I don't think this is even come close to Catwoman with Halle Berry.



So this movie is gonna be like Kong Skull Island if Kong left the island to be Captain America?

Was an ok movie. I'm glad Matrix bullet time is making a resurgence because it was super tight in the Matrix movies, thanks DC Comics. I didn't quite get what was happening in the ending because there was just alot of yelling and then Wonder Woman remembered she could shoot blue lightning from her hands at the bad guy to explode him.

My favorite part was the general that used the blue herring cocaine gas to make it seem like he was the main bad guy.

Who was the general that was using the cocaine gas that made him super fast and let him fight people? Was it the gas or is he some DC villain also? That gas seemed like a better weapon than the super mustard gas.

General Erich Ludendorff was the lesser half of the Hindenburg/Ludendorff clique that was running Germany at the end of WW1. After the war, he became an early supporter and patron of the Nazis, and marched with Hitler in the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch (Ludendorff was acquitted due to his celebrity).

But since Wonder Woman killed him, maybe the Nazis never got the support they needed to seize power?

Did he also use blue gas he inhaled like cocaine to give him super fighting powers?

Liked the movie a lot, a few 'meh' moments but I really liked the combat, which is also my largest complaint about the end of the movie.

The beginning shows us her training, then we get to see a lot of refreshing combat especially with those shield slides, and the final battle is a couple punches and then just lots of throwing things at each other and then some sort of lightning blast finisher. Wanted to see a brawl with the God of War. Not satisfying.

It was very good use of bullet time, I hope they continue the trend into Justice League.

Has there been any word on why they went with actual historical-figure General Ludendorff as an antagonist instead of just inventing a General von Evilstein character to fill the role? I know it's not a huge issue, but I thought it was kind of weird; like if the bad guys in Captain America had been the Red Skull, and Dr Zola, oh and also Heinrich Himmler.

Please do not make fun of my favorite blue cocaine gas using character of the movie. Just think if he had enough to restore all his power!

I don't get why people call MoS dark. The darkest thing in the movie is the kryptonians raising their entire population with imposed genetic limits to breed slaves but no one ever talks about that and its a small point in the movie.

So at the start of the movie when the German ships attacked the island, did the amazons swim out of the boats to stop them from leaving? Sure they killed all the Germans who landed on the beach but what about the boat captains and all the other personal? Did they just leave? Or are we to assume they jumped into rafts and helped the German grunts storm the beach?

Some bullets are shown ricocheting off her boots. Obviously, we're meant to assume she's adequately protected by the shield and armor. Given the ending, you may also assume supernatural shenanigans.

She's a demigod. The half god part is why she has the power to slay a god. But she's also part Amazon and clearly can be wounded. If she were immune to bullets like Superman, she wouldn't bother with the shield or gauntlets.

There's no part where they call her a demigod of say she is part Amazon in the movie.
