Review of Wonder Woman (2017) by Jake F — 10 Sep 2017

Ironic that the once almost destroyed character of the DCEU is now saving DC comics and the future of DC comics movies. A unique take on a character that has had a past with a variety of film related roles.

Gadot has a screen presence that promotes passion and positivity, the perfect combination for her role as Wonder Woman. Add her comfortable chemistry with Pine, and this movie checks almost all the boxes.

However, this film falls short of perfection, as it stretches it's final battle scene for much too long. The film was focused on character development and the interesting relationship between Gadot and Pine, but it misses the mark when it places 30 minutes of focus on a final fighting scene that is disconnected from the main core of the film.
