Review of Wonder Woman (2017) by Chiek E — 06 Oct 2017

Two thumbs up. Woman power has finally arrived taking centre stage and not just as a side kick like Black widow in Avengers. Its the rare combination of beauty, compassion, grace and strength that makes wonder woman Gal Gadot just simply irresistible and the film so riotously entertaining.

Gadot's formidable resume as ex beauty queen, ex soldier in the Israel army, strong Jewish family values, wife, mother of two daughters and Hotel owner certainly made her an excellent candidate for WW role.

With stellar takings at the box office, Gadot is Warner Brothers most bankable minting machine. More than Carvill or Affleck. So please WB, time to pay Gadot for what she is worth. Not counting Nolan's dark knight trilogy, DC comic finally has a champion on film to match Marvel's dominating and run away success.

Marvel's fearsome Black Widow certainly cannot come close to match DC's Amazon lady. Well deserved for Warner brothers/DC after striving so hard with so many male superheroes that fell far short of Ironman or Captain Americal.

DC superheroes predecessors of WW just could not equal Marvel's magic. Not until WW bursting into the scene in 2017. Already in Batman vs Superman, WW's appearance and the incredible sexy signature sound track for WW portended great excitement to come.

We are not disappointed. Besides a great script and visionary directing, the key to the film's gigantic success is undeniable Gal Gadot's magnetism and her magic chemistry with Chris Pine. A little sad that Gadot and Pine's parted far too soon.

His death was however not in vain. It was their romantic love and death that was the final catalyst that completed WW's invincibility and resolve to bring good to the world. Love, as we see repeatedly, is the most powerful motivating force in the universe.

To save or to destroy.
