Wonder Woman Trailers

It's the modern day, and being Wonder Woman is complicated. Diana is leading a triple life - running a large corporation out of costume and fighting crime in costume in one identity.

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
Platypuschow It's hard to believe we were close to having a Wonder Woman television series but it got struck down at the first hurdle.With just a pilot made and the show not picked up by any network we'll never know if it would have lasted.At a guess I'd say no, in fact I'd say hell no.Adrianne Palicki does her best and is a decent enough actress but what she's working with it would have taken a miracle to be considered decent entertainment.Shoddily written, highly paint by numbers and just all round bad. What makes it worse is it's a prime example of why Hollywood has updated characters costumes to make them more realistic. Here Wonder Woman looks ridiculous and I failed to take her seriously at all! Can you imagine if for example Jeremy Renner played Hawkeye in his original comic book attire? Exactly.What makes it worse is that this doesn't feel like the pilot, this isn't an origin story and just drops you straight into the world of Diana Prince and what a crappy world it is.I'm glad this failed as I could imagine it damaging the careers of everyone involved.The Good:Adrianne PalickiThe Bad:The suit really is terrible in live actionShow logo is tackyPoorly madeThings I Learnt From This Pilot:Wonderwoman never said to merchandise her titsWonder Woman has no issue killing
ingra88 Please people who read this get one thing straight, you should not base the looks and design of the TV wonder woman on Lynda Carter! She played wonder Woman doesn't mean every one has to be like her!Adrianne Palicki is perfect for the roll, why not? She has the height and build of a amazon! she's tough and thats what counts, the 1970's version was too politically correct to meet TV censorship of that time! Were in the 21 century now get over it!Her acting was OK, its the overall story line that holds everything and everyone back preventing them showing their true potential!Funnily enough, the action is very good, I enjoyed it very much, but the story line is crap and makes no sense what so ever, not the plot but the characterisation that the premise works around! A total rewrite of the story is needed with Adrianne she is suited to the part, Lynda Carter even endorsed her for the role!
jadagirl 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!
Rich Hiskens Do not watch this if you have fond memories of the 70's series, it will negatively impact good memories. Quite frankly Lynda Carter gave such an elegant and poised performance this modern version lacks femininity when you naturally in your own head compare them. The language is also rather crude at times, which I found pointless as I felt they were trying to be risqué for the sake of it whilst aiming towards a family audience. The actress in my view lacks the kind of Amazonian presence that Lynda Carter gave us despite clearly being a good actress she also lumbers around the screen.The supporting cast is not that exciting either, sadly You can see why this never made it beyond a pilot. The plot is very flimsy, for obvious reasons I do not want to spoil the "plot" for anyone, luckily that wont happen as no plot seems to exist. I am now going to buy the 70's series to remind me of what was so special about wonder woman, in a male superhero dominated world, if a WW film is to be made please pick very carefully. Possibly Emma Stone, she has a presence which could match Lynda Carter.
