A great important comic book movie

Rating: 8/10 (1 June 2017)

There was so much riding on this film and I was really excited for wonder woman and I can happily say that this is a great film that I really enjoyed. The premise of this film set in ww1 as it sees an amazonian princess go on a mission with an American pilot to try and stop the war. Gal gadot made her debut as wonder woman in dawn of justice but this is her solo movie now and she does a truly great job. She sells the physicality of the role and she did a really good job in the action scenes, but I was truly surprised by the humour and humanity that she really bought to the role. Chris pine plays Steve Trevor in this film and I thought he was fantastic in the role, he had likability, charisma and a great chemistry with gadot, i enjoyed watching their relationship develop and his performance was so enjoyable. However, I gotta be honest the rest of the cast doesn't really add anything to this film especially when it comes to the villains and it does bring this film down. The story has a great fish out of water coming of age story for Diana and I truly bought it. I loved her development in this film and how her development with Steve Trevor really drew me into the story and seeing how Diana really develops in this world of man. The script was a really surprise as I found this film pretty funny at times, especially with the great drama used as well. It really adds a lot of depth too the main characters and really helps. The style of the film is quite contrasting, there is some great action scenes especially in no man's land that sold women woman as a hero. However, this film really overuses slow-mo that i really found a bit irritating and the final fight does overuse CGI and I found it the least interesting part of the film. Overall though this is a truly great comic book film that in my opinion does need to be watched.
