‘Wonder Woman:’ the Good, the Bad and the Contextual

Posted on June 2, 2017 by reelentropy

7/10 Wonder Woman is an uneven experience. At its worst, it’s frustrating and cliched and laugh-out-loud ridiculous, but at its best it’s majestic. In ancient times, after Ares awakened mankind’s warlike tendencies, Zeus created the amazons to appease them. The … Continue reading →
