The acting was terrible. The overacting of all (or very nearly all) the extras was especially bad. The reliance on males or a male taking the lead. The male lead almost demanded a co headline, Wonder Woman and the Douche. The inevitable romantic/sexual relationship was like bad porn. Even Dr Poison couldn't be fair and smooth skinned. Why couldn't that character have not been a young attractive woman?

It was basically a showcase of how many issues a woman has to overcome to merely exist in the world. And then for her to still have fight is a form of victory. The ending where she does it for love stemming from Trek-dude is ultimately male reliance.

I couldn't wait for this thing to be over.

It's interesting how many dudes who don't read the WW comics have such an issue with the themes of the film. It's like, just read a goddamn Wonder Woman comic and you'll know what it's about.

You know, that's probably it. And I forgot to mention that in my previous post.

The whole "love" thing is the essence of WW.

And I just really loved how WW was so completely feminine. She wasn't just a damaged woman who kicks all the asses. But she exemplified the feminine in every way. It wasn't just refreshing but revolutionary in American action cinema. I goddamn loved it. And I think the response we're seeing (woman who literally cry at the action sequences) is such perfect proof of that.

Frozen was more successful in almost every aspect. In years to come Frozen maybe studied in schools over this tripe.
