I feel like Wonder Woman has turned into this huge film in the constant battles of social justice. The character is defined as being basically THE strong woman, able to do it all and do it all well in a world where men try to tell her she can't. To not like a movie like this is tantamount to admitting you're a sexist pig.

Whelp.

To be clear, I don't think this is bad, I just don't really get the hype. To me it's just another tonally inconsistent DC movie that is clearly wanting to be one thing but just isn't. Wonder Woman is a great character and this whole time it feels like she's being lead around by guys and told what to do. The villain is super generic, the final fight is a snooze and the gags just don't do it for me.

This is super frustrating because Gadot is a specTACULAR choice for Wonder Woman. She looks the part, fits the role, she's the perfect modern choice for the character and these movies just have to be made by DC in a time when they don't have a firm grasp on what they're doing. The performances and the casting here are great but everything around it feels so meh to me.

Despite the above, I'd say this is worth checking out, especially if you have or are interested in HBO Max it's available to stream. I know I'm the minority on this one. People loved this movie and that's awesome, I just don't see it. To me it's a perfectly generic DC comics flick with a solid cast and awful finale.
