Wonder Woman: Walks a tightrope of brilliance and stupidity

[Platypuschow · 4/10 · 23 January 2018]

At only two and half minutes your options are understandably limited so this short decided to take the approach of an art piece, almost a cinematic trailer.

It shows Wonder Womans conflicts in both our world and her own with brief fighting scenes and no dialogue.

The effects are great, everything certainly looks the part and the music is fitting so what went wrong?

Honestly I'm not sure. It may be our heroine, I think she was miscast. This should have been better, but something just didn't feel right.

It's like a beautiful oil painting with a huge tear down the centre, brilliance tainted.

The Good:

Looks the part

Great soundtrack

The Bad:

Something just feels off

Lead failed to impress

Things I Learnt From This Short:

A spear can bring down something the size of a skyscraper

A trailer?

This is a 2.5-minute film starring Rileah Vanderbilt as the title character. We see her fight a bunch of thugs on Planet Earth and a giant monster somewhere on another planet. On Earth she is alone, on the other planet she has a couple other female warriors with her. Maybe that is her home planet and these other woman are her people. Anyway, this was almost too much for under 3 minutes really and it looks like this is actually a standalone film and there will be no feature film in the future starring Vanderbilt as Wonder Woman. I have to say I am not too angry about this. From what i saw here, I do not feel the need to watch a 120-minute movie about Wonderwoman. Or at least not with that lead actress, who does not do too much for me in terms of attraction either. So, all in all, I cannot recommend Sam R. Balcomb's film from 2 years ago and I am not too surprised he hasn't done anything new since then. "Wonder Woman" is a fairly forgettable effort.
