It's a Wonder it Took This Long

Rating: 9/10 (4 June 2017)

For one of the 1st $100 M budgeted, woman-directed, superhero movies, it was truly wonderful to experience. Let's hope the results of this opening weekend's box office(ending 6/4/17) starts to crack that glass ceiling in Hollywood.
Overall Wonder Woman does a great job of balancing seriousness, humor, and action. The cast plays off each other so well that you can forgive the few minor missteps in some side-story plot devices & in the 3rd act that are used the story.
The ensemble cast works so well together and scenes between Godot and each character are written so well and acted so realistically that you forgive those small missteps.
Godot is so good. So good at the physical, emotional, and naivete/fish out of water tightrope that she needed to walk to make this film work. You walk with Godot in every step throughout the film and through her she allows you to believe in her and in something greater. With everything, Diana's experiencing in this new world and everything happening currently in our world; you want to believe.
After watching this movie it is my belief Godot will be the hero for several generations inspiring young and old. If you weren't crushing on Chris Pine before. I promise you will now. Don't worry, we'll make room for you on the bandwagon.
Wonder Woman is not a perfect film. It doesn't have to be. It's a great film. It's a damn fine film. It's the perfect film to launch an era. An era that should not have to exist. In 2017 can't the director list be 25/25/25/25 and have more shades than white?
Jenkin's "WW" is currently the best film the DCEU has to date. Godot has consistently been a bright light in this developing universe. Honorable mention for Affleck's portrayal of Wayne/Batman as being one of the best. Let's hope the bonfire that was lit this weekend provides enough illumination to the Powers-That-Be that says two things:
One - let directors - direct. Two - open up the field - men aren't the only gender that can direct.
