Sorry, this movie sucks

Load of rubbish!!

Just perfect...

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Based on the true story on the creation of Wonder Woman from the mind and life of Professor William Moulton Marston (Luke Evans) his wife Elizabeth (Rebecca Hall) and Olive Byrne, a student, who formed a threesome. He would sire two children from each woman in an unorthodox relationship during a less than acceptable age of such things. Their role play and light bondage would make its way into the scandalous comic. It was an interesting film, but the characters didn't appeal to me. In spite of their sexual escapes, they were very dry except for maybe a few good scenes with Rebecca Hall. Champion of women's liberation or male fantasy? Guide: F-word, sex, nudity (Rebecca Hall)

Angela Robinson has offered a sweet and fascinating movie based (very) loosely on the creator of the Wonder Woman comic book. Evans, Hall and Heathcote offer complex and flawed characters tied in a three-way romance. Their decision to live a polyamorous lifestyle causes scandal, job losses and a fistfight. It rather brings to mind "Big Love," except that the women are depicted as lovers rather than as sister wives. Robinson offers scene after scene of beautifully-crafted visuals backed by instrumental music. She has a patience in her story-telling that really worked for me. The story imagines the many inspirations that came together to form the Wonder Woman mythos. The oddest thing about the movie is that it supports Fredric Wertham's central claims in Seduction of the Innocent, a notorious 1954 book that nearly destroyed the comic book industry. In Robinson's telling, the Wonder Woman comic *was* filled with sexual imagery designed to manipulate the minds of America's young people. This may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I really enjoyed the film.

The start of the movie made me think "three star" as we were presented w/the improper clichéd scene of male teacher looking at attractive female student with an obviously longer attention span (in real life it would be noticeable to all ss) and female student smiling back, also with more than academic interest. OK, obviously meant to capture viewer interest for what was to follow. But, as the tale unfolds it turned out to be informative on many issues, particularly for that period and applicable still today, about female gender role in society; what is sexuality; what is love; general societal acceptable norms of behavior for relationships; not to mention our ground breaking female superhero. The only thing I thought was missing, probably in special features, was better objective documentation to support the telling of the story in that way.

Professor Marston and the Wonder Women is a nice biography, a story worth to be told about the inventor of the lie detector and the creator of the superhero Wonder Woman. I never heared of it before so that was a bonus for me. But there is more to it than just the story about his invention and his creation. It's also a love story, about a love triangle, and about dominance and submission. Nobody would take offence by that now but at that time it was something scandalous and unheared of. I can't see why someone couldn't love more than one person at once and that's what this story is about. Luke Evans, Rebecca Hall and Bella Heathcote are the actors playing the characters of the love triangle. Good-looking people and that's the funny thing about it. It's obviously a Hollywood production so the actors have to be good-looking. Because in the end credits you get to see some pictures of the real people from that time and the least you could say is that they were not as good-looking. I guess beauty sells better. Nevertheless Professor Marston and the Wonder Women is certainly worth watching.
