First, I wouldn't honestly rate this title 10 stars. But I'd be happy to give it 8 or even 9. Why 10 then?
Captain Marvel has a 7.1 on IMDB. Wonder Woman is only .4 ahead of it. That's a crying shame.
Gal Gadot NAILS this character. Her strength, her courage of conviction.. it gives me goosebumps when I think of certain scenes and how righteous and powerful she is. Chris Pine is also great, and the chemistry between him and Gadot is charming, well-done, and so well-written. Some of the CGI is spotty, but there are some beautiful sequences as well (such as when her mother is teaching her their history).
The third act, and the fight with Aries borders on 'meh'. I also thought the cast of misfit soldiers was kind of annoying at times, and also why did they attend that party in that castle? That whole part where they passed high-level German security with bad German accents was very ridiculous.
But overall, the movie is actually a fun experience. It makes you feel things. When WW goes "over the top" of the trenches with her shield, I literally raised my fist in the air and cried 'yes!' (I'm a guy btw).
I have watched WW three times and will gladly watch it again. I saw Captain Marvel recently and will NEVER watch it again. Wonder Woman is an excellent example of a female-led superhero movie done more-than-mostly right, CM is flat, dull, uninspired, and deserves a 3/10, not 7.
