Wonder Woman Review
This review is a short non-spoilers review
I was incredibly hyped for this film, after the divisive
Batman V Superman and the fun yet rushed suicide squad a lot was riding on this
film the fate of the DCEU was pretty much riding on the quality of this film
and my god it did not disappoint
.
This film firstly did not cater to a specific gender like
some thought there was no shoving of overly feminist tones they were tastefully
handled and period appropriate, remember this was set in a time before women
had the vote. likewise this film did not make wonder woman a sexual icon, paying dues to the obvious that she is very attractive yet not focusing on it they focused on her power and personality, making her a symbol of strength and morality.
Criticisms of the DCEU films to date were based around the
plot, character motivations, Character representation and how close to the
source material they are. Let’s start with the story, unlike BVS there is a simple
and concise story that everyone can follow there is a bad guy and the good guys
its that simple there are twists but they are so simple to follow, and unlike suicide squad the villain had depth and purpose and wasn't so over powered that the hero shouldn't win.
Character Motivations were again simple it is the amazons purpose to protect the world, I can’t say more without
spoiling something. Finally, the character representation this is where this
film shines Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman is a perfect representation of the
character from her power to her personality and costume. It is like DC brought
wonder woman to life.
All in all this film is in my opinion as close to perfect as
any movie could be its true to the source material, it is coherent and easy to
follow it is fun and there isn’t a boring or dull scene in the movie every
scene either has awe inspiring action, well executed comedy or emotion inducing
romance or mixes of all three. It is a truly a leap up for the DCEU not only
that but wonder woman is now for me the
bench mark for new superhero movies.
It is very clear that Warner Bros have listened and learned from the previous two films and made changes accordingly.
At least it is great at most its perfect a 10/10 from me.
