Some things I liked some I did not.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

I think bought maybe all of three Wonder Woman comics as a pre-teen boy. The character had always been around, but seemed kind of hokey wearing a circus bustier and flying an "invisible jet" (reminiscent of a Lear jet configuration). Her stories were kind of plain, and so sort of gave up on them and moved on in life ... or as much as a pre-teen youth could.I am told that Wonder Woman, as originally conceived, was a subversive attempt to satiate sexual bondage fantasies from the 1930s and 1940s. Eh, if so then I'm out of touch, but WW does tend to use a rope to get the truth out of men. And given her costume and liberal use of a rope, one is left to wonder if the social scientists writing about this comic book character don't have something there.Which leads one to ... "wonder", what it is about Wonder Woman that keeps people coming back for more, and for the owners of the current property to keep trying to reinvent her. I mean are there really that many men out there with fantasies regarding this kind of heroine? I'm not so sure.David Kelley writes about a woman who presents comic book superhero behavior in a real world for what it is; unlawful. But we often give a pass to vigilantes in costume because they have abilities us mere mortals do not, and gallivant in colorful circus performer costumes.I'm not really sure what the twist on this new Wonder Woman was supposed to do, but the directorial style and overall presentation, as professional as it is, did strike me as a touch predictable. That is as a male who read comic books like a lot of other boys when he was younger, and knowing female oriented TV programming, this presentation seemed to try to break the traditional mold by breaking what otherwise might have been the suspected expectations of the audience, but in doing so, winds up being almost a kind of cliché' unto itself.That is to say Wonder Woman is the everyday independent woman who not only trounces over-muscled male foes, but snuggles with her cat at the end of the day with a bowl of ice cream--no doubt some popular contemporary brand too. Not a bad angle to take for this attempted re-imagining of her, but I think the problem here isn't that Wonder Woman takes a lot of liberties with the law in her attempt to enforce the law, it's with the character's genesis itself. And by that I mean she was always a kind of sexual invention from the 1940s.I mean, what do you do with that? The best you can, I suppose. I think the tone set by this production teams is okay. WW is a bit over the top in terms of how she gets people to talk (I think Linda Carter's version is a bit more true to form of the G-rated WW a lot of people expect), but is otherwise palatable. Me, I think the series in the 70s with Linda Carter was campy, but inventive, and because it tried to stick with the character's roots, was fun in its own special way, if predictable as well. This series attempts to resuscitate a very 1940's character for a 2016 audience, and I think giving WW's character a kind of violent streak countered by her ordinary single white female private life, is perhaps the dual edged sword that was needed, but may have been over the top with two scenes. In short, I think mister Kelley misread the scale of violence WW fans were willing to accept from their favorite bondage character. It's one thing to challenge another male in personal combat, and defeat them. Every male knows this. But it's another to press your advantage against those less capable. And I think that's the only fault this show made.Otherwise I thought it was okay and in fact entertaining. I'm not sure it's something I would watch regularly, but I think a certain male and female audience could really go for this type of show. I'm sorry it wasn't picked up and finished, and I'm sorry it didn't lead to a TV series because I think it would have been successful.If you see a copy, give it a shot, but remember, it's not for kids.

They got the look right. They got the action right. I like the actress. I like the costumes. The rest? Dang, how weird! Plot and dialog no better than the 1970s show--really, really bad. And a real fascist slant to the whom thing. And wonder woman seems to change size pretty drastically throughout. Sometime she looks very amazon tall and imposing, other times not. And her voice sometimes drifts into SoCal valley-speak tones. Anyway...the look of the actress and costume and how she looked kicking add worked. But that's about it. The whole thing seemed kind of ill thought out and a bit rushed. This was from a major producer known mainly for his writing?

Hahhahahaaa. Aii sah. I'm here watching this "unaired pilot" and alternately laughing and shaking my head in despair. Seriously though. They just made this episode in jest right? Kind of like an almost spoof? No? Really? Hmm...OK, so as i'm watching i'm thinking "ok, the beginning isn't so bad. What's with all the negative comments??" Then Wonder Woman whips out her lasso and nooses the guy. Yep, laughing off my head here. Then, about halfway you get struck by the not too great dialogue. (Yea I know, but it only got worse around here) But I can deal with that. I've watched worse.Now we come to the 3/4 mark of this 41 min pilot. Cool, fight scene!! Wait a sec!! Are all those WIRES on the actors to make them fly and leap high?? Really?? And here comes more lasso action. And i'm serious, the phrase that keeps coming into my mind is Mortal Kombat's Scorpion saying "Get Over Here!!" When it finally ends i'm left thinking how sad and lonely Wonder Woman's life is. Very sad. The problem is that this show had some good actors and could have gone so much further if not for the poor script and the horrific display of the wires. However, I will concede that the show wasn't all that bad and this was largely due to our evil villianess, Ms Elizabeth Hurley who, in my opinion was the actual star of the show. She delivered the dialogue, the looks, and the evil empire leader very well. You almost wanted her to win.Ultimately, if you were a fan of the original series (Yes, Lynda Carter), this ep will disappoint you. If you had no clue of the original, it will erk you a bit. If you want to watch it and form your own opinion I say go for it, that's what I did....Cheers all!

I thought a while, how to grade this pilot. I went for 4 out of 10 with 5 as a production that is neither bad nor good - watchable. Here's why I gave it this grade: There is a lot of things people, especially male viewers, would like. There are some decent fight scenes, there is some decent acting and there are beautiful women. That's pretty much it. Elisabeth Hurley and Adrienne Palicki are stunning and they do know what acting is.Unfortunately these are the only qualities I could find in this production that would make the time spent watching this not entirely wasted. The character of Wonder Woman is significantly different from her portrayal in comic books and other TV series. While it doesn't necessarily mean it's bad this Diana just doesn't make much sense. On one hand we have a successful business woman, on the other lonely, delicate girl living alone and in the middle of this almost a psychopath killer. It's just like the main character has a split personality disorder. One might argue that the whole idea of having and alter ego is that those two personae have to be completely different, so that no one would uncover the secret identity of the hero. But that's not the case here. Wonder Woman in this show is publicly known so there is no need for hiding who she really is. And yet, while being Diana Prince she is lonely, heartbroken and gloomy watching TV with her cat - I think that is the true self of the main character since she doesn't have to hide anything from her pet. And in the same time in her Wonder Woman form she is ruthless, with no regard for law or human life. The most shocking scene for me in the pilot was when she pinned a man to a door with a pipe killing him and she didn't even blink. She even said to her cat, that it was a good day, because she got to beat up some bad guys as if not realizing she's just murdered someone. I'm not opposed to a new, darker, more morally gray hero, but the lack of consequence. It's almost as if different writers wrote different aspects of Wonder Woman's character and private life without reading what the other guys wrote. It just doesn't make any sense.Further more, what's the case with the lasso? A TV reporter stated, that Wonder Woman used her lasso of TRUTH to capture a villain. That means, her rope has the same properties as in the comic books - it can make every man tell the truth. Yet she still has to torture a guy she's just put in a hospital (!) to tell her anything? Why the h she did that when she just could wrap her golden string around him and ask politely? Maybe for her own pleasure - hence she really IS a psychopath.So, in my opinion, writing on this show sucks. It is poor and inconsequential. The CG is also not so good. The scenes where Diana flies her "invisible" jet are so static it just hurt my eyes to watch. But I guess that's the least important thing, although in a superhero show you wanna see some good SFX and cool stunts.So, the acting, cast, gorgeous women (Hurley and Palicky are just stunning as I stated before :)) and the action scenes are a big plus to the show.The writing, plot holes, character creation, special effects and essentially every thing except the few things mentioned above make a giant minus. Hence the grade 4/10. It's watchable but bad.PS. Is Wonder Woman even a superhero in this show? She can't fly by her own, she is strong but doesn't seam as strong as in the comic books (she has almost Superman level of strength in the source material) and her jest isn't invisible.
