Wonder Woman (review)

The DC comics universe has been trying to catch up with Marvel for years and this may be the movie that does it. This origin story starts on a secluded island where she lives among the Amazons. When a handsome spy crash lands (charmingly amusing Chris Pine), he brings the bleak reality of WWI, which motivates her to fight for peace. Gal Gadot is beautiful and vulnerable, yet tough in the title role. Perfect casting. Director Patty Jenkins has fashioned an adventure with strong visuals and beautifully stylized action. As with so many superhero flix, it could have been 30 minutes shorter. Also, the climactic battle fell back on the typical tropes of a tired superhero encounter. Still, it checks most of the boxes for a visually appealing and amply engaging superhero movie.

 

4 out of 5 stars (4 / 5)
