Colour in a DC movie!

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2017)

Wonder Woman: the first female led Superhero hero movie in this new era of superheroes and the first actually really good DC movie since the Dark Knight.
I am so glad I can say this is good, because it could very easily failed horribly but thanks to the confidence of the director (Patty Jenkins) and the performance of Gal Gadot, which is very similar to Christopher Reeves in the original Superman, make this a superb movie.
And unlike other DC movies there's COLOUR, by God there is colour in this movie and its glorious- Themyscira looks almost mythical in appearance. They also don't shy away from the horror of war, not going full blown war movie but enough to feel the real.
The acting is also on point with a lot of subtle actions which just adds to the performances, and the film has a lot of slow moments to build up the characters, it's not all action.
But where WW falls is the ending, it's like every other DC movie a mass of CGI at night which is really disappointing as it was great up to then and saying that there's still good stuff happening but would be great if I can see the entirety of it. The other issue is the villian like all other Superhero movies are unremarkable- Aries would be better as a concept rather than an actual thing.
Nonetheless Wonder Women is a fantastic movie which display a strong female character that transcends gender and is simply a strong likeable character. And unlike Ghostbusters 2016, WW doesn't treat men as idiots or arseholes- this is a movie for both men and women and is an enjoyable out-of-world story with some fantastic action sequences told with a great sense of earnest.
I give Wonder Women a B+
