Finally, after the atrocities of this cinematic universe's earlier entries we have a great film

Rating: 7/10 (8 June 2017)

I was very pleases with the outcome of Wonder Woman and it is a real relief for comic book movie fans after the mess of BvS and Suicide Squad. I like pretty much every part of this film, from the amazing DC logo at the beginning of the film teasing the future of DC and Warner Bros.' cinematic universe to the acting to the script. An empowering film that represents women in film like none other before. Just think about the female lead superhero films that were predecessor of this film. (hmmm, Catwoman and Supergirl).
On the point of having a whole new representation of women in film I have to say it was handled quite brilliantly and seamlessly. Patty Jenkins did not push the thing so much that it becomes on the ball and as many of you who have met the 'extreme feminists' may know, they do not represent women in their best light.
Anyways, I thought that Gal Gadot and Chris Pine were both really good, and I very much liked the fish out of water situation depicted in both Themyscira and London. I thought that the film remained faithful to the source material in terms of this and also in terms of the costume. Gal Gadot is just so well casted in my opinion, despite the earlier criticisms. She nails it as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince, she sold the naivety act and still was able to sell bad ass combat sequences. Resulting in a very likable and strong female lead character.
Another highlight I would like to mention is the opening scene on Themyscira, which once again focuses on the empowerment of women, but the whole battle sequence between the Amazons and the Germans was just so cool and exciting and Themyscira had such a great immersive and mystic aura I really enjoyed.
Now about David Thewlis as Ares, I can see that they are going for the older NEw 52 Ares yet I personally would've liked to see the old blue armour wearing, more menacing version of the character. Although Thewlis is great and I can see the reasonings behind his casting I would've loved to see that younger and more threatening Ares, because at the end of the day Thewlis just seems like a rather nice guy.
