Wonderful Woman

Rating: 9/10 (13 June 2017)

Let me get this out of the way because as you all know I am a Marvel boy. I want nothing more than to see Marvel movies and watch DC crash and burn as they make poor attempts at creating a film universe mirroring Marvel's very successful one. So far, my wish has been granted. While I really liked Man of Steel, the rest were nothing to write home about. But now that I have seen Wonder Woman I am compelled to buy as much paper and pen as possible to write home to all my family and friends that DC did something fantastic.
It speaks volumes what the difference in direction, action, villains, and actors will do. Gal Gadot, while no Oscar winner (yet), does an amazing job as the titular character. Surprisingly all the supporting cast also is great. Everyone has moments to shine, though Diana of Themyscira shines so very bright. Party Jenkins as the director was a fantastic choice as well, it's been a while since she's seen the light but as I stated. Everyone shines in this movie.
The previous movies in the world, Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad felt like footnotes to this movie. So much needless action and terrible writing along with wasted characters and motives that didn't make sense made this movies trash. It was even the talk of the town that critics were being paid to give bad reviews because they weren't Marvel movies but to all those psychos who couldn't wrap their head around the fact that they were just bad movies can now shut up for good. I am not the only critic who loves this movie. Last I checked it was at a 95 or above on rotten tomatoes and even high on Metacritic. I'm not a fan of rotten tomatoes but it says something that it's one of the highest rated movies. It's a big sign for DC and for super hero movies in general. Make them more like Wonder Woman.
I don't even want to go into what the movie is about because you need to go see it. It had amazing action scenes, tender and sad emotional scenes, and some laughs along the way. But we have now reached the stage of this review where I point out something that maybe could be a spoiler so I will say it as vaguely as possible. Basically there is a scene at an undisclosed part of the movie that is in a way identical to a Marvel movie. I'm not saying they copied it, but I'd like tot think it was an homage. If you notice it too, let me know or just ask me and I'll tell you but it's something that cannot be ignored. Obviously Marvel is king, but Wonder Woman is now queen and honestly I'm OK with that.
During the film I thought to myself multiple times that I will train my future daughter to be like Wonder Woman and I was so happy that young girls world wide will have an awesome role model to look up to. She does a great job being a powerful figure that can inspire girls and women and, hell, men too!
Take anyone to this movie. Take your daughter, take your sister, take your friends and family. Make this the date movie to save your marriage. Wonder Woman is truly wonderful, and she can kick my ass any day of the week.
