What DC really needed, without complexes

Rating: 8/10 (10 August 2017)

After the failure on criticism by Suicide Squad and Batman v Superman, DC brings us a movie of pure origins, using the same formula that led Marvel to the top. An easy to follow plot but not too simple, well stuck touches of humor and a "recyclable" villain, as well as the impressive special effects make for the viewer this movie all along enjoyable.
Under the great direction of Patty Jenkins and, despite many wouldn't like to hear this, Zach Snyder does a wonderful job as a scriptwriter, DC brings a story centered in a flashback, where we can see the princess Diana and her development process to become Wonder Woman. The interesting thing about this story, despite focusing on the First World War and showing without hesitation the human evil, is that the values that they want to convey with this character are that there are still things to fight for. The same idea that was present in Henry Cavill Superman but with a much better result.
In terms of performance, no one can deny that Gal Gadot is the perfect Wonder Woman, a flawless performance, where she shows throughout the film how her character is gradually maturing. The touches of humor fit her perfectly and makes her character trustworthy, a woman without fear that fights against any opposition and with very clear values, perfection.
The soundtrack of the character that we were already introduced in Batman v Superman makes you sense very powerful action scenes and you feel every movement.
In terms of special effects, CGI is much better introduced here than in Batman v Superman, but they overuse slow motion again, although, the close-ups are perfectly involved.
In conclusion, it is possibly the best film of this DC new universe, but I do not think that they should be limited to this. It is a very good movie of origins but I hope that they continue working and that we see movies with a bigger plot in the future. For the time being, the to-do of the DCEU are the villains, better call Nolan for that.
