In contrast to most folk, I didn’t enjoy this one, a distaste only exacerbated by seeing that S Mnuchin (our glorious Secretary of the Treasury) was its executive producer. I know I’m in an extreme minority here regarding the film, which pleased summer audiences (including Bronwen). I don’t do gods well. I thought the acting wooden, the plot terrible, and the directing stilted. Blech. Amazon Princess Diana, wonder warrior that she is (the very beautiful Gal Gadot), leaves the hidden island of her fellow women warriors and ventures out to stop Aires, god of war, from perpetuating the slaughter that is World War I. She rescues an American/Allied spy (Chris Pine) and, when the nasty Germans come after him, sides with the Allies. Then she goes out to end the war. The plot and characters are awful and quite deranged. The happy band of misfits who back Diana and Pine are so wasted. Gadot is beautiful but can’t act; maybe she’ll learn or get a role that allows her to. But this ain’t it. The only one worth watching at all except as eye candy is David Thewlis as the pro-armistace British parliamentarian. Spoilers: Pine is probably happy he can’t reprise this role. I love the idea of killing off Ludendorf in 1918 Gee, maybe it’s a different Ludendorff. I am a bit perplexed at the huzzahs from the liberal and feminist reviewers. It’s a terrible film.
