The best performance to come out of this film is undoubtedly Rosario Dawson as Wonder Woman. The vocal performances are mostly good in Wonder Woman: Bloodlines. She’s supposed to have this major character arc and, while I liked the idea they were trying to do here, the execution just fell flat because I ultimately didn’t care by the end. I honestly liked following this story a lot but it both bogs down the movie as well as feels rushed. There’s also a sub-plot with the villain Silver Swan as, like in the comics, she does have close ties with Diana. I guess it’s fun for them to see some obscure Wonder Woman characters appear in the film but it just feels like it comes from nowhere and doesn’t lead anywhere. Some characters just pop in and don’t really do anything than just be a glorified cameo for Wonder Woman fans to points at and exclaim, “Hey! I know that character from the comics” before disappearing into the folds of plot convenience. Honestly, the overall plot comes off as rather muddled and, more often than not, things just happen. That’s the basic gist of Wonder Woman: Bloodlines as far as I can remember anyway. But it seems like someone else is pulling the strings from behind the scenes… After that, it goes to the story proper where Wonder Woman needing to find a way back to Themyscira to stop a potential invasion from Doctor Poison and Villany, Inc. I’m just that kind of guy.Īnyway, Wonder Woman: Bloodlines starts with a new retelling of how Diana left Themyscira to return fighter pilot Steve Trevor back to “man’s world” before the events of Justice League: War, the very first film DC Animated Originals movie. As this animated film has just been released on both digital download and physical media recently, this will be a SPOILER FREE review so those who are still interested can go in without knowing anything.
