Speaking of Marvel movies, one complaint I have with the movie is how meh Ares was. He had like 10 minutes of screen time.


That's one of the few flaws of this movie. I kind of saw it coming from a mile away. Whenever Diana just mindlessly said we need to go to Germany because that's where Aries would be, I thought "why could she say for certainty that Aries was on the Germans side? Maybe he's somewhere else and supplying them from a distance. It's not like the Germans had a monopoly on the evil in the same way they did in WWII".

And then the guy who the movie wants you to assume is Aries is established to have a supplier from the start, and I just assumed the supplier was Aries. And then when that guy showed up to the bar, I was confident he was Aries. Should have just had the German guy producing the stuff on its own.

This is just nitpicking though, and doesn't really detract from the movie.

The whole thing was fricking ridiculous. Geez, you guys.

The last thing I watched in this ridiculous, badly written monstrosity was American pilot Steve Trevor, somehow seconded to British intelligence - already far-fetched - saying that he had uncovered a Turkish scientist who had developed devastating new weapons that could cost the lives of millions.

So he and Diana leave on a boat and she asks him about the war. "Well, it is pretty bad on the Western Front," he says. So off they go.

That is bad writing. It plays the audience for fools. Right? Trevor develops this huge threat that could win the war for the Central Powers.


So they immediately leave.

If you like being treated like a fool, or worse, you can't even tell that you are treated liker a fool, that is your problem, not mine. I am delighted - you just can't imagine - how delighted I am for you if you liked this movie. I am somewhat more discerning and the story has to make sense and be an artistic creation, not just a jumble of words thrown together.

If you can be happy with a movie where pretty people and special effects are the main draw, that is awesome. You are so blessed.
