According to creators of the movie, they based this version of Maxwell Lord on Donald Trump. However Max is a sympathetic character in the movie - I wish they would spend more time on him, heheh. Especially after 2020 who wouldn't want a successfull business, good family life?
Take out Cheetah, and give time to build up Max. Forget the first scene with the amazons, make the heist shorter.
Or take out Max, and focus on Cheetah, her struggles in life (her character is not flashed out at all), and then make it a WW vs Cheetah. After all she supposed to be the big nemesis for WW in the comics.
Both in the movie, simple doesn't work. It's a 2 hour 30 minutes long boredom.
Also for the love of god, Diana has to move on from Steve. 40 years have passed! I understand that Chris Pine is the better actor, and they wanted him back, but come on, write characters!
As BSG creator Ronald D. Moore said: "It's the characters, stupid!"
Meaning if you write authentic characters, true to their self, everything will fall into their place, and they will take you to the destination.
I am not a writer, but this sounds really true, as I watched both bad and good stories.
