Good concept, poorly executed.

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Excellent but underrated film

For having a relatively low budget, the film's style and overall art direction are immensely impressive.

An early attempt to "modernize" Wonder Woman for the 1970s. Everybody seems to think this was boring or campy. I saw it on TV when I was 12. While I admit it's not a great film it's not THAT bad! Cathy Lee Crosby was totally miscast but she does the best she can. I loved how before each commercial there was a cliffhanger. Personally I was never bored and I loved the new uniform (the other one I always thought showed WAY too much skin). The movie was also (for its time) pretty violent. I remember being surprised when two characters were shot to death. It was off screen but still... Obviously this movie wasn't the big hit they expected so they went back to the original costume and hired Lynda Carter (who WAS Wonder Woman). So this didn't work but I have a soft spot for it.

Watching this not too long ago on The Sci Fi Channel, I laughed at this so hard that I had a severe headache for hours! I managed to tape it thank god and can enjoy this HUGE hunk of cheesiness from 70's tv. Cathy Lee Crosby (A 70's version of Kathy Lee Gifford) always bothered me as Wonder Woman, simply because her smiled drove me crazy, and her deliverance of the dialog was just HORRIBLE!!!! ***POSSIBLE SPOILERS HEADED YOUR WAY!!!***The 2 saving graces? Ricardo Montalban as Abner and Andrew Prine as the REALLY sleazy and greedy George. Prine has the right idea when he keeps telling Abner to kill her. Isn't that what YOU would want to do whenever you hear her talk? Still, it's interesting to watch a weak fight between Wonder Woman and her renegade comrade from Paradise Island, Anjayla(Anitra Ford, an original "Bob Barker's Beauty from Price Is Right, no less).Watch the film if you like cheese oozing from the tv screen.

This compact 90 minute unsold pilot caused quite a stir when it premiered on ABC in 1974. Even then comic book fans bemoaned the new interpretation of the character. It's not really Wonder Woman but, a modernized and scrubbed down version of a short lived incarnation of her from then current issues of the Wonder Woman comic book. In this version, after a short origin sequence, Wonder Woman, as Diana Prince, secret government agent, under Steve Trevor, is given the job of recovering a set of code books in the hands of a blackmailer.The movie is entertaining. It's structured like an old time movie serial, each act has a cliffhanger ending with some new threat to Diana, who only appears in "costume" near the end. Not the traditional uniform, but a rather mod looking red, white and blue outfit, with a hidden golden lasso.Providing menace is ace henchman, George. As played by Andrew Prine, who appears to be having a lot of fun, George's wish to kill the Amazon Princess is matched only by his desire to make love to her. (Don't worry, it's not a deep as it sounds).Abner Smith, portrayed by a very charming Ricardo Montalban is George's boss and a great foil for Cathy Lee Crosby, who is over her head in this role, but tries hard. As a side note, try counting the number of times, someone uses a telephone during the film. A new drinking game could come out of this film!

I have to agree, it was crap. It could have benefitted from the showing of Cathy Lee Crosby(Diana/WonderWoman) in some direr straits than what was seen; i.e. B/G instead of just B. Call me a geek, call me a Misogynist Perv, hentai, what ever, but anything would have saved that calamity.
