This movie wasn't bad. It had some good things going for it and some bad things going for it. We live in a time where we not only want top-of-the-line special effects, but demand it. Any blockbuster is going to literally awe you. Saying that, I did not lose my sense of wonder at this movie. Everything felt tight, and cool, and dare I say, organic.

Secondly, the acting. The main actor here was a little wooden, but that is something we have come to respect and appreciate. No one is going to win an Oscar which falls in line with realistic expectations of this movie but it was enough to get the job done. The plot seemed a bit far-fetched (what an odd place to put a bomb and an odd way to do it) and that spoiled some of the fun, but when the bus jumps over the highway, you are on the edge of your seat.

Wait, no.

That is Speed.

With Keanu Reeves.

The fight scene was nice.

I'm just saying I think some explanation was warranted - maybe something were Batman pieces together that she's an Amazon or at least gives some hint as to her origin or what she is. It's fine for people like us who are familiar with the characters, but i can't help but feel like someone who doesn't keep up with comics would be left in the dark.

And I think there was a lot of that in this film, too, not just with Wonder Woman. For instance...

Spoiler:

There's nothing wrong with setting up or hinting at future movies, but you shouldn't be so focused on doing that that you neglect to make the core movie you have coherent, and that's what it felt like here, to me.

They gave hints on who she was.

Did you miss the whole part with the photograph from 1918? @_@

I'll agree with the Flash bit though. That part was awkward as fuck.
