What a huge bummer, I was really hoping for something better. Bat vs Super was horrific, can't believe I actually sat and watched the whole thing. I got up at least 4 times and threatened to leave, but I stayed. I wish I had those 2 hours to give to steemit. Well, my little brothers are begging to see Wonder Woman, so I will probably get stuck watching. I will set my expectations in the basement, thanks for the heads up

You might actually like it if you go in with low expectations. I foolishly set them too high. Report back. I actually hope you enjoy it.
This is what I wrote in my first post this morning:
Okay, I went to see the new Wonder Woman movie yesterday with some of my family. If you want to hear my thoughts on it, read on. I'll try not to have any spoilers but as everyone's definition of "spoiler" is different I can't make any promises. And please remember that these are my opinions only.
Firstly, let's talk characters. I thought the casting for the main characters was very well done. I felt like Diana Prince was perfectly portrayed by Gal Gadot (gorgeous bombshell of an actress) and if anyone was ever a great fit for playing Steven Trevor it's Chris Pine. However some of the side characters (particularly the friends of Steve Trevor) were a little bit bland and forgettable in my opinion. The villains also seemed kind of drab and not at all intimidating.
Secondly, the plot; I think the time period and setting seemed spot on but the storyline lacked realism in some areas. I mean, I know this is a comic book movie, but still it could have been more original.
Lastly, the movie overall was a little bit long with what I'd consider some slow spots. There were a few good laughs but not nearly as many as I'd have expected on one of Chris Pine's movies. I will say that I was pleasantly surprised at it's comparison to the other recent DC movies such as Batman vs Superman (eh hem....."MARTHA!!!") Yeah, the "Batfleck" just didn't work for me.
In conclusion, the things I liked about it outweighed the things that I didn't so I'd give it a 5.5 out of 10. While it wasn't a movie that will make my ultimate favorites list anytime soon, I did enjoy it and it could have been so much worse as we all learned from past DC movies.
Awesome analysis. I think I missed one huge point in my review. If the movie were 30 minutes shorter, I would have liked it much more. There were plenty of slow parts they could have cut and that would have made it feel more "action packed".
At least DC is making progress.
It seems like you enjoyed your experience. I am glad you did (and I did't ruin your weekend plans) ;)
Do you have a link to the post? Can you drop it here?
Found your link. People should read this for a different point of view.
