A character that encompasses so much to the average Joe. Strength, power, bravery, intelligence; and amazingly DC managed not to fuck it up (woohoo)! The people of Warner Brothers have actually produced something that had given comic book and movie fans alike, a slither of hope for the DC cinematic universe. What is this slither of hope you may ask? Wonder. Woman!

For a woman that's been around for a couple of hundred years, she hasn't aged a day and she certainly hasn't lost any of her relevance. Never more so before, the world was crying out for a super hero movie which was lead by a strong female. And yes, Black Widow from the MCU is a strong female superhero, however, she definitely plays a supporting role behind her fellow avengers. This was a 100% solo performance for Wonder Woman which is the basis of it's appeal. This is why I wanted to go see it. To see how DC would handle portraying a character that hasn't been depicted for a very long time.

Here's the 411. Before Wonder Woman became well; Wonder woman, She was Diana a princess and highly skilled and trained warrior. When a pilot crashes and brings the outside world to her isolated island, she finds out the terror the world is currently facing. She then leaves home to fight the war to end all wars where (of course) she discovers her full powers and true destiny (would you like extra cheese with that?)

The movie is quite a dark movie, much less comical than MCU films, however that is in keeping with the tone of the DC comic movies. The action sequences, script and character development evolve smoothly and you become really invested in the supporting characters because of this. The one downfall that I would give this movie is that it's long. Very long. I'm talking transformers like 3-hour feeling I have to go to the toilet again long. But, I'm not mad. I was able to hold it in and it was worth it. If you're looking for a movie to restore your faith in the potential of the future DC, Justice League and Batman movies. This is it. The Potential is there and Warner Brothers just need to make sure that they keep making movies like this and that fans will stay. They may even make some new ones because of it. GO SEE IT! - 4 stars
