Wonder Woman (2017)

Good story, the script so & so, bad directing... that's what gets "Wonder Woman" from what could've been excellent to average consumerism...

I'm not sure I should say much more. I could get a tast of the best part in the movie because the trailer didn't give away the story. Well, as a short summary, Diana, the Amazon princess, moves from a very very remote island directly in the middle of the first World War. Decided to put an end to the global conflict by killing Ares the God of War himself, Diana teams up with a pilot/spy from the allied army. And like that we're getting in the front lines of the battle, and more of what's going on we can see in the movie...

The story is good (not very good) if we ignore a whole bunch of made up stuff, way out of the real version. From portraying the Amazons as a pro-peace nation, up to killing the evil general Ludendorff on the battlefield - that was a real character by the way, died of liver cancer quite some time after the war. The script is full of cliche usage (sort of expectable). The big issue though come form the directing, where leaving aside the ton of exaggerated slow motion (just to put a blame also on the editing), we actually have a major problem with the acting. And yes, the blame is on the director, because from what I've watched I can't believe the issue's with the actors but more with stupid instructions that led way too often into scenes where we have almost more over-acting than in a silent movie. Besides Chris Pine the lack of keeping it in the realms of natural is visible on everybody. I don't comment this too often, but here was way too obvious...

Rating: 3 out of 5 (really on the edge, and most probably subjective...)
