Epic fighting, good background story and narrative in general, a few cringy moments but overall very good (contains spoilers)

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2017)

I was really concerned about the DCU after I saw the ridiculous plot drive in Batman vs. Superman and the clichés used in Suicide Squad as well as their chaotic construction of the narrative (a really poor job on the director's behalf) which ruined both films for me. Fortunately, it seems that director Patty Jenkins had more sense than directors Zack Snider and David Ayer as the film is so well constructed that not only do you feel immersed in the story but you are allowed time to actually know most of the characters and develop a connection (Antiope, Sameer, Charlie or The Chief). Thus when one of these characters meets an unfortunate end, you actually feel something for said character.
Elena Anaya does an amazing job in her performance as Dr. Maru, Chris Pine is perfect for the role of Steve Trevor and Gal Godot of course shines as Wonder Woman. A round of applause should also go to the two amazing actresses who portray Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen) and Antiope (Robin Wringht). Overall the movie saved the DCU and stole Marvel's thunder (finally!).
On the down side, there are a few cringy moments right around the end after Steve takes off to save the day and Diana reveals that she is fighting for love (a good message but it could have been portrayed better) as well as the villain reveal. I mean come on! Lupin from Harry Potter? I just can't see that guy being Ares. He's a very good British actor but David Thewlis just didn't seem right for the part if you ask me.
All in all, the movie is good, awesome job Patty Jenkins for this lovely DCU representation.
