Review of Wonder Woman (2017) by Phildog — 01 Jun 2017
You know how the Batman and Superman films completely missed the points of the characters and what they're supposed to stand for? You know how all the acting and dialog was clunky? How the plot made no sense?
Yeah, reverse all that. It's AMAZING. They totally 100% get her character. This is, hands down, the best portrayal of her character I've ever seen. Cartoons and comics included. She goes with the flow, but isn't afraid to just do what she wants if she thinks you're being unreasonable. She is an amazing fighter, but also incredibly strong, and most importantly driven by her innate compassion.
The characters are all fleshed out realistically. It takes time to flesh out even some of the side characters when you least expect it. The characters all react pretty realistically to their scenarios they find themselves in. There is not a single scene that does not belong there, and you always understand exactly what is happening and why (unless the film intentionally doesn't want you too).
IT'S A GREAT MOVIE. I can't believe I'm saying this, but yes. Hell yes. It's right up there with some of the best solo marvel films like Ant Man and Iron Man, and better than a lot of marvel films, but not all of them.
It is exactly what we all wanted, when we need it, how we needed it.
