Mildly entertaining. The best bits where during the planning phase in London when character nuances had a chance to surface. But I had a running list of complaints.
- Did it not dawn on them that if Ares never returned, they would all die off in a generation’s time, you know, since there were no men around to get them pregnant?
- Their home island made use of too much CGI. Might as well have been a cartoon.
- Training with real weapons would have surely led to accidental beheadings and dismemberment. Where were all the disfigured chicks who failed warrior academy?
- When WW dives into the ocean to save the pilot, she misses certain death on the rocks by a few feet. Does she have sonar? That’s not a dive I see them practicing.
- I don’t care how important your mission is. If you wash up on the shore of an island full of sexy Amazon ladies, your new mission is to enjoy every second of the rest of your life.
- Did anyone else not feel like this was a direct ripoff of The Truman Show?
- One bad guy kills himself with cyanide to avoid giving up secrets whilst the others are knocked out, readily available for questioning. Do they bother? No.
- Crossing No Man’s Land she deflects a few bullets with her wrist guards, but then hides behind her shield as the gatling gun starts. Um, how did her legs not get blown to bits?
- Why does WW’s sword never have any blood on it?
- In the end, it turns out she’s basically invincible, which renders all previous action sequences meaningless. Everything leads up to two “gods” duking it out in a pointless fight.
- WW is victorious after she decides love can conquer all. Heavy stuff.
