i am apparently guilty of having gotten my hopes up too high for this, given all the early reviews and the stratospheric rotten tomatoes meta score.
admittedly, being a 40-something dude, i was not the main target for this movie.
sfx were good, even if the "real 3d" took a while to get out of its own way. gal gadot was better than expected, and did a fair impression of linda carter in a few of the shots. chris pine was.... i dunno what it is about him that just doesn't work for me, but he always looks both pathetic and untrustworthy.
that was the worst villainous monologuing i have ever fucking seen. like, seriously, it was exactly why i don't read comics or watch movies based on them.
the evil scientist had two things i wish had been handled differently - the internalized misogyny, and the lack of closure (i have a probably-too-dark-but-it-would-work-for-how-the-resolution-was-shaped recommendation)
i'd give it a.... 3.5/5?
