I think that it's fair to say that Wonder Woman is a pop culture icon and yet it would be hard to believe that she's only one successful live action TV show. Well we all know about that show but what you might not realise is that all the way back in 2011 there was an attempt to bring the character back to the small screen in a new live action show with only one episode filmed and produced and well then that episode never made it to air but it has been online for some years and so then join me as I review the only episode of this show that promised to bring Wonder Woman up to date for a more modern audience with the show in question being called simply just "Wonder Woman" enjoy.
The plot of this episode is Wonder Woman discovers that young men are dying after repeatedly taking a mysterious drug and so has to take down the one creating this drug before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad but that's also the issue as it's not all that good either instead the episodes plot is just OK at best and nothing really all the more then that in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is Adrianne Palicki as Diana Prince / Diana Themyscira / Wonder Woman and Elizabeth Hurley as Veronica Cale. Also starring in this episode is Tracie Thoms as Etta Candy , Pedro Pascal as Ed Indelicato , Cary Elwes as Henry Detmer , Geoff Meed as McRaven , Michael Rose as Gregory Kogen , Alex Solowitz as Frick , B.J. Britt as Willis Parks , Joseph Gatt as John O'Quinn , Edward Herrmann as Senator Warren and Knight Rider 2008 star Justin Bruening as Steve Trevor.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Granted it's not that good either but bearing in mind that this was only the pilot episode and the acting in pilot episodes typically isn't that good to begin with the fact that the acting in this episode is actually pretty good and was alt better then what it had any right to be and it's alot better then the acting in most DC shows on The CW.
Let's take a second to talk about this episodes main villain Veronica Cale who I believe was making her live action debut with this episode. To me this character just wasn't all that interesting with her coming across more as a high school bully instead of an actually threatening villain and she really isn't helped by the fact that the writing for this episode just isn't that good with her not really being given any real motivation for being evil other then her being greedy and that's really it and that's not enough to make her a good villain heck it doesn't even make her an OK villain as all if does is make her seem like a really bad and badly written villain.
Hollywood produces dozens of pilots every year and so it wasn't all that surprising that this show wasn't picked u. As it's a bad pilot altho with this pilot being leaked online it does make me want to see the cancelled The Powerpuff Girls live action pilot just so I can see for myself if it was a pilot but if the script for that pilot is anything to go by then we really aren't missing out but it does make me wonder if the finished pilot for the live action Powerpuff Girls was bad as they said it was as at least that one has a solid idea behind it and this pilot doesn't even have that going for it.
I will admit that there was alot of potential in this pilot but they would have to have done alot to fully realise that potential. Like dropping the idea of Diana having three separate identities which makes no sense and is just confusing especially as one of those identities is the owner of huge mega corporation and so anybody with half a brain cell would be able to work out that Diana Themyscira and Diana Prince are the exact same person which makes the whole having a secret identity to protect your loved ones a mute point and they would have to make Diana an actually likable person as well as in this pilot she's not really all that likable.
I just touched n this but I feel that it's such a huge issue that I have to mention it again as the Diana that we got in this episode isn't really all that likable. Heck i'd go as far as to say that villain of this episode is more likable then the actual main hero with Diana coming across like a rich kid that knows that they won't get into trouble for doing anything and so just breaks the law every chance that they get heck which is understandably fine for the main villain but it's not something that works for the main hero as the hero is someone that we should inspire to be like and yet this version of Wonder Woman just doesn't do that at all.
Now then this episode has / had ans exact grand total running time of exactly forty one minuets and forty one seconds. Which was a pretty solid running time for this episode but at the same time given that this is just the pilot episode they should have given this episode a much more longer running time just because of the fact that this episode has so much to set up and still tell a really good story and it really can't do that in that short amount of a running time and as such we get to find out nothing about Diana and her backstory nor do we get to find out about this world works and what the rules of this world even are but I will admit that this episode does have some really pretty solid pacing to it so there's that at least.
So now then as this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad for the most part. As the action that we can actually see does look really good and is filled to the brim with cool moments but at the same time this episodes action is also really hard to see due to the fact that there's a cut every couple of seconds which makes the action really confusing alot of the time in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall while this wasn't a bad pilot episode as there is alot of potential to be found in this episode it also isn't a good one either as this episode is just flat bad in alot of ways possible in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode and thus really the show as a whole really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 4.5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official The Powerpuff Girls fandom wiki page , the official DC Movies fandom wiki page ,the official DC Extended Universe fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the really wonderful Google Images as since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us up and the great and wonderful on Google Images are all really fairly high in quality and as well as being all really fairly freaking high in definition.
