That would be interesting to see, who they consider 'the best' female protagonists and why.

Umm, at the very end there:

It's nice to see a wrath of less archetypically European faces in movies such as with that person in The Mummy and Gal Gadot here, but the stories their paired with are pretty awful IMO...

Like WW she's playing a Greek Superhero with all that entails, but then (not familiar with the comics) it's transformed into a kind of WWI era dealio with a bunch of half hearted attempts to explain how all that heroism can melt away in the face of the supervillainy that is Dr. Poison etc.

I mean I would of supposed in that situation she would of just thrown some kind of laser beam down and ruined half the known world but anyway...

So that leaves The Mummy well once again it's hinting at a different past, except in this case it's a pure villain transformation.

I mean basically it's either empty heroism or villainy, nothing that really changes a status quo.

But whatever, as pure production enterprises and goofball throwing stuff out there they had their moments I guess.

Well, maybe at least now people know these people even exist at all. 

I disagree, these are two completely different movies. Sure, they share some similarities, like both taking place during a World War, but both heroes were created around the same time (1941, to be precise) so their involvement in the war was unavoidable (moreso Cap than Wonder Woman). If anything, the setting for Wonder Woman was changed to World War I from its original World War II. Both movies having a team around the leads? That's practically every (old) war movie ever, particularly when there's some top secret mission they must undertake (Guns of Navarone, Cockleshell Heroes, Dirty Dozen, Kelly's Heroes, etc.). And what's Peggy Carter's connection to Cap's powers? Tangential at best since the formula was developed by Stanley Tucci's character and his gear made by Tony's father. On Pine's Trevor resembling Evans' Rogers, sure, I can see that to some extent (beyond both characters pulling the sacrifice card aboard a plane full of bombs). Not sure what you mean by Ares and Red Skull being the same. If you mean it in the sense that Skull is Cap's mirror in the same way Ares is Diana's (product of the same formula on the one hand, demigods on the other) then yes, I agree. However, Diana's connection to the Gods is thoroughly established in the comics, whether your take is the pre or post-New 52 origin (the movie goes with the New 52 origin).

The characters and their motivations are also completely different. Cap has a set of principles that he sticks with through thick and thin. His goal is clear and he never wavers from that goal. At the beginning, Diana is extremely confident about her mission to kill Ares and how that'll put an end to the war but, throughout the movie, her beliefs about humanity are challenged at every turn, making her wonder whether mankind deserves to be saved at all. There is a growth in her character that Steve Rogers' Cap never goes through.

I could go on but I can't agree with a below-average rating, certainly not on par with Eragon. Can you really say the acting in this movie was as bad as in Eragon? Were the visual effects as terrible, the story so uninspired? I can't in good conscience make that comparison.

Besides, Captain America is, in itself, a copy of the Marvel-movie template but that's a discussion for another time.

Superhero teams up with a team of soldiers to stop the german doomsday weapon. Blonde american guy sacrifices himself via airplane to save the day. It was lazy and they played it safe all the way. The interviews and the publicity push before the movie was released seemed to avoid the story for the most part. Instead it was all about hyping up "strong female protagonist" and all that stuff.

I meant Eragon was a huge hack-job as well. It is a word for word copy of Star Wars episode 4. WW was a rip off of Captain America 1.

While the acting in eragon was terrible, none of the actors in it were as bad as Gadot. The rest of the WW cast were great. Robin Wright was really good. If you want good acting, cast a woman that is a trained actor. 

Well, they've gone ahead and done it, pointless as it may be. They threw in every category save for Best Actor.

Eh, superhero movies aren't "real" cinema, according to some Hollywood snobs.
