Far better than expected.

Rating: 9/10 (6 September 2019)

This movie is incredible to look at and has a lead to match. It might not be the most original film but it doesn't need to be, it's a superhero origin story.
Gal is one of best bits of superhero casting of all time, she has very quickly made it her own and I couldn't imagine anyone else playing the character.
Chris Pine is brilliant as usual and there is a definite chemistry on screen.
The action is superb with some fantastic fight scenes.
Despite a number of reviews saying it was boring the pacing is one of the best aspects of the film. Knowing when to slow it down enough for us to get some build the characters and the world without ever letting it drag.
My only gripe is the final act isn't as strong as the first and second. A little predictable and a tad CGI heavy. That said there is one scene that with Chris that hits the mark perfectly.
A film that stands up on multiple rewatches I give this 9/10.
I fealt inclined to review this after reading so many of the sad little bed wetters give it one out of ten despite not actually finding much to say about it. Too many people afraid of a film about female hero, by a female director changing the status quo. I'm sure once these people move out of their mothers basement, stop thinking about the girls who rejected them at high school and get on with their lives, we might see more balanced opinions or at least honest reviews.
