Just finished watching this film.
I will sum up my feelings in 3 GIFs.
Act 1
Act 2
Act 3
Gadot and Pine were great. Most of the cast was, no issue there. This movie had awful green screen and apalling use of slow-mo, projectile-panning and weightless CGI. Basically,
everytime this movie turned to an action sequence it just fell apart. It's visually a hot mess.
Random thoughts:
What a lame "twist", not at all earned
Gadot really is distractingly beautiful
Wonder Woman is a murder machine. For someone who believes otherwise innocent people will stop acting evil if Ares is dead she sure has no issues slaughtering the enemy.
I actually like the main musical theme.
The more down-to-earth moments are where the movie shines
I was expecting the worse from Diana's introduction to modern society but there were fewer Leloo Dallas Multipass moments than I anticipated and it was all executed well.
No, really, fuck Snyder-esque slow-down/speed up bullshit.
The villians were really weak. They never felt threatening. Cartoony. Random power snuff was goofy.
The scene where Diana reaches for her sword when confronting the villian and grasps air because she forgot it was impaled in a carcass, only to have the movie cut away and then cut back to her dropping down to the exact position she was just in (same camera angle), but with sword in hand, was the single worst cut of the film.
Not a terrible movie but it doesn't live up to the hype for me. Very middle of the road. Won't bother comparing to DCU trash so I rate it middle-tier MCU quality.
Oh, No Man's Land? Didn't like it.
