Disappointing but still good

I was disappointed by this movie, for a few reasons but the movie was not terrible. The things I didn't like was the fight scenes, the villains. The story was okay could've been better. The fight scene seemed weak and their wasn't much in the movie to begin with. I understand she was loosing her powers but the fights were still lackluster. Especially the final fight, it was just jumping and swinging. Now the villains seemed dull, Cheetah was good at first but seem to dwindle in the end. Maxwell Lord a great villain in the comics is also very disappointing. He could've been better, like more menacing. He seem to be power hungry but lacked the evilness or darkness to make him a good villain. The overall story is kinda campy and is much like a Christopher Reeve Superman movie. I don't mind it but they could've added more depth to it.

The the stuff I liked Steve Trevor and Diana chemistry, Wonder Woman flight scene, 80s vibe. The chemistry between Steve and Diana is very good, they are just instantly back in love and taking with each other as if nothing really happened. I also liked how Steve was reacting to the 80s. How far technology has come, he wasn't a cave man type person he was just so overjoyed. Then when Steve had to leave was truly sad, Steve telling Diana to revoke her wish was just so sad. Then Diana just runs off and goes to the sky. Diana remembers what Steve said about why he loves flying and she starts to fly. The score was great, us finally seeing her was great and after what just happened with Steve. It was definitely my favorite scene in the whole movie.

Overall the movie is good, the story and villains disappoint me but the chemistry and score balance it out well enough. I love the first movie more but this movie is still good enough.
