So I decided it was time to put aside my childish optimism and do an honest review of Wonder Woman. Is it really as good as everyone claims, or have we been lying to ourselves? Let's find out.

  • I like to imagine that Drinker gets so hammered that he doesn't remember anything when he gets sober, and doesn't even know he has a YouTube channel. He just constantly wonders why he gets a tidy little check in the mail every month. Maybe he watches this channel, too. Who knows.
  • The best thing about this movie is the heroine isn't forced to forego every aspect of femininity to be a heroine.
  • "It's stuff like this that gives my country a bad reputation." A+ deadpan delivery.
  • Fun fact about this film is that Steve is the real hero: no super power, very fragile against a numerous enemies, selfless, focused on the mission which will save millions, knows his limitations and was willing to sacriface himself knowing the cost of it.

    I was a huge fan of everything up till the end. The Ares fight scene was not satisfying.
  • Wonder Woman is still better then Captain Marvel
  • Ares arranging the armistice actually makes a strange sort of sense, since the Treaty of Versailles was so punitive and generated so much ill will in Germany that it may have helped cause the outbreak of World War II, which was a more catastrophic and widespread conflict. But I don't know if I can give the film that kind of credit.
  • The 1970s Wonder Woman TV show was arguably the first time the super hero genre had been fully realized. It was faithful to the source material in both casting and costume. It also had high production values, a dutiful stuntwoman, and it wasn't played for laughs. The show wasn't perfect, but it's deserving of more respect than you're giving it. Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman and Christopher Reeve's Superman are the foundation on which today's super hero television and movies are built on.
  • Movies in current year: Writing is hard and we need to wrap this up.
  • Two thoughts always bothered me throughout the movie: 1) Diana's shield is way too small to be effective against massed gunfire and 2) Why the hell would Ares want to kill all humans? He is the God of War after all. No more people = no more war. He motivation is inconsistent, at best.
  • In the comics, at least in the 1940s, Wonder Woman’s island was technologically advanced. They had a ray gun that healed all of Steve’s injuries and the Amazons were aware of the outside world. She even did a competition to send Steve back to his world. It was only in the 1980s and onward that they decided to go a more primitive route.
  • My take on the end is that Diana finally became mature and fully aware of what she is capable of with her powers. She had that capability since birth; her mother kept it muted.
  • "A thought occurred to me when I woke up in my bathtub this morning... 'where did all the gin I used to fill my bathtub go'?"
  • In before Warner Brothers copyright strikes this again
  • The thing with Ares brokering a peace treaty actually makes sense. The Treaty of Versailles was so harsh on Germany that it helped to cause WW2. Also, during several wars throughout history the fighting has gotten so bad or gone on for so long that both sides have temporarily stopped fighting and helped each other, so everyone "hugging it out" at the end is actually believable.
  • The deceitfulness of human nature was an awesome message, and they totally undercut it with the Ares reveal at the end. Such a great setup and no payoff.
  • “D.C. are getting their act together” - birds of prey comes out 1 year after this video
  • One of the problems I had was with Steve Trevor. He just didn't feel like someone from the first world war. He seemed too modern to me.
  • @vigil2150
    "DC are getting their act together" Oh boy that statement did not age well at all...
  • I don’t think it’s fair to criticise the Amazonian’s lack of technological advancement. Sub Saharan-Africa, the Americas and Australia are great examples of how technological stagnation can occur when you have little to no contact with the rest of the world and are left without any form of conflict like occurred in North Africa, the Middle East, east-Asia, and Europe.
