If they were going to shift the focus to one of these villains, it would have to be Cheetah because she felt the most human of the four leads in spite of the cheesy ‘clumsy’ routine she’s introduced with. Barbara’s transformation into Cheetah features much better pacing, with a slow shift away from her humanity into a feral predator and corrupted version of Diana. Even after stretching out the explanation of how Lord’s wish giving powers work they still don’t make a great deal of sense and we get a sudden lurch when we go from getting the hang of the powers to full anarchy in Washington DC. It’s an immensely clunky story that takes weirdly long for things to happen given it all boils down to ‘magic rock’. When Diana and Steve catch on to Lord’s scheme they go after him, and eventually Barbara who sides with Lord. The monkey paw cost of this is Diana losing her powers unless it’s inconvenient to the plot at the time. He looks like the other dude, but because Diana ‘sees’ him as Trevor the producers are able to cast Chris Pine again. Originally the wishing rock was sought by TV personality and con-man Maxwell Lord, who charms Barbara to get his hands on it and wishes to…become the rock? Now with the power to grant wishes and take something in return Lord seeks to cement his power by reaching a global audience.ĭiana, meanwhile, has accidentally wished for deceased love interest Steve Trevor (Pine) to come back, which he does by inhabiting some random guys body. Diana’s insecure colleague Barbara wishes to be like her new friend, which imbues her with powers but makes her mean-spirited. The truth is that it’s a magical rock that makes wishes comes true. The artefact heist Wonder Woman prevents at the beginning included a crystal initially thought to be worthless. If Wonder Woman was superheroing around for this hour and half we wouldn’t mind but instead it’s all origin and set-up for Cheetah (Wiig) and Maxwell Lord (Pascal), which ends up being pretty darn contrived. After foiling a heist from mostly off screen in the prologue, it’s a good solid hour before our villains and conflict are established and almost 90 minutes before we get an action scene. It’s not a bad film but it takes a seriously long time to get momentum. With Wonder Woman established as a character we can involve her in a more personal conflict, and not pull the usual superhero misstep of increasing the villain count while bringing back past characters and leaving the whole thing feeling bloated. Diana Prince (Gadot) is learning her place in a world on the brink of destruction, with her nobility and strength lifting her above the nightmare around her. Review: What was really nice about Wonder Woman was the straight-forward concept. The world is suddenly put at risk when the insecure Barbara Minerva and greedy Maxwell Lord get hold of a magic wishing stone. Plot: Diana Prince is living a lonely life as a secret superhero in the 1980s.
