WONDER WOMAN - A real Wonder !

WONDER WOMAN


Gal Gadot first came out as Wonder Woman in the widely-panned BATMAN v SUPERMAN last year. Several critics lashed out on the movie for varied reasons. One thing they all agreed though was that everyone was excited to see the Amazon Princess on the silver screen for the first time. She nearly stole the show from the two male superheroes.

Comic book fans eagerly awaited the solo outing of Wonder Woman. After so many directors, writers, and actors rumoured to be part of the project, the time has come when WW arrived in cineplexes. She didn't disappoint ! Early reactions from advance screenings were mostly positive, saying the movie was great ! Finally a DCEU movie that critics loved !  Rotten Tomatoes gave it a certified fresh rating of 96% (initially).


WW tells the origin story of the titular character from the time she was a little girl up to when she realized her full potential. There were many instances in the film where I found myself feeling mesmerized ! Themyscira island is breath-taking ! The amazons are fantastic ! And Diana is like a breath of fresh air. Everytime Gal Gadot is onscreen, I couldn't take my eyes off her. She brings charm, beauty, hope, courage, innocense, intelligence, and fierceness to her character. Everything a Wonder Woman should be !

Chris Pine, who could well be a leading superhero, agreed to play second-fiddle (love interest) to Gal Gadot. But he managed to bring enough substance to his role that you would likely relate to him. They have great onscreen chemistry  ! I especially loved their convos in the bath and on the boat. 


WW is now breaking box office records all over the globe. Credits go to the director Patty Jenkins, the writers Allan Heinberg, Zack Snyder, & Jason Fuchs, and of course the actors Gal Gadot., Chris Pine, Robin Wright, Connie Nielsen, etc. Congratulations to Warner Bros. Pictures for bringing us this wonderful film !

I'm gonna go watch this again ! If I could describe WW in one sentence ? She's truly a WONDER !
