A wonderful movie full of heart, inspiration, and fun action - everything that a comic book movie is supposed to be.

Rating: 10/10 (1 June 2017)

Saw advanced release in Florida tonight in an AMC Dolby Digital theater. Just returned and I was so pleased at how well the story unfolded and how quickly 2 hours and 20 minutes passed. I purposely avoided spoilers. I read other reviews (non-spoiler) that claimed the 2nd act dragged. I didn't think it dragged at all. It was important to set up the third act and contained most of the humor. Gal Gadot shines brilliantly and IS Wonder Woman. All those detractors have some major crow to eat. She is beautiful, strong, engaging, convincing and amazing in the action sequences. Her presence is undeniable and those who whined that she was too...( fill in the blank) will be forced to reassess after seeing this movie. Story is tight. Chris Pine is excellent as a co-star but it's Gal's movie. The finale is impressive and leaves little doubt that Diana becomes a powerful force for good. She is what the DCEU Superman needs to evolve into and the one who can keep Batman on track. Her message of love and hope were strong and Patty Jenkins did a great job of mixing in humor, narrative, moving sequences and great, fun action. I will be seeing it again.
