Gal Gadot's greatness ends our search for a worthy female protagonist!

Rating: 8/10 (27 June 2017)

A beautiful movie showcasing an awe-inspiring female protagonist who brilliantly portrays an iconic comic book character that never really got its due till now. Patty Jenkins deserves lavish praise for the sensitivity, empathy, and grace that she infuses in Wonder Woman. Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman is spot on, creating a memorable character that now occupies pride of place in a pantheon hitherto dominated by male superheroes. Sigh! If only this movie had come before Dawn of Justice! Only two points of discord; the movie takes its time pacing the viewer through WW's early stages - bad news for viewers battling attention deficit issues. Then the villain lacks punch and isn't quite worthy of WW's golden lasso. Barring these debatable issues, this is a movie ya gotta see, one that presses all pleasure parameters!
