Strange movie. It doesn't hew all that closely to her post-Crisis debut, but I don't know enough of her history to know if they were mix and matching versions of her backstory or just making things up with appropriate Greek Myth material. In the end though this feels more like a comedy than anything else, which stands out from the other DC direct to videos I've seen. That or casting Nathan Fillion in a leading role just inevitably causes that. I'd believe either.
It does kinda work because the main thrust ends up being that everyone is manipulating everyone, except thanks to Diana's main power she can cut through it and even the playing field. THe movie ends up with a flow of... snark, snark, joke, decapitation. And somehow it never really kicks you out of the story with it.
On the whole I think a more direct adaptation of her post-crisis origin would've made a stronger movie, but what's there is entertaining enough.
Rating- 6/10
