After years of disappointment waiting for the promised new Wonder Woman movie I bought the animated movie with high anticipation having seen the justice league cartoons. I'm a life long Wonder Woman fan.
I enjoyed the first half of the movie most, it balanced the comic book genesis with that of the original film and TV series to keep both sets of fans happy. However midway through the film Wonder Woman is reduced to the roll of "damsel in distress", which for me was very disappointing and spoiled the story.
Another problem with the script was the inconsistency of her power levels which at times were equivelent to her present comic book persona but in other scenes more akin to the TV show. In fact Diana was not portrayed as being any stronger than Hippolyte her mother, who in many ways steels her limelight by taking on the most anticipated fight in the film, the revenge against their Amazon betrayer. This should really have been Wonder Woman's fight.
In terms of quality the voice talents are superb, the animation splendid and the humour weighted toward the more adult audience.
I only gave four stars but anyone new to Wonder Woman would probably score higher.
On the whole very good and the two disc set has great extras.
I look forward to more from the Amazing Amazon in the near future.

The wait is over and we finally have a more than respectable version of Wonder Woman straight to dvd!
Long time comic fans will be happy with what has been delivered. The only problem is that we are left with wanting more!
There are many memorable moments in this cartoon with its strong messages of the fight against war and terrorism to a certain element of feminism as well but luckily not too much! Steve Trevor and Artemis add the comedic element in what is an adult tale. I hope this leads to allot more to come for the amazing amazon!

I've never been the biggest DC Universe fan outside of the Bat so when I stumbled across a new animation about the origins of Wonder Woman it was not on my to see list. However, I do like a cartoon once in a while and the combination of a female protagonist and voice work by Nathan Fillion meant that my partner was up for watching `Wonder Woman' and I have to say I was surprisingly impressed. `WW' is not the strictest of origin stories, but more like the first adventure of Wonder Woman. Diana is exposed to the outside world when maverick pilot Steve Trevor crash lands on her secret Amazonian island at the same time that Ares is planning his vengeance.
In terms of storyline and set pieces `WW' it of a very high standard. I think a live version of the film would have easily competed against some of the Marvel blockbusters of recent years; it's perhaps on a par with `Thor'. The storyline is a clear one and you get to know both Diana/Wonder Woman and Steve. The chemistry between them builds over the film and hints at sequels in the future that could be great fun. The voice acting is also of a decent standard with Keri Russell and Fillion doing good work.
Where the film is let down most is the animation. For a kids TV show it is of a good standard, but this is a feature length DVD and I would expect a bit more. There is obviously not the budget of a cinema CGI release, but the traditional hand drawn animation is let down by some lazy frame issues and reusing of cells. The ambitious story is not served by the unambitious animation - like I said a live version would have been excellent and made full use of the ideas on offer. `Wonder Woman' is still a very entertaining watch, especially for superhero fans, just don't expect to be flabbergasted by the animation.
