I've seen the same film so many times now, the superhero discovering their abilites and saving the whole world in a battle with the bad guy, the end. And sometimes the formula works, wether it's because the film-making, writing and acting is just that good, or because an element is added or style is changed. Here however, we have the basic dumb plot with the same special effects we've seen again and again. Are we really this gullable? Have we been fed with this so long that our best defence for cinema like this is "Sometimes you just want to shut down the brain."?

The style of Wonder Woman is so USA that it feels like a parody. The action shots are too quick and emotionless, I feel like I'm watching actors fight with special effects instead of watching superheroes battling important fights. The music is bland, like the rest of the Marvel Universe Film Series, with the exception of one rocking song played a couple of times during the film (f.e. during a fight in a room with guns and a table). We see no real shine among the actors or the dialogue.

Before I watched this I actually heard it was supposed to be a bit feministic. I found the opposit to be true, what with men and women having stereotypical film traits and the women being scantily clad for the enjoyment of the eye and objectification. What annoyed me the most about this was that Wonderwoman herself, who was supposed to be this extremely powerful superhero with high intelligence, was constantly made out to be dumb and weak. I was hoping that for once a female superhero could have the spotlight the men of the USA superhero genre has, with the same coolness and ability. Instead we follow along as Wonderwoman gets babysat throughout the film by a male character who sometimes actually feels like the protagonist instead of Wonderwoman.

The three stars it gets is for the high production and the dull enjoyment, and the good moments the movie did have.
