After a really long time there is finally another female superhero movie and possibly the first good one ever.
The film is directed by Patty Jenkins and stars Gal Gadot and Chris Pine in the main roles.
Plot
As a young child Diana Prince was raised by the amazonian race on a hidden island, that cannot be seen from the outside.
Only women live on the island and all of them are trained warriors.
Diana just wants to become a warrior herself, but her mother, Queen Hippolyta, stops her from training...
Good casting choicesFirst, I think it was a good idea to hire a female director for this movie, who could really showcase wonder woman as a strong and independent character.
Gal Gadot was also a nice choice and she brings much charisma to the role and also has the exotic look to play wonder woman.
She also has enough chemistry with Chris Pine and there were some funny moments between them.
The action was stylish overall and fun to look at, with some impressive scenes.
I think the CGI was well made for the most part.
Forgettable villains
Like with many superhero movies, the villains here were the weakest point and there was really nothing special about them.
Generally the CGI was fine, but the ending went a bit too far, I think the action scenes in the middle were much better.
The story itself also could have had some more depth, but since this is a superhero movie, I think it is fine as it is.
Bottom line
Overall I think wonder woman is a good superhero movie and a success for DC. I hope they will continue in that direction, since i didn't really like Batman V Superman or Suicide Squad.
Also it is nice to finally see a female superhero in a decent movie.
