Wonder Woman

Well, ticket prices being what they are, plus my ability to smell out a stinker movie based on the preview. I am very selective on the movies I see in theaters, and here we go again with the super hero genre. Is this movie the mega hit DC comics needed, or was it another super let down? Let find out:





Wonder Woman- Wonder Woman was created by the American psychologist and writer William Moulton Marston, and artist Harry G. Peter. Marston and his wife Elizabeth's cohabitantOlive Byrne, is credited as being his inspiration for the character's appearance. Marston drew a great deal of inspiration from early feminists, and especially from birth control pioneer Margaret Sanger. The character first appeared in All Star Comics #8 in October 1941 and first cover-dated on Sensation Comics #1, January 1942. The Wonder Woman title has been published by DC Comics almost continuously except for a brief hiatus in 1986.

Plot- You live through the origin story of Diana, Princess of Themyscira (Gal Gadot), home to the Amazons. The amazons were created by Zeus to help guide man through love and strength. Unfortunately, men's hearts were corrupted by Zues' son, Ares, and Ares wants to destroy the world of man through war. During World War I, a pilot named Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) crashes on Themyscira, and this is when Diana learns about man and the outside world. She vows to help him to stop the war, because she knows Ares is the cause of it.

This movie had some serious charm to it, especially when Wonder Woman enters our world, and she's so naive to how women were treated in those times. Her reactions to those men are priceless. Gal Gadot, even though, this poor lady received so much hatred after being casted as Wonder Woman. She owns this part! The fight scenes were top notch, watching her kick nazis butt on the war front. There was quite a bit of CGI, but it was forgivable. Chris Pine's and Gal Gadot's chemistry was perfect, and much of the charm in this film came from their interactions.

Final Verdict- 9.5/10, this is the smash hit for the summer. Highly recommend to see this theaters! Its got action, humor, the total package.

Next time ill be back with some more reviews for those of you that love going to the movies. For now, this is Phil Goes to the Movies, so you don't have to!
