Wonder Woman (2011 TV Movie)
7/10
Very Good Pilot!
25 November 2011
Warning: Spoilers
I must admit that having been a fan of the DC comic books and the original Wonder Woman TV series starring Lynda Carter, I fully expected (and secretly hoped)that the new Wonder Woman pilot would be pathetic! Not so - I was pleasantly surprised. Apart from changing the basic WW myths with regard to her secret identity and her day-time work, which comic book purists will find fault with, I found the episode to be fun, lively and well-executed. I was not familiar with Adrianne Palicki's works but I think she was an excellent choice and Amazonian enough for the role. Obviously, the special effects haven't been cleaned up and the initial script does leave a lot to be desired. But, let's face it, this is definitely a change of pace for David E. Kelley and, having said that, he does deliver quirky yet fun HIT shows. I feel this series does have potential, it would be a shame if a major network doesn't pick it up.
