Loved it, loved it, LOVED IT!!!

Rating: 9/10 (7 July 2017)

The main reason why I loved this film is because it showed strong women without the narrative of their empowerment being contrived. In other words, no one was yelling "LOOK, I'M A WOMAN AND I'M STRONG"; their strength was displayed in their action. For me, the best parts were the fighting sequences (especially the battles on Themyscira and No Man's Land), Wonder Woman's compassion for people (in a time where women were suppressed, she stood tall because she understood/embraced her purpose), the "fish out of water" plot was done well, Diana and Steve's chemistry (their banter was hilarious; kudos to Gal and Chris), Queen Hippolyta and General Antiope were awesome (Connie Nielsen and Robin Wright were amazing) and most of all, the Amazonians were diverse, which is socially relevant nowadays. A few scenes moved a little too slow for me, which I can overlook as I feel that happens with most origin stories I watch. Overall, I LOVED this film; the only person that loved it more than me is my 8 year old daughter. She felt so empowered she turned to me and said "Daddy, I feel so strong right now, like I can punch through a wall!!!"
