Review of Wonder Woman (2017) by Yuma O — 07 Jun 2017

I don't usually write reviews even though I'm an avid movie-goer, but this movie feels like it is worth it. Although I didn't come out of the theater jumping in excitement, the more time I spent thinking about Wonder Woman, the more I respected and appreciated it.

It grew on me *after* watching it, as I had more and more time to think about it and realize what a masterpiece it is. The movie breaks numerous boundaries for both superhero movies and for movies in general.

I'm not one for deep analysis; I go to the movies for one thing only: to be entertained. This movie literally had ONE boring scene in it, and that is the bar scene where they chat (great time for restroom break.

) Other than that, it was action-packed, humorous, and amazingly directed. The first half of the movie is about Diana of Themyscira and how she came to be, as well as setup for the second half. One of my favorite scenes from any movie of all time takes place here, when the Amazonians defend their land from the Germans (not a spoiler, don't worry.

) Then comes the second half, where it gets action-PACKED. Amazing fight scenes, *wonder*ful music, and I don't usually say this, but brilliantly written. I found myself almost crying at some parts, and stifling laughter in others.

The actors, cinematographers, visual effects team, and director all did a superb job and they are the real heroes here. This was an amazing movie, take my word for it, and if you like anything I mentioned above, you'll enjoy Wonder Woman.
