May 27, 2011 10:03 pm my main problem with the WW pilot, well 1st Adrianne was good, let me get that out of the way, but the dialog she was given NEVER once showed the side of diana where she is loving & compassionate, we never got that she would try to reform anyone for peace or that she even cared. it was all 'look how pissed off & tough I am, GRRRR!' That was the tone set in the very beginning of the episode and it carried throughout. The show starts with the worst actress EVER watching her son bleed to death out of his eyes, GROSS! then the next scene is WW taking down a criminal, injecting something in his neck, and kicking his body over to the cops, then gives the cops an eat shit look & storms off. it was not the diana we all know & love, if this had gone forward I think people that arent familiar with diana would have the completely wrong idea about her, abnd probably not like her much. She was a very unlikable diana. More than the bad writing & cheap costume, it was the tone of the story & her character that really put me off the most. just a negative vibe. i wanted to love this, in my head it was already fantastic. HUGE let down. they just managed to take everything i love about her & completely remove it. there was no trace of who wonder woman is to me. the writing killed it. she was very angsty depressed even, and angry all the time. and I HATED the use of the lasso. it was used maybe 3 times, and never to get the truth out of someone, it was whipped around peoples necks. it was horrifying. there was no spin! (dont even get me started on that one) and ww doesnt have 6 bmw mini jets. she has 1. and its invisible! come on writers, producers, etc, do you know ANYTHING?!? give us what we want! also keep in mind this was done by the same director that did the mighty morphin power rangers, and mtv's the real world, the movie. =/ There were parts I did like tho, I love the on screen chemistry between diana & etta, those 2 actresses are great together, i loved all there scenes. the cop was TERRIBLE! he should have been cut out completely. They showed some cool artwork of diana on the walls of her office, and cool toys, ww merch etc. i'm sad to say, that i'm glad this wonder woman show didnt go to series. but i'm hopefull that this entire thing generated enough interest in wonder woman, to try again, and get it right the next time. also I have a hunch this is going to be leaking VERY soon. and you'll all see it. i saw burned dvd copies of the screener leaving the viewing party i was at. I watched it with about 15 other nerdy gay dudes, everyone was talking & making jokes and funny comments thru the whole thing. it was kinda like being at a midnight showing of Xanadu or Showgirls. it was really fun to watch it with them but I'm anxious to see it again, at home & really try and give it another go. so if anyone has a copy for me....
May 27, 2011 8:13 pm I saw it last week, and if i were to write a review, it would be a lot harsher than this one. Even though the work print that's floating around may not be airing or be released on itunes etc, I have a hunch they may still clean it up, finish it and THEN release it, or maybe even show it as a tv movie. I know for a fact there is more footage that isnt seen in the work print, when we were on set we were talking to crew members and they said the last week of filming was all green screen stuff that they were filming in the Santa Clarita studio location for the paradise island scenes, which werent in the pilot. so i think they may have enough footage to easily make a tv movie or put it for sale on itunes or on dvd. whether they'll spend the money to re-edit & polish this turd, i dont know. but i guess it could happen...
