Wonder Woman 2017
The good: Special effects. They knocked the visuals right out of the park. Especially the scene where The bad: Pretty much everything else. Maybe I'm just getting old, but the way what's-his-name behaved around WW was just dumb. He's a grown man, socially gifted enough to be a successful spy, and he trips all over his spaghetti around her. The tired, over-used sex jokes just made me groan. I mean, really, the awkward bath scene and the cliche-as-hell "you don't sleep with girls, tee-hee" jokes on the ship made me want to walk out. And how the hell did they get from the Aegean sea to London in one night in that little boat? By hitching a tug? I don't think so.
Another thing, we're supposed to identify with the Amazons as the "good" side? Maybe I could buy that, but the moment the they attacked. No warning, no attempt to find out who they were or what they wanted, they just straight up murdered a dozen young men for no reason.
One could say that maybe they attacked because they were intruders, but they were happy to accept and even help the spy-guy. With no proof, or even evidence whatsoever they adopted the idea the Germans were under the influence of Aries, instead of the other way around. It's just so dumb. And can we please stop having the Germans be the bad guys in every damned movie?
The verdict: 2/5. Go see it for the visuals and the sexy jewess in the short skirt pretending to be a Greek heroine if that's all you want. If you want more than that, go ahead and pull up a cosplay porno and you'll find a better story, and more skin, for less money.
