So very boring and senseless. I can suspend disbelief with the best of them, but I don’t have a magic lasso to suspend this mess from. Characters are cartoony and completely unbelievable. Nothing at all makes sense. The dialogue is painful. There’s no internal logic, with new rules made up whenever necessary. The special effects budget was limited to swinging actresses around on wires. There’s not a scene that doesn’t run twice as long as necessary to further the plot. Basic physical laws are nonexistent. Little Diana’s tiny legs easily outrun long-legged sprinters without moving any faster than them. No one doing anything physical shows the slightest engagement of muscular exertion. The invisible jet flies through what must be a hundred mile field of fireworks, given the time it takes to get through it. Speaking of aircraft, WW jumps up and lassoes an airplane traveling hundreds of MPH, but isn’t jerked violently up to speed, she just glides along as if she stepped onto a mall escalator. Speaking of lassoing things, WW lassoes, and swings from, lightning. Lightning. I know, I know...girl power! Yes! Women can direct and carry superhero films! They sure can, as long as they’re DC superhero films, which all suck (aside from Nolan’s Batmans), so either gender can meet the mark. Marvel can take marginal characters and make quality movies with them, DC can’t work with iconic characters that have been around for close to 100 years.
