Good movie, not all features work outside of US January 26, 2010 J. Mcguire (Australia) The movie was very enoyable, with good voice performances and animation. The story was respectful to previous versions of the origin, but has been updated in a way that was appropriate for the character.
Only complaint is that the digital version intended for iphones and ipods is not available to customers outside of the US and Canada..
Disappointmet! December 22, 2009 Carlos Rios (Venice, CA) I waited for a couple months and finally got Wonder Women. Wow what a disappointment. I was expecting so much more like how George Perez told the story. I'm not selling this movie I will give it away.....see ya!
"Give it up for the Red White and Blue" November 21, 2009 Cappachino (A Lil'spot all of My own....) I was really surprised by the animators who put the movie togather
they really captured the essences of wonder woman and the whole amazon tribe.
It was well put togather the story line surprised me cause it took you thru the history of wonder woman and where she came from.It was awsome relly hope they come with another editon like bring her sister to the scene lol
Awesome November 12, 2009 Dustin Rhoades (Lawton, OK) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was kinda skeptical when I first heard about this DVD as Wonder Woman hasnt always been a favorite character of mine. But when you have very few options to see superheroes in movies cartoon or otherwise, you sort of have to watch what you can get. And this movie was a pleasant surprise. I thought not only was the voice casting done well (for an example of how not to do it watch that JLA New Frontier), but also the tone of Wonder Woman I believe was captured too. All in all, fan or no fan, if you love comics or superheroes this is a movie to see. Everyone I've showed it to male or female has enjoyed it!
Merciful Minerva! What happened? October 21, 2009 Ink Bleeder (Albuquerque, NM) 8 out of 14 found this review helpful
I'm a huge Wonder Woman fan and received this DVD as a birthday present. Since Wonder Woman has never been given the star treatment of other comic book heroes(where is her live-action movie?), I felt that even an animated movie was long overdue, and looked forward to seeing the film.
It's horrible. It's worse than horrible. It's the death of a classic, and the shredding of what was a strong, thoughtful, feminist role model for little girls. The logic errors are enough to put your teeth on edge (the Amazons have a supersonic invisible jet, but no guns? The God of War has been made impotent for generations, but wars continue to rage on earth? And where did all those Pegasuses come from, and since when do Amazons ride them ineffectually into battle?), but worst of all is the treatment of Wonder Woman herself.
As originally conceived, Wonder Woman was, at her core, curious about the world of Man and eager to explore the cultural differences between Paradise Island and the United States. Well, no longer. In this film, she's a judgmental man-hater, nasty to other women, and a ruthless killer. The Wonder Woman of my childhood was a fierce patriot who always turned over the bad guys to the authorities. Granted, the storyline here is so implausible and convoluted that it's never clear if the bad guys are monsters or men, but her actions have nothing to do with justice. The film leads up to one big bloodbath, and Wonder Woman is on the side of no one but herself. Steve Trevor isn't the genial, obtuse love-interest; he's a rude, sexist frat boy.
The elimination of anything even remotely admirable about the female characters in this film is so thorough, I could only conclude that it was deliberate; perhaps to assure that the intended audience would be angry, lovelorn teenage males, not small girls and others who long to see a leading female who is neither vampy nor vapid. Even Hera is reduced to a soft-spoken wife who urges the Amazons to listen to Zeus, the raging father, and spare the life of a rapist.
I've never written a review on Amazon, but this film is so dreadful, I felt I had to do what I could to warn people to save their money. Wonder Woman deserves better than this!
