Just got out and I thought it was... fine. I'm glad to see it exceeding expectations at the box office, and it's a genuine relief that WB/DC finally has an entry in this cinematic universe that they don't have to be ashamed of, but I honestly don't see what puts it above any other middle-of-the-pack superhero movie in terms of quality/story. Obviously, the female lead aspect sets it apart in that regard, but I kept waiting for this amazing experience everyone is claiming it to be, and it just never happened for me.
Godot was good, as was Pine, and I really liked the overall look/production design, but there were quite a few clunky moments, the action didn't stand apart in an really way, Ludendorff and Dr. Poison were laughably bad, and the effects more often than not were super-iffy, if not pretty terrible at times. And that final fight... ooof. It's genuinely surprising how all-in WB/DC are going on the general sameness/sh*tiness of their climactic battles. It's all just dark, muted, CGI gobletygoop in which pain doesn't exist and everyone is invincible until they're suddenly not for some reason.
I don't know... I get why people are into it, I had fun with big chunks of it, and it was genuinely cool to hear the cheers from the audience at times, but to compare it to the greats of the genre seems kind of crazy to me. In fact, if I had to choose between the two superhero origin movies set during either of the World Wars, starring a male lead named Steve who sacrificially flies/diverts a plane in the climax to save thousands... I'd probably go with Captain America: The First Avenger.
