And there was dialogue that actually sounded like it was spoken by humans rather than robots programmed only to angst! That alone is an Oscar-worthy moment for DC movies.
Overall, this looks pretty solid, so I'll focus on the negatives. Because I am
rude.
1- We need to kill everyone responsible for creating movie trailer music. It's all some
rude hybrid of dubstep and stuff that belongs alongside rainy mood. I need to find whomever came up with that idea, and break his fingers one by one until he tells me why he inflicted that on the world.
2- This appears to be a WW1 setting movie. I guess to differentiate it from Captain America (though if that, then why the shield? No. Seriously. Why does she have a shield?), but the WW1 history should never see the war drift near Themyscira's waters.
3- No establishing shot of a strong villain for Diana to fight. You need a worthwhile villain for a movie like this one. Something that's more than a superhero joining a war not her own and slaughtering otherwise innocent soldiers. Sure, Man of Steel involved a bunch of people being murdered for no good reason, but that's part of why it sucked.
4- No motive establishment for her to pick a side in a war between countries she doesn't even know exist. Because it looks like all she's got is "this dude I like is on one side, so I'll join that side!"... and that... not great...
You can get away with "killing Nazis because they're
rude Nazis", because they're
literally Nazis... but let's be honest, the Central powers weren't exactly the pinnacles of evil or anything... you need a deeper cause than "dude (or babe) is hot" for an iconic hero like Wonder Woman. That works for caricature heroes like James Bond, sure, but not
Wonder Woman.
So, in the end, I rate this trailer as okay, and class this movie in my "it might turn out not to be complete
rude" list. Which is high praise for a DC title.
