Ugh! This movie is a good example of how not to make superhero origin movies. We'll probably forget it for a good reason after the studios make big money out of it.
I love superhero origin movies. I feel this one might have worked well in an age void of the Batman or Ironman or Spiderman origin stories or even Thor for the heck of it. Well maybe not even then. Those characters did actually look and feel like superheroes you could relate with and they looked real. Imagine Ironman without Robert Downey Jr or Batman without Christian Bale. Nope, DC went down the first time with Man of Steel. And Now This.
You have a Wonder Woman played by Gal Gadot who doesn't even look like she remotely has anything to do with Amazon except maybe the Wood on her face along with the rest of her clan. I get all the glitz and glamour with her costumes and makeup. But if they wanted to do that they should have done a modeling gig or a cosplay shootout and not a movie. And the chemistry between her and Chris Pine is like mixing milk with vinegar, completely forced and unnecessary making the movie curdle up in your face. Even the villain is such a major let down. What's left is a predictable plot with monotonous characters acted by human cutouts headed by a director who slept well through her job.
Costumes and sets are great and cinematography looked fine too but even the fight scenes are boring and atrocious to watch as they lack realism or visual bravado. This all accompanied by the jarring sound track every-time Wonder Woman shows up makes it all the more pretentious towards the audience. Maybe it was the one thing could've saved this movie just like it did in Batman vs Superman. It was unoriginal but somewhat managed to redeem the previous movie only to prove they can't do it every-time.
This movie is at best a commercial marketing gimmick and at worst a complete waste of senses I wished I had the luxury of leaving behind in a heap of thrash notwithstanding the constant bombardment of hype by the media regarding how people are raving about it. Sorry I don't get it at all. I'd rather watch reruns of Deadpool then revisit this again ever.

It's 2015 and we have reached a time when our imagination exceeds our limits. We have watched some excellent and visually stunning space movies like Gravity and Interstellar which not only capture technical details of space travel and survival but also human emotion in midst of it. So where does this movie '2001: A Space Odyssey' stand in all of this?
A film maker or an avid fan who lives in nostalgia and history of film making will find this to be awe inspiring for its level of expertise and techno savvy for a time that had imagined of mankind within grasp of eternal glory through evolution. For me though this very concept of relying on evolution as a foundation has flawed the whole narrative in an otherwise technically superior movie of it's time. May be if Kubrick and his team had stuck to a tale of survival rather than become overly ambitious in their approach they could have made it more believable and relatable. Instead we are left with something that brings you to a high with its visual imagery before coming crashing down back again with an absurd conclusion.
The end product looks more like a pseudo documentary with humans who are mostly monotonous and who do not seem to represent struggles of mankind in space much less our achievements. I could care less for the fate of these humans or that of mankind/species that they represent which is sad considering that this whole movie seems to be attempting to get there.
It certainly does not help that this movie heavily relies on visual imagery which in today's time we take for granted. Unless I take note that this movie was made way back in 1968 when we did not have computer generated wizardry like today I could dismiss this as just another experiment gone awfully wrong in which after some time my mind just shut off like that of the HAL on board Discover One.

This is not a joke. MSG is a god send for all the bhukaa nangaa aur anaath (hungry naked and orphan) and an answer to all paapi and bhrast karam (evil and corrupt acts) of society. Many people have reported getting a miracle while watching this film.
One poor beggar walked into theatre after some lady dropped a ticket of MSG in his begging bowl. In theatre he was seated next to an old man. Old man started having heart attack. Old man died during climax of MSG. Before old man died he gave a big share of his wealth to beggar. Beggar walked out of theater now rich because he watched MSG.
A frustrated couple was standing outside fertility clinic when a mysterious man dropped 2 tickets from a passing SUV. They picked up ticket to give it back but SUV flew away. They immediately decided to chuck their appointment and watch MSG and right in middle of this film a sick pregnant woman with husband in next seat began having labour pains. She and this couple continued watching film with sincerity and baby arrived just in time to watch climax but sick pregnant lady died. Before this lady died she gave her healthy baby boy to couple. So this childless couple walked out of theater with a child because they watched MSG.
Pretty woman was walking down the street outside a court in a lot of distress to catch a rickshaw. A mysterious driver man wearing a turban in SUV picked her up. She told him about wanting to go to nearest bridge. While on their way they were passing a fertility clinic when this man threw 2 tickets out of his SUV. He then dropped pretty woman at a theatre playing MSG and urged her to watch this film with sincerity. On her way inside she dropped the extra ticket in a beggar's bowl. This beggar followed her inside theatre and sat next to rich old man. Pretty woman in distress was sitting next to man with his sick pregnant wife. While watching MSG pregnant lady went into labor but continued watching movie with sincerity and then delivered baby just in time to watch climax with baby and died. Before dying she told her husband to marry pretty woman and gave her child to the childless couple sitting next to her. Pretty woman was recently divorced and about to commit suicide in distress but now she came face to face with her first love from past - sick pregnant lady's husband. They walked out of theatre after watching MSG and got married.
A pregnant lady and her husband received bad news that she was afflicted with incurable disease and terminally ill and would die soon may be even before delivering child. Her last wish was to watch MSG and for doing so she pledged that she would give away her child to couple sitting next to her and marry her husband to a pretty woman sitting next to him. A mysterious man in SUV delivered tickets to her and left without taking any money. Pregnant lady and her husband went to theatre, watched movie sincerely and delivered healthy child which she gave to childless couple sitting next to her. Husband met his old time sweet heart sitting next to him, who was forcefully married by parents to a greedy man. His sick pregnant wife asked him to promise to marry this pretty woman after she died and he did.
Finally, an old man who was rich also wanted to watch MSG badly for a long time and kept praying to get a ticket. All theatres were booked. He thought to himself if I get a ticket to watch MSG I will donate a big share of my money to man sitting next to me. All of a sudden he looked up in sky and saw a SUV flying by and before he could understand a ticket fell on his head. He could not believe his eyes as it was ticket to watch MSG. So he ran to theatre with joy. While waiting for movie to start he found a beggar seated next to him and gave him a cheque of big sum then started watching MSG with sincerity. He started having heart attack after watching at marvelous stunts and action scenes but continued watching happily. Old man died during climax of MSG.
MSG is unique, MSG is mysterious, MSG is miracle and an answer to all your worries and problems. Go watch MSG with sincerity after receiving ticket for free from mysterious man in SUV and get married, or get rich or get child for free too. Go watch MSG and after giving away your wealth, child and husband to strangers in a theatre. Die!
