Review of Wonder Woman (2017) by Marcel B — 07 Jun 2017

I first became familiar with Wonder Woman when watching the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series "Superfriends" on Saturday mornings on ABC. That network later aired a live action-version of her with Lynda Carter playing her during World War II.

When CBS picked the series for a second season, the setting changed to present time. I've never read the Wonder Woman comics though I did read of her adventures in the All-Star Squadron comics during the '80s which depicted her Earth-2 (original Golden Age version) counterpart during WWII.

All that I just mentioned were pretty enjoyable. As for this version, Gal Gadot certainly has both the beauty and body strength for the character. Chris Pine was also fine as her heroic partner-both in battle and love-Steve Trevor.

Setting it during World War I was a nice change. The action was awesome and the occasional humor was also welcome. In summary, I highly recommend Wonder Woman.
