OK let me start out with this: I love female characters - I am a man yes - but I really don't care what gender the character is, as long as it has been well written and performed. I could give tons of examples of movies where the female characters outshine (in my mind) the male characters - but let's just take Guardians of the Galaxy where Nebula and Gamora are my favorite characters... Ok...
You know this is bad when I have to make a disclaimer first right? :-)
I really wanted to love this movie... but... "insert random profanities here"
Ok the first and most important thing to point out is this: This movie seems to be very poorly managed. In fact, the action scenes looks like they aren't all part of the same movie - so I had to look it up. Some of the original action scenes were apparently SO BAD that they called in the guy who did the action scenes in John Wick to RESHOOT them ... and it shows! Those scenes + Margot is the only reason why I even give this movie 3 stars...
The Birds ... holy s... I mean really? They are just so weak it's insane... and no I'm not talking physical strength or fighting prowess - but story telling - or lack there of. Poorly set up, "out of the blue" abilities, lazy lines... It's not even worth going on about it, since I already spend more time on this paragraph than the writers did on this script!
The Black Mask/Roman Sionis - Ewan does what he can with this character, however it is the most generic villain of them all (in the comics) It is just ... WHY THAT CHARACTER? I mean SERIOUSLY DC - you are TRYING to build up the franchise - and on top trying to make this about female empowerment - then why the H... did you pair it with a throwaway antagonist? It makes 0 to little sense - unless you actually didn't care about this movie... which... is... what... it... feels... like. For crying out loud DC...
... And lastly it commits the cardinal sin... it's just not funny. I mean I laugh very easily - and I think I smiled like 2 times through the whole movie and laughed 0. It's a movie with Harley Quinn... how am I not laughing - she is probably the funniest character in the DC catalog - or at least in the top 3...... so how did they manage to make me laugh 0 times?
I literally can't grasp how people are giving this movie 9 and 10's ... Suicide Squad was better - and that says a lot since I hated it! Is it only because of the fact that it has a theme of "female empowerment" ... or is it a "R rated superhero movies are AWESOME ALWAYS" thing? I honestly can't think of anything else....
Love you Margot - but you should never have signed up for this pile of incompetence!

I have never let the whole DC vs. Marvel thing be an issue for me. I like both universes equally - but for very different reasons. This movie is NOT a DC movie. It feels very ... syfy channel with a beefed up budget. The story is so flimsy it's almost unbelievable, the action is VERY "CGI-cartoony", the acting is aimed - it seems - at creating "lovable characters", but fails miserably.
OK we got the American fly-boy, the native Indian, the stumbling and bumbling middle eastern guy, and the crazy jittery Scotchman.... How freaking original! Never seen those characters together before! LOL. The fact that it's the "always used generic Arab"-guy, Chris Pine (who actually plays Kirk like 70% of the time, only less sure of him self and a bit... emo?)... and to top it off the dude from Trainspotting - only furthers to make this whole movie feel cheap and unoriginal!
And Wonder Woman herself... Seriously I love Gal Gadot! She is amazing and probably one of the most beautiful women in the world... Seriously look at her in "Keeping up with the Joneses" - no one could pull off that role better! ... So you should take it with all seriousness when I tell you she falls FLAT on her rear end in this role... and let me explain why:
1: Her "hero-shots" seem too much like "modeling". They spent so much time trying to "show off" Gal it basically takes over the whole focus of the shots, and in many ways makes them seem laughably staged and unnatural! The CGI doesn't help her here AT ALL! If you want a good example of what I mean - notice her hair in the "close up hero shots" ... They CGI'ed it ... it looks REALLY horrible!
2: Her accent and line delivery doesn't fit the character. Again I ADORE her as an actress - but she constantly breaks the immersion by feeling unnatural in the role... It's sort of like George Clooneys portrait of Batman... It's not that George is a bad actor - he just feels WRONG in the role. And YES I'm ACTUALLY comparing the two - because the both left me with that "MAN this movie could have been cool - but something was off"- feeling...
...... this is already TL:DR ... So I'll stop here - but I could keep going... I keep shaking my head when thinking about it... Seriously guys that CGI .......... SO bad! How this movie is getting an 8/10 rating is crazy... I could make tons of theories as to why this is - but SADLY - non of them is actually about the movie... Calling this a mediocre film of this genre is too being nice in my opinion. It tries really really really ..... really REALLY hard to impress, but it's sort of like a puppy trying to do tricks to get your attention - but then it pees on the carpet in over excitement!
