Wonder Woman

Poor Wonder Woman. Transplanted from a mystical island of beautiful women and relocated to a bustling city where she must take on the demeening role of a secretary for a secret government agency, all while cursed with an overpowering beauty that reduces any man near her to a lecherous, overly-libidoed, leisure-suit wearing pervert, never acknowledging the fact that she might have real feelings and emotions, real dreams and hopes. Poor dumb broad.

It's not a terrible ‘70s TV movie it's just the fact that it's a really disappointing Wonder Woman movie.

Absolutely abominable. Not fun, interesting, well-made, accurate or worth watching. At all.

70 minutes of people doing things without logic or planning - or stakes. The worst that can happen is a government agency losing 15 million bucks. Big whoop. The only fight scene lasts 90 seconds and consists of leisurely bumping sticks together, and the grand climax is our protagonist casually riding her motorbike (with a helmet!) while the villain is enjoying his boat trip. And I don't think I've seen anyone surrender that quickly and eagerly. No-one is skilled or threatening. They just exist.

Trying to not let my childhood fondness for this alternate WW overshadow my more discerning viewing as an adult. Some of the dialogue's painfully stilted (esp the early banter between George & WW); the Amazon battle choreography's lame; & why is the best agent still a secretary? But Crosby's good enough as an unflappable super agent, Montalban is great as a smitten bad guy with integrity (their banter's as good as George's is bad) & it's fun to watch WW escape from all those traps.
