In the movie,they showed how a relationship developed between Steve and Diana.
The funny intricacies of how they interacted with each other, with one, being madly in love with the other. The other, a complete outsider who is essentially like an alien from another planet, never having seen children or a city like ours before, or how women in our society seemed like the 'weaker' sex. This was one of the fun parts, the culture shock so to speak that Wonder Woman experienced. Bewildering and funny.
The highlights of this movie are:
1)Great animation and art, great action, in fact, as good as that from Gotham Knight. Definitely better than Avengers 1 and 2. More detailed than the latest Hulk VS Wolverine.
2)Nathan Fillion did a great job with his voice acting as the flirty, gung ho Steve Trevor
3)Straight forward story telling
4)A darker tone/ more violent than that of your usual DC animated features or Marvel animated movies. I was surprised to see that in the opening sequence, the first decapitation scene appeared. But I was very pleased.
Weak parts of the movie that could have been improved:
1)Background music was not 'grand' enough. When the final epic battle began and carried through, the background music was quite soft.
2)Voice acting of Kerri Russell and Alfred Molina could have been better. Another reviewer had said that Molina didn't sound menacing and strong enough as the god of war. I kind of agree. I think if they were aiming for a villain that was not just plain brawn but very sophiscated, polished, cultured and cunning, yet menacing like Marcus from Highlander:Search for Vengeance, Zachary Samuels would fit the bill in my opinion.
The interaction between the characters were not well portrayed.
3)Sometimes, the jokes seemed forced or out of place.
At first, I felt that this portrayal/drawing of Wonder Woman was like a drag queen too. Based on the promo posters and advertisements.
But after watching the movie, she doesn't look that bad. Maybe she doesn't look like the usual soft curvy feminine facial features of a girl in cartoons, but more of the angular and tough girl look.
I don't think she looks like a drag queen.
Not that bad. Not as bad as giving Superman those ugly 2 vertical lines on his face in the Superman
oomsday animated movie.
Anyways,I'm keeping this in my collection and wouldn't mind watching it a few more times.
