What is love? Baby don't hurt me.

Rating: 8/10 (20 October 2019)

I knew little of Gal Gadot before seeing Wonder Woman, and I had some reservations about her playing a hero who rivals the power of Superman. Just a glance at Gadot it was obvious she could pull off the beauty and grace of the goddess, but I had my doubts that she could display the sheer power that has amplified since the days of the great Lynda Carter. My doubts were so very unfounded, Gadot proved to be the only choice for a contemporary Wonder Woman.
The only problem I really had with this movie was the inclusion of a love interest. I see some parallels between Wonder Woman and Thor. Both of these protagonists could have stood on their own without any romantic relationships. These movies could have been used to show that the heart-shaped crutch is unnecessary, and that men and women can work together without sleeping with each other.
