The only possible sources of intrigue in Patty Jenkins‘ Wonderwoman (Warner Bros., 6.2.17) are (a) Gal Gadot, whose brief appearance in in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice was more enticing than the performances by Ben Affleck or Henry Cavill, (b) the World War I period trappings and atmosphere, and (c) possibly Chris Pine‘s performance as a quipping, deadpan love interest, Steve Trevor. Otherwise it has the same old cartoony elements that all the other superhero films have. Every new superhero flick is like the last one and the one before that, etc. Jenkins’ last big film was Monster (’03), which resulted in Charlize Theron‘s big Best Actress win.
