cheesy dialogue, cardboard minority characters to "round out" the story. Tons of magic bullets, behavior that isn't naive its circus clownish. (Dress Diana up so she blends in, which she gets, but then walks out holding her sword and shield in the most obvious manner possible?! And she's supposed to have a brain under that perfectly coiffed hair?!?) Oh, and a plot that doesn't have holes, it has giant sucking black holes of ridiculousness. For example. Okay, so Diana knows dozens of languages because her barbarian but highly civilized island has been around forever. Great. BUT MODERN ENGLISH DIDN'T EVEN EXIST UNTIL THE 15TH CENTURY. Unless naughty Amazons sneak out routinely to mingle with the mortals, they should only be well versed in languages from 5th century BC. And frankly, if they are sneaking out to bone up on the local lingo, they might just pick up something better than bronze age weapons. Cause, steel is a lot stronger ya know? And those spiffy gauntlets and little shield may repel bullets, but that still leaves the legs, arms, torso and head available for nice messy gunshot wounds.
A second example that had me screaming at the tv screen. Our main characters travel from somewhere (supposedly) in the Aegean Sea to London on a two person fishing punt, no supplies, no food, no MAPS & everybody taking a nice nap after setting the GPS locator instead of steering. It arrives in a few days after encountering a tug boat (?!?!) to pull them up the Thames. If they'd made the Amazons' island a floating mystic thing that travels around the world, it would at least have some shred of internal logic. I don't demand accuracy from a fantasy story, but having internal logic is a pretty low bar to clear and this clunker smacks into that bar head first.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finally went to see Wonder Woman in the dollar theater.

Out of ALL the reviews I read since this movie came out, not one of them….NOT ONE……ever, EVER mentioned that this is a COMEDY! A laugh riot, farcical comedy! OMG!!!! I haven’t seen anything this hysterical since Liar Liar and Batman and Robin!!! All the “good” reviews out there make SO much sense now!!! The BAD acting! The screwed up Wonder Woman storyline! The inaccuracies GALORE!! The laughable and incorrect “accents”!!!! The FLAT CHESTED, DWARF woman playing the Amazon! The superlative BAD, BAD casting! OMG! Patty Jenkins is a COMEDIC MASTER!!! Besides the absolute brilliance at a hobbit Wonder Woman, David Thewlis as “Ares” was divine comedy perfection! To cast one of the best “C” grade actors in Britain as a “god” was indescribably the most brilliant comedic move to date! I laughed so hard, I almost pee’d my pants!!

I think the ONLY actor in the whole movie who was trying to be serious, was the woman playing “Etta Candy”! She was MARVELOUS! She put everybody else to shame!

This movie isn’t billed as a comedy, so I fully expected some actual serious stuff. But after almost cracking a few ribs after watching this enormously hysterical comedy of errors, I can see now why so many people liked it.

SUCH a good laugh! But I have to say, DC has destroyed Wonder Woman for me. And after being such a long time fan and collector, this just completely destroyed everything Wonder Woman stands for and fights for. But alas, even after getting such a good laugh out of this “movie”, I still want my dollar back!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The worst fantasy movie of the 21st century, absolutely, no doubt. Really bad has got the worst, a movie barely could have been so bad as this. I kept asking myself until the last 10 minutes of movie "When will the movie start?". My father and I were standing in the movie theater very hard. My dad has tried to go outside many times, but I've stopped him. But after Ares' death, we've instantly get up and left the theater. DC's really dipped. They've made the definition of disgrace word by creating this movie. Furthermore, Wonder Woman is the most disgusting character/super hero I've ever seen. An ignorant, self-conceited, mindless, non-intelligent, virtueless character. Her armrest bracelets are the strongest thing in an entire universe. Any attack of the enemy has always come to the wristband, this is craziness. So in short I am very sorry to have watched this movie. Always the same things; humanity, goodness. It's over. I think Ares was right. Visuality:0, Sounds:0, Characters:0, Scenario:1.… Expand

Wonder Woman 2016 has a bad script and bad acting from the main character, they just rushed to make another feminist movie but if you look closer you see they got an actress from Israel (GADOT Gal) to play a character that kills Germans (trying to imply NAZIS). Also let's not forget that Hitler was actually a soldier in the German army in WW1 so you do wonder if this was intentional - as a metaphor - for a jewish person to kill him in WW1 !

Ares is killed in the end by this woman & jewish actress - metaphor for Hitler?

Some of the dialog that Chris Pine (playing Chris Pine) is dross. Does he have it in his contract that he has to ride a motorbike in all his films? The 3 sidekicks are pointless in the way that they don't effect the plot in any way. Given 3 stars as GG is really quite beautiful and I love her bond like theme music. Its a real shame that the JL is going to be rubbish too. These are great characters but DC just can't get it right, proved in point by the pitiful amount they paid a female lead for this movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Making a film with a female protagonist doesn't automatically make it relatable to a female audience. I'm a male and even with that going against me I still can't call this film anything but cringe-worthy. Wonder Woman is no wonder. She is simple, awkward, and seemingly her only purpose is to bounce sexual tension off of a male supporting actor. She criticizes french fashion while wearing a corset, oblivious to the fact that she most definitely is already wearing this form of "ineffective armor."

The only time I thought the movie WAS going to have some decent writing was toward the end. We are lead to believe that wonder woman is about to learn a valuable lesson. That lesson being that human beings behave based on their own will and are capable of both good and evil. We can't just blame our actions on Hades. Nevermind. It was Hades all along. All people are good all the time unless a god/supervillain is responsible for their actions. Nevermind the paradox of who is controlling Hades' actions. Ok so Hades is the villain here. So lets throw all artistry to the side and cap off this horrible movie with a shallow special effects showdown. Biggest dumb light wins. Surprise, it's not Hades. All in all it's a mildly offensive bore that follows the expected formula.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Extremely overrated movie. In short :
_ Writing : incoherent, unsurprising, cliché'd, tries to me misandrist and still manages to be an insult to feminism.
_ Acting : decent, except for Gal Gadot, who can't be seriously be called an actress, she's just a pretty face.
_ Visuals : pretty nice but some Wonder-Woman moves seem completely failed, i was under the impression they sometimes just pressed fast forward to give us the impression something was quick, it looks bad on screen.

Clichés everywhere : you have the drunk Scottish fighting in a bar, the Indian doing smoke signals, the Arab who can sell anything, the "Doctor Poison" with the mask, etc ...

Main character, Wonder-Woman, is actually stupid and suffers from a huge lack of depth. She even contradicts herself, talking about "love being the solution" while killing soldiers with a smile since the beginning of the movie (soldiers who were chasing a spy, by the way, not killing innocents). But after all, Gadot was an Israeli soldier proud of the killings her country does, so I guess this part of the plot didn't trouble her.

I can't see why some people see this movie as feminist, it just shows how a woman can do exactly what's expected of her without even thinking about it. The only decisions she makes on her own are dumb are useless in the end.

Talking about feminism. Is it feminism to repeat over and over how superior women are to men ? Spoiler : it isn't.

Gal Gadot is a huge problem for this film, too. it's obvious she's a model, not an actress. All she can do the whole film is trying to be sexy with those eyes or mouth moves. That's not what expected about an actress, or at least not in this kind of movie. She needs to learn the job first, at least know how to reflect basic super-hero feelings like sadness or wrath.

Whole writing is faulty, she failed her mission of saving the world from war but is still happy about it, she makes fun for corsets while wearing one, she wants war to stop but loves it, etc.

In conclusion, this film takes no risk at all, bringing nothing new to the table AND even fails many basic things. And the most sad thing maybe for a movie : it's boring. The good reviews of so many people just because it's a woman on the main role make me sick. This is not a good super-hero film, not a good DC film, not a good film. Sorry for my not-trained in a while english.… Expand

Surtout qu'ici,Entrevue dans Batmou contre Supermou (qui n'était pas si mal pour un film de super héros), on se réjouissait à l'avance de découvrir les super aventures de Wonder nana en tant que rôle-titre dans un film rien que pour elle. Surtout qu'ici, Gal Gadot y est ravissante et très gracieuse, y compris dans sa candeur d'Amazone dans le monde des hommes corrompus par Arès, le Dieu de la Guerre...

Car Diana est une Amazone à l'origine (je ne le savais pas...?!) élevée et née sur l'île paradisiaque des super féministes au rang desquelles figurent Robin Wright et Connie Nielsen, épatantes en femmes mûres, guerrières mais d'une grande sagesse. On s'étonne de trouver autant de femmes de couleur parmi ces Amazones mais le diktat de la "diversité inclusive" au forceps est passée par là, faisant fi des légendes hélléniques. Mais l'inclusivité touche aussi la méchante armée allemande puisque le gaz moutarde est développé par une fille à la gueule cassée !

Le film exploite assez maladroitement la candeur de notre chasseresse (allusion à Diane, je présume ? tout est mélangé dans ce bordel hollywoodien) et tourne un peu trop souvent à la farce de bas étage pendant une bonne partie du film (c'est pénible).

Eventuellement, Diana se fait fort d'aller ramener la paix dans le monde des hommes et se charge donc de gagner cette première guerre mondiale (hallucinée) pour DC, là où le Capitaine Amerloca s'occupait de gagner la seconde (grotesque) pour Marvel. Et là le scénario part en vrille et se traîne misérablement : ça déblatère, ça bavarde inutilement et l'action y est décidément trop rare. Le tout est emballé dans des discours moralisateurs entre Diana et Arès, chacun cherchant à tuer l'autre à coup de répliques ridicules.

L'action -quand il y en a- est très inégale : les quelques ralentis assez jolis étant l'arbre qui masque la forêt d'une réalisation résolument médiocre, aux plans zoomés, mal cadrés et au découpage énervé. A cela, il faut ajouter la triste présence de la tête de noeud, Chris Pine, le médiocre et le cave, l'imbécile et le benêt...

On a donc compris assez vite que Wonder Woman est une grosse machine bâclée, carrément niaise par endroits, débile par d'autres, balourde et très lente qui plus est ! Gal Gadot est merveilleuse mais à l'impossible, nulle n'est tenue, hélas.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wonder Woman is dumbest movie that I have seen. Wonder Woman is so void of any coherent thought and logic, that it makes the notorious Battlefield Earth look like a science documentary by comparison. Staying true to the nature of Hollywood, Wonder Woman tries to hide it's weak script and wooden character development with special effects. Wonder Woman's saving grace, and why the film is not universally despised by it's critics, is only because of it's affirmation to Hollywood's fantasy of social egalitarianism, that is being forced into every dimension of our lives. What Wonder Woman is, is the egotistical Hollywood heads taking a **** on World War I history, and rewriting it into a fantasy that never was. In reality, General Erich Ludendorff was among the earliest to point out the betrayal of the Imperial German Army by Marxists and Bolsheviks, thus resulting in Germany's defeat. Perhaps this is the reason for the absolutely childish demonization of General Ludendorff in Wonder Woman? Walking out of the movie theater, I have come to understand that Wonder Woman is not only a movie, but a symbol. It is a symbol of how deeply the Hollywood establishment despises white christian civilization, and how they are so proud of it, that they no longer even try to conceal it. It is a symbol of their chutzpah.… Expand

The characters are grossly stereotypical... and utterly amoral. (let's not speak of the varying grossly "spoken" accents). Laws of physics & chemistry are maleable depending on what the script requires.

Except for the photography, costumes and music which are providing an excellent support to the movie, the rest is a joke particularly the CGI. Acting is a lolfest.
