I know! I see people dissing it all the time but those nature shots are gorgeous. The ones they do with sound are sometimes really cool too. Also they do this news round up and weekly quiz thing in my country which I love.
I remember the really fun thing they did this Christmas with the lights and the snow effects.

Quite a valid point. If a cloudy mist thing is enough to hide from Ares for decades then he can't possibly be all that dangerous (or smart). I had expected the sailors to get a static shock at the very least.
Maybe that was all the dying Zeus could manage. Which would be a pretty lame explanation.

It is sad how the dialogue drags the movie down. Gadot did such a great job but the dialogues make Diana seem like a stubborn child at times.

It is also at odds with how they were hidden the island for their own protection.
Has Hippolyta always been their queen (Since the war between Gods)? Because that would also rule out the policies of the different rulers over contact with the outside world.
I don't usually get too worked up over stuff like this but it…

I felt as if that part was perfectly paced. First you get to know Diana the plucky young girl who wants to be just like her Aunt. Then she finds purpose with the story about the Godkiller. It feels perfectly in line with all this that the fight with the Germans and their superior weapons makes Diana realize that the…

Maybe they went out occasionally and captured people from different parts of the world to learn their languages.
It would have been funny if Diana and the Amazons could only speak Ancient Greek.

It was the exact opposite for me. I loved seeing Diana grow up into the warrior she is today, coming to terms with her strengths. With Steve's entry you get the actual feeling that the time has come for her to leave this life behind. Seeing little Diana aspire to be a great warrior was touching. So was her guilt at…

The dialogue was so bad! It took me out of the movie at so many points. Especially in Steve and Diana's conversations.

I really like the fact that despite watching a whole movie about her I know so little about what sort of a person Diana is now. This was just a part of her story. I am really excited to spend more time with the character in the future.
The first 45 minutes of the movie right up until they leave Themyscira were just…

We only see it for a few moments but the dress Diana is wearing in the modern day scenes is so gorgeous.

Saw Wonder Woman this weekend. It's a really enjoyable movie. Gadot was amazing and the first 45 minutes of the movie are absolutely perfect. It was nice to see Diana grow and I found myself getting caught up in her emotions very frequently. The Wonder Woman theme is mind-blowing and seeing Diana charge into No Man's…

A Trip to the Moon always reminds me of the movie Hugo which was a really beautiful tribute to Méliès.

Also scarier. The movie Voldemort never seemed all that threatening and unhinged.

Will be interesting to see how the Montez government handles this. It'll be funny if this show turns into Jonah causing an increasing amount of trouble under his scheming girlfriends orders and the Montez administration just scrambling to deal with it.
I was surprised that they left Doyle out this week. I had expected…

I don't mean to trivialize any of those issues but I think a better writer may have been able to create a more deeply disturbing world with the same basic premise. It's not the issues at hand that irk me but the style of writing. I do not think that this book is a great example of dystopian literature and I still…

That is exactly my problem. I feel as if Atwood gets too much credit for this. The world building is weak and that is what dulls the impact of the book. The characters aren't all that great either. This isn't a book that makes me recoil at the thought of things that go on in it because I've seen these things around me…

The Creativity Song is also incredibly catchy.

How about Mexico instead? I'd love to have access to unlimited oranges.
Or the Cubans with their radio broadcast hijacking ways.

I know. I haven’t watched the show yet but the reverence for the book irks me sometimes. It isn’t flawless by any means.

For me The Handmaid's Tale lacked intensity. It fails to have the psychologically scaring effect that works like 1984 and A Clockwork Orange had. The book just seems like a mashup of all the crimes that societies all over the world inflict on women. In a world where women already wear burkas the uniforms don't seem…
