In a word: Wonderful

Rating: 10/10 (9 June 2017)

WONDER WOMAN (2017) **** Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright, Danny Huston, David Thewlis, Said Taghmaoui, Ewen Bremner, Eugene Brave Rock, Lucy Davis, Elena Anaya. Finally the superhero(one) film we've all been waiting for - the big-screen adaptation of DC Comics' Amazonian princess warrior, Diana (full-bodied, fierce and fun Gadot) fulfills her tribes' prophecy to defend mankind from the injustices of the world she cohabits including WWII Nazis with the able help of American spy/pilot Steve Trevor (dreamy and dead-panned Pine making for a dynamic duo) who enlists her with deft skill and sudden love for. Well-crafted screenplay by Allan Heinberg with Zaach Snyder, Allan Heinberg & Jason Fuchs' well-oiled machine of a storyline faithful to William Moulton Marston's creation. Big props to Patty Jenkins for proving her mettle as a filmmaker with the best of them incorporating some jaw-dropping stunt-work, fight sequences and CGI dazzle while allowing her showcase for the one female empowerment generations can all agree on. In a word: wonderful.
