Wonder woman was, dare i say, wonderful! I realize DC has struggled in
critic and fans eyes with making a good film within their new shared
film universe. While i, personally have enjoyed each installment,
starting at MAN OF STEEL, to BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE, and
most recently SUICIDE SQUAD, I can see where most people are left with a
little sour taste in their mouths. They haven't been Marvel movies
where almost each addition is absolutely outstanding and stellar or
at least acceptable for the film universe's sake, but they've just
started and are still on their baby feet. Wonder woman is a great
turning point for great things in the future. My one problem with the
storyline was the motivation at the climax of the film that was off
putting and unsettling for the origin of this character. I won't spoil
any part of it for anyone, but if it was a subtle thing somewhere WITHIN
wonder woman's character arc, I would've classified this film as a
perfect origins movie for the character. After all, this was the
characters first stab at a big screen adaptation and aside from that
little tid bit, it was incredibly solid and exactly what DC needed to
move forward with future installments. The supporting characters were
even interesting to watch and chris pine, who played Captain Steven
Trevor, was a great opposite to gal gadots Diana Prince.
The next
thing we can look forward to comes out this November with the first part
of Justice League which is shaping up to be an excellent follow up to
wonder woman.
This is the part where I usually feel okay with my
quick review, but I'm having a hard time wrapping this one up. I'm going
to take that as a good sign.
I'm under the enchantment of the lasso
of truth: this movie has been the best ive seen so far this year next
to guardians of the galaxy volume 2.
enjoy
