DC's little wonder

Rating: 8/10 (16 June 2017)

So far the best DCEU film, although that is not a difficult task. I really expected the film to fail until the first reviews came in. And while it is not a perfect film, its a very good superhero drama with many great elements. Putting Patty Jenkins on the director chair was a brave and inspired choice and it paid off. She did a fantastic job creating the world around this iconic character. And not only when it comes to story telling Jenkins succeeded, also the action scenes were perfectly choreographed. Another reason why the film works so well is leading actress Gal Gadot who was already the best thing in Batman Vs. Superman and now again convinces with her charismatic performance that has a lot of depth to it. Chris Pine was also decent enough and an ideal choice for that role. I had loved to see more of the amazon mythology especially with Robin Wright's great character but the World War I setting also gave the film a good touch. And they did the implementation better than Marvel did with the first Captain America. The score was great, the cinematography and editing wonderful. I could have done with less slow motion moments but in general this is for DC to go the right direction with.
