Great and inspiring, with okay cgi

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2017)

i overheard a few fans at premiere day calling it a bad movie, that Gal's performance was weak, that she lacked the fierce and bold character, it wasn't feminist enough, I just couldn't see any of that after watching the movie.. Besides the okay CGI, the film almost met my expectations, and they were pretty high. Those that complain on the lack of wonder woman's boldness, independence and feminism know too little on parenting, Diana's mom did not allow her to abide by the philosophies of a being a warrior at a young age, which means that Diana would grow as an innocent and naive young lady. Yes she has her training, yes people wanted her character to be just as Antiope's was, but you have to be wise enough to understand that she is still too young and unfamiliar to threat, someone who was first raised as a sweet, pacifist, respectful and innocent little girl protected by her mother. She then walks into a world full of violence, which she was not ready for psychologically, This "lack of feminism" I constantly hear about outstandingly appears when she stands strong against high ranking officers and leaders, denouncing them as cowards in hiding, while her desire was to fight injustice alongside those in the front lines, proving that she is worthy of being Wonder Woman. To be honest, Gal portrays the perfect woman, who respects Steve, listens to Steve, dressed up for Steve, follows Steve, but also challenges him and other people when she knows her beliefs are justified and takes action herself without their approval, but never goes psycho and nuts like 99% of women in this world. She led the men into battle, where even a blind man can see that the indecisive soldiers were under the right leader. Once she stands up against the evils of men and war, she tenderly goes back to Steve and dances with him. As the proudly straight, women loving man that I am, I applaud this character and film for standing up against the overused and awful baby and sandwich making-only stereotype. It didn't meet my expectations because the villain was a disappointment. The film did a great job hyping it up, only to finally see Ares as an old and laughable looking villain. And just like Batman vs superman, this film was setting up for what's to come in justice league, can't wait!
