An absolute gem!

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 2017)

We see how the little Princess Diana, the daughter of Queen Hippolyta of the island of Themyscira, grows up to be a great warrior and a superhero. Against her mother's will she leaves the bright world of Themyscira to the dark and grey real world, in the middle of the World War I with Captain Steve Trevor, an American pilot who just earlier crashed in the coast of Themyscira tailed by German soldiers. In the real world Diana has to hide her true identity and goes by the name of Diana Prince. Convinced that the God of War Ares is responsible of all the conflict she starts to fight the Germans (not yet Nazis this early in history) in search for Ares that hides in plain sight as a human.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this movie. Wonder Woman is a wonderful origin story of a great superhero. The ordinary, but still great story is beautifully written by Zack Snyder, Allan Heinberg and Jason Fuchs. Patty Jenkins' directing is absolutely flawless, the scenes are just pleasure to watch, and all the actors are very comfortable in their roles. None of the characters are annoying in any way (not even Steve's funny secretary Etta Candy) which is quite rare in superhero movies where usually many of the actors are just pretentious posers. The editing is perfect, the story goes smoothly from beginning to the end. Rupert Gregson-Williams' score is beautiful and brings out a feeling of a real adventure. The film's tone is brighter, lighter and softer than in DC films in general, which suits Wonder Woman. All the jokes are in the right place and there's no unnecessary forced comedy. The action is not throughout the film, which is good, because even in the wartime the action is not everywhere all the time. The fighting scenes are stunning and the slow motions make the scenes pleasant and you can really see what's happening when many characters fight against each other. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with Zack Snyder's involvement as one of the writers. If you have failed to understand Man Of Steel or Batman vs Superman, don't blame the wrong man. For DC Entertainment good stories are so much more important than just the easiest way to the cash and the audience with the Marvel way. Wonder Woman must be watched fairly without any comparison. You should check your attitude before watching this. If you expect to see cgi driven nonstop action in all the colours of the rainbow surrounding a thin story line, you will be disappointed. This is NOT a Marvel movie. Wonder Woman has been praised for a good reason and is not overrated in any way. I understand that this is a good place for the angry Marvel fans to throw in their ignorant 1/10 reviews with made up flaws to deliberately make the score to drop. There just aren't any grounds for most of the allegations. DC is getting lots of unnecessary rumouring and negative discredit every time they come out with a new movie. The simple truth is that Wonder Woman is an absolute gem among superhero movies!
