"Im both frightened and aroused."

Rating: 8/10 (15 June 2017)

Wonder Woman is, as it seems after the first critic reviews, movie- goers' impressions and financial success, an answer to the age old question asked not just by DC fans, but also critics, film lovers and Hollywood itself - Can DC make good movies (again)? After seeing Wonder Woman last night I can say that Marvel might have a tougher opponent than we've thought. So yes, DC is back! And who do we have to thank? It would take long to describe all the positive aspects of this film; ranging from the script which isn't rough at all - the dialogue flows smoothly, it's not trying to be "Marvel funny", and therefore feels real almost to the point of losing the feeling of watching a movie; to fitting, this time even colorful sets, great action pieces and other scenes, and to the biggest stars - the actors. Gal Gadot is a perfect choice. As Wonder Woman she's highly likable, true, convincing, strong but not independent, and she works great with co-actor Chris Pine, who is at the very top with his performance, right next to Gadot. The side characters vary from underdeveloped, yet believable to completely unimportant. Luckily, the movie doesn't suffer from this. We can point out two flaws. Usually Marvel has poorly written villains but now it seems DC tried to beat them at that. No worries. But then there's the CGI which gets heavy at times. All in all the flaws are overshadowed by the good. Now the question is how will Justice League do. If I tie this to a line from the film:"Im both frightened and aroused."
