Wonder Woman
This is a film that many people, myself included, have been looking forward to for many years. Wonder Woman has obviously been tackled several times but not to a standard that would satisfy fans. Now, after she initially appeared in Batman v Superman, she has her own movie.
The film is an origins one showing where Diana came from and how she discovered her super powers. Although the film is set in the time of the Second World War it does begin and end in current times with an old photograph providing the anchor for the story.
So was it any good? Hell yes, we now have a believable heroine who we are looking forward to seeing more of. The action was good with CGI used where needed but not overpowering the film. Gal Gadot is gorgeous and has the physique to pull off the character and she can act which is not always a given nowdays. Chris Pine is very good as the man whos life Diana saves and who draws her into the real world away from her Amazon origins. He is certainly the weaker of the two although he and his friends are the anchors for Diana as she tries to understand the 'modern' world.
Its a film that has finally thrown of DC's reputation for lacklustre films and puts them on par with Marvel at least as far as this film is concerned. Lets hope they keep it up.
