Movie for every woman, girl, and man

Rating: 10/10 (4 June 2017)

Walking out of Wonder Woman, my husband and I instantly thought about how much our sons and granddaughters would like this movie. Although its creators playfully and conveniently mix Greek and Roman mythologies (names of Diana paired with Zeus and Ares, for example, and Ares rather than Apollo--who's not in the movie--laying claim to divine truthiness), the plot more than works and holds together logically. There is no foul language. In the Greek tradition, goriness is not shown "on the stage." The audience realizes that people have been decapitated, impaled, etc., but the gore is not shown, so girls will not run from the theater and boys will not get aroused by the wrong stuff.
Diana is not a sexualized hero although she and the leading man are certainly sexual beings in the best and modest senses. Fighting is like the Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon sort, though not quite so "Ninja." A special effects Oscar is a definite probably.
And the acting is SO good despite the fantasy element. The hero is like a combo of Pitt, Damon, and DiCaprio in their youth. The Amazonian accents are a little disarming, but since all the Amazons are supposedly polyglots, it's okay. And they do sound a little Israeli like the leading lady.
This is a funny, laugh-out-loud script. The ending is inevitable since the script is honest and intelligent.
I haven't really liked an action movie since The Fugitive, but this one I loved!
