I've never been a Wonder Woman fan, the ridiculous outfit always put me off much alike Superman and at time of writing haven't even watched the live action Gal Gadot filmFor this reason I went into this expecting very little so found myself blown away by just how good it is.Essentially an origin story it follows Diana from birth through to adulthood and her double pronged first mission to return a pilot to the world of man and to defeat Ares God Of War who has escaped confinement.It never fails to amaze me how good the voice talent is in these things. Here we have Keri Russell, Nathan Fillion, Alfred Molina, Rosario Dawson, Marg Helgenberger, Virginia Madsen, David McCallum and one of my favorite actors Oliver Platt.They do a fantastic job here as do the animators and the writers, I really enjoyed this. Is it ground breaking? Hardly, but considering it was a movie about a character I don't much care for they really knocked it out of the park.The Good:I love greek mythologyVery well writtenGreat voice castThe Bad:I still can't take the invisible jet seriouslyThings I Learnt From This Movie:Don't believe the lies about the stork or the sex thing, my eyes have been opened! Babies are molded from sand.Fighter jets floatThe man who created Wonder Woman was born in the 1800's, let that sink inHeroes have no appreciation for property damageBeing attacked by a god causes instant sobrietyThe question who ate all the pies has been answered, it was hades
... View MoreIf you like Wonder woman your in for a nice surprise. This film (and yes I said film because of it's live action feel)strikes at the core of Wonder Woman with brute force and modern appeal. The movie brings DCs greatest heroine to life with vivid animation that captures the best of your favorite comic book frames. Awesome animation. The characters are so substance rich that you'll forget your watching a "cartoon".Digging deep into the origin of Wonder Woman the film- makers have fun creating believable landscapes while holding to the mythical charms that endear us to the character of Wonder Woman. To put it plainly , Wonder Woman kicks a*s and does so with plain spoken angst.The movie even dabbles in giving us Wonder Womans approach to some of todays females while holding to true femininity. Great writing all around with audio that is completely in sync. This animated triumph gives hope to the Wonder Woman fan who is salivating for a serious live action film. Highly recommended, especially for the adult superhero buff.
... View MoreI've been disappointed by a lot of superhero movies lately, such as the overrated The Avengers, but I'm still surprised to find that I liked this little animated film *more* than a lot of big budget action movies. The action was good, the story was simple but engaging, the dialogue was sharp, and the movie lacked the sense of its own importance that drags down so many big budget superhero movies.Fast paced and often amusing, the movie creates a convincing Wonder Woman both fascinated and repelled by the outside world. While it's done in the style of TV series like Batman Beyond, it's just a shade more adult, with a far amount of death in battle and some mild innuendo. I wouldn't call it a memorable movie, but it was a consistently entertaining one.
... View MoreI was in two minds of whether this animated version of Wonder Woman would work, and to my delight it absolutely did. The dialogue between the gods at the beginning wasn't as good as that of the rest of the movie, but this is not enough to hurt the movie too much. The animation is wonderful, very like Justice League but that is a good thing in my eyes, with detailed backgrounds, fluid character designs and bold and atmospheric colours. The action is well paced and compelling, and never feels choppy or flabby. The music has a cool and catchy vibe to it, while the writing is funny and witty yet intelligent and sometimes tense and the story is entertaining and suspenseful. The characters are very likable and you do identify them from the get go, the women especially the titular character are really beautiful especially. The voice acting is very dynamic and expressive. All in all, a great movie and I agree it's one of the best DC movies. 9/10 Bethany Cox
