First, Gal Godot is absolutely stunning and it is really hard to watch the movie while she is on the screen because she is just so nice looking. I had to close my mouth more than once.
I will grant that the scene where Steve is imploring her not to give up on mortal humans was the worst inspiration speech ever filmed, it only takes a few minutes from the total package. The action isn't excessively chaotic and you get lots of full on action scenes for the time spent.
The whole superhero genre is corny to begin with, so what? Many of us read the comics in the distant past and are happy as hell seeing how good they make the stories look. The secret is the same as with any other entertainment which is to keep it in the proper perspective. And there really is nothing wrong with putting a woman in an action movie.
Yes I saw it. Twice.
IT SUCKED - BOTH TIMES.
Sure Gal Godot is stunning. Doesn’t make her a great actress or a great storyline. I found her interactions with Trevor to be flat and dull. The storyline is all over the place and they never give the character time to breathe (except for some oddly out of place sex chat on the boat). Everything else is signaling and a by-the-numbers superhero movie. She starts out as the wunderkind on her island, defeating security, inquisitive, and being independent by asking the tough questions but then is made into an naive infantile child who “learns” the truth about the real world thanks to Steve Trevor. Oh and turns out to be a god, which was hidden from her... except for the time on the island where she set off a energy pule that leveled 2 football fields.
I wasn’t expecting shakespearean storycraft here... I WAS expecting to be entertained. I wasn’t - I was bored out of my mind.
