Wonderwoman is wondrous indeed

Rating: 10/10 (2 June 2017)

Following Man of Steel, Batman Vs Superman and Suicide Squad we now get the fourth installment in the DC Universe with Wonder Woman. There has been much talk about the quality of the first movies especially Batman Vs Superman, but let it be known now - Wonder Woman is better than any of the other DC movies and it surely gives new hope to the DC universe.
Gal Gadot is brilliant as the idealistically and honorable woman, brought up among amazon warriors on a remote island. Forced into the world by her idealism and her desire to help those in need she joins up with Chris Pine who plays the role of Steve Trevor with the same gusto as he plays Captain Kirk in Star Trek.
This is a great origin story for Wonder Woman and it seems a lot more detailed and involved than Man of Steel did for Superman.
Patty Jenkins has shown herself to be the right choice as a director of this movie - I personally can't help but wonder ( no pun intended ) if it's because this script was "rumored to be" locked almost a year before so no rewrites, no major changes etc - exactly the things the other DC movies are fighting with.
The words of Morgan Freemans character in Shawshank Redemption describes my feelings for this movie:
I find I'm so excited that I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head.
And for the future of DC:
-"I hope!"
