Interesting how polarised the reviews are, personally sI liked it but thought like a lot of people that... in summary:
Gal Gadot was magnificent. Wonderful A+ actress. She has found the role of a lifetime.
Kirsten Wigg was not the right casting and poorly written for - she didn't make me think nerd or scary ever - Cheetah was onscreen for maybe 90 seconds? Why even bother then, no tension at all in her.
Pedro Pascal - well cast and did right by the role but Max Lorre was hammily written, started great but got worse and dare I say obvious.
Chris Pine is well used and provides the comedy. He obviously enjoys working with Gal Gadot and the chemistry shows.
The direction was great, I have no problem with the production and execution of the film and Patty Jenkins knows what she's doing.
But the script.... oh my. See above plus not enough action (what there was is excellent) including not supervillain-based combat. Several scenes were fine but just too long, the flying comes too mind - 'very cool!' then 'OK yup we get it' then 'can we now do something else pls?'
I liked the film and glad I got to see it in the cinema too recommend that to all - but if you were to miss it I wouldn't blame you - unlike the legendary first film.
I hope there is a 3rd and they sort the script.
PS: I didn't think it was woke at all, or that he was based on Trump - literally never crossed my mind during or now. Don't bring your agenda to someone else's story people!
