*My Thoughts*
Note: This review contains NO spoilers
Well, hmmm... How do I start? Where do I start? Thinking back, the film felt like a feel good movie, especially for women. I enjoyed Gal Gadot's portrayal of DC's superhero. This film blended various elements, such as: romance, humor, history, and action, together that worked well and brought an enjoyable "origins" story. However, I couldn't help but feel that the movie was a bit slow, except for all those action scenes...haha! Anyways, all together the story unraveled fluidly giving me a full rounded story. There was a brief introduction of Diana's childhood and growing years that gave me a bit of a background on who Diana is. Of course, being raised apart from the world, she did display a good amount of naiveté that Gal Gadot expressed well throughout the film.
The character development was beautiful. The cast portrayed their characters well. I did enjoy Chris Pine's portrayal of his character, and the humor that went along with the character. The world building.... Wow! There was a good amount of realism. Now that Gal Gadot has done an incredible job in bringing Wonder Woman to life, it is hard to picture anyone else playing that role. Of course, Linda Carter was also a favorite Wonder Woman. So, there's no way I am going to compare these amazing actors! Haha!! And, that twist in the storyline....Really!?! Now, that was somewhat a surprise. Who would have thought...that he was the one!?!
Anyways, the cast was definitely on point throughout the film... Well, I thought so. I loved that the romance between Diana and Steve Trevor was subtle, and it worked well on how it unraveled. I can watch this film over again...even maybe a few more times...haha!! Oh, and it is great that this film is female-led, too!
It's no wonder that the film is so successful! Wonder Woman is a fresh and entertaining film that all the elements that made it so interesting.
