Rating: 9/10 (3 June 2017)

This is one of the best movies of the year so far. The plot is interesting and the casting was great. Chris Pine was perfectly cast and Connie Nielsen and Robin Wright were both very good as the main Amazons. Danny Huston and Elena Anaya were terrific bad guys and David Thewlis is always great. And a special shout out to Lucy Davis who is marvelous providing some comic relief. But of course this is ultimately Gal Gadot's film and she was an impressive Wonder Woman. She's very tall and gorgeous of course so you knew that physically she would fit the bill well, but she really delivered in all of the scenes including the lighter moments. There is a lot of action including some really good scenes with the Amazons in the beginning of the film. The special effects were good, but not great (I did see the 3D version). I really loved the island of the Amazons set and would love to find a place like that to retire to. Even the vintage clothing in the film looked good. The movie moved quickly (especially the first hour and a half). All in all a very enjoyable time at the movies.
