Wonder Woman [Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray + Digital Download + Limited Edition Statue] [2017]

Totally makes up for the other lacklustre DC universe films. Prior to watching this the only DC film I'd even vaguely enjoyed was Suicide Squad, because inspite of how terrible it was, at least it was something other than yet another Batman or Superman reboot. At this point I'd pretty much given up on DC and got my superhero fix from Marvel.This film changes everything, it is pretty much perfect. Amazing story, fantastic soundtrack, and Gal Gadot nails it as Wonder Woman. This film actually makes me excited for the next DC release, I just hope they've learned their lesson about what their audience wants and continue to give us films like this.

Fantastic! I loved it, a great story with some great acting, a real hit for DC! Chris Pine is good as the male lead but Gal Gadot is the true star, she is convincing in Diana's naivety and passion and conveys her dismay with humanity sincerely. She also has convincing chemistry with Pine and the comic moments together are well crafted. I watched it twice in three days because I felt my wife just had to see it, she loved it too!

So let's begin with two obvious points.1) this is a superhero movie2) the hero is a womanSo, this means that this film will appeal to two audiences (i) superhero movie fans and (ii) women who want a her who looks like them.This is arguably the same premise as Marvel's Captain Marvel. But this latter film fell flat, at least in the view of the male members of my family. The girls loved it. But it didn't really have the wow factor to be a top, top superhero film. Myself and my son (and my wife, oddly) were left feeling flat. Like we'd been in a film produced by brainstorm where the question was "how do we bring gender equality into the MCU" - we felt manipulated and not entertained.None of these problems affects Wonder Woman.The plot is strong. Wonder Woman takes on the proto-Nazi's of World War 1 AND battles the God of War whilst supported by a Yankee, an Arab hustler, a Native American and a drunk Scot.This feels like vintage Captain America - and, indeed, WW packed the punch of the first MCU Captain America movie.More importantly, though, WW felt like I was reading a comic book. A vintage comic book. I half expected to see ads for Sea Monkeys and Charles Atlas's muscle growth plan appear at certain points in the drama.Gal Gadot was excellent as Wonder Woman (her Israeli accent had the fun side effect of making every other woman of the Amazon Nation speak in a copycat Israeli accent - hysterical for those of us who know real Israelis).The Love story was believable. The Action story was gripping. The Ancient Mythology bent the truth a lot (and had the film's only logical flaw: Zeus seems to have been murdered before Diana (WW) came into being at his hand - odd that!).All together a 10/10.

Along with Atomic Blonde my favourite films of 2017. It's too rare that women feature so well in films and I just love the ratio of women to men. A female protagonist who "wins" is such a pleasure to watch. A very engaging film, well constructed. Real super hero stuff!

Not a great watcher of superhero movies, but I remember enjoying the Wonder Woman TV series with Lynda Carter in the late '70s. So I thought I'd try this one. I really enjoyed it. There was a coherent story, with a beginning, middle, and end - something which seems to be missing from many CGI-heavy films these days. I watched it all the way through without pausing once which is a good sign since I usually start to get bored before we're half way through and need to go make a cuppa, and check the internet for excitement. So yes, it's worth a watch.

Gal Gadot is WONDERFUL! There is a scene in the Trenches where she leads a charge into machine guns that is pure cinematic gold. I wanted to stand and cheer and cry and punch the air; the woman is breathtaking! Forget Germaine Greer and the Spice Girls and every other female roll model you've ever seen; let your little angel be inspired by Wonder Woman. Macho men move over. Stand aside for the lady in the red and blue. She is legendary, immense, a true super hero!

As an origin story, this was great! O.K. it did borrow from 300 in some scenes but that did not detract from the overall impression the film gave.Now as an in historian myself i know that American media finds that recorded time is a flexible concept and somewhat conveniently nonlinear to it's entertainment objectives which in a film like this works great, but not when you've got a president that thinks this way too. Nevertheless TRUMP V Wonder Woman, like to see that sequel!

I bought this for my daughter to watch, it's Wonder Woman with modern CGI - loads of fun.I actually bought it for me.Gal Gadot. Man alive.I'd crawl naked over broken glass to paint circles on the bottom of her recycling bin.
