Wonder Woman (2009)

This was a pretty good movie, it has some rushed points near the end and a few of the preachy wonder woman spots kinda suck but overall yeah this worked.

=Design=
Set in what looks like near present day, Wonder Woman 09 has a decently modern setting and style to everything. Wonder Womans outfit is the standard pantless variety shes rocked endlessly for decades.

=Story=
The story this time is an origin film not connected to any universe but stand alone. It starts with the war of the Amazons versus Ares. Hippotlya cuts off her unwanted sons head and Ares is all like wtf.

The B plot of this film centers around Artemis and her sister Alexa. Alexa in this war is a young girl who doesn't want to fight, Artemis is like lol die an amazon who cares what you want. Alexa is thrust into battle and cowers, leading to Peresphone losing her right eye.

Back to A plot Zeus and Hera bound Ares in shackles that take away his god powers. And give the Amazons an island to live eternally in paradise as apologies for being slaves for 100 years.

We fast forward a bit to Hippotlya scultping a child from sand that she gives blood to and then life from the heavens....sure. That child becomes Diana, our Wonder Woman.

But we need to catch up with the other main character Steve Trevor and oh god its a really bad bad steve trevor. There is 0 charm here, he gets both of his pilot friends killed and then crashes his jet onto the island that suddenly appears cause someone punched a mirror in Hippotylas chambers

Diana is the typical sheltered daughter they also taught to be a Xena Warrior Princess? these messages don't add up much here. She beats Artemis soundly while Alexa, now adult, is all like books rule.

Steve trevor immediately oogles some naked amazonians and then runs away trying to mock Diana and others trying to get him. Most of Steves comments in this movie suck. Like I get they want to set wonder woman up to be preachy about men being scum blah blah blah but holy hell dude Steve is a SCUMBAG. This entire movie hes womanizing, trying to get in Dianas crotch pants, and just overall a jerkoff.

So they are gonna return Steve to america once they find out his government has 0 clue about this with the lasso of truth. They hold a competition for some reason to decide the emissary, Diana secretly enters having been assigned to guard duty. Alexa switches with her and is like i'm gonna read some BOOKS!

BTW they let Persephone be the guard for the last 100 years and didn't think shed fall in love with Ares spending day and night with him for 100 years??? Well she kills Alexa , frees Ares and they go off to Hell. There they meet fat Satan, who is using Ares dead son as his slave. Satan frees Ares from his cuffs and then they go to take over the world

Diana wins the competition and gets new underoos. They fly the invisible plane back to america and no one even really cares Steve was gone? lol what I mean he sucks but lol

In America Steve tries to get her drunk to force himself on her, something something they end up going to a volcano to fight Ares. Diana gets her ass beat, Steve flies her to a hospital and we regroup with the final battle

Ares revives the dead amazons, the real amazons show up to fight Ares on american soil. The president decides hes angry and wants to Nuke something so amazon island sounds good enough I guess. Steve does the only good thing the whole movie flying the invisible jet after the missile, shoots it down.

Alexa is a zombie and beats Artemis ass but starts chanting something. Artemis confused repeats that and the spells broken on the dead people (???). Alexa finally wants to fight now that shes dead but Ares makes all the dead return to the afterlife and whomp whomp Artemis sad. Diana fights Ares tricks him into a pool of water where Zeus shocks him for some reason. Diana cuts his head off and hes now Satans new slave!

Back on the island Artemis try book reading but it hard, and Diana is given permission to go be the liaison to AMER...HUMAN WORLD. Steve and Diana are living together, and Cheetah attacks a bank having not ever been set up at all.

=Cast=
Keri Russell as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman: I actually hadn't seen keri russell in anything before but she was a good WW

Nathan Fillion as Steve Trevor: If the goal was make Steve trevor the ultimate sleazeball then Nathan Fillion did a great job.

Alfred Molina as Ares: Spiderman 2s doc ock was ok, but didn't seem really menacing.

Rosario Dawson as Artemis: This fooled me didn't sound like Dawson at all, but she did great

Oliver Platt as Hades: kinda a perfect for this very different (to me) take on Hades

Virginia Madsen as Hippolyta: she wasn't great most of the film, at times you could hear her just not caring

Vicki Lewis as Persephone: Beth from NewsRadio? lol. Yea she was really bad in this

Tara Strong as Alexa: Tara stole scenes she was in, this isn't surprising

=Fun Stuff and Random Thoughts=
1. The invisible plane is never cool and always seems dumb you see her riding in it. I liked that it was completely invisible here, seemed much cooler

2. Wonder Woman throwing her crowns always a move I forget about
