This film is a modern origin movie in the DC Comics universe which brings to screen Gal Gadot as the titular character of Wonder Woman. Living and trained by the Amazonians, a tribe of woman hidden away from civilization on the island of Themyscira, Diana - princess to the Amazonians, is finding her place in the world. In her mind she has lots of questions about her origins and her path in life. One day a male pilot, Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), crashes on the island shores. He tells stories of a massive conflict raging across the world, which the Amazonians are oblivious of. Diana decides that she want to help, taking what she needs she leaves with the Steve, much to the disappointment of the Amazonians. On her journey she encounters civilization for the first time and sees the travesties of man, a world war in all its gory glory. She feels that the war has been orchestrated by higher powers, so while fighting for humanity and discovering herself and her powers, she's also trying to uncover the source of evil driving humanity to the mass conflict of war. Directed by Patty Jenkins and written by Zack Synder this film is one of the gems in DC's sorry attempt to rival Marvel as a big player in the comic book to film franchises - sorry, but only a few DC film's found a level of creditability on screen. Set at the end of World War 1, thematically things were great, costumes seemed right, technology seemed right - it even felt like bleak and smoggy which makes the film feel as though it fits its time and place. The score was passionate and driving and fit the film well - to truly have a great superhero they need to have a theme, and Wonder Woman has one that stands up for itself well. The choreography was decent, a lot of the fighting felt like a ballet at times and it was visually please. The pace of the film was a bit cut and paste, long journeys seemed to happen within seconds with no transitioning - but a younger audience wouldn't be put off. The plot isn't really that complex and there are times when it feels like events of the first Henry Carvill Superman are mirrored in this film, down to the boss fight at the end. I think the acting was good, Gal Gadot - she was believable, naive, fierce - and everything you'd need throughout the film (albeit she occasionally adopted a superhero pose too often - maybe to remind people that she was a super). Chris Pine's Steve Trevor was the best character on-screen, he delivered depth and charm. My main issue was to do with the bad guys - the German's seemed very comical at times, rather than the scourge of the world. Dr Maru (Elena Anaya) could have been soo much more but ended up being a one dimensional baddy which seemed to be placed just to give the film a focal point. On to Ares (David Thewlis), where do we start - this is possibly a criticism of all the DCU films so far, like them Ares was a mess of CGI. Looking at him on screen hurt my senses - it was a let-down to have him as the linchpin to the evil in the film, he could have been soo much more. Honestly it looks like the Ares character was taken straight from a Playstation game, rather than something that had been added to the film on his own merit.All in all, I enjoyed the film. It was refreshing to have a strong female superhero as the lead. I think that from all the recent DCU films (I'm not counting early Superman, Green Lantern, or Batman films - or even Christopher Nolan Batman films), this has to be one of the best put out. It's a decent platform for them to get stronger and stronger. This is a good action film, good fantasy film, and film that can stand on its own should the viewer not be a fan of comics or other DC films. 8 out of 10

Nothing against Wonder Woman. I just feel it is overrated. At least she wears a short skirt and heels and shows off her womanhood. That's power, baby. Otherwise, they use the word Ares (I think, god of war) one too many times and I don't like that new Star Trek guy. He cannot act.

I'm not that one who watches loads of movies everyday, even if I love cinema and stuff, but when I came to watch this movie, I laughed so hard for how banal it was. The screenplay was horrendous, with dialogues so stupid it was like the script was written by the nine years old daughter of the producer. In kid movies I've seen more professionality than in this hundred millions dollars budgeted one. The acting was awful and mediocre, and only Chris Pine and Gal Gadot had characters with an actual personality. This personality was banal and static, yes, but at least the movie didn't get an 1 star rating for this. The bad guy is the WORST VILLAIN I HAVE EVER SEEN. Seriously, it's just ridiculous. Both Ares and the german officer were so stupid and nonsense that I laughed hard every time they were on screen. And finally, it follows Pearl Harbor in the side of historical veridicity, with some aspects that made me quite angry. The german soldiers look like static enemies of chinese RPGs, like statues with a bullseye drawn on the forehead. What? The war is a serious theme, and if you want to make a movie about the Great War, you make a pearl that describes accurately every little aspect of the trench life, the horror of war and the condition of the soldiers, or either you stop being a producer and start picking up manure along the train rails. Please. I think that if a german ww1 soldier watches this movie (they're all dead, but whatever), he would probably kill himself. How can you enjoy watching this commercial excrement comed out of mother Hollywood's big ass? How can this have so high ratings? This is not sufficient at all. How a mistake. DC is definitely dead.

Actually, all these 'comic' movies are like watching a video game. The industry has gotten caught up with CGI, that they won't consider doing anything else. I could see kids might enjoy this type of fluff, and even childlike ( and there are many of those ) adults, enjoying it too. I was looking at the list of all the movies that have been made on comic heroe's, and left out my one time favorite as a kid. "Captain Marvel", the shazam wonder, but i read recently that Ann Bening signed on, I guess as C. M.'s mother for the debut of this character hero. Lord help us. I guess, we will never see the likes of a "Casablanca" again.
