I know I'm a few years late to the party on this one, but I didn't see a thread for it.
I've never really considered myself a fan of the character or read all that much of her series (I'm just getting started with her new 52 book), but I must admit, her animated movie was very impressive. Funny, engaging, and more than enough action to keep me entertained. I won't lie, this film definitely motivated me to focus to catch up on her title, too.
Who else has watched it and what are their thoughts? And to the Wonder Woman experts, did you have any major complaints about the film or was it (for the most part) accurate?
I consider myself a Wonder Woman expert I have read all her comics since 1986. I really enjoyed the film no major complaints.
The Theme was correct however they did change the Amazon history a bit prior to Wonder Woman being born. The Comic book history of the Amazons prior to Wonder Woman would actually make a pretty good movie by it self.
After Wonder Woman's birth it gets pretty accurate. However ARES was never a prisoner on the island. Hippolyta did not have a son called Thrax.
The Gods never imprisoned ARES. And she did not have an invisible plane. Artemis character was supposed to be philipus. but since people are more familiar with Artemis they changed it.
The Amazons where not betrayed by one of there sisters.
And STEVE TREVER was way older and not a love interest to Wonder Woman.
Basically They took the best of pre-crisis Wonder Woman story and the best of Post Crisis Wonder Woman almost at a 50/50 ratio and came up with something pretty good kind of like how the DCnU Wonder Woman is.
Its funny because this Film was made in 2009 but it is actually pretty much fits VERY well with the DCnU 52 Wonder Woman story more than the post crisis origin. In the DCnU 52 Wonder Woman, it has not yet been reveled how Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor met. When they do finally revel it... it may closely resemble this movie. Not sure if they planned that but it makes the movie more relevant.
