cut above the rest

spoiler guys!
just gonna jump straight in on this 1. first off, i've never seen a superhero film like this before....from start to finish the film was mind blowing! the setting was beautiful, esp of the home of the Amazons, every bit of imagery in this film was captured very well. the film wasted no time in telling diana's story from child to adulthood, to her training, to her finding steve trevor. her very first contact with man. this discovery of man and his ideologies and struggle influenced diana to want to go out and save man's world. they could've spent more time on the island but they didn't.
then entered diana into man's world with steve trevor and like fish out of water, the film captivated her innocence/ vulnerability. steve trevor was her guide and friend and has just as much moral as she does; both parties make a good pair. we then got to see diana's interaction with regular people and she stood out based on her beliefs of what life should be and fighting style. she went from diana, an innocent amazon to a full fledged fighting machine- a wonder woman.
she didn't know the extent of her true powers and as the film progressed...she learned more about herself...sadly enough she learned her true identity from the enemy-ares. my my my what a surprise that turned out to be. i was totally blown away by his revelation because we were all affixed on danny houston being ares. here wonder woman met her match in an all out battle with a god and my was it epic!
don't wanna ruin 2 much...all i can say is that her viewpoints of life and the outside world changed forever, she realised that man can be corrupted on their own and even though that maybe be the case, they're still some good in all this evil. steve was trying to explain this to her, i'm glad she realised on her own...he then made the ultimate sacrifice of becoming a hero himself by giving his life to save millions of people. a sacrifice that was necessary.
it was a very sad and at the same time wonderful end. to sum up, this story was well written, well cast movie, well directed, everything's on point. this movie is the best movie i've ever seen in the longest while. i love all the dc/dceu movies so far, but you can't deny the greatness of this one. this movie is simply 'a cut above the rest'.
