The story begins as a child Diana asks her mother permission to train to be an Amazon warrior, and does in defiance of her mother with her aunt, Amtiope, the General in Chief of the Amazon warriors. We watch Diana's progress on this island over ten years as a warrior. Diana is at the shore when part of the world we live in intrudes into her world. The intruder, tells her enough that she goes back to the world of men with him. Steve Trevor,played by Chris Pine shows her World War I. Diana assists ,in a big way in closing out her belief system while helping for the British in WWI The action sequences with the help of magnetic special effects are engrossing. Both leads and all supporting cast are substantial but not exceptional. The film as a whole deserves praise. End
