Wonder Woman (2017)
8/10
It's about time!

Wonder Woman had a lot of pressure, as it's the first Live Action Film Debut for the 75 year old character & for a lot of fans & movie goers last chance for the DC Cinematic Universe (DCCU).

Wonder Woman tells the story of an Amazonian Princess & her adventures in man's world. It sounds bland & generic, but it's executed perfectly.

Gal Gadot portrays Wonder Woman in a way that makes her human. Gadot & Patty Jenkins (Director) bring out every scene, from the blood pumping action to the emotional & heart breaking.

Chris Pine's comedic timing & the chemistry between him & Gadot made us feel their relationship wasn't added because there's a female lead & it's a superhero film.

Every scene in the trailer that made your eyes open & smile like a child was just as jaw dropping as you want it to be on the big screen.

The cinematography was beautiful, the music is a big part of every superhero film.

Rupert Gregson-Williams, Composer, made a big part of the film. The already, almost, overwhelming scenes made the scenes explode with life & power. Every gun shot & missile explosion made the scene explode. The locations' had different scenes, from Themyscira to London, the atmosphere was felt almost immediately.

With Wonder Woman being set 100 years ago, this is the first "proper" standalone corner stone for the DCCU, there are hardly any tie-ins with other DC properties. It had humour, well-paced storytelling, not an overwhelming number of characters so we could get to know them, strong willed characters, both female & male. Beautiful sets from Themyscira, London & the War sets.

Wonder Woman is engaging, heartfelt, fun, powerful & exactly what DC & Wonder Woman fans need.
