Redeems DC, a foot forward for women in movies

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2017)

Lol, sorry for all the people unable to get on the hype train or just not comic book fans, but i liked this a lot- it finally had what other DCEU movies lacked, namely a heart and brought joy to the hero. Chemistry between the leads was good, and not to forget it was an origin story so setting up a character takes up a large portion of time. Yet, it never falls into the joyless narrative mess of Batman vs Superman, and certainly has more gravitas than most of the cookie cutter Marvel films.
The thing that really sold it was looking next to me and seeing young family members, all girls smiling with joy. If that isn't an overwhelming sign of success for this particular film, i don't know what is.
