Terrific film. Believe the critics and the box office records.

Rating: 9/10 (11 June 2017)

I took my 11 year old daughter to see this. She doens't miss a superhero flick. I, on the other hand, have superhero fatigue. I thought this would be a gaudy, cheesy Thor-fest.
But this movie absolutely delighted both of us. It held my attention all the way through, and I really pulled for the characters. Gal Gadot was born to play that role. It's an understatement to say she's gorgeous. But I was really amazed with how vulnerable she was for the first half of the film. Her naive nature was very charming as she began to learn the world of humans. Her fascination with Steve T was genuinely humorous. And then, as she witnessed atrocities, her disgust and sorrow was believable.
Diana was a warrior and a half. The battle scenes were impressive and innovative. She seemed to get stronger as the movie went on, reaching Superman levels of power. While her fellow Amazons were felled by bullets, she seemed more bullet-proof. Her final victory over Ares was something to witness.
On the negative side, it was too long. Could've used a nip and tuck to trim out 15 minutes. And the bad guys were quite broad and campy. The General was almost mustache twirling evil. And Ares was played by a doughy guy who actually had a huge mustache that he could've twirled. He was mediocre as the all-powerful God that Diana has to take down. That's the goofy guy from Harry Potter after all. Not exactly a commanding God-like actor. Anyway...
Check it out. You'll love it. Best superhero movie since the Dark Knight.
