This is that sort of movie you have to be in a very particular frame of mind to enjoy fully. Forget high art and save your brain cells for something else, because this goes into the 'so bad it's good' category.

Wes Craven, the man that created the spectacular Freddy Krueger, seems to be completely off his game here. Or was he?.. At every turn, it feels like all his directorial choices were purposefully wrong, somehow. The 'scissor hands', the outrageous blue make-up, the robot's design, subplots that go nowhere... Everything is slightly off but hilarious and memorable.

Be that as it may, the film is a masterpiece in giving you tons of fun and entertainment!

No, this wasn't meant to be high art. Shakespeare would have never been considered to write an episode of THE LOVE BOAT.

What this series intended - and accomplished for 10 seasons! - was to be entertaining. It showed beautiful people in beautiful locations, with a bit of cheeky humor added to the mix.

And it did so over 250 episodes, usually with 3 stories per episode! The amount of creativity and talent involved in this show is still impressive now, in the age of 6 episode seasons.

Every starlet of the time played a part on this show, and it was a joy seeing them having fun with their craft.

Some people may find the series crude and forgettable, but I think it helped change the world one smile at a time.

What can we say about this show that hasn't been said a thousand times already? That Lynda Carter actually looks like she was carved out of some godly marble to play this role? That the scripts were fun and cool? That the main theme was a hoot?

Pretty much everything good has been said about this show because this show was actually popular and people still like it.

There were no hidden agendas, no need to force anything; Wonder Woman was simply written and portrayed as the powerful and feminine lead she had always been in the comics. Both boys and girls marveled at her feats and she was a role model to everyone.

Awesome show!
